is always ready to pay cash for NUT
ton, beef, veal, pork and other animal
products. Cattle, sheep and hogs are
in all parts of the Red River Valley.
1t has shown itself to be an extra good
live stock country. Many large herds
and flocks are raised in the different
parts and breeding stock is in great
demand. 1t is only after our farms will
be well stocked that the true value of
our lands will become known, and the
prices of land will remain low until the
time comes when cattle, hogs and sheep
will be found on all farms. And this is
just what impresses the average man
who looks over the situation. With

the western side is a gently undulat-

poplar groves, with now and then a

the lakes and along the water courses,

change in the general characteristics

Red River Valley are there lands

Soil
The soil, which is a deep alluvial
deposit, resembling the black loan of
the Red river valley, extending in
depth from nineteen to thirty-six
inches, and OVERLAPPING a deep subsoil
of clay, thus insuring a productivity
and fertility almost inexhaustible 1t

seen lower down in the valley, where
after rain it is often impossible to do
anything On the land for days, but it
is of porous and friable character,
which, owing to the abundance of the
annual and seasonable rainfall is far
more certain to produce a good crop
than the heavier and colder lands Of
the lower valley. The rainfall is
abundant ana seasonaDle as we'll as
certain. This is due to the nearness Of
the great watershed of the upper Mis-
Sissippi and its tributaries and Red
lake and the great water systems of
the Rainy Lake country. DroughtS

lack of sufficient water supply for the
whole country.
There are numerous lakes and small
streams containing the purest and
ing with fish of all kinds. These
streams and creeks traverse the coun-
ty, in this section in all directions. No
marshes, sloughs or alkah in this part
of Polk county. Wells are dug and

known as to scarcely need mention
The wheat grown in the valley is Of

raise corn, grain, corn fodder, hay,

just as well as corn can.
On almost every farm some vegeta-

bed all kinds of garden crops can be
grown very successfully. Celery is a
crop that is produced to the highest
perfection in the Red River Valley.
The soil and climate seem to be espe-

Live Stock
Live stock will be a necessity on our
farms in the future. A rotation of
crops will necessarily be introduced
Into this rotation grasses and forage

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM

Mrs. John Gerken, who beat the
George Goulds in the Lakewood horse
snow, carried away several prizes in
Philadelphia. The ribbons she had
tackled on the sides of the Gerkendale
stalls, much of the time she sat on a
bale of hay just below the ribbons,
cracking the brown heels of her
shapely shoes together and nibbling
straws plucked from the bale. When
ever new ribbon was won it was
added to the lot tackled up until she
had variegated background. On the
second day at the show she and Mr.
Gerken had luncheon in the club
house with Mr.. and Mrs. Reginald c.
Vanderbilt. Mrs Vanderbilt wore a
gown of dark blue satin foulard, dot
Ted In white. The skirt was plain.
The bodice had yoke of heavy yellow
Irish lace edged with dark blue. Over
this she wore long tan covered cloth
driving coat, made perfectly plain.
Mrs. Gerken was dressed in a skirt of
shepherds plaid in an invisible check,
loose box Elton coat and a white
blouse. She wore a small black straw
hat, covered with white crush roses
and green leaves and trimmed in front
with two white stiff wings.
If it were asked, What American
woman has the Anost gowns?" the an
swer naturally swould be the name of
one of New Yark's rich matrons. But
there is no wofTan who has a greater
variety Of gowns than Miss Rebecca
Darlington, of ,Pittsburg. Miss OAR
ington is engaged and is known as
the sis, 100000 heiress." When she
comes to New~-York she goes from
shop to shop distributing orders that
rejoice the hearts of milliners and
dressmakers. She can afford to be ex-
travagant, and her one hobby is frocks
and hats. Apparently she cares moth
ing for jewels. AT dances i'm Philadel-
phia she never has been known to
wear anything more striking than
string of small pearls.
