Lake Crystal Union: The Man
kato papers will have as big a CAB
fest with Brewer, the chicken gin
Observation-Disclosures as they did
with Butch. It's all right boys. You
must have something to fill up on
besides bull moose diet or Taft
reciprocity or Wilson philosophy. 1t
gives the reader time to change his
shirt between breathing spells. The
number of chickens stolen by Brew
er and his three-fngered pal, in the
vicinity of this city as we stated be-
fore will amount to $4,000. Lucius
Moses lost in one night 81 worth of
old hens and other farmers more or
less in dollars and cents were rifled
OF half their fiocks. Herman Drager
bought the Brewer outfit, horses
wagon, coops and all of his effects
for $40. AS to the dogs they were dis
posed of to the police of this city.
Lake Crystal Union: Tom Nor
man has charge of receiving the
beets raised in this place and vi
cinity for the sugar refinery. The
wagon loads as they are brought in
are weighed on the Strunk Lumber
company scales and then hauled to
the car and unloaded. There il
quite a difference in the size of the
beets raised on different farms. But
the weight of load will average
two ton and little better. The aver
age per acre profit on beets would
be about $50. This is a better pay
ing proposition than either wheat,
corn or other grain raised. The
work is no greater in raising beets
than in raising grain. With the help
the company sends out and the work
the farmers put into the business d.
vides the labor SO that it is for the
producer about the same labor and
time spent in raising any other kind
OF grain on the farm. The company
has rented the Hubbard and Palmers
elevator in the city in which to take
care of the beets when brought in
for it will be some time along in
December before all the crop is ship
ped.
