BEL RAMi COUNTY COMING INTO HER OWN


Much has been said in the Pho
neer relative to the success of the
fair held last week; and possibly our
readers are somewhat weary of read
ing articles anent the fair of '09."
However, the Pioneer desires to i'm
press on the business men of Be-
midi, the farmers of the county,
and in fact every resident of this
section that too much Importance
cannot be given to the benefits tn at
will accrue to Beltrami county
through the medium of this same
fair and wide publicity that has been
given to what noted agricultural
specialists have said as to the
wonderful exhibits that we're shown.
When professors of state universit-
les of both Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin will give such unstinted praise to
the worth of our soils for the pro-
duction of superior agricultural
products, we should take off our hats
and shout-it means much to the
future development of this CON-
munity when the pine trees have
been removed, and the cedar and
pulpwood are no more.
These authoritive statements give
the lie direct to some over-enthusias-
tic dealers in land in Canada and
other places who have been loud in
denouncing the cut-over lands of this
section as being fit for nothing but
the lairs of wild beasts and the re-
forestation of jackpine trees.
And the editor of the Pioneer
feels INDICATED, in that this paper
has always stoutly maintained that,
with anything like modern, up-to-date
methods used in tilling this so-called
jackpine soil," the result would
astonish the farming experts of even
our own state, and compel the world
at large to recognize the pine lum-
bering belt" asthe future pre-eminent
agricultural and dairying section of
Minnesota.
At all times, the Pioneer has ad-
vocated progressive methods in get.
ting out of the rut of the border
demonstrating of lands and ekeing
out aprecardious existence with final
abandonment of claims and clear
ing out of the county" to new past
ures and greener felds-and that
is just what many of the earle,
homesteaders" of this section did.
This element of no count" early
pioneers" has been succeeded by a
thrifty people who are determined tt
till the soil in a proper manner and,
by rotation of crops and the raising
of the "bread-winner," the dairy
COW, make permanent homes for them
selves and assist in developing north
ern Minnesota into the most pro
ductive and prosperous section o
the Union.
Permit US to repeat that these re
suits are highly gratifying to tn
writer hereof. We have been an I'm
willing recipient of the sobriquet O
hot-air" artist, because of aur CLAIM
that Beltrami county lands (althougl
somewhat sandy are unsurpassed
by any in the United States for thu
raising of agricultural products an<
dairying.
Verify, we are fast coming int
