prosperity and wealth is the deposits of
a community. We have grown a crop
in Walsh county during the past sea-

wealth than any crop ever grown in
the county. Tho wheat crop was bet

the flax was Il bumper crop with as
hIgh prices as ever ruled for So long
"a period. the same is true of the bar
ley crop. The oats. y {. corn. pota-
toes and timothy all showed good
Yields and the markets afforded a
splendid. price. The bulk of the crop
of 1911 has been marketed and paid
for although there is yet in the hands
of farmers a good percentage of grain
crops over and above what is being
held for seed.
Walsh county has nineteen banks
