A writer in the Russell Reformel
thinks it would be a calamity for Rus
sell people to build an alfalfa mill
The writer of the article goes on to
| say that where these mills have been
built there has been a falling off in
| the live stock interests. Towns that
before the establishment of the mills
shipped hundreds of fat cattle are
now shipping alfalfa hay and corn,
and these will ruin any country from
the standpoint of soil fertility" This
writer might also have said that the
alfalfa meal mills built in Norton, Be
lott, Mankato, Kirwin, Lebanon and
other towns in the Sixth district are
now idle, and have been for some
time some of them for several years.
The Russell Touring mills are be-
ing doubled their present capacity, or
500 barrels daily. in order to make
room for this years business.
