OPINION OF 4 AINE FARMER.


We have before announced the ar
rival Of Mr.. Nelson Jordon, from
Maine, a practical farmer and a good
judge of land and of matters pertain
ing to agriculture. Mr.. "Jordon is en-
deavoring to secure a section of land
here with view to opening up first
class farm. We have had several in
terviews with him and we wish to give
his opinion, with his consent, of South
western Minnesota.
Mr.. Jordon has looked Minnesota
oyer, having spent some time along the
st. Paul and Pacific and gone as far
north as Red Lake. He says the coun-
try along the Northern Pacific is a fine
wheat country and fair stock coun-
try. But he thinks it a little too far
north. He has also visited the country
between here and the Northern Pacific,
and does not hesitate to pronounce the
western half of Mobiles county and a
portion of Rock the finest country he
has seen.
Mr.. Jordon thinks that his friends
in Maine would not believe the facts
concerning this beautiful country, if
stated without any exaggeration. For
instance, if he should tell them that.a
furrow could be run from Worthington
to Winnebago City, jumping the
streams only, they would not believe it.
Mr.. jordon is also of the opinion that
he can farm here, even in grasshopper
times, and make more than the farmers
in Maine are making where there are
no grasshoppers.
Mr.. .Jordon will engage mainly in stock
raising and probably will do a good
deal in horses. Our people extend a
warm welcome to all such men as Mr..
Jordon. What this county needs now
above all things is al influx of practi-
cal farmers with means enough to en-
gage in stock growing. With stock
they need have no fear of the grasshop-
per.
