SEEDING A WEEK LATER.
But It Is Eariv Enough II Warm
Weather Sets In.

Winona, April 5.-The second report
for the present crop season for the ter
ritory along the Chicago & Northwest
ern road in Minnesota and the Dakotas
has been issued and contains much val
liable information.
From the reports that are sent in
from along the lines it is evident that
the season this year is week later
than last year. At the present time
farmers quite generally are narrowing
and are doing other preliminary work,
and by the latter part of the week
seeding will be general, if present favor
able weather prevails. The season is
considered early enough if weather
conditions are such that work can pro-
gress.
A much larger amount of fall plow
ing than has been usual was done last
fall, and at least twice as much as the
previous year, and the crop will 60 in
much fore quickly than last season. On
account of the heavy fall rains, the
ground now contains plenty of moist
IRE. Heavy snow in December and
heavy spring rains has placed the ground
in good condition for the crop.
The quality of the seed will be much
better this season. There is more and
better quality, and farmers generally
are more particular in its selection and
treatment. The seed is stronger this
year than last.
1t is estimated that the acreage will
be increased over last season about as
follows: Wheat, 10 per cent; barley,
20 per cent; corn, % per cent; oats, 20
per cent; speltz, % per cent; flax, so
per cent The acreage of each will be
in the order named This increase is
caused principally by new breaking.

the small difference in price and the
large difference in yield.
There has been large increase in
emigrants to South Dakota. Last win
ter there were 1916 ears and this winter
there were 6S5 cars These are all adj
ditions to farming force. The class of
farming is becoming better each year.

would make an elegant street, he
thought, if this was done.
The matter of continuing the lease of
the George II. Hoerr property for a
market was referred to the committee
on markets. The lease has expired. Aid.
Atchison said that he thought that he
could get ground in his part of the city
for market, if necessary.
A bill was received from L. G. M.
Fletcher for $24 for years rent for
ground upon which the city has piled
some stone, and one for $40 for five
five cords of stone that he claims that
the city took by mistake. They were
laid over.
The bills were allowed, including the
following: Pay roll, $537.9S, of which
$3O42S is for streets; Alex Bashaw, es-
innate No. 2 on North Broad street
sewer, $77435. 1t was stated that Mr..
Bashaw has made excellent progress.
John Janda was authorized to brick
veneer his building and put on an iron
roof, it being within the fire limits, and
he desiring to improve it.
Building Permits.
The following building permits were
reported granted by City Engineer
Thompson: Mrs. Charles Veigel, frame
dwelling, $4,000; j. S. Young, frame
dwelling, $4,000; A. NJ. Willard, two
frame dwellings, 500 and $1,000; Hans
Hanson, frame barn, 5000; c. G. Carls.
from, brick dwelling, $500; F. B. Swan
son, frame dwelling, $3.50; Joseph Bic
napf, addition to cigar factory, $1,000;
III. w. Harrem, frame dwelling, $500.
The bill from the Concordia band for
$3.50 for painting and papering the band
room on the third floor of the city hall,
laid over from the last meeting, was
brought up by Aid. Schroeder.
Aid. Heinze said that the committee
on claims and accounts was not ready
to report on the bill. He did not like
the idea of anyone mourning a bill
against the city without authority,
and it would be establishing bad pre-
cedent to allow it without thorough in
vestigation, which he had not been able
to make.

Complaint of Junk Dealers.

From Fridays Daily.
Many complaints have been made tc
the city attorney of boys stealing var
ious small articles and selling them to
the junk dealers. 1t appears that these
dealers are willing to buy from boys OF
any age, no matter how young, and the
result is that young boys are encouraged
to commit thefts. Mr.. Daily presented
the matter to Chief Donahue today, and
the latter will undoubtedly take steps t
have the Junk dealers use more disce-
ton. Unless the practice is stopped
Mr.. Daily is in favor of starting prose
cutions.

WORD OF ADVICE.
Dairy and Food Commissioners Talk
to Country Merchants.


Edward X. Slater, state dairy and
food commissioner, has issued the fol-
lowing word of advice to country mer
chants: :
"This department has been given con-
siderable attention to groceries shipped
into the state by mail order houses. We
have been trying to place before the
consumers the fact that many of these
goods are illegal under our pure food
laws, and that this department has no
jurisdiction over such shipments. We
cannot punish such violatOrs and thus
protect the consumers, as we are enabl-
ed to do when the goods are sold inside
the state. 1t follows, as matter of
course, that this department desires to
see goods only purchased through local
dealers, so that all consumers will re-
ceiye the protection afforded by strict
enforcement of our pure food laws.
"The country merchant must do his
duty if he desires to compete with the
catalogue houses. He must beat him
with his own weapon-advertising He,
too, must have special prices on certain
articles if he wishes to hold the home
trade Grocers and country merchants
who think they are so located that they
cannot advertise successfully should
study the subject of advertising. There
is probably no store, city or country,
whose business could not be advertised
successfully if the proprietor only knew
how and has the nerve and patience to
do it. There are few country mer-
chants in remote localities who have
mastered advertising so successfully that
mail order competition does not bother
them. This idea that you have lived so
long in town that every body knows
you and you don't need to advertise is
mistake. This very Indifference to
advertising, Indifference to doing business
the way business is done in this day
and age, is what has enabled the mail
order houses to grow from mere nothing
to great concerns.
"The merchant who can convince the
people of his section and keep them con-
WINGED that his store is the best place
to buy this and that article will not
lose trade to the mail order house Of
course, he cannot afford to get out a
catalogue as thick as bible, but he
can keep an advertisement in his local
papers and see that it is changed every
week, thus keeping new bargains con-
tinually before the public. He should
also have mailing list and send out
circular letter at least once month.
"Nothng is more discouraging than
beginning an advertising campaign. Re-
suits are almost invariably slow at first.
1t takes pluck-you must keep at it
and master it. The mail order houses
get trade because they 90 fishing for
it-and you, Mr.. Country Merchant, can
get it too. Will you go fishing for it ?
'Dont look upon your country news
paper as an object of charity. There is
not single country newspaper in the
state, with a general local circulation
which is not able to give full value for
money received. The country papers can
help you solve this question if you will
give them the chance"

War on Dogs.
Aid. Atchison moved that it was the
sense of the council that the dog Ii
cense ordinance be enforced and that an
officer be appointed to catch the unlicens-
ed dogs. He thought that catcher from
abroad ought to be secured, and that
a place should be made for dog pound.
A dog catcher from the twin cities can
be secured, and his salary will be paid
out of the fees for dog licenses taken
out. 1t is impossible to find local
man who will be satisfactory.
The matter was talked over, and it
was decided to see whether a dog catch
er can be secured in this city, and if not
to let Chief Donahue get one in the twin
cities. The board of public works is to
prepare the dog pound. The campaign
