HELPING THE FARMERS.
A. C.. johnson Of Northwestern Assist
ina Institute Work in S. D.

From Friday Dally.
General Agent A. c. Johnson, of the
Chicago & Northwestern road, with
headquarters in Winona is cooperating
with the agricultural workers in South
Dakota, to help make the winter in
stitute work of practical benefit to the
farmers of that state. This work is to
begin this month, and many points
along the line of the Northwestern
road will be visited by the institute
lecturers. AS last winter, a good deal
of attention will be given to directions
for selecting good seed grain, and still
more stress will be given to methods to
prevent smut. South Dakota farmers
have become somewhat careless as to
smut the last year or two, it is said
with the result that this nuisance is
increasing rapidly. By adopting proper
methods it can be overcome, and the
lecturers will urge that this be done.

BUYING RIGHT OF WAY.
w. r. Sommerfieid of the milwaukee,
Figures With Property Owners.

From Saturday DAILY,
w. F. Sommerfield, Chicago, Milwau
kee & st. Paul railway, was the name
inscribed on the hotel register at the
Mapleton house, Wednesday. The gen
tleman was none other than the right
of-way agent for the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway and his business
in this locality was to purchase the nee
essary land to continue the building of
the proposed line from Good Thunder
to Alden, the grading of which is going
on as rapidly as men and teams can
push it, about mile and half having
been made ready for the ties, says The
Mapleton Enterprise.
Mr.. Sommerfield has not made very
great Roadway in buying up the right
of-way, but he has looked up the coun-
ty records and has good idea of the
land, its value, and in whose name it
appears upon the tax rolls. He has
made propositions to Andrew Mccarthy,
Phillip Duff, Mr. Willie and R. B. Han
ma, we understand, the offers generally
being about 500 per acre, the price
paid for the land which has been secur-
ed from others. Mr.. Willie who owns
the old w. A. Hanna farm in Beauford
was offered 1925 per acre for six acres
and R. B. Hanna was offered 81 600 for
tract of little less than ten acres.
Mr.. Hanna considers that the land is
worth that much to say nothing of the
damage to his property.
In conversation with Mapleton gen
tleman Mr.. Sommerfield stated that he
understood that there would be three
towns between Good Thunder and Al
den on the new line, while one of the
surveyors stated that his instructions
were to lay out town every six miles
where practical Taking Mr.. Sommer-
fields statement it is likely that a town
will be laid out south of Perch lake, one
between Cream and Freeborn and one
at Freedom. This would look more
practical, but there are many who are
still inclined to view the whole project
with skeptical eyes, convinced that if
the Alphabet line can be made to lay
down that all building will be discon-
tinued If this point cannot be achiev-
ed there will be two roads.

FLOUR SHIPMENTS BIG.
Months Output From the Milling Gen.
ter; Car Shortage.

rTOul bohy.
Three hundred and eighty-fve train
loads, or the equivalent of one big
train between fifty and sixty miles long
this was the shipping business of Min
neapolis, for the month of October, in
flour and millstuffs. The figures tab
ulated today show a movement heavy
beyond anything ever known, embrac-
ING II $40 cars, loaded at the mills, with
-four or by-products. 1t makes the heav-
lest months tonnage ever secured by
the railroads at this important point
of origin.
The movement also bears in vital
manner upon the car. supply situateion,
Some flour trains are made up of TWEEN
ty cars, others run to thirty and thirty
five and roads with facilities for haul
ing a heavy train to advantage occas-
sionally take out forty cars. Flour spe-
Gals have been strung along the rails
from Minneapolis in all directions, north
east or south during the entire month.
As fast as cars are obtainable millers
fill them and thew are rushed out.
Today the great industry is on the
edge of uncertainty over the supply.
Other shippers are clamoring for cars
to load, and hundred northwest coun-
try points are sending up loud comp
laints of inability to get cars to load in.
The situation is precarious.
The railroads say they will protect
the milling industry by every means il
their power, but that obligations OF
other shippers are so pressing that the
problem is attracting.
