But, oh! how sorry we are that IA

The record of the old First Mime
sofa, which years ago on the bloody

Today the state is doubly proud, for

regiment bearing the name of the state
shares the peoples pride.
Beside the name of the First Mime

A Mr.. G. P. Sherry in an interview
with the Mortified News, in speak
ing Of the raising of apples in Southern
Minnesota says: sour farmers are
making the mistake Of setting out too
many fall apple trees instead of winter
apples. We can grow just as hardy
winter apples here as in the East or
anywhere else, in fact the flavor sur
passes those raised elsewhere. AS a
money making investment the winter
apple is profitable one. 1 have raised
enough hardy winter apples to last
my family the winter through and
they are worth $3.50 a bushel, while
Duchess apples and other fall varieties
have only been bringing so cents a
bushel Some of the best winter varie-
ties 1 know of, are the Patten Green
ing, Northwesting Greening, Long
field, Melinda, Winter Dutchess and
the old standby. the Wealthy. These
are all hardy and most excellent ap-
pies. There Is no reason why Min
nesota cannot be ranked among the
apple-producing states, and our peo-
pie ship out the fruit instead of i'm
porting it. A winter apple is as easy
to grow as fall apple and much more
profitable"
