patch of recent date:
Five complete ship loads of Ameri.
can agricultural implements will be
forwarded from New York and Phila.
de!phia to the Black sea within the
next six weeks. These shipments will
represent no less than 5000 tons,
which is an excess of some 80 per cent
over the entire direct consignments
made during last year to the same
part of the world.
This is, of course, very crafty
ing condition Of things so far as it
affects the manufacturers of farm
machinery, but how about the
wheat growers? Most of these
aconsignmeniS consists of improved
plows, seeders, harvesters and bin
Sders. 1t means that the output of
wheat in southern Russia will be
increased enormously-that the old
methods of turning the soil with a
wooden plow, hand-sowing the
land and reaping with sickle, or
at best cradle, are to be super
seeded by the American system of
agriculture. Vast areas of wheat
lands are being brought under
cultivation not only in the Black
Sea country, but all along the more
than 1000 miles of the trans
sRussian railway. and the thorough
fare a ffordsa cheap and rapid trans
portation to the markets of the
v orld. Australia, India and the
South American countries are in
creaslng their wheat acreage enor-
mously year by year. In other
words, with relatively fixed de-
mand the supply is expanding with
great rapidity. Wheat is distinc-
lively frontier crop-easily pro-
duced and with relatively quick
returns from raw soil. Cheap
lands and limited labor are the only
conditions under which wheat
growing is reasonably profitable.
{ New and cheap lands hold the
record for large crops. twenty
five bushels an acre on lands at
five or ten dollars an acre is quite
different proposition from fifteen
bushels an acre on land worth
twenty-five or thirty dollars.
These are facts worthy the care
full consideration of the Minnesota
farmer. Time was when western
Stearns made money raising wheat
when twenty bushels was a fair
crop and wheat sold around the
dollar mark. Those conditions
have changed, and, in the nature

Otto Schultze, stenographer, wrote
in the Brandenburg Schulblatt that
Bismarck had wonderful memory.
"When he had delivered tive hours
speech and looked over our shorthand
reports the next day, he remembered
every expression he had used exactly
and did not forget hem for years."
The novelist Spielhagen once told
Schultze that he could recall wildly
every one of the thousands Of persons
he had met in his life and every word
spoken by casual acquaintaaces, to-
gether with their gestures and che cut
of their hair and clothes.

STATE SUMMER SCHOOL.
One Will Be Held in Sank
Centre, Commencing
in JulV,

Lucas Kells came up from st. Paul
on Wednesday night, and brings the
gratifying information that there will
be a state summer school held in this
city, commencing probably in July
and continuing about six weeks.
State Superintendent Olson so in
formed Mr.. Kells. There is no more
convenient point in the state than this
for such school and it will be large
one. Our citizens should, when the
proper time arrives, do all in their
power to make it a complete success,
as they will. The Palmer House, and
no doubt the other hotels, will make
special rates for those in attendance.

WILL CONTESTED.
The Estate of A. Moore
Will be Dragged Through
the Courts.

M. Hogan, the executor and trustee
named in the will of Alexander Moore
went to st. Cloud on Friday for the
purpose of probating the will. Says
the Journal-Press:
Formal objections were filed to the
admission of the will to probate in
probate court, Friday morning by Ole
J. Vaule, a Crookston att orney, and
Reynolds & Roeser of this city have
been retained as counsel in the case.
which promises to be an important
one in the annals of Stearns county's
probate and district court practice.
The objections are fled on the part
OF Mrs. Carrie Vinje of Fosston, a
daughter who is mentioned in the
will as Mrs. Carrie johnson. She
has since the will was drawn been
married a second time, her husband
being S. Vinje, a carpenter of Foss-
ton. She was disenherited, being
given but $40 under the terms of the
will, while the bulk of the big estate
goes to two residuary heirs, Mrs.
Jessie Robertson, daughter, and a
granddaughter.
The objections to the instrument
are formal in character, first: that the
will is not executed as in manner as
provided by law for the execution of
wills. and second:i that the signature
to the will was procured by fraud,
constIaint and undue influence on the
part of the executor named therein and
of the residuary heirs named therein.
The hearing, which was originally
set for O'Clock this afternoon, will
come up at o'clock and will be con-
tlnued that the executor, M. Hogan
of Sank Centre, may have time to
prepare to meet the objections. At
torney Vaule, who brings the action
for the disinherited daughter, is
quite confident that he can prove un-
due influence on the part of the
trustee. Mr.. Moore was a very old
man at the time of executing the in
strument.
The hearing on the contest has been
set for Monday, February 10, at
O'Clock in the afternoon.
The matter was taken up late
Friday afternoon in the probate
court, when the objections by Ole J.
Vaule and Reynolds & Roeser, attor-
neys for Mrs. Carrie Vinje, daugh-
ter, were filed. M. Hogan, who is
named as executor and trustee by the
will, was present and had Theodore
.Bruener as his attorney. Neither
side to the controversy asked for the
appointment Of a special executor
pending a hearing of the case, and
Judge of Probate Calhoun, on this
account, set date for az early hear
ing. 1t is expected that the contest
will be a long drawn out one and
that the district and supreme courts.
will be visited before the matter is
finally disposed Of
1t is not anticipated that Lindley
B. Moore, a son, who was cut off
with $40, will take part in the con-
test, as his daughter is named as one
of the residuary legatees. There was
talk to the effect that George M.
Bennett, a son-in-law. would take
part, but it is not believed that he
will. He has been here several times
Of late, but was not present when the
matter was called on Friday in the
