SIX HUNDRED NEWSPAPERS
State Superintendent Whitney Reports
this Number in the State.

Captain G. G. Whitney, state super
intendent of printing, is compiling for
the legislative manual revised list
of the newspapers of the state.
There has been a gain of forty one
papers since 1900, when the last list
was compiled, and loss of forty,
making a net gain of one. On Jan.
1 there were CAT papers in the state.
In politics, the Republicans have
gained twenty-six papers and lost
eighteen. Of those lost ten were
small publications which suspended
three were consolidated with other
papers, and five were papers published
in foreign languages and devoted to
other interests than politics, but class,
ed as Republican. They have now
abandoned the field of politics.
The Democrats gained seven and
lost three papers. The independent:
gained three and lost twelve, while
the Populist gained one and lost
seven.
The Independents, Populists ant
Democrats combined, gained twelv.
and lost twenty-six papers, a net los
of fourteen, while the Republican
made net gain of eight.

Of the state barley's increase in favor

Milwaukee. Most of Armour's pur-
chases of barley go to that point.
Wheat is stubbornly resisting this
advance of feed grains from the south.
AS previously noted, Faribault and
Blue Earth have cut the wheat acreage
this year to some extent, but not as
much relatively as the counties to the
west. Good judges say that whatever
reduction has been made in Brown
county and others in that immediate
section is relatively small. William
Silverson, manager of the Eagle mills
at New Ulm, says that the decrease in
wheat acreage in Brown county is
hardly perceptable, and he hears few
reports indicating a decreased acreage
in wheat from Nicollet and Redwood.
Southern Minnesota is bringing its
fax acreage and production down to
minimum. Up to the present year
there were some districts where con-
siderable fax was grown. But this
remnant is being made much smaller
this year. Southern Minnesota tow
mills are moving into North Dakota
where there is plenty of flax straw.
A Heron Lake man has invented a
portable mill which partly converts
the straw into tow and bales it at the
stack, doing away with the necessity
for so many stationary mills. What
fax there is in southern and south
western Minnesota promises a fair
yield.

GROWTH OF DELIVERY.

Rural free delivery, says the Mime
apolis Times, frowned upon by many
representatives in congress when it
was first suggested, and bitterly OPP
posed by fourth class postmasters and
star route contractors. has scored a
wonderful growth since that time, and
with few exceptions those who were
hostile to the idea in the beginning
are willing that their attitude at that
time shall be forgotten. From A
routes in 1897 the system has grown to
81, 90, and whereas the service cost
$40 600 in that year it will require an
outlay of nearly 81, 900, 900 this year.
So great success is rural free deliv-
cry that is bringing carrier service to
the smaller towns, and in time the
proportion of our people who cannot
have their mail delivered at their
doors will be small.

GAIN IN FEED GRAINS.
Corn Is Fast Becoming a Leading
Crop.

Albert Lea Tribune:
Corn, Iowa's great product, has
crossed the southern boundary line of
Minnesota and invaded the south
western counties in full force. If the
predictions are true that Minnesota
will ultimately become a great corn
state, some of the southwestern coun-
ties have this year given her reason
ably good start. These counties have
been taking more kindly to corn and
hogs in the past three years, %but in
some Of them the change to corn has
been more remarkable this year than
ever before. Eighty-acre fields of corn
are common, 100-acre fields are fire.
quent and now and then a farmer can
be found who has devoted full quar-
ter section to corn.
This year will improve Minnesota's
status as corn-shipping state. Ship
ments of corn of any consequence out
of southern Minnesota may be said to
have begun last year. Many stations
along the southern Minnesota line Of
the Milwaukee road shipped from ten
to twenty-five cars. Others report
shipments of forty and fifty cars, and
there is one station, Jackson, which
made its first shipment of corn last
year amounting to about sixty cars. 1t
is estimated that with reasonabl
good yield On the corn acreage this
year some of these stations will double
and possibly treble their shipments of
last season.
Not only corn but all feed grains are
growing in favor with the farmer of
the southern counties, and Mime
apolis, if she gets a reasonable portion
of these grains, will feel the effects of
it this year. This is more noticeable
in some counties than in others de-
pending to some extent upon the ex-
perience of the farmer in wheat Gull
ture in the past two or three years. In
Martin, Jackson, Mobiles and Rock
counties many Of the farmers insist
that the soil will no longer furnish
the yield nor the grade of wheat neces-
sary to making wheat culture profita-
BILE. Pipestone county farmers have
had tough experience with wheat in
the past two years and the stampede
to corn and other feed grains in that
county this season is large. On the
other hand, Faribault, Freeborn, Blue
Earth and Waseca counties are making
the change more leisurely. Their land

Gen. c. c. Andrews, state fire
warden, has issued his annual report
and it will soon be printed. The re-
port is an interesting one and deals
entirely with the forestry of the state.
During the year there were fifty five
fires which burned about 60, 900 acres
of timber, entailing loss of $43, 600.
On the possibilities of forestry in this
state Mr.. Andrews says:
cit is estimated that there are, in
scattered localities, and principally in
northern Minnesota, 5000, 600 acres of
waste sandy, hilly or rocky land that
is only fit for bearing pine forest.
Hence, if the states were now to begin
to plant that land with pine at the
rate of 3, $50 acres per year, the whole
would in eighty years become well
stocked, normal forest, yielding per-
petually thereafter 675, 600, 600 feet
board measure annually. The net an
nual revenue to the state would be
Just what this amount of 675, 600, 600
feet would, at such future time, be
worth, standing 1t might be 50, 600, :
600 or more. What a great endowment
this would be for the state. Besides
yielding a splendid revenue from
waste lands, which otherwise would
every year become more barren and
useless, it would afford steady labor
for thousands of people,, and, among
indirect benefits, it would tend to
beautify our landscape, modify the
temperature, fertilize the soil, and re-
plenish the water supply. Very few
states indeed, have the natural re-
sources for such great work. Indi-
viduals will not, and cannot, wait
eighty years for a crop of timber to
grow. and if our waste lands are to
be utilized the state must undertake
the enterprise.
A considerable portion of the report
deals with the Morris bill for the
opening of the Chippewa Indian reser'
walton, which is considered to be 8
great thing for forestry. There is q
discussion of tree-planting bounties,
statistics OF European forestry, and
an essay on "a Forest Working Plan
by the eminent forester, DR.. William
Schlich.
