The collection of amateur pictures
which have been On exhibit at the
Library the past week have received
much approval. Everyone who saw
them enjoyed examining them. Very
favorable comments were made about
all of them and about the quality and
variety of the whole collection. Some
people were especially interested in
hitherto unrealized possibilities. of
getting really fine pictures of places
in this region. Others were glad Of
the chance to see pictures of places
farther away, as Yellowstone, Cali
fornia and Washington, while the
ranch pictures were naturally a great
attraction. The Library appreciates
the interest Of all those contributing,

The new consolidated distric!
has built one of the best-equip
ped buildings in the state al
Lamberton, which is about ready
for occupancy. The high schools
at Redwood Falls and Lamber-
ton have excellent normal train
ing departments and all the high
schools in the county are doing
excellent industrial work. At
Morgan is located a fine Catho-
lie parochial school.
Most Automobiles
Redwood County is rather
proud of the fact that, in pro-
portion to it's population, it has
more automobiles than any 9th
er county in Minnesota, the num-
Der reaching 1912 in July. This
makes for the building of good
roads and many miles of state
roads have been built and gray
eled and many more miles are
already started. The majority
of the cars are owned by farm
ers, many of whom are using the
motor truck as well as the pleas
ure car.
Stock Raising
While many farms are still
devoted almost exclusively to
regular crop raising, an increas-
ing number of farmers are go
ing into stock raising extensive
ly. Many farmers spend their
winters in fattening cattle for
spring marketing, usually feed
ing anywhere from one to five
carloads at a time. Others show
a great interest in dairying and
pure bred dairy herds are be-
coming frequent all over the
county. The past season has
been absolutely free from any
returns of hog cholera and the

that it is just nice started in it's
growth and development and
that by 1920 Mr.. Hills figures
will look small.
Area and Soil
Redwood County has an area
Of nearly 900 square miles or
572,052 acres, nearly all tillable,
of a deep rich loan over a clay
subsoil. The county is practi-
cally all a gently sloping prairie,
well drained by the Minnesota,
Redwood and Cottonwood Riv-
ers. Fine crops of small grains
are raised and the county is rap
idly becoming one of the fore
most in the state in corn grow
ing. Farmlands range in price
from $75 to $3.50 according to
the improvements and the prox-
unity to market. Within a hum
dred miles of the Twin Cities
the Redwood County producer
has good market advantages
Population and Wealth
In 1914 the population of the
county was approximately 49,
900, representing nearly all ma
tionalities, the largest majority,
however, being native Ameri-
cans. The assessed valuation of
property was S38,000,O00, MAX
ing each man, woman and child
worth $4,000 and an average
acreage to each person Of four
acres. Property valuation and
population have both increased
during the last year, keeping
the proportions practically the
same. The twenty-five banks
show an annual deposit of 3d.
100000.
