RICHLANDSABOUT DULUTH
INSPECTION PARTY FINDS FER
TILE SOIL AND AN ABUNDANCE
OF FINE TIMBER,

st. Louis county has great resources
aside from its iron mines, and one Of
the greatest of these is cordwood. Land
within easy hauling distance from Du-
luth sells at SIS per acre and will give
on the average forty cords of wood
worth from so to SO cord in the Du-
iuth market. This means that the small
farmer can purchase st. Louis county
lands and pay for them, even tho the
personal labor.
This was one of the facts discovered
by the northwestern editors who visited
Duluth Saturday as members Of the
State Land Inspection Special. Com
ing directly from the wonderful iron
deposits of the Mesaba, where they saw
the open-plt mines at Hibbing, it was
something OF surprise to the party to
fEd that they We're also in one Of the
richest farming regions of the state.
AS soon as the party arrived in Du-
luth it was taken in charge by the
Duluth Commercial club A trolley ride
to the suburbs, drive Of nine miles
thru country covered with hardwood
forests so dense that, in spite of their
nearness to civilization they still shell
ter large number Of deer, brought
them to the celebrated Jean Du LIth
4,000-acre farm are cleared from trees
and under cultivation. Practically all
the buildings on this farm are built
with timber cleared off it's fields and
sawed on the premises. In addition to
this, enough wood has been sold as ties,
fence posts ard freWood to pay for
clearing the land.
Once cleared, the land of this district
| is wonderfully fertile. Timothy and
clover grow heavy crops, and unculti-
1 xated sHsepIs 5ednee wd which
berry farming has proved very profit
able.
Returned from their drive the Wis.
itors were the guests at a banquet given
by the Commercial club. In the speech
| making which followed the keynote was
the richness of Minnesota lands, not Of
one district alone, but in all the coun-
ties visited. The resources Of northern
Minnesota were declared inexhaustible,
and the visiting agriculturists divided
! their wonder between the fertility of
the fields and the lack Of appreciation
shown them hitherto.
The party arrived in st. Paul early
Sunday morning, tired but very content
| with its weeks work, and disbanded
| after presenting to Auditor Iverson ard
Superintendent Of immigration Warner
a set Of resolutions, signed by all the
members Of the party, expressing their
appreciation of the opportunity given
| them and the hospitality with which
they had been treated.

Minot, n. D., July 31.-There is no

com m ence about Aug. rs. altho in some
instances in the county it will not occur
until the goth. ...s..
According to the reports, the proba-
BILE yield of the crop, if the present pros
poets mature, will be as follows: Twen-
ty-fve to thirty bushels of wheat an
acre; ten to fifteen bushels of fax, and
fifty to sixty bushels Of oats.
A large number of men will be needed
In the harvest fields Of this county. In
some sections of the county 100 men can
be used, while the report from Porta! is
to the effect that 1000 men will be
needed. 49,. =

Thirty. thousand men will be needed
