Accident at New Bank

. s-
Friday morning shortly after 8
O'Clock, almost immediately after they
had resumed their work plastering the
new Citizens State Bank building, the
scaffold on which Louis Sandau and
Joseph Wolf wers working gave way
and they we're precipitated to the hard
cement floor, q distance Of fifteen feet.
FoIsunately no one happened TO Be
.urder the scaffuld when it collapsed.
Some of the workmen who we're em-
ployed in other parts of the building.
,immed lately came TO the rescue OF the
injured men and rextrickted them from
the MAS Of broken timber which had
fallen about and on top of them. A
doctor was called who made cursory
examination to satisfy himself that
there were no bones broken and then
had the men taken home. Sandsu and
Wolf were severely shaken up and are
badly bruised. Both are in bed and
are doing nicely but it will be fully ten
days before they will beup and around
again. Their Christmas will not be
quite so enjoyable as they had antici-
pated, but New Years will, without
doubt, look brighter than ever to them.

A Chance TO Show Appreciation

Redwood Falls may be minus a
band if the citizens OF that town
don't get busy at once and show the
band boys that they appreciate their
efforts, and are willing to aid them
in financial way. The only money
that has been divided among the
band boys the past year was that
which they received for playing on
the Fourth of July and at Fair time.
A band stand was erected during the
wear and the band has been giving
a series of concerts during the sum-
mer. There is still an indebtedness
on the grand stand of $142. About
two weeks ago the band gave a con-
cert to raise funds to buy new in
struments. The concert had been
literally advertised but only thirty
enthusiasts showed up at the concert.
This the boys considered a direct
Slap inasmuch as they were asking
only Is cents admission. They have
decided to disband, unless the citizens
get busy at once and prove to the
bows that their services are really
wanted. New Ulm is not quite so
appreciative of the Second Regiment
band as it should be, but we have
never been guilty of such shabby
treatment of our musical organiza-
ton. An opportunity will present it
self to US to show our appreciation
of the good work done by our band
at the annual concert which will be
given at Turner Hall January 4th.

New Building & Loan Assn

Redwood Falls has under consider.
alton the organization Of Building
g. Loan Association. At a recent
meeting held in that city William
Pfaender, Jr., Secretary OF the Local
Society was present and gave the
business men a good talk on the
workings of building and loan asso-
Citations. In writing up the meeting
the Redwood Falls Gazette has this
to saw about our townsman:
Mr.. Pfaender has assisted IN the
establishment of many OF these or
ganizations and has been affiliated as
Secretary with the New Ulm Build
ing and Loan Association for the past
twenty-three years. His wide scope
of experience along this line enabled
him to give advice that even to the
minutest details can positively be re-
lied upon.
The organizing of such associa-
tions Mr.. Pfaender stated, is becom-
ing more popular each year and sew
eral towns in our neighborhood are
preparing to organize. The organl-
zation at Tracy, which he helped to
start three years ago, is f1ourishing
nicely; Wabasso has had one for a
number of years that has proven a
great success. "You simply can't go
wrong if the organization is proper
ly formed" is the way Mr.. Pfaender
puts it.

il not the principal crop, in every
county in the state. II has already
been brought to maturity in Roseau
County on the Canadian border. The
farther north they are grown, the
harder do the hardy varieties be-
come. "A decade ago few believed
that corn would ever mature in the
Red River Valley. This year some
Of the best crops in the state are re-
ported from there. To anticipate
that corn viii Intimately mature to
the states norths1nmost borders is
warranted by th6 past history Of
corn growing il Minnesota, and by
present prospects.
The following table indicates the
rapid strides that the production OF
corn is making in Minnesota. The
estimates for 1910, 1911 and 1912 are
from the reports sof the United States
Agricultural Development. Those for
1918 are made by Mr.. Sherman:
New Ulm review., 1913-12-24

County, sixty miles north OF st. Paul.
A weld of 1875 bushels to the acre,
from field of forty acres, is re-
ported from Faribault County.
The extension Of Minnesota's corn
area has been rapid. Forty years
ago practically no corn was grown in
the state. The farmer in southern
county who could point to three
acre patch of matured old Indian
flint corn thought it a remarkable
achievement. The yield of corn per
acre in the same section Of Mime
sofa in 1913 exceeded that of the
recognized corn states of Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.
The quality of Minnesota corn is
superior. AS a result of climatic
conditions the same varieties here
contain a greater percentage OF nu-
triment than when grown in states
further south. Minnesota corn IS
freer from insect pests.
While many Of the varieties OF
corn grown here are those common to
the corn growing states which have
DcCOIIle dCClliHdCCu, AAAiiSooss~
cess in raising corn is due largely
to the development by the Minnesota
College of Agriculture, and Mime
sofa seedsmen, Of varieties especially
suitable to northern latitude. OF
these perhaps Minnesota 13 is first
in Importance. 1t is a yellow dent
corn, rich in nutriment and generous
in yield.
Minnesota %, first grown by a
Polk County farmer, and later de-
veloped by selection and experiment
tation by the Agricultural College
experts, is relied upon to mature
without fail in the more vigorous
climate of the North and Northwest
section of the state. Northwestern
Dent, an old standard variety fully
acclimated by Northrup, King & Co.,
is grown successfully in the same
section. Other varities developed in
Minnesota are the Rustler and Sterl-
ing White Dent.
The rapid extension of Minnesota's
corn area northward warrants the
conclusion that the time is not far
distant when corn will be a staple.

exception Of the debate which had to
be omitted owing to illness of some OF

and the Original Story, "Neil's

third point. This left the count in

New Ulm review., 1913-12-24

Fred D. Sherman, Commissioner Of
Immigration, estimates that the corn
crop of Minnesota from 1913 will
amount to over 100000 bushels.
The average yield was AZ bushels to
the acre. About 2,43s,O00 acres were
planted to corn. Mr.. Sherman bases
his estimate on information secured
at frst-hand from every county in
the state, which he has every reason
to believe reliable. In securing crop
reports from his correspondents he
warned them against being too opti-
mistic. "Please do not make your
estimates too high" he wrote them,
"Remember I am not asking for the
biggest yield or the smallest yield
in your county, but for your estimate
of what the average for the whole
county will be-"
All counties reported, and from the
county reports the state average OF
AZ bushels to the acre was struck.
The estimate of acreage planted to
corn is based on the official reports
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, the annual percentage
of acreage in past years being ap-
piled. The exact figures for acreage
thus arrived at are 2,438,666. Ap--
plying to these the average yield Of
AZ bushels to the acre, we have as
Minnesota's 1913 corn crop 1O2, 423,-
972 bushels. The yield Of corn in
1918 will thus exceed the yield of
wheat by probably over 2O,0O0,OO0
bushels.
At current market price the value
of Minnesota's corn crop would ex-
ceed $7O,OOO,O0O. The crop, however,
is one that is not marketed to any
great extent in this state. It is fed
to hogs and other stock. An ex-
tremely conservative estimate of its
farm value would be $50,000,00O.
While the bulk Of Minnesota's corn
crop is still grown in Southern and
Central Minnesota, the corn belt is
rapidly extending to the north and
northwest. Fully matured and heavy
crops are reported from the Red
River Valley country. The prize corn
exhibited at the Minnesota State
Fair this year was grown in Pine
