DAIRY FARMING
BROUGHT PROSPERITY

r. p. HoSkyn has called the atten-
ton of the Gazette to story of "A
Thriving Butterfat Industry Built on
Wheat Failure" appearing in The
Country Gentleman of October 6.
The story tells of the change from
wheat growing to dairying after many
years of adversely in Steele County,
Minnesota, and of the prosperity that
came to the farmers as result of
the change. Mr.. Hoskyn was resi-
dent of that district and states that
the facts are correctly related in the
story.
For years following the Civil war
Steele county was "a great wheat
growing district. Then came the
chinch bug and its depredations
brought bankruptcy to many farmers
They were forced to shift to dairy
farming and today that county is
described as big ''butter manufac.
turing plant.
Dairying has made the county pros.
porous. During the period of della
ton there were no mortgage fOreclO-
sures against any of the established
farmers.
A banker in Steele county is quoted
as follows: 1.-THE credit situation is
good. A few farmers are borrowing
tc make needed improvements. They
can get money at 6 per cent. AS a
rule q farmer Is what you would call
"a good risk"
Coming back to CtGrogan county
1t is fact that a number of farmers
In the Nelson Chesaw country have
held their own financially during the
years of short crops resulting from
drouth. A few have made money
during those years. But the money
came from cream checks instead of
wheat.
Dairy farming has already proved
to be profitable in this part of the
county and should be increased.

READ THE HEADLINES.

1t Is frequently asserted that the
majority of people just read the head
lines of the newspapers, but such Is
not true of the Gazette readers.
Under the caption, "Once Upon q
Time. From the 1913 Gazette Files"
the Gazette has been publishing a few
paragraphs each week of the happen
ings of decade ago.
recently under that heading the
Gazette published an item announcing
plans for the construction of the Gov
ert block that for ten years has been
q credit to the corner of Central ave
nue. and Main street. Apparently all
OF our readers saw those lines, but q
few hundred of them failed to read
the heading and as a result Mr.. Covert
was questioned about his plans for
building by nearly everyone that came
tn the store.
Soon the mistaken report drifted to
the Gazette office and representa-
tive of the newspaper had joined the
caravan of interrOgatOrs when the
cause of the report was discovered.

NO SAVING MADE.

Though the legislature eliminated
the mill tax for primary highways and
cut appropriations so that through adj
ministrative economics the general
fund tax levy could be reduced from
2.25 to 1.75 mills preliminary reports
from many taxing districts of the
state indicate that great many local
boards raised their levies this year Sc
that the saving made by state officials
Is swallowed up in greater costs OF
local government.
To some extent the division OF
municipalities points out, the new
budget law may be responsible for a
slight tax increase. Heretofore, public
officials who could borrow from one
fund to make up deficiencies in an
other have been lax In preparing theif
annual budget; under the new law
they are responsible on their bonds
for mourning deficiencies or not liv-
ing within their budget allowances
Therefore. state officials believe that
In some communities local officials
may have taken the precautiOn to be
sure they started the year with plen-
~ of money to run them. Reports to
state officials show that in some cit
