The Cook County herald., 1905-09-30

At a county fair at Willmar the other
day J. J. Hill declared that Minnesotans
are the poorest farmers in the United
States and he gave statistics to prove
the assertion. That in spite of this con-
dition Minnesota has become famous as
"the bread and butter state" must be
due to her wonderful richness of soil
and wealth of resources. The pioneer
who bazed the trail northward to the
boundary line made it possible to show,
as has been shown, that this fertility OF
soil and wealth of resources are present
in still undeveloped portions of the
state.
The man with the plow follows in the
wake of the lumt erman and as the tim
ber is removed prosperous farming com.
munities spring up.

The day of the bonanza farm is pass
ing away. The soil having been worn
out by constant succession of wheat
crops, the great farms of the West are
being divided up into small farms and
sold off. And thus immense areas that
contributed little to the public welfare
are being transformed into communities
of farmers living comfortably from the
fruits of more thorough cultivation of
the SOIL AS to this change of farming
notions the Pioneer Press says: can
increased population, made up of fami-
lies thriftily engaged in cultivating the
soil, builds up r. better style of commu-
nifty. makes market for all kinds of
manufactures, invites the building of
railroads, contributes to an increase of

Further investigation brought to
light other bones that were undoubt-

rotten wood, few rusty nails, and
some old horn buttons. The wood was
evidently part of pine box in which
the man whose bones were found was
buried.
The place where the bones were
found was in the yard of a house now
owned by Mrs. George A. Neal, which
is to be moved. The place was the
home of James H. Campbell for many
years. Mr.. Campbell told George A.
Neal that the original trail to New

rich in q bound and with no intention
Of making his home on the land. BY
the aimsiest compliance with the. letter
and not the spirit of our liberal home
stead laws he secured title to tract of
100 acres or less, sold the timber and
then decamped. Among these earlier
homesteaders, however, there was
sprinkling of bona fide settlers who
came to build homes. These were men
with limited means who were accustom-
ed to living on their daily earnings and
who, craving freedom from wage slavery,
saw here the opportunity to work out
their own independence. How we'll they
have succeeded is shown by the prosper
Gus farming communities developing in
different parts of the county. The ex-
ample they set is being followed by
others of the same class. The fact is
that the growing scarcity of gov
ernmeot lands has increased the demand
and as consequence the purely specu.
alive homesteader finds it more difficult
to work his graft.
Let us review the interesting expert
ence of the real homesteader. Having
filed upon a piece of land he takes to
the woods with pack on his back that
may contain all his earthly POSSESSIONS
and the implements with which he is
to establish home. He will probably
have to cut road to reach his destina-
tion. From the timber on the land he
builds shack, and with a grub hoe for
plow he opens up garden patch from
which, IN the fall, he takes supply
of vegetables that more than suffices
for his own use. He is at home.
He has no wood to bay, no rent to pay.
To secure the ready money be needs he
finds plenty Of work, summer or winter
at as liberal wages~as are paid for CON-
mon labor anywhere. As the months
and years pass he extends his garden
patch into acres and adds to the CON-
forts of his home. His is life of labor,
but he is freed from the hand
to-mouth existence of the ordinary wage
Garner. He always has a dollar in his
pocket. He is in reality independent.
And he looks ahead to the time when
he will be surrounded by his hocks and
herds, when packsack and grub hoe will
be supplanted by horses and machinery,
when he can live in ease and comfort
He is not dreaming. Others are
doing it in Cook county,? Why should
not we'll directed industry accomplish as
much for him?
