MINNESOTA ON THE JOB
Gopher State Exhibit at Indiana Fair
Appeals to Young Farmers-An
Opportunity to Buy Home.
100000 ACRES WILD LAND

! Fred D.. Sherman, immigration
commissioner, continues to usher
forth the wonderful advantages and
possibilities of Minnesota, and never
does he lack sufficient energy to grasp
every opportunity to boost for the
Gopher state. Concerning the Min
nesota booth at the Indiana fair, an
Indianapolis paper says:
''The Minnesota state department.
Of immigration has an extensive ex-
hibit of the states farm products at
the Indiana state fair with Fred D.
Sherman, commissioner of immigra-
ton in charge. The commissioner
says the purpose Of the exhibit is not
/ to lure Indiana farmers from their
homes to become tillers of Minnesota
soil, but to show young men who are
financially unable to buy the high
priced land of this state that if they
Intend to seek a region where they
can make a start that it will not be
! necessary for them to go to Canada,
| for Minnesota offers many oppor-
| tunities.
eff I were farmer in Indiana I
would not think of selling my farm
to go to Minnesota or any other
state,' Mr.. Sherman said. II would
remain here, where farmers have all
of the good opportunities that they
will find anywhere in the United
States. But through the middle west
there are many young men who
have saved from $1,000 te $4,000 and
who see that they cannot buy much
of farm of their own when land
sells from 800 to 5000 an acre.
These young men are nearly all farm
renters. They expect to leave their
native state sometime to find new
opportunities and Minnesota wants
them to come to her. IL
''There are 100000 acres of
wild lands in Minnesota that are
available at So to $50 an acre and
all the lines Of farming that can be
practiced in any part of the north
can be carried on. The tide of emf
grafton to Canada has turned. That
! country is no longer competitor
with the states of the north and the
northwest, the people of the United
States who are seeking new locations
now finding out that they can get
in their own country anything in
the way of farm lands that available
outside of their native land"

INTERESTED IN BELTRAMI.
Hundreds of Farmers Secure Litera-
ture Concerning This County.

''It was surprising to notice the in
creased interest in our booth follow
ing the winning of the red ribbon"
said v. M. Owen, the Bemidji land
man, following his return from Ham
line, where he spent the week of the
state fair. Hundreds of farmers
visited our exhibit and secured lit
erature and information concerning
Beltrami, and there is no doubt as
to the effect it had upon them. It
is my opinion that the next year will
see a great influx of settlers in Bel
trami.''

Ben Haskell, Following Absence of

1t was just four years ago that
Ben Haskell, at that time a resident
of Tenstrike, in which village he
had resided for three years, determ-
ined to search for home in COM
munity of greater possibilities, and
with his family and team he began
his journey.
During his absence Haskell has
visited fifteen states, never once
boarding a passenger or freight
liged to change his horses. State
after state was visited and more and
more did he realize that northern
Minnesota was, after all, the most
ideal country to live in and that it's
advantages, opportunities, progress
siveness and spirit to forge ahead and
accomplish something, were I'M
equalled, and as consequence today

Haskell upon leaving Tenstrike
drove to Kansas where he remained
three months as the guest of his par
ents. From there he visited Okla
homa, Wyoming, Montana, Missouri,
Arkansas, Iowa, North and South Da-
kota and several other states Three
times did he inspect the government
reservation in Montana which was
recently thrown open to homestead
ers. With twenty-five of his towns
men he intended to secure land, but
when he viewed the property to
which he held a ticket, he did not file.
His companions did likewise
Back to Minnesota.
Every mile he travelled greater
grew his desire to return to Mime
sofa and more and more did he lose
faith in the belief that he could pro-
fit by acquiring land and home in
other districts than in the Gopher
state. Not only has Haskell come back
but he has preached Minnesota to
friends and new acquaintance, with
the result that they are coming here
with a view of investing.
The Best of Them All.

