ASPARAGUS WILL
GROW HERE

While the general climatic con-
ditions in the different parts Of
this Valley vary TO a considerable
degree, very little advantage of the
circumstance has been made, savs
that 1t Is known that certain
orchards give an average yield
each year while other orchards
less fayorably located bear less
frequently. Thermal belts do ex-
slst here, and by IA careful study
and numerous experiments the
Dangberg company has found that
a large tract OF their land on the
east side Of the Valley is particul-
arly adaped to fruit raising, since
late frosts do not occur in the thus
favored locality. This year they
planted some OF the ground to
potatoes and the crop was n
wonder. The main experiment,
however, WIS asparagus culture
and the result was most encourag-
ing. The plant matured and was
fuller that the product shipped N
from California, mus proving the
adaptibility OF the soil and climate
to asparagus raising. A new
field is thus opened and IN time
may prove TO be big thing To this
section. A sample OF The aspara-
gus is on display at the DaDgberg
office in Minden.

FRANK RICKEY
Tells OF WOOL

Frank Hickey, local buyer for
Eisemann Bros. wool buyers, writes
this paper from Boston that he
finds great deal of the last spring
clipp still in the warehouses. He
states that the manufacturers buy
very small lots of wool because hs
cannot sell much of the manu-
factured goods to the clothing
houses. The wholesale clothiers
are afraid to buy ahead OF their
orders for fear OF tariff regulations
on the same line of goods. If the
wholesale clothier was to have
large line of high priced goods on
hand and the same line of goods
was to be allowed to enter free or
with low duty the outcome is
easily arrived at. The price of
wool in the west next spring will
all depend on the demand from
the manufacturer; his orders will
depend of the demand from the
wholesale clothier, and their orders
will depend on what action
congress takes on the tariff qnes-
