Elevator Men Busy. 3

No. l. 1t is estimated that about $780,.
1000 bushels Of wheat have been mark
eted in McClusky this fall, of which
62 cars were shipped out in the month

N. P. Business Shows Big Increase.
If you were doing a business OF
$1,000 per month, we should say IL
was quite a big business. And every
body would agree with us. But the
IN. p. has that beat a mile. The busi
ness of this corporation at the local
station shows an increase of $4,000
for September, 1912, over the cores
bonding month of last year! Which
means that the company does the
most business at McClusky of any
station on the line, and that this here
town is the best town on the Turtle
Lake-Carrington branch barring o II
And it isn't a division point. either.
Agent Wentz, OF the Regain & Ly.
ness Elevator Co., reports shipping II
cars of wheat thus far this fall.
creamery--If Not, Why Not?
c. l.. Seibel, the local cream man.
one day recently shipped over one
thousand pounds of cream to a ST..
Paul commission house. The entire.
batch of cream all accumulated in one
day and was brought in by farmers
living in the vicinity of McClusky.
Mr.. Seibel paid out nearly a hundred
dollars for cream that day, and, while
this is an exceptional instance, it is
proof that we have the material
Tor a creamery here, and that we

The flax is not up to expectations
this year, according to reports from
all owe the county. In spite of the
favorable year for this crop it has
been very backward in growth and
maturing, and very little good flax
viii be harvested in this county this
fall. The reason for this is not plain,
although it may be that the seed has
been of poor quality and possibly in
Tested with wilt germs; also that the
ground has been in poor condition to
receive the seed when 1t was planted,
and that perhaps most Of it was pant
cd on Old ground.
