TheRed River Valley

is the most fertile region in the world,
not excepting even the famous valley OF
the Nile. The soil in the valley consists
of heavy loan, made up of alluv1al
deposits, placed here by nature centur-
les ago. where what is now the Ked
River Valley, was large placer lake
The black loam is from one to three
feet thick and any of this soil when
turned up to the action of tn esun and
atmosphere teens with fertility and will
produce in abundance any kind of vege-
tation. For fertility there is nothing
to compare with it in this country.

KittS0n County

Positively the banner county of the
Red River Valley. This is owing to
the fact that nature has been very kind
to this county by giving it better drain
age than other counties in the same val
ley: In some parts of the Red River
Valley the land is too fiat and poorly
drained. In Kittson county this is differ
ent: The streams run deep in their beds
and the prairie is slightly rolling. For
this reason not single crop failure has
been recorded in Kittson county.

Development Only
Started

While it is true that settlement Of
the Red River Valley started only twen-
ty-fve years ago, it is also true that
Kittson county only started to be settled
when new country was developed IN the
far west and by dint of industrious ad-
vertising and booming the tide of lmmi-
grafton swerved off to the west OF us and
and we have only one-tenth the popula-
tion we ought to have. Come join us
and share our prosperity.
