Granite Journal: J.G.C. johnson,
deputy game and fish warden, sur
missing that seine fishing was going on
in the river below town, took trip
down that way at an early hour
Thursday morning last and found
seven men engaged in illegal fishing.
But he did not come upon them sud-
denly, for in company with several
others, he watched them at work in
the river some two hours before he let
them know of his presence. When he
did so they were surprised lot of
men, for two of their number had
been on shore walking up and down
along the river bank all the time and
had no idea anyone was right there
watching their actions. When John
son thought the proper time had come
he walked out to the wagon where
several of the mon we're and asked
them what they were doing there. OF
course they we're just looking around.
One man was still in the boat with
the seine some distance from shore
but he was soon persuaded to come
in. johnson then took the net, which
proved to be eight feet wide and one
hundred and twenty feet long, and
told the fishermen it was now the
property Of the State, and they would
be dealt with later. johnson and
John Parsons carried the seine to
town, and a heavy load they had of it.
The weekly crop bulletin for the
week ending Monday, May "a, 1897,
follows: The week opened warm and
clear. From the middle to the end of
the week there was cloudy weather,
and local showers on the evening of
the 18th, on the 10Th, 2lst and I'D,
which reached about every portion of
the State, but the largest amounts
seem to haye been in the central and
western parts of the southern half OF
the State. The latter part of the week
was cool, the temperature falling
steadily after Wednesday and reaching
the lowest point on the morning Of
the 24th, with frost general in all Sec
tons. All small grains are growing
nicely, though the late sown were suf
fering slightly for want of surface
moisture till the rains of this week
supplied it. Early wheat has been
stooling we'll during the cool weather,
but late wheat is reported little thin
in places. IN WinoDa county wheat
has yeliowish tinge from some un-
known cause. Rye is heading in
Goodhue and Dakota counties, but it
is thin. Corn planting is generally
finished in the southern section and
we'll advanced up to the northern linn
it of corn. Much corn is coming up
nicely where good seed was planted,
but cool nights and cloudy days have
not been favorable corn weather.
There are some reports of corn rotting
in the ground. The early potato crop
is nearly all planted, and the planting
of the remainder is in progress; in
some places it is growing we'll. Past
ures are improving, and stock is gen.
orally out on the grass. There were
several light frosts during the week,
but up to the 23d the injury was very
light. Reports of the frost of the Oath
have not been received yet.
