Marshall Reporter: Too much
chautauqua was the verdict Of those
who attempted to conduct the annu
al election of school board members
last Saturday evening. Four people
were there long enough to vote, had
any voting been done and one of
these was the janitor. In all seven
persons were attracted by the great
gathering long enough to inquire
what was going on. AS result an
other meeting will be held this week
Saturday evening at seven O'Clock.
Milroy Echo: The annual meet
ing of the Farmers Elevator COM
pany, advertised for last Saturday,
was poorly attended and we under
stand that second meeting will be
held next Saturday, and on that
date manager for the ensuing year
will be selected. 1t is reported that
the Sleepy Eye Milling company
made an offer to lease the Farmers
plant. but the stockholders declined
the offer. Every stakeholder ought
to be on hand Saturday to attend
this meeting.
Olivia Times: The Times believes
that the canning factory is an excel
lent enterprise and will prove to be
most profitable industry to Olivia
and vicinity in time. An
industry that affords employment to
such a large number of men, boys
and girls and that creates good
almarket for agricultural products
is certainly worthy of the support
and encouragement of every resident
of this community. The factory has
had the poor corn crop of last year
and other draw backs to contend
with but this should not discourage
any one. In the short time it has
been in operation it has made an
excellent reputation for the quail
ity of the goods canned, and its pros
poets are better at present than at
any other in the past.
There will be more grain of all
kinds throughout the Northwest as
conditions stand today, than there
was last year." said James ]. Hill
when seen at his offices in ST. Paul
recently. IF some unfortunate
condition does not arise the increase
will be from 5 to 10 per cent over
last years crop. The Red River
valley which, during the past few
years, has not made a very good
showing, will do much better this
year. West of the mountains the
crop will be light" When asked
what the Canadian farmers would
have to offer for the market, Mr..
Hill said their crop will undoubtedly
be larger than ever. ''They have
virgin soil, so their crop will be large
Our farmers have not taken care of
their land and, consequently, the
yield will be proportionately light.
Milroy Echo: Monday afternoon
about 5 o'clock a terrible hail and
wind storm visited this section, and
a strip about three miles wide and
at least ten miles in length, COM
mencing northwest of this place and
running southeast, was completely
hailed out. In many instances the
farmers will be lucky to get their
seed back. much less their loss of
labor and the loss of feed. West of
this place four miles very little rain
fell, and a few miles further west
the sun shone bright while here the
rain, wind and hail was destroying
crops. In conversation with most of
those hailed out, they report that
had not there been any hail the
wind and rain would have damaged
the crops at least one-half. AS it is
there are many fields that will not
be cut.
