New Farmers Coming.

Minnesota has approximately 5000
more farmers this year than she had
last, according to figures compiled by
Fred D. Sherman, Commissioner o.
Immigration Taking these 5000 far
mers and calculating on the usual
basis of five to each family. it means
that $4,000 immigrants have come to
Minnesota during the past year.
These figures are arrived at by a
system of correspondence with land
dealers all over the state. Thirty days
ago Mr.. Sherman sent letters to 5000
land dealers in Minnesota asking
them to give him the names of par
ties to whom they had sold Minnesota
land in other states who had moved
to Minnesota and were occupying
their farms. To these letters AS have
replied, which when totaled show that
1858 living in other states have
bought Minnesota land and moved
here. The states contributing to this
immigration are as follows in order
named: Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska,
South Dakota and Indiana; and the
balance scattering from practically
every state in the union. According
to returns every county in the state
has received some new farmers. OF
the number received Pine county tops
the list with 1852 reported in; Cass
county comes next with III; Swift
county 116; Beltrami 107; Watonwan
90; Wilkin IS; and the lowest county
gives a report Of 10 new farmers.
A significant feature of this report
is that the counties of Southern and
Central Minnesota have received the
largest number of immigrants. This
clearly indicates that the "Step Sys-
tenn" is taking place in Minnesota. In
other words, the Iowa and Illinois
farmers are selling their 5000 and $500
lands and buying the 500 lands OF
the farmers in Southern Minnesota
and the Southern Minnesota farmers
are moving farther north and buying
cheaper lands of northern Minnesota
No attempt was made to gather data
as to sales made to Minnesota men
but great many letters received from
Northern Minnesota land dealers in
form Mr. Sherman that they have
sold but very few tracts to people liv
ing outside of the state and have
dealt almost entirely with men from
Southern and Central Minnesota.
These figures do not take into con
sideration the state lands sold to non
residents. The State Auditors report
for the year of 1913 shows that state
lands were sold to 100 parties living
outside of Minnesota. Neither does
it take into consideration che men
who have filed on Minnesota home
steads. Reports from the three Gov
eminent Land Offices show that dur
ing the past year 1904 people have
filed on Minnesota homestead lands
and as replies are coming in slowly
every day from these letters, it is a
very conservative estimate to place
the total of new residents in this
state at 5000.

The Biggest Industry Of Its Kind in
the World.


the World.
Everybody knows about Ivory Soap
but very few people realize what tre-
mendous demand there is for it from
coast to coast and even in all other
parts Of the world.
The original factory at Ivorydale, a
suburb of Cincinnati, has grown until
it is town of itself. There is build
ing after building, oil tanks without
number, interlacing railroad tracks,
great freight trains departing with
case after case of Ivory, other trains
Of tank cars unloading their contents
day and night. Indeed one needs but
birds eye view of this great plant to
realize that here is one of the worlds
giant industries.
But it is hard to believe that two
other plants of equal magnitude are
needed to supply the demand for this
company's product. That is the truth
Of the matter, however. At Kansas
City and at Port Ivory, New York, are
factories that are equally impressive
and. like the 1vorydale plant, they are
taxed to their capacities to supply the
trade in the territory which looks to
them for Ivory Soap.
To paraphrase Lincoln's saying,
good product like Ivory Soap seems to
please not only some of the people all
the time and all Of the people some Of
the time but all the people all the time.

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-03-25

The Telegram is glad to have the
strong cooperation of the Orlando
Sentinel in agitating the subject of
a Florida exhibit at the San Fran
cisco exposition next year. The Sen
tinel says very truly that it would
be better to have the whole State
represented, but, if not, south Flor
ida where the citrus fruits grow,
should have an eXhibit-even if the
various peninsular counties have to
make an appropriation for the pur-
pose. The Sentinel says:
can appropriation of a thousand
dollars from each of the peninsular
counties would give ample funds for
a display but no county should give
less than that amount. Money ex-
pended in this wise would be good
investment, and the Sentinel is
heartily in favor of it. There should
be a voluntary movement in each
county for the attainment of this
object. Capt. French, of Sanford,
is the commissioner appointed by
the governor to collect an exhibit,
but his appointment carried no ap-
preparation with it, and as we I'M
derstand it he will have to do his
own financing. This is no fair way
to go about the matter. A number
of the counties ought to come to-
gether, advance the funds necessary
and let Capt. French go about his
task of collecting the exhibit with
bis mind free of financial worry. ;"

full publicity thus given to our city
finances, assets and liabilities is es-
pecially to be commended. 1t ''turns

organization of the accounts in a

a journal and general ledger, with
few auxiliary books. 1t is evident
that the municipal accounts have
