necessary but is done to allay the fears
Of some strict constructionists. There
is no doubt that the people will ratify
this amendment.
Enough of the tax commissions
measures have been agreed to for
passage at the special session to laise
$500. 900 in revenues to taks the place
of the direct taxes on real and per-
sonaI property which are to re abol-
ished and which amount to $500, 600.
The ether measures raising the ad-
ditional revenues will be passed at
the regular session of 1905. all these
taxes will come off of interests which
enjoy special privileges. Increased
liquor taxes are part of the program
! for the extra session. A state tax
commissioner and the abolition of the
sher,ff's graft in conveying pr sioners
to the penitentiary is another part. Bv

carried out Berkeley connty will be the

The friends of tax reform are highly
pleased with the condition of affairs,
and need but the enactment of the
avs to complete their victory.

Telephone Seems Assured.

The way matters now look, telephone
connection between Milaca and South
shore, within a very short time, may
be regarded as practically an assured
thing, work to be started at once and
operations to be pushed rapidly. The
thing was brought to definite action
point by Fl. E. Barnum and John Nc
Clure who made trip to Midland last
week to consult II. Mann of that place
regarding the matter. Mr.. Mann has
just completed an extension to Mid
land of the line running from Aitkin
to Nichols on the north shore of the
lake, and Messrs. Mcclure and Bar
mum asked him for his best figure to
build line from Southshore to
Milaca. He stated that the cost OF
building the line that distance would
be about $500 and he offered to under
take it On condition that pledged sup
port of the 'phone service to the
amount of $4,000 could be secured.
An effort will be made to raise this
amount. but to clinch the matter with
out further delay, Mr.. Barnum has
agreed to purchase the line upon it's
completion for 900 if the necessary
support has not been secured by that
time. Mr.. Mcclure has about 400
poles already out which can be Sc
cured at once to begin work with, so
there seems to be no good reason why
Southshore should not be on excellent
speaking terms with the outside world

THE CROP OUTLOOK.
Hopeful Harry Reports on Outlook From
Personal Observations.

Personal Observations
Reports come from many localities
of much damage being done to crops
by storms and rust so I recently made
a tour through the southern part of
Mile Laos county to ascertain the
condition of the crops. have also
made inquiry of men from adjoining
counties and I find the condition of all
kinds OF grain, excepting corn, to be
very good. A few fields of oats have
rusted some but many fields are above
an average, so there will be full crop
and will here say that observation
has confirmed the opinion that I have
had for many years that there is no
variety of oats that is as sure of
good yield as the White Russian.
They are seldom troubled with rust,
do not crinkle, are less liable to lodge
and yield more bushels to the acre
| than any other oat.
Wheat has rusted some. A little
rust is found in a majority of fields
but the wheat was so near ripe before
rust came that but little damage was
done and I am OF the opinion that
there will be an average crop. There
will be an average crop OF barley.
There is difference of opinion in re-
gard to speltz. Some farmers claim
that it does not do as we'll as barley
and oats, while others claim much
larger yield than either. On making
inquiry I find that those who get a
small yield SOW only one and one-half
bushels to the acre, while those who
get large yields SOW two and one-half
to three bushels to the acre. I know
of one man that threshed $50 bushels
from five acres or 80 bushels to the
acre, but it may be that the difference
in soil in different localities will tend
to make some difference in yield.
9 g g
The corn crop is a very uncertain
one. There is a good stand of corn
but it is SO backward that frost is liza
BILE to cause nearly total loss. It is
partly the farmers' fault that corn is
so backward. It is necessary to plant
corn as early as possible or as early
as the season will permit. One man
has truly said that it is better to have
corn freeze in the spring than in the
fall.
Until within two weeks potatoes have
been very promising crop but now
the outlook is not so encouraging.
The blight is seen in many fields and
potatoes are rotting badly in some To-
calities. It is too early to determine
what the crop will be.
The hay crop is good and hay has
been secured in good condition.
| There will be no excuse for poor stock
the coming winter.
In my travels I have seen many
things that were pleasing to the eye.
One of the most pleasing sights was
in a visit at one of the Oldest farmers
in the town Of Milo who has several
apple trees twenty or more years old
that are loaded with apples. Some of
the trees are the Duchess variety and
| the apples are very large and it re-
minded us of bygone years when we
used to climb the trees and pick twenty
or thirty bushels from one tree. On
the same farm we found tame plum
trees we'll loaded with plums that we're
very large. They are not the tame
plum Of Minnesota. They were
brought from New York many years
before nurseries were thought of in
Minnesota. Every farmer can have
