SOUND LOGIC.

Farm produce of all kinds is soar
ing in price, and the farmer that has
raised a fairly good crop Of any Of the
staples is able to dispose Of his surplus
at figures as high as have been quoted
in recent years. During the past week
flax has been selling in Minneapolis
and Duluth at more than 1920 per
bushel, wheat at more than$1 .1S. corn
at more than 60 cents. pork So ID to
$40 per hundred. Beef, mutton, cot
ton, butter, eggs, and other products
Of the farm are equally high, and
judging from the constantly advanc-
ing price, the high water marks has
not been reached. The farmer who
own 160 acres Of good soil can, by
ordinary prudence, careful tillage and
intelligent methods make larger pro
fit from the proceeds Of his farm at

these prices than can the man engag.
ed in almost any other line of busi-
ness with similar investment. AT
the present time a good quarter sec
ton Of land can be bought for from
5000 to 5000 and the rate Of interest
on the investment from crops at
present prices is marvellous. Either
the prices of farm produce must come
down g, long way from their present
standard or the value Of the lands in
this section will double in
the next ten years. The
farmer who owns a good quarter
OF Red River Valley land is to be con-
graduated. and should think a long

BRAINS MAKING MILLIONS.

How teaching agriculture in the
public schools Of Minnesota will make
profits for future generations, which
seems impossible to the present til
]ers of the soil, will be one of the
many things in connection with agri-
cultural and industrial education, re-
vealed by the Conservation and Agri-
cultural Development Congress to be
held in Saint Paul, March 1919.
When a farmers boys take charge
OF the farm, ten years profits may be
lost in experimenting as to the best
crop to raise On a given tract and feed
number of hogs, yet this may all have
been worked out years ago and accu-
rate information placed in such a.
form that it may be taught in the
schools, the same as geography.
Experiments have been profitable
in Minnesota. The state at one time
spent $4,000 studying wheat, oats,
corn, flax, barley and other field crops.
and the experiments reulted in in
creased production in about one
thousand fold, Or returned forty mil
lion dollars. Even il the estimated
returns are ten times too high. each
dollar of public money spent learning
something about the grains, returned
a hundred dollars.
One variety of wheat. Minnesota
No. 1859, has spread to a large acre
age, estimated at over a million and
is adding two dollars an acre to the
farmers profits. No. Is flax is crowd
ing out others because it yields 25
per cent more seed. Minnesota No.
IL corn has gained wide use from
Lake, Michigan westward through
three states and stretched the corn
belt until it extends fifty miles fur
ther North. :
How brains are making millions on
Minnesota farms will be one of the
subjects of the coming congress,
among the speakers being Richard J..
Crisby, of Washington, D. c., and
professors Webster, Heeter and Har-
rington Of Minnesota.

PROPOSED ELECTRIC LINE
BETWEEN OSLO AND
EAST GRAND FORKS.

If the present scheme OF c. H., An
derson, son Of well-to-do farmer
living north of East Grand Forks.
carries through, East Grand Forks
and Oslo will soon be connected by
means Of an electric railway. Mr.,
Anderson, who is now employed on
the digging of Uncle Sans big ditch
in the Canal Zone, has written a let
ter to Sullivan Bros, asking them for
various information and their opinion
Of the proposed plan.
Mr.. Anderson proposes to build Il
road over which the grain of the farm.
ers can be carried to the market as
we'll as passengers back and
forth, etc. The electric railway will
connect with the Northern Pacific in
East Grand Forks and with the 500
at Oslo. Under the plan a passenger
train will run twice a day between
the two cities, freight will be shipped
from either city to the farmers along
the way, and grain hauled over the
load to either city, where it will be
shipped to other points.
Mr.. Anderson proposes to have the
railway company capitalized at $780,
GOO, He is seeking all the information
possible from the citizens of the city,
and the farmers surrounding East
Grand Forks. He was born and raised
in Polk county and knows the lay of
the land we'll. He states in his letter
that he is not professional promo
ter and feels a deep interest in the
progress of the county.
ss"'s II r. anderson s plan IS rather a nov
Ell one
Following is the letter.
Empire, c. Z Dec. 81, 1902.
Dear Sir and Friend:
would you like to be able to load
your grain in a car within one to
three miles of your farm buildings? l?
Have you ever figured out how much
it costs you in time, money, horse
flesh, wear and tear on wagons, ETC..
to haul grain to market? Well. you
wouldn't haul much more to East
Grand Forks or Oslo if someone
! would do it for you, for, say one half
to three-cuarters of cent per bushel
per mile, would you?
THAT isn't all either, which would
your wife do (f you have one) on a
rainy day or in blizzard, if she had
to go to town? Take one to three
hours to drive and get her clothes wet
and spoiled or herself nearly frozen,
or, take an electric railway car al
! most to the door, pay to 25 cents
and be safe in town in twenty minutes
to an hour?
"Now, there is the point, l want to
gather the opinions of every. one in
the vicinity as to what they think
about having an electric railway be-
tween East Grand Forks and Oslo,
connecting with the N. P. and 500
railways at those points. ~-. -. .r
in order to aid you in giving an
opinion on the subject, am enclosing
list of questions which it is hoped
you will answer frankly. Any addi-
tional remarks or information that is
not covered by the questions, hope
you will feel free to write on the re-
verse side of the question sheet.
-. Most respectfully yours,
C. Fl. Anderson.
P. ST. am not a professional pro-
motor, just. common citizen among
you. L was born in Polk county and
have lived there the most of my life:
therefore, I feel a deep interest TN its
progress"
