sideration. Previous to that time the
land was considered chiefly valuable
for the timber upon it. Vast tracts,
too. were kept off the market in the
hands of the railroad companies. But
now that these lands are sold and the
lumber interests have moved to the
north, the agricultural possibilities have
begun to be noticed. The one great
advantage Of this country in growing
it's first great claim to fame. Added
to this we find one Of the finest loca-
tions in the United States for markets..
These two advantages alone, and there
are others, are enough to make north
eastern Minnesota lands in time some
of the most valuable agricultural lands
in the United States.
Kanabec county is located about
midway in northeastern Minnesota be-
tween the cities of st. Paul and Min
neapolis on the south and Duluth and
Superior on the north, the four great
markets of the north. 1t is well trav-
ersed with railroads, and It is only a
few hours ride to any Of the four
great markets. The timber in Kama
bee county has been mostly hardwood,
such as maple, ash, oak and the like,
and wherever such timber is found it
can be taken as almost an infallible
rule that the soil is Of an excellent
quality.
The soil in this section of coun-
try is peculiar in that it is
mostly glacial drift, very fine and al
most powdery in texture, and of the
same character for many feet down.
Such a soil can resist drought, as we'll
as too much water, better than any
other character of soil. But drought
is an unheard-of thing in northeastern
Minnesota, the thousands of lakes and
streams testifying to this fact.
Thriving towns and prosperous
farms testify to this situation
