Albert Lea Times It is difficult for
us in Freeborn county to see how the
farmers around Austin arc going to
get along now that their creamery is
closed for the winter. shere never has
been and is now no question but that
dairying pays the bast Of all the
branches Of farming and now that beef
lis SO low there is no branch of farming
that prom ises any returns at all ex-
|cept dairylng and pork GROWING. 10 be
isure, our Austin friends nigh sell all
their grain, corn and hay In the market
at good prices this year but they can.
| not continue to do This and keep the
Ist0ck which they; must have tOsmains
tain the fertility Of the soil.
