The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1938-02-17
PRICES USUALLY GOOD
AT SALES ALREADY
HELD; MANY BUYERS

One of the busiest farm auction
seasons in years will hit its peak
this week, judged by Gazette sale
advertisements and sale bills
handled in the job printing de-
partment.
Reports on sales recently adj
vertised here indicate owners may
expect fair prices for their pro-
perty. Milk cows, yearlings and
particularly feeding pigs, have
been bringing good prices. The
attendance at sales and the inter-
est shown has been unusually
good. Horses are selling for
slightly less than last year, how
ever, and the demand for horse
drawn farm machinery is describ-
ed by auctioneers as fair. Feed
naturally is bringing about mark
ct prices.
Certain to attract buyers from
the greatest distance of any held
here this year is the S. L. Park
sale of bred sows and gifts sched-
uled for Tuesday and advertised
in booklets mailed to the north
VESTS best breeders. Forty head
from the prize-winning Hamp-
shire herd will go on the auction
