Mr. Pierson is accompanied by Mrs. Pierson, their daughter Miss Muriel Virginia Pierson and ‘‘Ssout” the famous Scenic Highway mascot who was presented to the Highway as the officinl mascot by Mayor J, R. Béggs and the citizens of Montrose, Towa. ‘‘Scout” has been with the car since puppyhood and seems to be the happiest member of the party in the prospects of getting out of this frosty climate. On its way to the Sunny South.and the scouting party will mndke stops in Grand Forks, N. D., Bemidji, Minne- 'apolis. Winona, LaCrosse, New Albin, Towa, Dubugque, Clinton, Muscatine, Burlington, Fort Madi- Ison, Keokuk, Quiney, Ill., Hannibal, Mo., St. Louis. Cape Glradeau, Mem- phis, Tenn., Vicksburg, Miss.,, St. Francisville, La.. and Baton Rouge. Ccmpletion of the trip of the Scout- Car to ‘Winnipeg tied Canada and the United States with a new knot, a road that it is expected by organization to eventually make a good road all the way from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. It is felt that this highway will prove to be one of the greatest north and sduth interna- tional roads inasmuch as it passes thru the heart of the richest and greatest valley in the world, the Mis- sissippi valley, serving approximately 10,000,000 people or a population greater than that contained in the entire Dominfon of Canada. The new route is said to be the hortest and best route connecting Winnipeg N Hig Davenport, ; be, INNORTHWEST - SREIS LS ‘ Cdfl‘: Promises a Bumper Crop © Which Is Practically Qut ‘of Frost Danger PRICES ARE NOT AS FAVORABLE AS YIELD Cattle Movements Lighter in September This Year Than | in Past Four Years St. Paul, Oct. 1.—Unexpected changes in business and agricltural conditions during September result- ed in conjectures of the wildest kind, as regardes future developments. The following report for the month, ‘1§~ ~ued By The Farmer, St. Paul, briefly summarizes agricultural and . eco- nomic conditions in the northwest.’ Small grain yields in the north: west (Minnesota, Montana, North and South Dakota) bested last year’s - crop by thirty-ive per cent, accord- ing to the latest estimates made by the Federal Reserve bank. The qual- ity of grain varies from fair to good. Corn_promises a bumper crop which is_practically all out of danger from frost.” Silos are full and seed corn has: been gathered in considerable quantities. Minnesota potato yields are generally fair, mid-summer drougth having a marked effect on keeping ylelds down. Clover respond- ed well in seed production, ylelds as high as six bushels per acre being reported.” Rains revived the pas- tures so as to supplement the good hay crop last summer and the filled silos in providing an abundance of feed for fall and winter. Grain prices appear less favorable than yields. Corn (December) slump- ed to 953 cents per bushel, on Sep- tember 23, making its first drop be- low the dollar level since June, 1917. Oats joined the sliding party to 537% cents a bushel, its lowest. quotation since September, 1917. ‘Wheat drop- ped 12 cents to $2.20% in Minnne- apolis on Friday, September 24, but g4an an active recovery reaching $2.644 the following Monday. Farmers have held their grain. >attle movements have been light- er by 15 to 20 per cent during Sep- tember than for the corresponding perfiod during the past four years. Fewer hogs by 20 per cent reached the market than in September of 1918 and 1919. The shecp run was about average. Hogs topped the Chicago market at $18 a hundred on September 18, this being their peak price for the year. The general decline beginning Sep- tember 22, started hogs downward, however, tops selling for from $16.26 to $17.50." Cattle and sheep botk showed a decline of from 50 cents to (Continued on Page 8) - with Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chicago, Davenport, Towa, Quincy, T1l., Han- nibal and St. Louis, Mo., and Mem- phis, Vicksburg, Mobile, Port Arthur, Galveston and New Orleans. It is interesting to note that the Scenic Highway officials claim that the road from St. Louis to Winni- peg following closely the shores of ‘the Mississippi river to northern Min- nesota then thru North Dakota and Manitoba along the banks of the Red River of the North, while being prac- tically an airline route is also the most scenic route in the central part of the United States.
