TWENTY CENT APPLES

Prohibition is going to increase the
price Of apples this year, and already
they are selling as high as 2Oc each on
some OF the large city markets. CT
der is going to be in such great de.
mand that any kind OF an old apple is
going to be worth something.
While the fancy apples, polished
and wrapped in tissue paper and wide
ly advertised under an attractive
name brings zoe we do not believe il
means a proportionate increase for all
grades and kinds, nor in all markets
Here in Harrison We always expect
to be able to buy them for much less,
just as we can now But the 20c ap
pie only serves to show that a large
part of the American people win pay
any price for what they want, and that
this fastforming habit is dangerous
in that ii may lead TO other things be.
ing jumped in price. Prohibition,
blamed for many things, may be back
of the 2Oc apple, but whether the coun,
try is wet or dry, apples would not
sell at 2Oc each if people refused to
pay that price for them. So when
the regular apple season rolls around
the good housewife will do we'll to re,
member this. and turn down the first
attempt to boost prices on the ground
that the demand for cider has grown
that fast II is growing, all right, but
not as fast as the price of apples. And
she will also do well to remember that
when she is helping to keep down the
price of apples she is also aiding in
keeping down the price of peaches
and other fruit, for as a rule the other
fruits are governed largely by apple
prices.

on about their work blowing up the
land and giving those interested some
idea Of the merits Of each one, leav-
ing everybody free to form their own
judgment in the matter as to which is
the best tractor for the farm. Like
all other kinds Of machinery, just at
the time you want to show off your
machine some little thing went wrong
and delayed the exhibition but on the
whole the bunch got out and went
through a big bunch of blowing in
good shape. AS we are not much on
agricultural machinery we are not go
ing to speak Of the particular merits Of
any certain tractor, but will let it go
by saying that each and every one had
merits Of its own and those farmers
who saw the demonstration are very
able to draw their own conclusions
along these lines. The promoters Of
the scheme certainly worked hard to
make it success and from the large
number present Saturday afternoon
there was no doubt but what it was a
big success. The tractor is the COM
ing motive power for the farm and in
a few years there will not be farm
here but what has among its
a tractor. To those in
charge of the arrangement we say
they are entitled to, much credit for
the successful termination of this big
demonstration.

ELMER ELLIOT
PASSES AWAY

We have received the sad news Of
the passing away Of one Of Barnes
county's pioneer business men
and citizens, Elmer Elliott, Of SAN
born, whose death occurred on Thurs
day night about nine o'clock from
pneumonia. Mr.. Elliott on the Tues
day previous had made a long and
strenuous trip in the county on drain
age business being member Of that
board for Barnes county. He caught
cold, we are informed, on that day,
and this turned to pneumonia, result
ing in his death. Mr.. Elliott was born
in 1861 and his birthday falls on Dec.
25th. He was the father of six chill
dren, four Of whom have preceded him
to the great unknown. His widow and
one son and one daughter survive him.
Mr.. Elliott settled in western Barnes
county in the early eighties and went
into the hardware business with Mr..
Jaberg, under the firm name Of ia
berg & Elliott. Later on he bought
out Mr.. Jaberg and has since conduct
ed the business alone. He was a very
quiet, unassuming gentleman but
withal a man of very kindly and gen.
erous nature. He was we'll read on all
lines and was pleasing conversation
alist. Elmer Elliott was good cit
izen, upright and conscientious. He
was a member of the constitutional
convention from Barnes county and
was one of the solid men of that body,
which has the credit Of framing one
of the best constitutions among the
union of states. He has served his
town we'll in various capacities and his
death will be sincerely regretted by a
large number of warm personal
friends not only in Sanborn but in the
county where he is so we'll known. The
funeral will be held in the Congre-
gational church at Sanborn on Sun
day afternoon at o'clock. The edi-
tor Of this paper extends sympathy to
the bereayed family, who have only
recently-last Sunday-laid away the
son, Robert, who was accidentally
killed at Leavenworth, Wash, a few
days ago. Their cup Of sorrow is
surely running over.

STOCK CAN
Be PURCHASED

That good breeding ewes can be
purchased at from 81 to SIS per head
is the statement of DR.. Don Mcmahon
of the Extension Division of the North
Dakota Agricultural College, who re-
turned this week from trip to South
St. Paul, where he investigated the
sheep situation. DR.. Mcmahon left
Thursday night for Montana to make
a similar investigation.
Farmers considering small flock
have an exceptional opportunity to Sc
cure a start at an unusually low figure
this fall" said DR.. Mcmahon. "The
temporary decentralization of the wool
market has affected breeding eve
prices in a most disastrous manner.
Since the first of the month wool has
begun to move, and it becomes in
creasingly apparent that the market
for good grades of virgin wool cannot
be forced back to pre-war levels. The
market on breeding ewes, however, is
not very elastic and responds slowly
to conditions governing profitable
sheep production. The time is now
ripe to buy ewes.
"Ewes up to three years old in thrift
ty condition and of good confirmation
and quality are selling at Sc per hum
dredweight, weighing from 80 to 100
pounds. "Full-mouthed" ewes, from
four to six years of age, in fair con-
dition sell at from $3.50 to SIS per
cwt., and ewes of light type with a
sprinkling of broken mouths can be
purchased for $3.50 to 81 per cwt. For
feeder purposes, the last named are
the best buy. They can be fed for a
few months, then sorted, half of them
Kept for breeding stock, and the bal
ance marketed at profitable margin.
Similar Ewes to those now selling at
$3.50 to SIS per cwt. were finding ready

making purchases should be addressed
