APR0GRESSIVE FARMER
His Opportunities in This
County are Num-
.
erouS.

Chas. Peterson of Elmdale was one
of the grand jurors at this weeks
term of court. In speaking of the op-
portunities the Morrison county farm
or has for diversified farming, Mr..
Peterson said that this year he had
secured several bushels of fine apples
from three trees set out few years
ago. A neighbor got ten bushels of
fine Ben Davis apples from few trees.
Mr.. Peterson transplanted wild plums
and secured such crop this year that
he has been feeding plums to his hogs.
Ee says there is no doubt that with a.
little patience and care several fruits,
notably apples and plums, can be raised
successfully in this county. The aver
age farmer lacks progressiveness. He
is afraid to try something new. Mr..
Peterson a couple of years ago secured
a few bushels Of q special wheat rec
commended by the Minnesota expert
ment station. 1t did not yield quite as
well as the ordinary products but was
of superior quality, and Mr.. Peterson
sold it for IS cents bushel more than
the market price for the other wheat.
Mr.. Peterson is firm believer
in the capability of Morrison county
soil to produce good living for the
intelligent oultivator. He has no de-
sire to emigrate.

The president has approved the rec

Chester (Ia. } Herald: All kinds Of
events happened at the Mite Society's
picnic last Friday afternoon and some
of the ladies say they will never drink
milk again-unless Clarence LOOMS
can prove it Is pure Jersey milk. A
pitcher Of delicious looking milk was
passed around and accepted by the
transporting, who were considered
shocked when informed by the hostess
who later was made aware of the
treat that the COWS were all out
In the pasture too far away to have
been MIXED for the occasion. Two
hungry little colts would have told q
sad story Of the theft had they, been
given the power Of speech. And the
perpetrators of the Joke are keeping
out OF sight of certain ladies who
partook Of the refreshing drink. .

HELPFUL FARM NOTES.

The best method of making the farm
profitable is TO make it productive.
Manure adds TO the productiveness
Of the land as soon as il is applied. but
all the substance is not used up in one
season.
During the winter Is a good time TO
clean up the old fence rows and cor.
ners that have been allowed to grow
up in weeds.
The time to shape the heads of trees
10 while they are young. Then the
tops can be easily trained in almost
any shape desired.
In profitable farming the farm prod
ucts must be put in the form in which
they will command the most money
and yet leave the farm in the most
productive condition.
