to"oc recently, in an uncomplimensary
way, as market for farm produce. that
The Pilot decided to secure accurate IN
formation regarding prices paid else
where throughout the county and IN the
markets OF counties adjoining. Man;to-
voc has been advertised by outside
papers az poor market. The Evening
Wisconsin In recent Issue published as
an Item OF news from Sheboygan. that
Manltcwoc county farmers were rasnm-
ing trade with the merchants nj that
city because they got better prices there
than they could here. The Kewaunee
Enterprise noted with pleasure that the
farm trade OF that place had increased
considerably because of better prices
being paid there for farm produce thar
here. The Sheboyean article had no
foundation in fact and was based nnon
lll-consiuered reports emanstip9 from
this county. 1t is true, however. that
hewaunee Is at present an excellent
market for farm pre- 4uce, but it is due 10
active competition which IN all probs-
billty cannot be continued.
The complaint has been made that tho

throughout the county and at Mantle.
voc, is not sufficient to induce farmers
TO bring their produce here. The PHO,
has written to responsible and dis
interested person at each station in the
county where farm produce is purchased
asking that prices paid on Tuesday OF
this week be furnished. Responses have
been received from nearly all and the
public can Judge as to the merits OF the
contention from the reports herewith

No report from Sheboygan was re-
ceived 10 season for publication.
The reports above published are in III
way unfgvorable to Manitowoc as
market for farm produce. 1t is true tia
the superior facilities the city enjoy
should make it much superior to othe
places adjacent. kewaunee and Greer
Bay nave as good transportation rates il
winter as Manitowoc has. Green Ba
has as good rates as MBnitowoc the yea
round.
