not to growup without the ben
etits OF the school and beyond the in.
tiuence Of che church. Marshall coun.
ty possesses all the advantages that
a christian community can give.
There are 60 organized school dis.
tricts in the county and good sys-
TEN of common schools. The state
OF Minnesotais very liberal in provid-
ing for the education of her children.
Why move away to the remote fro~.
tier when good hone surrounded
oy all the a.aajuncts OF civilization can
~ procured so easily in the county
OF Marshall? And it must be borne
in mind also that we have timber
and plenty of good water.
WATER.
Good wells can generally be OBJ.
tanned at q depth OF from 8 to 16 it.
md artesian wells at from 100 to
200 it. Many artesian wells have
been sunk in different portions OF the
county and furnish an abundance OF
good pure wa ter.
RAILROADS.
The Great Northern railroad runs
through the western part OF the coun-
fy and 4 branch OF the same road ex-
tends in q northeasterly direction
from Crookston and is built to with
in dozen miles OF Excel In the east
I'm part OF the county. This line will
the near future be extended
through Excel northward. The
Northern Pacific comes very close to
che county and has branches point
ing this way. The Duluth, Red Lake
Falls & Northern is new road d.
rect from Duluth. This road is sur
veyed through Warren in q north
westerly direction. We have every
assurance that this road will he
built, perhaps in time to move next
seasons crop. Another branch OF
this road is surveyed through the
center OF the county. Thus it will be
seen that it is only question OF a
,ew years when this county will have
, perfect net work OF railroads to
AIRY the products OF our soil to
eastern markets. The Duluth & Win.
nipeg road which is finished as far as
to the Mississippi river will come
lose to the eastern boundary of the
county.
FARM PRODUCTS.
The most Important is the great
staple wheat, and we raise the cele
DRAFTED No. hard SO much sought
utter by eastern millers. 1t makes
the best flour in the world. The sea
son OF 1890 wasin some respects not
favorable for the growth of this cere
u yet it is safe to estimate the yielc
in this county at not less than II
million bushels. The average yielc
was not as high as in some former
years, yet many farms went above
% and even as high as 35 bushels tc
the acre. The writer has been in thu
! county nine years and during that
time there has never been a tota
allure. Oats and barley do equall,
IS we'll as wheat.
ROOT CROPS.
Root crops OF all kinds do remark
IDLY well. Potatoes always yielc
veil and are OF excellent quality, dry
nealy and pleasantly favored
Beets, turnips, carrots and the lik,
grow to immense proportions. Thi.
is the right kind Of soil for raising
sugar bcets.
FLAX
Flax has been tried and will grow
inely. With the establishment O
linen mills ut Minneapolis new in
iustry is being opened up for on
farmers.
CLIMATE
Our climate is one OF the most lie
il%httul in nature. 1t is high, dr.,
tnd snlubrious. The dry air, of
Minnesota winter exhilarates AM
ouiids up. The states of the COLI
temperate zone are healthier THAI
those in the warmer sections of tn
country. Cold is conducive t,
strength and vigor while heat debili
