SUBscRlPTION---s5.0O. PER ANNUM
BELTRAMl COUNTY LANDS SURPRISINGLY Y
PRODUCTIVE.

In these days when fashy pamph-
are turned out by the tons showing
what soil in other sections of the
country will do in the way of pro-
duction, it is not wise to overlook
the possibilities of northern Mime
sofa. The state board of immigra-
ton has been greatly surprised by
the reports it has received and this
has been especially true in regard
to the potato culture.
The source of the surprise occas-
ioned to the immigration board was
the unequaled yield of tubers which
was obtained by farmers of Bel
trami county who entered in the
contest inaugurated last spring by
J. J. Opsahl, who gave liberal
premiums and prizes for the best
yield of potatoes on a half-acre of
land and also for the best bushel
of "spuds."
The immigration board has just
issued the following statement
relative TO these yields, and the
productiveness of the soil in Bel
trami county:
A gold mine has been discovered
in the northern part of Minnesota.
For several months, or years, there
have been rumors that there is valu-
able land in Beltrami and other of
the heavily wooded counties and
information received by the state
immigration office confirms the pre-
vious suspicious.
On land which can be bought
for $6 to $40 an acre one of the
recent settlers in the woods, forty
miles north of Bemidji, has raised
half an acre of potatoes which aver
age 465 bushels to the acre, which
means that he cleared $279 on the
acre.
The potatoes were raised in a
contest instituted by the Beltrami
County Agricultural Association.
"Other large yields were 378, 328
and 281 bushels to the acre.
The land on which the crops were
grown was covered with wood
several years ago.
Immigrants from other states
have entered on the land and are
gradually clearing portions of it. 1t
is the greatest clover growing reg
ion in the United States and much
of the value of the farm products
consists in fat sheep and hogs.
All of the immigrants which the
immigration commission have in
duced to settle in the northern part
of the state are we'll pleased with
their new homes.
The United States land agent at
Cass Lake says that the department
has brought men to that region from
half the states of the Union, all of
whom have taken large tracts of land
for their future home.''

BURNT SUGAR AN ANTIsEPTIC.

The custom of bur ming sugar in a

useless practices which are rather
tolerated than insisted upon by the
medical profession. But Nj Trillat

WOMAN AND HER HATS

BILE millinery, the inexperienced are
always on the safe side when
they have their trimmings blended
by professional trimmers, employed
by all the enterprising establish
ments nowadays.
Roses, pond lilies and tinted or
chids are used in the decorative
scheme Of the hats pictured and in
addition to the flowers there Is a
spray of wheat in gold galoon and
a most startling note of cerise in a
rosette of ribbon at the back. The
roses are pink. the lilies are white
and the orchids must blend with the
pink of the roses and cerise of the
rosette to form perfect color
scheme, but the result Is delicious.
Hats of this kind are worn with
lingerie frocks and afternoon toll
cites of silk and cloth. Their var
led color scheme make them suitable
for wear with almost any frock, and
It Is only when one sticks to the one
tone, ideas that such a hat cannot
