Anent the Water Tower

In response to a petition, the city
commissioners held a special meeting
Monday evening to consider whether
they should have the water-toWer To-
Gated farther back from the street
than planned. Before any decision
was made, it was decided to make
trial excavations farther back and
ascertain definitely what kind of
foundations would be afforded After
digging down about II feet, it was
found that the bottom was nothing
but loose sand, that would be very
insecure foundation for such a
weight as it would have to sustain.
1t has been definitely decided to
go ahead with the erection of the
tower where the excavation for the
foundations has already been made,

FINDS THE OUTLOOK PROMISING
Member Of Pickle Company Visits
City and Speaks Very Favorably

Fred H. Peterson, of Green Bay,
a member of the firm Of d. j. Wittig
& Co., of that city, who propose to
put in pickle factory here if they
are assured of satisfactory acre
age the first year, was in the city
Wednesday and was given such en-
thusiastic encouragement by every
body with whom he came in contact
that he was very optimistic over the
outlook The company will be we'll
satisfied if it can secure a guarantee
o. 125 acres
Cucumbers are such paying crop
that it would seem that sufficient
acreage ought to be secured without
great deal of trouble. Speaking to
a representative of the Budget,
Mr.. Peterson said that on an acre
age Of 125 acres, the sum that would
be paid to the farmers on a very
conservative estimate, would be
$4,000 or more. He cited the returns
OF two Bruce men from less than a
quarter acre each, one of whom re-
ceived $50 and the other S5S.
There is considerable work in rails
ing cucumbers if they are given the
care that will insure the best crop,
but the returns are worth the labor.
The company does not advise any
one planting larger acreage than
they can properly care for.
The D. j. Wittig Co. pays for the
crop at the end of the season, or if
| desired, at any time during the re-
| ceiving season. They buy and fur
nish the seed to the farmers at
wholesale prices. We note from
one of their contracts that they
| pay as high as $1.10 hundred for
cucumbers that are not too large
