RED RIVER VALLEY
BETTER THAN IOWA

Thief River Falls, MINI, March 20
George Eastman, a farmer living east
Of the city in Pennington county, who
has returned from a visit to his old
home in Iowa, speaks with enthusiasm
of the possibilities of the Red river val
ley and comments with a great deal of
vigor on the advantage of this sec
ton compared with that Of the corn
state.
81 farmed for Years in Iowa and
the best crop of corn / ever raised
from my $100-an-acre and was eighty
bushels per acre." he said Last
year on my farm neal here 1 raised
twenty bushels of fax per acre, TWEEN
ty-four Of wheat and 100 of corn, fig
uring thirty seven pounds to the bushel.
I would not trade my farm here, acre
for acre, with my old farm near Wat
erloo, Ia, which / sold for 500 per
acre, and no man can raise SO much
on it. acre for acre.
Finds Climate Better.
mot only tI1at, but when it Comes to
climate, we have Iowa backed clear
of the map. I always feel good here
and am never bothered with a cold.
This is the fifth winter I have made
trip to Waterloo and every time
I have returned with the same beastly
cold, or one similar. There is snow
and slush down there now, with the
worst kind of weather and I am heart
tly glad to bet back. AS a matter of
fact 1 would not return to Iowa to
farm II they made me a gift Of the old
place. As long as I farm I will do so
right here in the rich Red river VAL

SOCCER GAINS
FOOTHOLD In
LOCAL SPORTS

Is soccer destined to rival and even
supercede the popularity OF the rugby
game In this vicinity In the coming
year? That Is a question that is being
weighed in the minds Of many who
are watching the quick growth Of the
English National pastime I'm this Sec
tion.
There is a strong coterie of soccer
enthusiasts located IN Wilmington,
and they are determined to put the
game on a sound footing here by
bending combined efforts toward that
object Not only do they derive en-
joyment personally by participating
OF watching the game but It is also
hoped to instill the beauty of the fin
er qualities Of the game into local
football fans.
BY a process Of education the Soc
Ger men have succeeded IN interest
ing fully 1000 Wilmingtonians in the
game and-are steadily increasing its
popularity With such a backing the
English game will soon become a
strength In the local sporting world
Wilmington has two good teams in
Irish-American and Windsor and a
fine article of ball has been put up
by each OF them this season.
That the soccer game is spreading
is shown by the Organization OF teams
in practically all Of the big colleges
of the country. Princeton, Yale
Columbia, Harvard. and others have
competent soccer teams in the field
At present they are no match against
the English veterans of the game
but with the passing Of years they
should reduce the play to the science
and skill shown by their brothers
across the sea.
