its corr and potato crops are rivaling
those of Ohio, Illinois and Iowa.
It's lumber forests in the northern
part of the state are very extensive
and it's iron mines in the northeastern
are the richest in the world.
About three-fourths of the state con-
sists of fine agricultural lands, while
about one-f fourth is included in the tim
Der and mining regions. Lands in the
agricultural sections are gently rolling,
except in the Red River valley, which
is level. The soil is almost universally
good. The climate is healthful, and
not too severe for the raising of diversi-
fed crops.
Dairy Farming. ~,@,
The soil is of deep, rich, black loan

lakes and streams scattered all over the
state, making Minnesota the most nat

they are not and are willing to unload
