land you can afford 10 pasture for a

to use easllage for summer feed tc
any great extent, fancy.
Cropping rotation has a bearing on
the social side Of farming also. A com.
munity where live stock is kept and
where crop rotation Is followed is
usually a much more permanent
neighboTkood than one where rota,
tfon ia not prBeticed and live stock liz
kept caiy in limited number. There
Is neighhoriy interest In seeing how
the stock Ia doing and whether the
neignbcr is getting better results than
the visitor, In this way it tends to
bring about great deal OF social in,
tercoursa that I'm the winter at !east is
very valuable TO any community.
Northern Minnesota Offers an en-.
ealient opportunity for mixed farming
and particularly In my judgment, foi
the production OF dairy and meat
products. With a balanced cropping
system where cora. clover end live
stock are put In proper relation to
grain production, nortaern Minnesota
farmers should make good progress
and the country develop into pros
porous region Of happy homes. The
fLcillties OF the climate, soil and crop.
ping possibilities are all here, I'm my
opinion. and the settler has only to
arrange them In proper order and give
reasonable care to make his farming
operations complete success"
