City in NicoIiet County.
From Tuesdays Daily.
A representative of George Fl. Phillips,
the well known Chicago board of trade
man, passed through the city yester-
day on crop inspection trip. He was
driven by George M. Phillips as far as
Nicollet, where he took the train west.
Through Belgrade and to point four
miles beyond George Fletcheer's farm
the crops were found to be fine, the
wheat yielding from twenty to twenty
five bushels to the acre. The crop man
was surprised and said that he would
stop at the first station and telegraph
back that very wrong impression had
gotten out regarding damage to the
crops.
Then a change came in the condi-
ton of the crop, and it was noticed that
black rust had taken hold of the stalks
and wrought havoc All the rest of the
way to Nicollet revealed great fall
ing off in the yie1a, which dropped to
seven bushels to the acre, with shrunken
kernels. At Nicollet, the agent took the
train for WATERFOWL, S. ID.

From Mondays Daily.
At the meeting of the officers of the
Central Minnesota Poultry association
held last Saturday afternoon at the resi-
dence of j. W. holman, the secretary,
to make an effort u mold dog show as
well as chicken show next December.
Those present at the conference besides
Mr.. HOLMAN were L. z. Smith, presi-
dent; Fred 0. True. vice president, and
81. w. Perry, treasurer. Several local
gentlemen, who are interested in dogs,
have been consulted on the subject, and
have given encouraging replies. Among
these is DIR. Dodds, who is very enthus-
iastic for a dog department in the ex-
position. 1t is also planned to have an
aviary, or immense bird cage, as a spe-
cial feature of the institution
The poultry exposition of next, De-
cember will be at least twice
as large as that of last year, judging
by the rapid increase in the member
ship of the association, which has about
doubled since last winters poultry
show. 1t will probably be necessary to
rent two store rooms instead of one.
This will certainly have to be done, if
there is a dog department in addition
to the regular feature.
Thomas F. Rigg of Iowa Fails, Iowa,
who judged the poultry at last years ex-
position, has been engaged to perform
the same service next December.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Wheat continues to come in rapidly,
and it tests the capacity of the elevators
to handle it. Yesterday afternoon and
this forenoon $l.0S was paid for No.
northern, and thousands of bushels were
marketed. So great was the rush at the
Hubbard mill that teams were lined up
until p. m. yesterday, and even then
the farmers were obliged to unload their
sacks and return this morning to empty
them. At the Cargill Bros. elevator the
force remained until all of the wagons
had been unloaded, which was done at
$3.50 p. m. Quite crowd assembled to
see wheat unloaded by moonlight. The
farmers fear that the price will fall and
and trying to get in all that they can
before it does and while the roads are
good.

YIELDS OF GRAIN.

Reports From Threshing Machines
as Given by Correspondents.
From Fridays Daily.
The Beauford correspondent writes
The Mapleton Enterprise as follows:
''We promised an average crop report
for this vicinity this week, but not
enough grain, especially wheat, has been
threshed, to be really definite, but we
will report further next week. George
Sellers has threshed his oats on both
places and estimates the yield at no less
than 65 bushels per acre. Henry Tillman
has just threshed one field of wheat
and that went trife over 20 bushels to
the acre of number one wheat Jake
Meyers reports oats good in quality but
only about 80 bushels to the acre in
quantity. Wesley Ward reports oats at
about 40 bushels and barley 25 bushels
per acre. VIM Meeske's oats went be-
tween 3S and 40 bushels to the acre and
his wheat on corn ground, was good
paying crop of number one quality. John
Munglus threshed a field of rye that
yielded 80 bushels per acre. Rye was
nearly one-third winter killed, but is
fair crop any way as the heads are long
and well filled out, the berry large and
plump"
