II planted my potatoes last year in
May, and had the best quality Of
tubers I ever raised" said an intel
ligent agriculturist to Cadillac N e VS.
reporter recently. This volunteer
statement emphasizes what this
paper has persistently advocated
that potatoes be planted as early as
corn Is planted in northern Mich,
igan. The late planting of potatoes
in northern Michigan has done much
to injure their market value in
recent years, and has also been dam
aging to the high reputation which
potatoes raised here have attained.

The favorable conditions which
have attended farming operations In
this State the past year have had
the effect OF turning the attention OF
many TO agriculture, 10 some Of liz
various branches, as an avocation.
The demand for farming lands has
grown rapidly, especially In the last
three or four months as shown by the
frequent letters received at this Of
ice inquiring 10 what section Of the
State cheap farm lands could be pur-
chased. The change In farm lands
from extreme depression in value,
with no purchasers at any prices, IL
one OF the hopeful signs of the times,
for It will be reflected In the increas-
ed value Of every farm In the State,
and restore a part at least of what
has been lost during the past ten
years.
In this section we wish to call at
tention of those who are interested In
agriculture, the many advantages
Michigan offers to the industrious
and enterprising. Her position is a
commanding one, and her facilities
for cheap and rapid transportation
by lake and rail are greater than
those enjoyed by any other State In
the Union. Every part Of the State
Is connected with the great markets
OF the country either by water OF
rail, or both, and the crops produced
within her borders can be sent to
the seaboard, or distributed over the
great West, at a minimum Of cost.
Besides this advantage, the great
iron, copper, salt and lumber indus.
tries, a part of her magnificent en-
downent, affords a great market fol
much of her agricultural products
Then her climate Is such that no

diversity In agricultural products.
Whatever branch OF agriculture q
man may wish to follow-grain OF
stock raising, fruit or vegetable
growing, or darying-he can find sol
and climatic conditions within heI
borders peculiarly adapted to his re
Quirements. And when products are
ready for market 1t will not require q
third or one-half OF them to get TIT
balance transported to the points
where they command the highes1
prices. ManV who left for the Wes'
during the past ten years have since
regretted 1t. A letter from Dako
ia farmer received a few days agt
said: II formerly lived In Lapee
County, and I wish we're there
now"
The above article from the MICH
IaAN FARMER should arrest the at
tention of every homeseeker in thu
state. This section has large area
of as good farming land as there II
in the Union, with all the advan
tages of the older sections, and tn

In litigation by the Shevlin- Carpenter
company, of Minneapolis, Appraiser
Mcclellan, of the auditors office, went
over the property and estimated that
there was 24O,O00 feet of standing pine.
Other estimates add to this from so 900
TO 100000 feet Of timber cut and skid
ded for removal.
Oct: Il, 1897, permit No. 1913 was
issued to Otis Staples to cut 24O, 900 feet
OF lumber, the amount given in the
appraisal. The appraiser valued the
timber at ~ per thousand, and the
stumpage was sold at $3.50. The ner
INIT expires June 1, 1899. The law saws
that where the timber on a given sec
ton Is estimated at less than 500 900
reet the whole amount Of the appraisal
value shall be paid into the state treas
ury, instead of only 25 per cent. as is
the case when the tract contains
heavier timber. The amount paid on
tnls contract was only 25 per cent. $12O
Mr.. Gardner says that he has good
reason to believe from his personal
knowledge Of the timber on the tract
ana what he learned from those who
were there during the cut, that there
was not less than 100000 feet of Ium-
Der cut on the section in question In
the winter of 1878
Mr.. Gardner says he called the at
tention Of State Auditor Dunn to the
section In question, and that Mr.. Dunn
wrote him that he did not bother to
go TO the tract, but that he would
look into the supposed violations of
the law.
The other section on which. in Mr.
Gardeners judgment, the law is being
violated is section 16, township Al
range IS, which Is right on the Eastern

Veteran saltwater Lumbermnn In
forms The Globe That Pine Is
Being Cut There in Direct Vio-
IatiOn of the Law-State School
Fund Probably Beaten Out of
s1,2OO,OOO.
The G o b is in receipt Of certain
information from a seemingly reliable
source, which seems to indicate that
certain lumbermen on the st. Croix
river and tributaries are cutting more
pine from state lands than they have
permits SO to cut
c. r. Gardner. Of Saltwater, former
ly surveyor general of logs and lumber
for years, is known to every one in
any way connected with the lumber
business in the st. Croix valley. and
according to his statements, the state
is likely to lose no inconsidera part
of the moneys which should go to the
school fund unless prompt measures
are taken to prevent the depletion of
the fund.
To The G o e yesterday Mr.. Gard
ner metioned two tracts of pine where
he had every reason to believe the law
was being violated, both school sec
tionS. One of these was section re-
township "A, range 10, in the town of
Kettle River, Pine county, not far from
the station known as Mansfield. on the
Eastern Minnesota.
The law providing for the sale of
stumping on state lands provides that
the purchaser shall, before cutting any
timber, notify the surveyor general of
the district in which the timber is.
This, Mr.. Gardner says, has not been
done. The law further says that the
permit to cut such timber must be
filed with the surveyor general. This.
Mr.. Gardner says, has not been done.
The law further says that logs cut
on state lands must be scaled on the
land. Mr.. Gardner says that the tim
Der cut from the land in question was
scaled at the landing on one of the
tributaries Of the st. CroiX He thinks
that the scaling was done in violation
Of the law in that the surveyor gem
eral has not sent any one to do the
work.
For time the scaling at the land
ing was done by a young man from
Saltwater, who had done some work
on the boom about that city, but after
he got through, a prominent StfIIWnter
estimator finished the work. The law
also provides that where stumping on
state lands is sold, the timber cut shall
be marked with certain log mark,
which shall be entered on the books
of the surveyor general Of logs and
lumber as the log n-brk of the state of
Minnesota. The bark mark put on the
first logs cut on this tract was
square and compass. S, two notches."
Later cuttings were blazed with the
mark known to lumbermen as IN hat
s."
The law provides thht the logs cut
on such state lands shall be marked on
the end with the letters Min" The
logs cut on this tract, Mr.. Gardner
says, were stamped on the end with
cross.
The G 10 b e yesterday made search
Of the records at the Office Of the state
