BIGGEST CROP IN HISTORY
SuperIntendents of County Exhibits at
State Fair Express Opinions
Corn Is Still Doubtful.

Minneapolis. - Minnesota's small
grain crops are the best in history, ac-
cording to opinions expressed by the
superintendent of the various county
exhibits at the state fair. These men
radiate spirit of optimism. Mention
of crops brings a smile of huge pro-
portions to their faces. They fairly
beam prosperity on visitors to the
booths. There is a cordial invitation
to step in and see for ones self.
About corn they are not so certain
Give us two weeks of this weather
and we will make a splendid show
ing" is the general expression. Some
counties report that early frosts have
not damaged the corn while others
are not SO encouraging. 1t is generally
thought that with good weather there
will be a crop of 40 to 60 per cent
of normal.
If early threshing reports are an in
dication of what may be expected,
Minnesota wheat will make a record
worthy of tradition. Estimates of the
average bushels to the acre vary from
25 to 35 with some much higher for
small fields. On the farm of Albert
HOlstead, eight and half miles west
of Detroit, Mimi, a tract of wheat ran
so bushels to the acre while on anoth-
er large farm 81 bushels is reported.
In Marshall county 20 acres of wheat
averaged 42 bushels to the acre, 43
h,,c holc fo Sc fnI +Lo
farm of John Kuld of Red Lake Falls,
and it is asserted wheat will average
80 bushels in Red Lake county.

Julius A. Schmahl, Secretary of
State, and his staff of assistants, have
Just completed the work of card index
ing all of the licensed automobile ow-
ners in Minnesota. This index system
ls arranged by counties and each coun-
ty is sub-divided into the postoffice
addresses of the owners, under which
heading the names OF the owners are
arranged alphabetically.
There are, according to this system,
practically $4,000 automobiles in Min
nesota, and recent issue of the Wall
Street Journal states that the aver
age price of car is now $50, over
half of the cars produced selling for
less than $500. On the basis of the
Journal, the automobiles in Minnesota
are now valued at $S4,2S0,O00 while
the accessories and other appliances
will increase this amount materially.
In addition, the annual consumption of
gasoline and lubricating oil will run
into four or five millions of dollars.
The number of machines in each
county at the close of business on the
night of August 26th, when the index
ing was completed after four months
of work, is as follows:

Duluth.-At the first annual banquet
of the Single Tax league of Duluth,
Chairman w. F. McEwen, on motion
appointed committe on state or
ganization from the various congress
sional districts and a committee at

Tax Reform league.
G.. j. Buell. of ST. Paul, read a draft
of a code of principles in which the
present system of taxing improved
property more than unimproved was
denounced, and urging on the next
legislature the Importance of reducing
taxes on buildings and improvements
and all products of industry and let
ting the taxes fall more equally on
those who hold land for the rising
value that improvements and industry
create, thus become enriched through
the enterprise and thrift of other

with having murdered his aged and
bed-ridden mother-in-law, Mrs. Sig
ri Halderson of Christiana township,
on November %, 1914, by giving her
Paris green in her food The woman
had been paralyzed for many years.
Solem's arrest brought to climax
family dispute of long standing in
which the disposition of the real es-
tate of the dead woman had engen-
dered bitter feelings. Shortly before
her death Mrs. Halderson had exc
cuted a will in favor of Solem. This
caused a break between Mrs. Solem
and Mrs. Sigvart Holman, daughters
of Mrs. Halderson.
