MINNESOTA SHOWS
GREAT PROSPERITY

Minneapolis, Minn.-Here are some
facts and figures about Minnesota
which II. j. MaXfield, state immigra-
ton commissioner, has compiled.
Minnesota has over 30OO0,OO0 acres
of land that yet remains in its prim-
tive state and of this amount, eX-
perts estaimate that 80 per cent or
27.0O0,000 acres are fit for cultiva
ton.
That means that there yet remain
10000 160-acre farms capable OF
producing everything that is grown
in northern temperate climate, and
situated amid all the accessories oi
modern civilization.
Minnesota has 100000 acres OF
state school lands that can be OBJ.
tained on 40 years time purchase. The
average price of these lands is $6.75
an acre.
Minnesota has about 1,250,0 acres
of government land subject to home
stead entry.
Statistics show that Minnesota has
become one of the great potato rails
ing states, producing in 1910 more
than 1S,400,00O bushels. Last years
produce was still higher.
