New Ulm Review: Redwood Falls
was very much elated over the
prospect of having acanning factory
in that city but the matter has been
dropped because the committee fail
ed to secure the required number
of acres of vegetables. The present
price of grain has caused farmers to
forget that time may come when
to support a canning factory may
pay better than raising grain.
This city offers the best possible
conditions for a canning factory
from the fact that there are so many
people near it who are ready to for
sake general farming and go to rails
ing surer products.

30 and running into Sleepy Eye
creek at section II. In addition to
the main ditch they ask for seven

be drained is about IL miles in
length. The petitioners all united
in bond for 81, 900 to cover the
preliminary expenses, in case the
ditch is not ordered, and any one of
the signers is good for the full
amount of the bond.
