es for the best farm products, for in
stance, don't you think we could do
much better?
Industrial School Exhibit.
Why, even the industrial school ex-
hibits that Superintendent Mithun
got up, pretty near came up to the
county exhibit. Perhaps you didn't
know it. Farming is great.
Settlers.
Where did that man say he was
from? Near Vasa? And the other
one? One from Carver, and the other
from somewhere in Illinois. The one
from illinois said he moved up two
years ago. He thot land was too ex-
pensive near his old home, when he
could get much better land up here at
less than one third of the price.
Progressive People.
These settlers that move in are
hustlers all right. They know how
to farm and take care of the ground.
The old lazybones wouldn't move it
they could. I suppose that is why we
don't have any of them up here. That
accounts for the progress. No wond-
er the old lake bottom is called the
"Rread basket of the world.
bitches.
What's this, did you say? That is
one of the big county bitches with
the road on top Of the dirt that was
thrown up. Oh, the bitches are al
most always as straight as that for
miles and miles. They always run
east and west in the section lines
You see the land slopes westward
towards the river. We have to have
these large bitches to drain the water
from the large swamps in the eastern
part of the Valley. That will make a
great section, too, in a few years.
Churches.
Here is still another church. Have
you noticed how prosperous the CON-
munities are, wherever there is q
church? What do you suppose makes
it?
Yes, I know; but they built one as
soon as they could, and the church
work has been kept up ever since.
They always meet once a week, and
sometimes more; and then there is
the young peoples society, and the
band, and the choir, and all kinds of
parties. You see they have chance
to meet and exchange ideas; and
they always pick up good things
here and there They find out what
is best to do and not to do; and when
and how to do things that they never
could have thot of themselves. And
then the people become better too;
and some of the young people go of
to school and come back with a whole
lot of work and of ideas piled up in
them, all ready to let loose.
They don't come back, you say! Or
course they do. Perhaps not every
one; but there are others that come
in their places, if they don't. I'll
point out the farms where some OF
the young people have been at school
somewhere and come back to help
father and mother. In that farm
house, that you see in that pretty
grove, a girl is keeping house for her
father. She took a course in cooking
and sewing at North Star College last
year; and I am sure she will never
regret it. She worked hard, too, while
at school; and her father is more than
pleased with what she has done.
Graduate on The Farm.
There is the home Of one of the
boys who graduated from the business
department at North Star College. If
you can find a boy that can and does
help his father more, we should like
to know him. Some Of his brothers
are coming to North Star College
this fall.
New Farming.
You see that place over there?
There lives one of the boys who stud
led agriculture at school. I believe II
was at-well, I have forgotten where.
The neighbors say that he has a lot
OF new ideas, and that he will ruin
the farm, if his father lets him. But
there is not any danger. I've noticed
that they have brought more milk to
the creamery since the boy came
back. And they have more eggs to
sell; and they have a better garden:
and the yard looks much more neat.
md I think they raise more grain to
he acre than before. But thew don't
nave so large fields. Thew DOM
