clearing away Of the second growth
is done with comparative ease thus
enabling the new conner to raise a
magnificent and we'll paying crop the
first year.
c. e. Brown of Elk river, soil
specialist, declares that the best po-
tatoes in the world may be grown
here. and that the land cannot be ex-
celled for hay and clover. Experience
has already demonstrated that all
products belonging to the class Of
truck farming or market gardening
can be raised there abundantly with
a certainty Of q good crop every year.
Mr.. J. r. Dykehouse, a pioneer in
the section is raising crops Of celery
that equal in every respect the Kali
amazoo product.
Mr.. A. Schmiedel an Illinois truck
gardner of ten years experience in
that state, and for the last twenty
months resident of Meadowlands,
declares that people do not realize
the wealth and prosperity possible
of attainment in this section. MIR.
Schtedel writing of his own exper-
1ence In Meadowlands last year says,
MY business as truck former
prospered marvelously and was sue
cess from every view point. I have
never before harvested better lettuce,
onions, radishes, beets etc., than in
the past year, and found the market
and transportation facilities all that
could be desired. My practical
knowledge of truck gardening is such
to warrant the recommendation of

The celery raised in the Meadow
lands district is remarkable for its
even texture and it's peculiarly sweet
flavor, and a Kalamazoo specialist,
John c. Van Bowen who visited
Meadowlands last season and saw
the celery crop grow is most en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of the
section for celery culture.
But celery is but one Of the crops
that this fertile region produces.
THOMAS Cooper, of the agricultural
department of Minnesota University,
visited Meadowlands, and compated
the potatoes yield and found it to be
$50 bushels to the acre. Many Of
the hills examined gave fifteen mer-
charitable potatoes and some hills
even nineteen. Where in the west
or south can this showing be ex-
celled or even equalled?
Another thing, the proximity Of
Lake Superior the largest body Of
fresh water in the world which never
freezes over combined with its land
elevation, probably accounts for the
entire absence in this region Of late
frosts in the spring and early frosts
in the fall, so harmful to crops in
other places.
Meadowlands has most desirable
and healthy climate, rich, productive
soil. the land is easily cleared, the
transportation facilities first class.

the years.
The growing fame of Northern
Minnesota as a rich region, ready at
hand for those who seek home and
fertile acres is testified to with IN
creas1ng volume as a. result Of the
educational work that has been car
rled on in the last few years, and
probably no man in Northen Min
nesota has done more faithful or
more efficient work along this line
than Mr.. L. B. Arnold, land commits
sioner of the D. & I. r. r., with Of
fices on the 5th floor of the Wolvin
building in this city. He is a. oare-
ful, competent and conservative man
who has made a thorough study of
every phase Of the problem. and
prospective buyers, and home seekers
whether for farming on a large scale
or for truck farming gardening,
poultry raising or celery culture, can
find no more reliable man In this
county or in any other, with which
to deal, and the Labor World takes
great pleasure in calling attention to
his advertisement in another column
of this issue.
