Heavy Alfalfa Seed Crop.

While July brought a drouth and
hot winds which ruined many fields
of early corn yet it seems now that it
has also brought a fortune to a good
many of the farmers in the way of an
alfalfa seed crop. While corn was
suffering for want of moisture, the dry
weather coming at the time it did was
just the thing for alfalfa as it re-
tarded the growth of the plant, caus-
ing it to blossom heavy and the seed
pods to fill well. The crop will ripen
in few more weeks and if favorable
conditions continue and wet weather
does not interfere with the harvest,
alfalfa growers here say the yield is
likely to be the largest this county
has ever produced.

Duluth, Sept. 19.-An early morning
fire destroyed 100000 worth of lum

The wind blew away from the com.

gotten out of the company's barn in

there are people who believe that the

100000 worth Of property in four

operations to Duluth proper.

Lumber company at the west end.
This fire was easily extinguished be-
fore the flames spread far enough to
do much damage. The lumber con.
sumed at the Alger, Smith & Co. fire
consisted of nearly 100000 feet, the
bulk of which was low grade stock.
This loss amounted to about $4,000
and the loss on shingles and lath
amounting to $4,000 and may exceed
that amount, all covered by insurance.
The figures are given out by the COM
