FARMERS SCHOOL ON WHEELS
Special How Make More
MoneyPraccal Addresses Practical Speakers
State Agricultural Farming. Poultry
Raising. Dairyng and Gardening.
Especial Correspondence by Don Carlos Musser)

And now comes the school on
wheels. Do you wonder that some
old timers who have not yet been
fully awakened to the rapidly
changing conditions, think that
people are going daffy over farm
ing?
The Agricultural Special 1912
will bring to the doors of the sett-
lers and farmers of this great Sec
ton, the latest word in farming,
dairying, poultry raising and
gardening, 1t will be not only a
school Oh wheels but an agricultural
exhibit as well, and of tremendous
value to those who are wide enough
awake to take advantage of it.
Not so very long ago Henry
Ward Beecher wrote: He that
would look with contempt on the
pursuits of farmer, is not worthy
the name of man." To-day, no
one looks with contempt on the
farmer, but countless thousands
envy him that work, and feel, way
down in their hearts that of all
callings his is really the most
honorable, the most conducive to
health, prosperity and longevity.
The Back to the farm" move
ment has gained the serious atten-
tion of half the people of this con-
tinent and, in consequence, we in
the most favored section of the
Unions best state are beginning to
realize that St. Louis county is on
the eve of wonderful agricultural
developement. Our iron and tim
Der resources, vast and marvellous
as they are, will soon be over
shadowed by our agricultural
wealth. There is no richer land on
earth and many thousands of
earnest people are even now seek
ing the golden opportunities north
ern Minnesota offers.
Men are not growing daffy" on
farming; they are simply becoming
aroused from the mesmerism of
city life with its vain endeavors,

is a magnificent idea. 1t is one of
those movements that should have,
and doubtless will receive the most
hearty and enthusiastic support OF
all classes.
Advertising is one of the most
potent factors i'll the progress OF
the world. The best advertising
this country can possible have is
the successful, satisfied farmer.
Here is more wealth than the
mighty Solomon ever dreamed of /,
but absolutely unavailable to those
who know nothing about it. It
must be advertised and the only
proper way to advertise it is though
the success of those already here,

more to the community than all
the stories one can write. The
Special 1912" is to help the
farmer be successful.
With the Special" will be a
baggage car full of carefully
selected farm implements, demon
strated to be the most practical,
and the kind that pays farmers to
buy. Another baggage car will
contain an exhibit of seed potatoes.
There will also be samples of all
kinds of boxes and crates for ship
ping cabbages, celery, lettuce, eggs
and other farm products, and
sample chicken houses, incubators,
brooders and everything used in
successful poultry raising. These
will be exhibited and explained by
experts sent out by the State
Agricultural School.
In addition to this there will be
addresses on the practical side of
farming, and these addresses
should be listened to by every man,
woman and child who can possibly
