Large Amount of Road Build.
ing Reported in Many
Counties

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 21.-Despite
reduced wheat crop and >unsatis-
factory prices for wool and for cattle,
the sunshine Of prosperity has not
neglected single county of Mime
sofa this summer. Tremendous sue
cess of diversified activities and ag-
gressive campaigns for road and mu-
nicipal improvements, are reflected in
the weekly survey Of conditions in
every section of the state, which was
prepared by the Merchants National
bank Of Saint Paul and the leading
banks of. Beltrami county.
The review, grouping counties into
congressional districts, covers agri-
cultural, commercial, industrial, civic,
rural and municipal activities. Out
l;standing features of the reports are
these.
Corn and oats, with scattering ex-
ceptions, were in splendid condition
on August II, when the report was
compiled. Wheat, which promised a
generous yield in June, was sharply
| reduced by drought or by rust. Most
of the counties indicated wheat would
not yield more than ten bushels to
the acre. !
Farmers throughout Minnesota are
holding their cattle for higher prices.
Wool raisers in many counties have
pooled their holdings and will store
the WOOL with the hope that the dead
market may come to life.
Farm labor was adequate in 30 per
cent of the counties but farmers op-
Grated with less help than they used
when labor was cheap. Southern
counties reported shortage of farm
labor. Wages averaged from SO to
70 cents an hour. Many farmers
helped support baseball teams.
Bank deposits, with few exceptions,
showed decrease and loans were very
heavy.
The Babcock good roads plan has
won general Endorsement. Automo-
bile travel on the main highways
broke all records and gasoline pur-
chases in small towns were from so
to 300 per cent greater than last
summer. Shortage of cement affect
ed road building.
Real estate and building activities
have been generally light, but a num-
Der of important farm transactions
were closed recently. Land brought
as high as $500 an acre.
Forest fires in the north caused
some damage. Wolves have been de-
structive here and there. Tramps
