by chance there was a meeting to
be held here today and came all the
way from Grand Forks to be here"
Filled with enthusiasm and fire,
Mr.. Willard compared Northern Min
nesota of five years ago with present
conditions and then pictured this Sec
ton of the country five years hence.
Continuing he said, "The people are
flocking to Northern Minnesota fast
err than to any other country ] be-
lieve that the great Canadian and
Western craze has been checked and
that people are beginning to relaize
the opportunities that lie at it's door.
Warning To Farmers
"Do not fall over the dead line of
Encouragement. This is the warning
I want to give to you farmers who
might be easily discouraged. Wish
we could organize a scheme to keep
people awake, and if such a scheme
would fail to kill them off or kick
them out Of the country. Now there
are men in this county who have
not cleared a half an acre of land
during the past year. This l consider
crime. You men of the city, with
influence and knowledge, including
Mr.. Stewart, opsahl, Dyer, Gle,
Richie and others, should make reg
ular trips into the country and hold
meetings at school houses, and there
| demonstrate to the farmers how TO
clear land. How to use dynamite, how
to grow crops and care for their
cattle. Get them to agree to Clear at
least an acre a year. Stir up the
sentiment and keep it stirred up. He
owes it to his family and to his
neighbors. If you ever effected such
start and showed them how easy
it was to clear land, you could never
stop them. If they did not have the
means to pull the stumps they surely
could clean out the brush and SOW
seed around the stumps and in a
few years the cattle would put the
land into condition where stump pull
ling would be snap.
81 prefer wood land to prairie be-
cause the odds are against prairie
land. 1t has not the soil with body,
and to farm in prairie country, is
the most dismal thing l ever heard
Of"
Winter Makes Hit
G. G. Winter was flatteringly in
troduced by chairman Lycan, which
placed that kind gentleman in a
rather embarrassing position at the
opening of his remarks He soon for
got his embarrassment and entered
into the spirit with a talk full of snap
and vigor. In part he said, II came
here a year ago last March and was
given about 10000 acres of land to
sell, and four years to sell it. It was
all disposed of within a year and at
the present time the Crookston Lum-
Der company has sold about $1,000
acres to 500 purchasers. About so
per cent of these purchasers are now
or will be settlers. 100 families came
here this spring, and most of them
are doing fine"
Mr.. Winter also related experien-
ces of various men who came here
to buy land, stating that many
bought before ever seeing. Continu-
ing he said, when people come to
buy land we tell them it's hard work
to clear it, and it will mean hard
labor for the first three years at
least. Some have even turned away
because of this, and we are glad of
it, because they are not the class of
people we want in this county,

J. E. Dade of Blackjack, who
came late, was called upon for a

mend that if this association does

choose as his subject, "alfalfa" and
submitted samples of this popular
grass. He told how to raise it and
what it does to the land. He said
ut is not necessary to pay one dol
lar a pound for alfalfa seed. Good
seed can be had for much less. We
have already cut the second crop al
the high school farm, samples OF
which I hold here in my hand. We
expect to cut the third crop before
September first. This is our first sea-
son of alfalfa growing and expect
that next year the crop will be much
heavier.
II advise growing a small acreage
and the rotation of crops in order to
be successful growers. Alfalfa is one
of the best and most profitable crops
to raise. Every animal will eat it.

alfalfa before it blooms, ash it will
give the next crop a better chance.

ton organized among the farmers in

How To Clear Land
+ A. J. Mcclure, superintendent OF
the state EXPERIMENTAL farm of Grand
Rapids, gave a short talk on land
clearing. "Scores of farmers have
passed up the chance to buy land
direct from the state, and wait until
some land buyer has control Of 1t
and then turn around and pay him
big commission" said Mr.. MCGUIRE
Continuing, he said, "Grab it before
the land man gets it make that profit
to which you are also entitled. :
81 would like to see land clearing
organizations formed and believe
that men who are looking for clear
ing contracts should get busy with
the farmers in respective commute
ties and make contracts for clearing
adjoining lands, which would consid.
erably reduce the cost. I believe that
cut over lands can be, cleared at q
cost of not more than $50, per acre
l am in favor of the state having
a land department., so that it can
sell direct to the farmer and make
him a proposition to clear por-
ton of it, before he takes possession
"If a man should make a study OF
clearing land, he should be able to
ascertain within few dollars, what
the cost would be, Just the same as
men do now who cut timber: They
should make a 'business of it and &c
into it. A farmer should have COW
for every acre he owns. Our expert
mental farm has crops on it as good
as any in the United States. The
easiest way to clear for the man
with limited means is to clean up the
brush SOW seed and let the cattle do
the rest. Within few years, the cat
tie will reduce the cost of clearing
from $50 down to about $40 a acre.
I recommend the combination of a
stump puller and dynamite where

VISITORS ARE PENALIZED
Shortly after the start of the second

charging, and Dyke took the kick and
netted. The local team now started in
desperate attack, and from another
penalty kick later the second goal
was scored by Dyke.
The British Columbia men came
back after this, and Pieknell just
missed beautiful shot.
With a lead of two goals gained on
penalties the California team was
