numbers of them emigrated last year
and still more will move the coming
fall. Texas has secured the most of
these, Montana, Idaho, North and
South Dakota have taken their share,
while goodly number have migrated
to Canada, while Minnesota has re-
ceived but very few. The reason is
because these regions have been ex-
tensively advertised through the
newspapers, by pamphlets and local
and travelling agents, and Minnesota
and it's resources are unknown.
In fact, all our trip was outside of
the minnesota zone" The people
knew nothing about Minnesota. The
general impression was that it was a
good place to hunt and fish but not
really fit for farming, and the fact
that corn and apples could be raised
in this state was a matter of genuine
surprise to most of the visitors to the
car.
Whether the trip was a profitable
investment or not can only be con-
jectured. There is little doubt that
there will be some immediate results,
and it is believed that results will
continue to accrue for many years to
come. 1t certainly advertised what
this state can do in the way of pro-
duction as could have been done in
no other manner, and this advertising
was placed where it was most needed.
James A. Larson, assistant secre-
tary of state, was with the car the
first week of the trip and his service
was of the greatest value as he had
had experience on the car last year
Harold Knutson and G. S. Benson
both we'll known to citizens of ST
Cloud, were the other men with the
car and both worked hard and con
scientiously to make the trip sue
cess.
