Farmers Make Money
Cleaning Their Wheat

Here's one farmers experience
IN getting a bigger profit on his
wheat. He took a sample to the
elevators. He was told it graded
between No 3 and No. 4, while
another thought his grain might
grade No. 3. He was not salts
fed so he cleaned up a load Of AZ
bushels and got seven bushels of
weed seed and shrunken seed.
The cleaned grain graded No. |
Northern and the price was is
cents per bushel more than he
would have received for No. 4.
He obtained S6.4O for his labor
and the extra seven bushels of
fine hog feed. 1t paid him as it
will pay any farmer.
This cleaning should be done
at home or at the elevator, then
the grades that go into the ter
minal markets will be higher,
and the higher the grade Of any.

Trail Cutoff

Aberdeen, Mar. 2S.- Selected
and authorized by the CONNER
cial club to represent Aberdeen
H. O. Cooley, general agent of
the Yellowstone Trail association
left last night for Watertown to
attend the road meeting there
today.
j. w. Parmley, of Ipswich,
president of the Yellowstone
Trail association, accompanied
Mr.. Cooley.
There is a movement under
way to build a road leaving the
Yellowstone trail at Granite
Fails running through Water
town and back onto the Trail at
Aberdeen.
1t seems the original plan of
those agltatlng the movement
was to apply to the Yellowstone
Trail association for change Of
route. 1t has now developed in
to a move for an independent
road.
The policy of the Yellowstone
Trail has always been to discour-
age and to use organized effort to
prevent any branch leaving at
some point and then running
wack to the Trail said Mr.. Cool
ey upon his departure for Water
town.
Nothing is gained by it and
it has weakening Influence on

Lennon Farmers In
Prosperous Condition

C.. A. Bennett, Of the First
State Bank of Lennon, stated to
the Herald today that never be-
fore were the farmers of this
section in better financial condl-
tion than they are at the present
time. He stated that money was
plentiful all through the section
and that prospects were very
good for increased prosperity
during the coming year.
On Of the best evidences Of the
cash in the hands Of the farmers
IS the fact that all farm sales
held this winter have been well
attended and the goods have
been sold at good price. Seven
ty per cent of the stuff is bought
for cash at these auctions.
This great supply Of cash in
the hands Of farmers of the sec
tion is due in part to the high
prices of products and to the
fact that the greater portion Of
the farmers of the section are
raising hogs, cattle and other
live stock.
