FOLLOWING GREELEY’S ADVICE.

Large Number of Jasper County Farmers Will Go West Next Spring. The indications now are that there will be another big exodus of Jasper county farmers to tne northwest next spring. Quite a number have been out prospecting in the Dakotas during the past month and more will go this month. Some have bought there others have rented farms -for next year. Several of those who went out last week have not returned at this writing, but some of them, no doubt, will buy and remove there next spring. D. J. Harris, one of those who went out last week, returned home Monday, and he purchased a 160 acre farm 7% miles northwest of Larimore, where several Jasper county families are located. He says all are doing fine. Wheat in that section went from 12 to 26 bushels per acre, oats 45 to 60 bushels, and potatoes promise an excellent crop. While that is no corn country, Mr. Harris brought back some ears that show they can grow corn there, although of a different variety from that grown here, and it was ripe and solid. • Wm, and Lew Stover are located near Larimore. and the former has 60 acres of potatoes that he thinks will go 200 bushels to the acre. Lew has 40 acres that are better than William’s that he expects to yield 300 bushels to the acre. Wm. Stover had taken in $2,000 for threshing this season, and all his threshing crew were Hooslers. .Some of the party that went out’ with Mr. .Harris visited Bud Hammond, the big Hoosler mogul of Ransom county, No. Dak., and Bud continues to prosper and wax fat. He, also, has a threshing outfit and all his crew hut one are former Hooslers. There is lots of good old Hoosler blood In that section and It is coming to the front wonderfully. Mr. Harris Btopped over in Minneapolis to take in She Minnesota state fair, for a day, and thought it was a great show. He was much pleased with sections of Minnesota also, but did not like the water there. He expects to move to Larimore next March- "* 111l 11 Our new Fall Clothing, Hats and Furnishings are the finest and mdst complete line ever shown in town.
