Herman Voll, one of the trustees of

CANNING SEASON
CLOSES SATURDAY
The Frank Herfort Factory
Has a Very Successful
Year.

The Frank Herfort canning factory
closed the seasons work on Satur-
day of last week after year that has
been very successful, taking into con.
sideration the weather and other con-
ditions effecting the pea and corn
crops.
Over one million cans of peas and
corn have been put up at the plant
this season which is much larger than
the output of any foregoing season.
About five hundred thousand cans OF
peas were turned out which tigures
much larger than those of last year,
On whole all over the United States
the pea crop was the poorest this year
than has ever been experienced by the
Gamers and consequently il will be
difficult matter to secure Sc and the
price of it will take big ju,Alp. How
ever, the peas themselves, which were
taken from the vines, were in good
shape, but the harvest was checked
by heat and drought. Peas require
cool, damp weather in order to mature
properly. The local factory had much
larger acreage this year than ever be-
fore. The vines were heavy and look
ed healthy but they bore very little
fruit and on account of the heavy
vines it necessitated much extra work
at the factory in the line OF thresh-
ing,
The canned peas have all been IL
beled and the last of them will be
shipped this week. Carloads of them
have been sent to Washington, Penn
sylvanla, Texas, Nebraska, Illinois
and to various points I'M Wisconsin.
About five hundred and fifty thous-
and cans of corn were turned out this
season which compares very favorably
with the two hundred thousand OF
last year, however, this is partially
due to much larger acreage. The
corn this year was first class and there
was an enormous crop of it in this
section.
AS soon as the GINNING is over the
labelling and shipping of the corn
will take place.

but of no avail, and like always he
took most of his line along plus the
bobber. Now be swims up and down

Services.

In previous issue an item was
inserteds in which it was stated that
l.. A. Goddard of Baraboo was the
minister in Sauk county with the
longest continued service in single
church. A subscriber of The News at
North Freedom writes that Rev. w.
S. Argow of that village is the Usage"
among the ministers of the county.
He came to the German Baptist church
at North Freedom on April l, 1905,
and has served his church six and
one-ha!f years.
This paper was wrongly informed in

minister in the county who has still a
better record it will be pleasure TO
hear from him.

Wide Range in Value.

Mr.. Allen, one Of the experts, ex-
pressed the opinion that the plant
was valued at about $68,00O. From
the fact that there is no place on
record where such quarry has been
sold from one company TO another it
is hard 10 get at the valuation from
the company point of view. Mr..
Weldman, the state geologist, said the
land was worth something like $4,000
an acre. Congressman Hartman of
Pennsylvania said that he gave from
$4,000 to 500 an acre for the several
quarries that e wned.
When it came to lay another track

would be necessary to cross the Bara-

company now own the HoltZ land
which was purchased over two years

that the freight rate from Ableman
