ington items has been away 50
| much this summer that this col
umn has not been written, but we
hope to do better now.
Burlington surely has been so busy
all summer long that it has had little
time to talk about it. The late spring,
and then the early haying and harvest
just kept the farmers on the move, to
say nothing about that thousand acres
of potatoes and as much corn to cult
vate. We surely will make out show
ing in that Corn and Potato Show
that is to be held in Minot soon.
Just now the hammers and saws are
busy at the big potato warehouse and
pit at the west end of Main street.
This will be fine storehouse for seed,
holding $4,000 bushels in eight sep
arate bins. 1t will be filled from the
top, as it was built into a side hill,
and the driveway will be above it..
The floor is built on the slant so the
spuds will move themselves in and
out again.
This year marks the beginning of a
new crop for Burlington that is sure
to win. Contractor Paul Peterson and
crew are building the warehouse and
James Casteel and crew dug the pit
while John Werner, Einar Madison and
a few others did the experimenting. !"
John Perlicheck is mining big and
fast as usual and claims he will run an
entrance right into the potato ware
house and mine spuds, too, thru the
winter months. (His coal mine is To-
Gated in the same hill) Joe Jacob
son, too, says he will have a tunnel
to it from his barn that is located just
across the street Look out, boys!
