Farmers cannot too carefully

is reported in our neighboring
county. An Olivia paper says that

returned to Minneapolis, but blood

school books. The money paid for
labor, even in the short season, has
been large amount and in the four
years of canning corn here not a
kick has been heardlin any quarter.
The only trouble is that in packing
only one thing, corn, the chances of
profit to the owners is reduced to a
