Call For a County Live Stock Breed.
erS' ORGANIZATION,

There will be a meeting of all far
mers and breeders interested in Sc
curing better live stock in Kandi-
yohi county at the Exposition Hal
at the County Fair grounds, Thurs
day morning, Sept. 10Th, at 10 o.
clock We believe that such an or
ganization has in it the possibilities
for great good along live stock lines
The object Of this association vii
be two-fold. First, to introduce in
to the county and raise better quail
ity Of live stock. Second, to aid in
the distribution and sale of good
stock produced by county breeders.
Plans will be made for holding an
annual public sale Of pure bred stock
and for publishing a list Of all the
county breeders and the kind of
stock they are breeding and the kind
and number Of stock for sale. We
believe that money should ctme into
the county instead Of go;ng the othe-
way.
All breeders should attend this
meeting and should come with such
enthusiasm and inspiration that an
organization can be formed that will
put Kandiyohi county on the map as
leading county in the breeding of
high class stock.

A Letter From the South.
Centeryille. Miss Sent.

Centerville, Miss, Sept. 4.
Editor Willmar Tribune:
Would send a few lines to let you
know our doings in the copperhead
country. We have an easy time at
present. The truckfarming is all
done way for this year, except pep
per and sweet potatoes. At present
we are harvesting peanuts and they
seem to turn out good. The toma-
toes, beans, potatoes, etc., turned
out good here with good prices, but at
Crystal Springs they were less for
tunate, cold and rainy spring. Now
the second planting is done except
turnips, cabbage and grain, and the
time for that is in October and No.
vember. The time for digging and
shipping sweetpotatoes will soon
come in. Contemplating has COM
menced, with prospects for a half
crop. The boil weevil had a good
chance for multiplying this summer.
After two or three weeks the thresh-
ing Of peanuts, beans and peas will
commence. The greatest drawback
in this neighborhood has been to get
threshed; have had to wait to Janu-
airy and February, but we have now
purchased a machine for getting the
work done at one time.
l see Minnesota is a strong boiling
pot in politics this year, and it may
not be out Of the way. In this state
we are sailing in calm sea. We are
all satisfied in the thought that Gov
Wilson will have a good sailing tc
the presidency.
Had Mr.. Roosevelt got the Repub-
ican nomination, may be he would
have carried some Of the Southern
states. I heard good many demo
Gratis in favor Of him because he was
the first president stepping on the
Southern soil after the war; but they
do not like a bolter. In this state
We have no state ticket, except re-
representatives. for congress-, this year
We had the primary election Aug. "a
The present incumbent was defeated
They said it was not proper of {;
Prohibition state to have him there
longer; or else he is a good man.
Parts Of July and August we hat
much rain, but now We have sunny
days.
Hoping the great Republican state
of Minnesota will, in coming election
get out Of the clutches Of the powe]
Of the whiskey and saloon interests
| am respectfully,
