erasshoppers Are Feared.

Redwood Falls.--It is feared in this
part of the state that there will be
much evidence of grasshoppers in the
coming season. The anxiety is general
and is based upon the experiments of
seed corn by the farmers, who in fill
ing a box with soil and kernels of the
corn, and keeping it in the house to
determine its terminating quality, find
that the soil contains many grasshop-
pers' eggs that hatch when exposed to
the warm temperature Of the house.

UNITE IN BUYING
Merchants and Farmers of Fairmont
Adopt Cooperative Plan.

Fairmont.-Busihes and profession
al men of Fairmont have forme.i CO.
operative exchange for the purpose of
handling under one management but
ter, eggs, cream and all kinds of farm
produce.
The new plan is working ouy ad
mirably and after being in operation
two weeks practically all opposition
to it has been withdrawn. Farmers
are patronizing it literally and IRE
enthusiastic over it's future.
Under the system none of the NOR,
chants belonging to the company, and
who formerly did a big business in
lowed to handle these commodities
either directly or indirectly, under a
penalty of $50 fine, although they still
share in the business resulting from
the exchange of farm produce.
The farmer brings in his products
payment, gives him one of the COM
pany's checks for the amount due, and
the holder can go wherever he chooses
and purchase his goods.
The company has a coinage of
aluminium money, so that a customer
not wishing to trade out the whole
amount of his check in one place or
at one time, can get his change in the
equivalent of real money and that
money is good in turn at the place
of business of any other member of
the company. ...
The system is calculated to make a
better and larger market for farm
produce of all kinds, centraliZing the
business and dealing in large quanti-
ties. There are twelve stockholders in
the company, of which B. w. Schon-
weller is president, w. H. Cox, treasur-
er and w. c. Moulton, secretary.
