ing, and l think / hear some say
Yes and some times things not
worth telling" However the writ
er believes in giving good measure.
Besides the regular news notes we
try to give a report of the general
questions and interests prevailing at
the time Of that writing and this
little article will be partly sum-
mary of what has already been told
at different times thru out the year
of 1915, and will also deal with the
general progress of our industries
and of our city.
Considering first, our most import
ant class-the tillers OF the SOIL
we may truthfully say, that in spite
of nature, who has been most I'M
friendly by sending draught, frost,
weevels, grasshoppers, and finally an
exceptionally early winter, burying
a great number of acres of precious
sugar beets in snow-in spite OF all
this they have plodded right along
and owing to the fancy prices of
farm products, they have been pros
porous. Though nature yielded but
one half the usual amount OF wheat
yet the price of $1.75 per bushel
brings the scales down on prosper
ity's side
The alfalfa crops gave reasons for
complaint, but the lucky farmer
who raised an extra ton receives $40.
for that ton OF hay now. About 10
silos have been built and filled dur
ing the summer.
The beet crop has been about as
good as usual with the additional 81
per ton in price. For corn, potatoes
and all kinds of garden stuff, top
prices have been paid. Among the
prosperous farmers may be mention
