The settling of lands in northern
Minnesota has been a problem, that
not only the northern section of the
state has had to contend with, but
a problem which tn entire state has
been wrestling with for the past five
years. Much advertising has been
done the past year to induce settlers
to take up farm lands in this section
of the state, especially in Beltrami
county.
This county has also been among
the foremost in advertising these
lands. The state conducts land sales
several times during the year but the
man of moderate means is handicap
ped because he is unable to pay for
the land such as is required by the
state and also does not feel that he
can pay for the necessary improve
ments including stock, machinery
and other equipment in addition to
making yearly payments on his prop
erty.
Crookston Lumber Co. Comes to
Rescue.
Nearly 100000 acres of the best
Eeut-over land n northern Minnesota
is owned by this company Most of
the land lies north and west of Be-
midi. The soil is the best to be
found anywhere. It is productive
and easy to put into condition for
cultivation.
This land is now being placed on
sale by the Crookston Lumber Co., in
strips as desired by the purchaser.
The land will be sold to settlers for
the small payment of $3.50 per acre
down and twenty years time in which
to pay the balance. No yearly pay
ments are required. The company
has withheld the sale of it's land
thinking that the entire tract might
be turnd over at one time on one
deal, but believing that more good
for the north country can be derived
by selling this land at practically
the same conditions as the state sells
it's land it now makes this special
offer to those who would settle this
prosperous country. Five per cent
| interest is all that is asked.
At auction sales, land that is
worth no more than most of the lands
offered by the Crookston Lumber
Company, has brought from Sc to
So per acre. The company has
listed it's land at from So to So per
acre and the small payment of $3.50
will swing the deal for period of
twenty years.
This opportunity will enable the
settlers who have not the ready cash
to buy their land outright, to apply
what he can produce in buying farm
equipment, stock and other neces-
sites in the building up of a modern
farm. He can make many improve
ments and his farm can earn the
purchase price many times over be-
fore the settler is required to pay for
it. The privilege of making pay
ments or paying for the entire tract
before the twenty year period ex-
pires is granted the purchaser.
At the rate that farming communi-
ties are being built up under adverse
conditions as have existed in the
past, this country would be thickly
settled within the next five years,
but the advantage that the Crookston
Lumber Company are Offering to
home seekers and settlers should
cause an influx of population by the
hundred, during the coming year
This opportunity is one that has been
long desired and for which the home
seeker has long been waiting.
The settling of these lands will
mean better roads, better drainage
and bigger opportunities for the
cities and towns in this north coun-
