' | Itasca county, and Cohasset par- | ticularly, never had a better boost- {er than E. L. Buck, village presi- | dent, implement dealer, farmer and! |land dealer, and the Herald-Review | Teporter caught him in one of his 1 pont boosting moods. Tuesday. The reporter engaged him in con- ;} \iversetion relative to the welfare and | advancement of Cohasset | and the talk naturally turned to crop \‘conditions. Said Mr. Buck, taking ‘down several ears of white dent ; corn that hung on the wall of his | office, “these are samples of corn frepm my own fields, I am raising | two kinds, the white dent and the | yellow dent, the latter being the old reliable Iowa dent, and as far as can see, there is no difference in the two. I have two fields, fifteen acres to each field and the corn in both is now so far advanced there is no doubt it will mature. I have | estimated the yield at about eighty- | five bushels to the acre, but several experienced corn men who have ex- amined the fields state they will go 100 bushels. The stand is mag- | nificent, the stalks being nine to! ten feet high and it presents an im- | posing sight.” Warming up to his subject, he ro | cutting from my tame hay field. The first cutting I got 100 tons. and I ex- is no small item when one considers it is worth at least $16 per ton, and this is my own farms only that I am telling you about. Others around here report the same conditions. “Conservative estimates place the | oat crop at from thirty-five to forty bushels per acre and two of the fin- est wheat fields I ever saw are on the A. L. Lallibertie and James Mc- Mahon farms. It is estimated the wheat on these two fields will go better than thirty-five bushels. “The root crop will also be good. Now, mind you, the crops around Cohasset are no better than former years, but we have more and they are farming on a_ larger scale, clearing more land each year and raising a better grade of small grains. I just sold eighty acres fronting on the Mississippi river to A. L. Pierce, of Mason. City, Ia., who | will move up here this fall. This land adjoins that of Mr. Pierce's brother in law, George Goodell, near the Chas. Collenge place One of ithe finest farms in this vicinity is that of Fletcher Bros. on the river road, about five miles west, who came here from North Dakota, These men certainly know how to farm and how to make a farm pay. Co- is getting a very desirable class of farmers, men from Iowa and | the southern part of the state who |'thoroughly understand the value of tilling the soil and crop rotation, and in a few years this vicinity and the county in general will be noted for its agricultural products, for we can raise anything here that can be raised in the southern part of the state, only we can do it better.” In his gyrating about the village the reporter also mentioned crops to Cashier Skocdopole, of the First State bank and’ that gentleman said: “I cleared eight acres on my tract hasset acres of it to potatoes, nearly all {Carmen and I only wish that I had put in the whole piece, as I certain- ly have a fine crop.” said: “I am now making the second | | Dect nearly as much this time.

' During the evening Mrs. Stackhouse | presented each of the ladies with an! unhemmed apron, their gentlemen escorts being asked to finish the work, Harry Hines proved to be an! expert needle worker and he w: awarded the prize. One of the most novel features was when Mrs. Stack- house presented each of the guests with a sheet] of popular music and fect was ludicrous in the extreme. At the close of the evening’s en- joyment a dainty luncheon was serv- jed. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. M. Stapleton, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Fletcher, Misses Phoebe Smith, | Myrtle Voss, Muriel Stapleton, Goldie! | Bagette, Mildred Stockwell, Violet Voss, Myrtle Hursh, Misses Palmer and Swanson, of Duluth, and Messrs. Harry Hines, Benj. Hilliard, Jellison, Len McCracken, John Ol- son, Clarence Jellison and Rev. von 3tilli, WHEN THREE WISE When three wise men trouble is sure to follow and we think that was what caused the |facts: Wallace Fulton’s family horse was sick. Wm. Carter was called in and he and the owner didn’t agree, |so Dr. Dickie was sent for, but his {animal must have had some objec- tion 'to dying in North) Cohasset, for he broke away from the gentlemen |erossed the bridge and hied him- self to H. D. Wright’s chicken ranch where he calmly laid down and breathed his last. We havenjt it figured out why the horse chose that particular spot, but Mr. Carter says that Homer’s an at- tractive cuss. Mr. Carter made an examination after the death of the animal and he diagnosed the cause as old age. HUGH CONNELL DIED MONDAY MORNING Hugh Connell, who has made __ his; home with his daughter, Mrs. James McMahon, for some time, died Mon- day morning, aged ninety-six years City, Wis., Tuesday afternoon, inter- ment being made at the old home. |‘The deceased left four daughters und one son to mourn his loss.

George O’Brien went up the river i to camp Sunday, intending to re- turn the same day, but weather con- ditions made it impossible to return until the following day. Mrs. W. W.

Stack- house was the scene Thursday ev- ening of one of the most delightful social gatherings ever held in the village, when the M. E. church choir and a few friends were invited to spend the evening. The entertain- ment pastimes were decidedly musical from start to finish. One of the features was a musical stage coach. The hostess composed a short story, using as many musical terms as pos- sible and each one of the party, fail- ing to respond, in turn, when one was read had the alternative of giv- BY MRS.
