MEDINA IS CENTER Of A SECTION Of COUNTRY THAT
HAS RECENTLY HAD A REMARKABLE development

Medina is near the western bound
airy line of Stutsman county and may
be said to be the center, agricultural
ly, of one of the most remunerative
sections of the state rich farming
lands which during the last two or
three years have been offered for sale
to the hundreds of homeseekers who
have been seeking other and larger
fields to conquer with the pillow and
harrow.
Since the new development began
in 1901 the expansion of Medina has
been healthful and gradual as de-
mands presented themselves they were

The new settlers are mostly Ameri-

and during the past three years have
harvested large yields figured among
the banner ones of western Stutsman
county. The soil is light and won
derfully fertile. The largest of steam
