maid the workmen who were employed

-Ex- Governor McGill having recent
visited Murray county and Its fair,
has this to say of the garden belt Of
Minnesota:
"It Is one of the very best portions Of
the state, with good water, good Sol!
and good climate. Why people rushed
by it as they did few years ago to set
tie on the prairies of South Dakota ii
would be hard to explain. The crops
are fairly good all through Southwest
Minnesota, and what is equally lmpor-
tant, the market for all farm products ls
exceptionally goood this year. Murray ray
county has raised close to, i,OOO,oOG
bushels of wheat, big crop OF flax, and
good crops of corn, oats, etc.. This is
comparatively new county, mlnd you;
has been settled mostly since 1870: l
was particularly struck with the tine
strains of live stock in the county. Ii
beats all how the extreme southwestern
part of the state has forged ahead dur
ing the last five years."
And she will continue to forge ahead.
No better or more congenial climate can
be found in all the country than right
down here in this neck O. wood.
