No More Burning Of. Straw.


PETER Prins, of Willmar, was here
Wednesday interviewing our citizens
with the view of selling shares for the
new strawboard factory to. be started
in Willmar, and also to contract with
the farmers in this vicinity for their
straw next fall. Mr.. Prins feels very
enthusiastic over the success of such
an enterprise in this, county and be-
lieves it to be of great benefit to the
farmers who will have a good market
for their straw which heretofore has
mostly been burned in the fields. :
The intention of the new company
is to erect straw sheds in the different
towns, where the farmers can market
their straw baled and the price to be
paid per ton at the factory is $500.
This will net the farmers in this vicin-
ity about $500 per ton for their straw
as it will have to be shipped by rail
from here to Willmar. MIR. Prins is
an experienced workman from Hol-
land, where he was engaged in the
manufacture of straw board for thirty
years, and in which country factories
of this kind are quite numerous. He
has secured his patent for the manu-
facture of this product and arrange
ments are already in progress at Will
mar for the establishment of the fac-
tory, which, it is expected, will be in
order for operation by fall About
$1,000 worth of stock has been dis
posed of at Clara City and there is no
question but what considerable will be
taken here and lii the vicinity of
Prinsburg.-Raymond News. " {:
