SPECIALIZED FARMING

The Bennington Banner is respon.
sble for the suggestion that with pc
cans selling at dollar a pound, sweet
potatoes at twelve and half cents
a pound and popcorn at twelve cents
O pound the way stands open for a
profitable producing business for Yer
mont farmers in raising these pro
ducts
To begin with, we haven't heard of
any successful northern plantations
OF pecans or sweet potatoes It may
be done; no one knows for certain
until Il is tried, but even if it were
done successfully it does not follow
that the farmer would actually net
the attractive prices quoted. In fact
his experience in marketing milk
would Indicate that in the end the
distributor gets the big end of the
profit
There is no objection to growing
popcorn, of course but one of the
reasons why Vermont is not big
corn.grow!ng state Is because of the
difficulty of maturing hard corn on
the average farm, If we ever get the
kuack of raising hard corn in guam
tity sufficient to provide winter grain
for our cattle and hogs it will prob.
ably be a bigger thing than raising
popcorn pecans or sweet potatoes,
The Banner is, however, eyerast
ingly right in advocating more native
apples on our semi-wasta or dormant
farm lands lands that can be bought
for prices as low as from S5 to ~,

Goth Anniversary Sioux
Indian Massacre at Hand
New Ulm to Have Celebration in
Memory of Event August,
16, IL, 18, 10, and 20

Sixty years ago. in the valley of the
Minnesota, the early settlers were as
busy as the farmers are today, har-
vesting their bountious crops, glad of
the bright clear summer weather
that prevailed and all unaware of the
great cloud of disaster forming be-
yond their sight and hidden by dis
lance. There had been, it is true,
rumblings of discomfort among the
natives of the land, the Red Men who
had been persuaded to give up their
valley to the whites, but in general
the Indians had been friendly and the
settlers saw no cause for worry,
knew Of nothing seriously wrong and
went about their tasks in che usual
way. But the trouble had been brew
ing for weeks and the silent children
of the forest and the plains. were pre-
pairing to give voice to their resent
ment of the wrongs done them by dis
honest government agents who had
cheated them out of their pay for
their surrender of their lands. Of
this the peaceful settlers knew moth
ing and when the morning dawned
bright and clear on the 18th Of Aug
ust, 1862, all was fair and beautiful
to look upon; birds were, singing in
the fields and the trees, little child
rem played about in innocent glee,
their parents going to their tasks
with equal unconcern when suddenly
out of clear sky came the thunder
clap that preceded the terrible storm
which was to shake their lives at the

very foundation. Messengers hurried
through the valley warning the set
lers that the Red Men had become
angered and had broken out into on
en- rebellion and massacred nearly all
the whites in and about the agencies
at Redwood and Yellow Medicine.
Under the leadership of their chief
Little Crow they proceeded down the
valley toward New Ulm and on the
dreadful day invaded the town of Mil
ford and massacred men, women and
children, to the number of eighty. On
the 10Th day of August they attacked
the town of New Ulm, killing sever
al of the citizens and burning a num-
Der OF buildings but did not carry the
barbados which had been hastily
thrown up. On the 23rd of August
they again attacked New Ulm and
beseiged it till noon of the oath. The
assault was very vigorously executed
and desperately resisted. One hun
dred eighty buildings were destroyed
in the contest, leaving of the town
such part only as lay within the bar
rieades. Of the defenders twenty
were killed and about sixty wounded.
On the 25th, of August the town was
evacuated and the inhabitants safely
conveyed to Mankato.
To commereate these stirring days
the citizens of New Ulm are arrang-
ing celebration and home coming