said Mr.. Haskell. ''I am back here
to stay. For farming this state can
not be beat. For a home give me
Minnesota, for farming give me Min
nesota, for boosters give me Mime
sofa, and for that spirit of progress
that instills in every resident that
wonderful desire to accomplish some
thing, give me Minnesota I came
to Tenstrike seven years ago, the
health of my baby daughter being
such that change of climate was
necessary. This was when she was
one year of age. Until she was two,
she was carried about on a pillow,
while today she is the picture OF
health. Minnesota weather gave her
health: 1 am for Minnesota, for the
reason that I have investigated and
found that men have and are failing,
where if they were to take a chance
on Minnesota they would succeed"

eight year old daughter are the

London, Sept 14-Three tremen-
dous struggles are waging along as
many battle lines and from none OF
them comes a report of decisive re-
suit. IT,
The Antwerp correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph sends the following:
GA courier brings news of fighting
at Hofstade, near Maliens. King Al
bert motored out and participated in
the general engagement, which is ap>
parently going we'll.
THE German artillery figured con-
siderably, but the Belgian infantry,
we'll supported by guns, gradually
forced the Germans back"
The mystery of the western opera
ton is complicated by the news from
Berlin, which ignores General Won
Kluck's efforts on the German rigat
while indicating that the German at
tack on Verdun is proceeding success
fully.
Official thanks conveyed to tha Ba-
varian Sixth corps seem to Indicate
that that army is merely expected to
prevent the sending of allied rein
forcements northward. II the German
attack on the southerly exposure of
the Verdun forts, assisted by the great
siege guns, succeeds the complete in
vestment of Verdun will ensue.
Situation Becoming Obscure.
The situation along the Russian
borders is becoming as obscure as
are the western operations. Berlin
reports that the victory of General
Won Hindenburg will clear East Prus-
at Petrograd declare that it is in
credible that the Russians would give
up the investment of Koenigsberg I'M
less suffering greater disaster than
that which has been reported. In
Russian Poland the Russians still
seem to be successful, while operat-
ing against the Austrians alone, but
they are making less impression on
the combined Austro-German armies
on the River Vistula. The stand be-
ing made on the Vistula has caused
several military experts at Petrograd
to assert that German reinforcements
from France are being sent to Galicia
instead of to East Prussia as was at
first reported. s.
This is done, according to the opin-
ion of these experts, because Germany
feared that an overwhelming dtsas-
ter of the Austrian forces might lead
| the dual monarchy to conclude peace.

A Glover State.

Minnesota is also known to be one
of the leading clover states of the
union.
In 1910 the state was credited
with 1890 acres of alfalfa.
In 1913 there were about 5000
acres Of the same forage. In 1914
this had been increased to nearly
$4,000 acres. In every county and
in nearly every township some al
falfa is being grown successfully.
Minnesota then, has corn, clover
and alfalfa. But the state needs
more of all three, and the time is at
hand to, do big thing to increase
the corn product. The state will
probably plant 100000 acres of
corn in 1915. Good seed will mean
at least 100000 bushels more of
corn, or bushels to the acre. To
get this increase, 100000 bushels Of
home grown seed corn should be gar
NEEDED this fall, and be selected from
the standing corn in the field in Seed
Corn Week, Sept. 14-19. It will re-
quire about 100000 days work to
pick and store this seed corn careful
ly, or about two days from each farm.
Two days spent now during Seed
Corn Week Sept. 1419 will mean 100
bushels more corn next year on the
20 acres of corn on each farm, worth
at least $50. Can you afford to work
for $25 day? You can!
There is a Reason.
1. BY selecting seed corn during
Seed Corn Week you will get seed
that will mature in normal years.
This is very important where the
season is limited.
@. Your seed corn will have a
chance to dry out before freezing
weather. Severe frosts will de-
stroy the terminating power Of the
seed if it is not thoroughly dry.
8. selecting early from stand
ing stalks in the field, the character
of the stalk may be considered and
ears can be selected from normal
