MINNESOTA TOWNS ASK
FOR. MILITARY GUARDS
Numerous Requests for Protection Of
Elevators Made to State-Much
Seed Wheat In Storage.

st. Paul.-Numerous requests for
military guards to protect various
property, and especially grain eleva-
tors in small towns, which are being
made to state executives are attributed
by Lyndon A. Smith, attorney gen.
eral, to anxiety on the part of owners
following reports of incendiary fires
in Minneapolis elevators and indus,
trial plants and war demonstrations
in eastern cities.
Large quantities of seed wheat are
stored in country elevators and a gen.
eral fear seems to be that efforts
will be made to destroy it," Mr.. Smith
said. "The anxiety expressed in many
quarters appears genuine, whether
the real situation is such to demand
extra precautions in this direction"
Investigation by state inspectors
showed that in the case of the recent
fires in Minneapolis flames were COM
municated from one elevator to the
other, but failed to disclose the origin
of the first fire, R. w. Hargadine,
state fire marshal, announces.

To Increase Corn Production.

Madison.-Spring work in Lac qui
Parle county has been delayed be-
cause of soggy fields, but farmers in
this vicinity will increase their corn
acreage and seed less small grain
than before, with the possible excep-
ton of winter wheat. The fact that
many farmers are raising more stock
and that farm labor threatens to be
difficult to obtain are reasons cited
for the increased corn production.

The wild horses of Arabia will not

the wild horses of South America en-

the grays live the longest, and that
the roans come next in order. Blacks

Prices Encourage Farmers.

Fergus Falls.-The most encourag-
ing feature of the crop situation here
is that seeding will be finished un-
usually early. There was less snow
in the western part of the state than
the ground is dry and in good condi-
ton. The wheat acreage will be very
materially increased. Encouraged by
the high prices, farmers are putting
in available ground. Farmers are not
increasing their potato acreage. They
have few seed potatoes.
