HIGH WINDS And HAIL
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO
CROPS BY RECENT STORMS, AO-
CoRDING TO GOVERNMENT RE-
PORT.

I. s.. Outram, local weather observer,
issued the following bulletin today, Civ
ing crop and weather conditions in Min
nesota for the week ending Monday:
Rain fell in nearly all parts Of the
state on the 14th, in northern portions on
the 18th and 10Th, in central and north
ern portions on the 18th, and in south
eastern portions on the Goth. The rains
Of the 14th and 18th were locally heavy,
particularly in the Red River valley,
along the Mississippi river and in the
lower Minnesota valley. On the night of
the 18th these storms in Hubbard, Blue
Earth, Steele, lie Sueur and Washington
counties We're accompanied by high winds
which caused damage to a few buildings
and to standing crops, and in some places
by lightning, which set fire to several
farm buildings, etc. On the evening Of
the Goth very severe storms, accompanied
by destructtvely high Winds heavy rain
and very heavy hail, visited localities in
the region extending from Stearns county
to Mower, Fillmore and Houston counties
also in northern Renville county. In
places there was evidently tornado ac-
ton, with the loss of al least one life, and
the destruction Of crops and much prop
erty. The weather was moderate till the
Goth, which was warm, with temperatures
of 80 degrees or higher in southern and
southwestern portions.
In the southern third Of the state all
the grains are cut except the latest flax;
in central portions there are still some
fields of wheat and oats to cut, while in
the extreme north wheat is ripe, except
at some points in Kittson~ county, and
oats and barley need cutting. In much
Of the Red River valley there is still a
good deal of wheat and oats to cut, but
for some days cutting will be difficult on
the lower lands because Of the soft con-
dition Of the soil. Harvest was resumed
| on the 18th or 10Th on the driest fields,
and 1t will progress as rapidly as possible
because the wheat is ripe and in danger
of falling down. There has been some loss
| already by crinkling down, and an ap-
preciable loss in few places by black
| rust. In central and southern portions
Of the state the rains delayed stacking
| and threshing from the shock, but this
| work was resumed on the 18TH In some
! southern portions there is said to be dam
age to grain in shock by dampness and
| the beginning Of sprouting. Where
| threshing has been done wheat Is yield
| ing well, oats splendidly and barley we'll,
| tho barley is discolored.
| Corn is growing rapidly, with the most
| advanced already dented. Potatoes are
generally a fair crop. Flowing is begun
| in the stubble fields, with the soil in good
condition,

POOR SEED DOES WELL
WHEAT GOES SO POUNDS TO THE
RIJSHEL

Evidence Of the good quality of the
northwest wheat that will soon be NOV
ing freely to market is coming to hand
daily. Today the Cargill company had
q sample of fine milling wheat weighing
tifty-eight pounds to the bushel from
Browns Valley, Mimi, This was raised
from rusted wheat of last year, and
the seed used weighed only forty
pounds to the bushel. The fact that
this lightweight seed will produce SO
comparatively heavy a yield is highly
encouraging, as many acres were, sown
with lightweight wheat, While the adj
vantage is all on the side Of the heavy
seed, the above instance shows what
may be done when it is necessary to
use poor seed, provided conditions are
favorable. .,r
The northwest wheat crop Of 1873
was rusted crop, yet that Of 1879
was of high quality. 1t is believed the
same will show again and the poor crop
Of 1904 is bound to be followed by a
high-quality production this season,
when final averages for the three states
are figured up.

1t pays to wear a smiling face,
And laugh our troubles down,
For all our little troubles wait
Our laughter or our frown.
Beneath the magic of a smile,
Our doubts will fade away,
As melts the frost in early spring
Beneath the sunny ray.
1t pays to give a helping hand
To eager, earnest youth;
To note. with all their waywardEess,
Their courage and their truth;
To strive with sympathy and love,
Their confidence to win,
It pays to open wide the heart
And '1et the sunshine in"
Now, my dear Sunshiners, whether
you have yet written to me or not
will you not do so now? Tell me
of the work you are doing, anu hope
to do. I need your letters in our

From east to west I've watched be-

To think that [ should fear

To watch this dead man here!
In Dacian forests, sitting by our
watchfire,
I've kept the wolves at bay;
On Rhetian Alps escaped the ice

Close where our legions lay;
On moonless nights upon the sands

I've sat with shield firm set,
And heard the lion roar: in this fore

And then | bound my wound, and

Lay crouched upon his side.

Lies at our feet asleep
Round us the still peaceful dead are
lying
In slumber yet more deep.
A low wind moaning glides among
