One of the most important real
estate deals which have been consum-
ated in this county in many days was
closed last week when the Blank Bros,
Edward and Emil, purchased the
splendid form north of this city belong
ing to Mr.. and Mrs. f. Huntington.
The farm contains about half section
and is quite well improved. We did
not learn the exact figures but are told
that it was about fifty dollars per acre.
A letter from John Seedhouse, who
is now located at Lac Ste Anne Alta,
Canada, brings the information That he
and his family are all well and are
enjoying the life in Canada very much
and all are very much pleased with
the country SO far. John inquiries as
to why heis not receiving the Reporter
and Farmer regularly and admits that
at times they all become little lone
some for Day county and Day county
friends and that the Reporter and
Farmer drives away the blues,
Elmer Hutchinson, one of our pros
porous farmers in the northern part of
the county, on Tuesday morning sur
prised his family by driving his big
Chalmers-D Detroit car up in front of the
home door and asking them all to get
ready at once for they were to start as
soon as possible for the Minnesota state
fair. There was hurrying to and fro
for few minutes and the family was
soon on the road bound for the Twin
Cities and the good time they knew
was in store for them.
Herman Prieb has finished his thresh-
ing on his farm. The reporter stopped
him and asked him what the
returns of the threshing machine
showed his crop to be. Mr.. Prieb said,
'1'm not one of these fellows who in
the spring when you see them, have
just finished blowing couple of hum
bred acres, and when you ask them in
the fall how their crop turned out,
they say they have just finished thresh-
ing one hundred acres and have sold so
many bushels. | got about fourteen
to sixteen bushel to the acre"
Nearly every year there is car
shortage in this section of the country
when the time comes for the moving of
the crop and this has always been true.
We had expected that when the Mil
waukee established through line that
conditions would improve, but the
opposite seems to be the facts. The
company does not seem to begin to
have sufficient cars to handle its
immense traffic. Already last week
the first car shortage in this section
was reported and that from Lily.where
every elevator was said to be full and
no cars in sight and the agent would
not promise when the cars would come.
The Egeland- Harris land agency in
this city is feeling very good over the
reports they receive from the prosper
ity being enjoyed by James Hamilton
with whom they traded and sold bunch
of California land for Day county real
estate. During the last season Mr..
Hamilton has harvested 1--WE do not
know as we are technically correct in
the term used over six tons of peaches,
and in addition to them has sold many
thousand pounds of grapes and raisins:
Mr.. Hamilton estimates that his first
years crop netted him over $4,000. The
many friends of the Hamiltons in Day
county will be glad to learn of their
continued prosperity. If hard work
and careful management will succeed,
the Hamilton boys will PULL out to the
good in any country.
