Larson Tons Market

Five steers which which were fat
tened on ensilage and soft corn
brought the best figures last week
ever paid for steers in the South ST.
Paul live stock markets. The man
who sold the steers was A. J. Larson,
of Dawson, thirty-five miles south of
Morris. The price paid was $1O.25
per hundred.
Beside the five steers Mr.. Larson
disposed of eighteen fat steers, aver
aging 1,346 pounds, for 1910 per
hundred. The consignment was made
up of Shorthorn and Hereford cattle
which he purchased at Sisseton last
November. The cost was 5000 per
hundred. EnsiIage and soft corn
made up the feed for the stock the
greater part of the time. Two weeks
before bringing the steers to market
they were fed on old corn. Ensilage
was given twice a day and soft corn
once.
Among others from nearer home
who sold cattle at South St. Paul last
week was Mike Heating, of Hancock,
and Fred Andert, of Alberta. Mr..
Heating duplicated the price paid Lar
son while Andert came within a frac-
ton. Mr.. Andert was in Morris Sat-
urday afternoon and while here stated
the record prices at the market had
been shattered. Several steers from
the university farm school were
brought out Friday and the Swift buy
ers took them at $11.5O per hundred.
Mr.. Andert thinks this price is liable
to stand for long time unless the ex-
egencies of war boosts the prices tc

The village of Zahl in Williams
county, N. D., named after Morris
man, is soon to have a railroad, the
news Of which has brought great ex-
element and speculation to it's citi-
zens. D. N. Tillman, of Willmar,
who has charge of townsites on the
Great Northern extensions, announces
that the company is about to extend
it's rails from Wildrose to the Montana
line, bringing the road into five
towns Of which Zahl is expected to
become the largest. Already many
prospectors have toured the territory
and lot sales were held Tuesday and
Wednesday this week. AS each one
locates he puts up a sign regarding
the business he will open in order
to let the fellow who comes after
know how many have located before
him.

Loafers to Miss Old Friend

The T. B. Walker property on Hen
nepin avenue at 9Th and 9th streets,
Minneapolis. will no longer house the
Walker family and at the same time
furnish park or resting place for the
idler. The property has been sold and
a sky-scraper office building will be
erected on the corner. The Walkers
have purchased the Thomas Lowry re-
sidence and will move there soon af-
ter a residence on the old homestead
dating back forty years.
Some years ago Mr.. Walker shocked
the millionaires of Minneapolis with
his announcement that he would place
park chairs on his lawn for the free
use of anyone who wished to rest
there. For years, during the summer
months especially, idlers have put the
chairs to constant use. The city has
had more or less trouble but Mr..
Walker wouldn't change bis plans.
Resting places in the down towr
districts of Minneapolis are scarce anc
the one in question will be greatly
missed by many frequenters.

BUGS BEGIN RAID;
AMMUNITION Low
Chances for High-priced Po'
tatoes Seen Today as Bugs
Commence Battle

General Potato Bug and his army of
winged raiders have invaded Stevens
county and the advance guard have
already attacked back yard gardens in
Morris. The defenders are shy on
ammunition-not the kind that is be-
ing used by European troops to let the
sunlight through the bodies of enc
mics, but the ammunition that is sup
posed to result in the sudden and COM
plete passing of the potato bug when
it is directed at him. So far the sup
ply has been ample and the casualty
list enormous but it is feared the
bugs will have the advantage in the
maneuvere. From all parts of the
county come reports that the invading
army is larger and more hungry than
for many years past. They also seem
to be better trained and the news
that paris green is a scarcity and
will grow still scarcer has led Mr..
Bug to bring his whole Rooseveltian
family.
Paris green which does not come
from Paris at all, but which is a
product chiefly of England, Sweden
and Norway, is scarcely obtainable
according to local dealers. Today there
is said to be less than 1900 pounds
of the product in the hands of the i'm
porters and wholesalers, and the hold
ers demand from 81 to so cents per
pound for it. Morris merchants had
a supply on hand since last year but
the supply will soon run short, prob
ably before the present generation of
potato bugs are exterminated here
abouts.
1t is impossible to make the Green
here because of the raise in price
of blue vitriol White arsenic is
now costing 20 to Is cents a pound
as against 3 and last year, local
druggists say. Insecticide manu-
facturers, unable to predict how high
the price of blue vitriol will go, have
decided to diminish their paris green
output. The professors at the uni
versity farm school at Hamline real
lied the situation some weeks ago and
Immediately set about to discover a
substitute for paris green. Reports
from the school this week indicate
they have succeeded.
The blue vitriol shortage is also
seriously felt in the paint trade. 1t
