POTATO SHIP
PING MARKET
Farmers of New London and
Vicinity Will Establish a
Warehouse.

Anton M. Anderson and Samuel
H. Stauffer. two Of the progressive
young farmers of the north part of
the county, were in the city yester-
day on their way back from an in
vestigating trip thru the potato dis
tricts of Minnesota. whittier they
had gone at the instance of the
Farmers Elevator Company at New
London. 1t is proposed to put in a
potato warehouse at lew London
and thus establish a Skipping mar
ket for the tubers, and thereby en-
courage the farmers of that vicinity
to make a principal crop Of the po-
tatoes. The soil of that vicinity is
we'll adapted for the successful
growing of potatoes. and this move
will add an important source of
revenue to the farmers of those
parts. A meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the New London Farmers
Elevator company is being held to-
day, when it is expected that some
action will he taken in the matter.
The company will close deal for
the Cargill Bros elevator at the
New London station for their per-
manent grain house, and it is thot
probable that the old Neer elevator
will be acquired for a potato ware
house. The latter is most admir-
ably adapted for the latter purpose
as all the potatoes could be handled
by gravity.
In an interview with the Tribune
representative yesterday, MIR. An
derson gave very interesting ac-
count of the methods used in handl-
ing the potato crop in the potato
districts of Minnesota. The aver
age shipments from the station of
Princeton alone at this time of the
year reaches thirty cars a day. The
potatoes are handled in sacks of $50
pounds each. After being weighed
and sorted the potatoes are sacked
and skidded over smooth troughs or
runways to their proper place in
the warehouse. When loading, the
sacks are skidded in the same way
into the cars. The varieties are
kept separate, as mixed potatoes
are useless for shipping purposes.
1t therefore becomes necessary that
the growers raise uniform varities
so that the warehouse will be able
to ship whole cars of each variety.
One of the best markets for the no.
tatoes of Minnesota is the furnish
ing of seed to the southern states,
which it seems must have northern
grown potatoes for seed. A certain
variety grown for this special pur-
pose, known as the Triumph was
bringing IS cents per bushel to the
growers at Princeton on the day
that Mr.. Anderson was there, more
than twice the price paid for other
varieties. The New London ennis.
saries learned much regarding the
proper methods of planting, cult.
waiting and harvesting of the potato
crop, which they will pass on tt
their fellow farmers in that vicin,
ity, and no doubt potato growing
will be one of the subjects for most
earnest consideration at the farm
ers institute to be held at New
London in the middle of March.

ly after New Years, and spent about
three weeks visiting friends anc
old neighbors in the province o1
Ontario before going to the hospi.
tai at Fergus for the operation
The operation was more serious
than anticipated, and this fact,
coupled with the patients age and

May Make Cement Tile Here.

Nels Guam Of New London was
in the city Monday, having just re-
turned from concrete and cement
exposition at Chicago. While at
Chicago he purchased two machines
for his cement works at New Lon
don. One Of these will make ordi-
nary drain tile from cement by the
wholesale and the other will make
cement blocks at a more rapid rate
than those ordinarily made by hand
Mr. Guam looks for great demand
for drain tile next summer, and
may decide to place his tile ma
chine at Willmar to be nearer the
market for this indispensable ad.
junct to good drainage.
