on a Northern Trip.
We took the Rock leland here
for Pipestone the 9TH and, the Morn
ing of sth left there for, Warren,
Marshall county and arrived there
morning Of 9th where we found
that they had but one rain this
spring, that the 18th of May. We
found it very dry and dusty, Sc bad
all spring that blowing was poor hut
good farming showed very plainly
there, as crops looked we'll on such
farms. Warren is a business town
of about 1900 and ships the most
grain of any town in the state Of
MINI. Ten elevators and large
-four mill, the country is fine and
thrifty. Prosperous people gener-
ally speking, surrounding the town.
H. L. Wood deals in farm machinery
and took great pains in showing
us the county around Warren with
his fine zig which was comfort to
ride in. The first place we went
to was my sons farm 2 miles out
but owing to having been entered
and dry weather this spring he can
not boast of much but wheat this
year. The second day Mr.. Wood
took us to northeast Warren
through a fine farming country and
great wheat fields and fax that were
beautiful to look at. We came back
into town from due north direction.
After dinner we were shown the
country south and west being past
Woodland farm to northwest of town
4 miles. This farm looks like small
town off at distance, 2 elevators to
put grain in as soon as threshed.
Twelve horse gang plows was
ummer following for next years
crop and other teams were haying
and men at other work; 2 gardeners
were at work in a fihegarden where
all kinds Of garden stuff looked
we'll. Everything was done in
order and showed good manage
ment. The farm consisted of ten
sections of land and they run 80
Deering binders to secure the
harvest. #..~
There we took the train for
Crookston. The lay of this town
is fine and would like to reside
there. A fine country around and
buildings both in country and town
are going up at a lively rate. The
court house is as fine a one as we
can SEQ in the state. ~ ~ s+S'i
From Crookston we left for
Osakis, Douglass county and looked
the country over and visited B. II.
Belknaps family over Sunday. We
found them we'll and doing we'll.
/ can't say ! fancy the country al.
tn ough there are good farms there
and good crops, corn and many
buildings going up through the
county.
On Monday we left for Staples,
Todd county. Around staples there
is some fine:.productive farms. We
went ~ miles out in Wadena county
to timber land I have there.
There I'VE found some improv-
ments going on. Many are looking
for his cheap land and a man with
means cannot help but make
a success, as there is every thing to
his advantage towards making a
living. ,-
There we found II. V. Millar busy
in the bee business, raising bees.
He owns about 1900 of these lands
also. He thinks that great place
for bees as clover and timothy do
we'll and corn shows up we'll.
Here we return to Staples take
our train for St. Cloud by way of
Pillager. As we passed through we
saw L. B. Bennett standing on the
platform looking well. Our next
stop was Brainard. This is some
what sandy country and a very
b usy railroad town with shops and
