enough Of their neighbors interested
to take out incorporation papers for
farmers elevator. When this was
done few of the farmers obligated
themselves to drive out in the country
adjacent to Kimball and get signers
enough to erect Farmers Elevator.
With much time spent and lots Of
hard work Sc farmers were induced
to sign for shares at 500 each. Then
some time in May or June a meeting
was called in the town hall of Kim
ball, officers elected and the Farmers
Cooperative Elevator of Kimball
came to life. Following this num-
Der of meetings were called and
practically everything pertaining to
the buying of grain and the building
of an elevator were discussed. Not
even site for an elevator could be
obtained along the railroad unless we
would build on the outskirts of town.
Other farmers elevators were visited,
number of trips made to Minneapo-
lis and finally it was decided to buy
the old elevator owned by the Atlantic
Elevator Company. This was a little
old shack which could hold about
10000 bushels and was built about
35 years ago. After paying $500
for this house manager wa secured

Z = ( f4fa II :
During the past summer l have
watched with interest the progress
and success Of the Farmers Co
operative elevator at the town Of
Kimball in the southeastern part OF
Stearns county. Early last spring
stock was sold to the farmers in the
neighborhood of Kimball for the pur-
pose Of raising money to be used IN
erecting a new elevator and carrying
on the business Of buying grain and
selling feed. In the fall of 1917 an
old line warehouse was purchased by
+he farmers of this neighborhood
which they found inadequate to handle
their increasing volume of business.
About a week ago the writer asked
the president of this farmers COM
nanv. j. j. Kurkel, to write a report
On business conducted by the elevator

mort which follows was received today
from Mr.. Kurkel and is given below

yet there has likely been practically
no freezing in the corn growing sec
ton of Minnesota sufficient to damage
seed corn. May we ask you to sup
plement the returns already made
reporting everything picked up until
October Is, as it would seem that all
corn in the corn growing section pick
ed previous to that date this year will
be sure to grow if properly cured.
In compiling the summary for your
county may we ask you to do so by
townships on the enclosed blanks.
Kindly furnish TWO sets of reports.
If you were fortunate in tabulating
assessors crop reports you will be
able to ascertain to a fair degree of
accuracy tn what extent each town
ship has selected seed sufficient to
supply its own needs, and the acreage
for which no seed is as yet reported
The above report on the seed corn
situation in Minnesota and our neigh
boring states is undoubtedly an &C
curate estimate of the seed corn at
hand. This makes it apparent why it
is especially important for farmers
of Central Minnesota and of Stearns
county to make an over selection of
seed corn this fall. There is no ques-
ton but what considerable seed of
desirable quality could still be obtain
ed from corn in shock throughout
Stearns county.
