FIFTEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART XIII 887 



Prairie Hay — None. 



Potatoes— A fair yield and about the usual acreage. 



Vegetables — Have done well. 



Apples — Hardly any. 



Other Fruits — Small berries were a good crop. 



Cattle — About the usual number and very high in price. 



Horses — Lower in price than last year. A good demand for horses of 

 the lighter grades on account of the war. 



Swine — About the usual number. Quite a little cholera in some parts 

 of the county. 



Sheep — Not many raised or handled here. 



Poultry — Healthy and prices are high for both poultry and eggs. 



Bees — Not many stands in the county. 



Drainage — Not as much tile put in as in some previous years. 



Other Industries — All complain of hard times and lack of money among 

 the people, due, it is claimed, to the European war. 



Lands — Range in price from $125 to $250 per acre. Not so many 

 sales as a year ago. 



Report of Fair — We tried to hold our fair on September 8th to 11th, in- 

 clusive but it rained so much that we closed up entirely on the third 

 day. Have paid all premiums in full so that we will be in debt to quite 

 an amount. We are planning for a bigger and better fair than ever 

 next year.
