PLUMS.
That the soil of this section is
first-class for raising fruit has been
demonstrated by l.. P. Anderson, who
owns a farm in the northwestern
limits of the city of Bemidji, which
farm has been chosen by the experts
of the Minnesota Agricultural college
as state demonstration farm. Mr..
Anderson has plum orchard en-
bracing 2 1-2 acres. There are 1880
plum trees in this orchard. From
those 1890 trees 900 bushels of fine
'plums were taken. A branch nine
teen inches long one tree was weighed
down with 106 large luscious plums.
The plums were sold for 81 per
bushel, netting Mr.. Anderson, about
$4,000. Thirteen varieties of plums
are being raised ON the Anderson
farm, as follows: Cheney, forest, gar
den, ocheda, weaver, stoddard,, spear,
atkins, desota, surprise, wyant, wolf,
compass cherry (cross between cherry

Water. r..
The water in Northern Minnesota
is pure and soft. Good drinking wa
ter in open wells can usually be OBJ
tanned at a depth of from IA to 80
feet. There are also thousands of
springs, the water from which shows
in analysis to be practically perfect
from the standpoint of purity and
medicinal value. Spring water in
several sections has distinct thera-
peutic value. There is no difficulty
whatever in getting the very best
and purest of we'll water, soft and
free from undesirable flavor or al
kali. There is always abundant rain
fall during the summer and fall
months. Statistics show the average
rainfall to be about 81 inches. r.
rigation and dry farming methods are
unheard Of The precipitation is
quite evenly distributed throughout
the growing season, there usually be-
ing timely rains both after the seed
ing season and during the summer
months. On account of the regular
rainfall summer drouths are unknown
in this section, and crop failures have
been unknown up to this time. In
! the winter months there is usually
an abundance of snow. This snow is
usually distributed Through the win-
ter months, and there are never se-
