MINNESOTA is PROSPEROUS
This Is Shown in Number of Banks
and Aggregate Deposits.


and Aggregate Deposits.
During the last decade Minnesota's
banking business has grown very
rapidly. This is shown both in the
increase in the number of banks and
in the rapid expansion of bank re-
sources. At the present time the ma
tional bank resources of Minnesota
represent one-fortieth of all the ma
tional bank resources in the United
States. Similarly the deposits in Min
nesota national banks represent more
than one-thirty-flfth of the total depos-
its in all the national banks of the
United States.
This rapid growth has not taken
place at the expense of stability or
safety In Minnesota banking business.
Failures are practically unknown.
This condition Of safety is to be ex-
planned partly in the nature of Mime
sofa banking business and partly in
the methods Of supervision. All the
banks are examined at least twice a
year. Published statements, that are
authoritative regarding the resources
and liabilities of any bank, enable
the public to watch it's development
and general condition from time to
time

MINNESOTA fine FOR
LIVE STOCK RAISING

Minnesota is particularly adapted
for the rearing of live stock. The
combination of live stock and general
farming offers. the best means of
utilizing the crops which can here be
grown in such abundance. This kind
Of farming also affords the highest
cash returns on the investment and
keeps the land in the highest state of
fertility.
Live stock farming is especially de.
sirable in the early stages of farming
in timbered section. The brush, or
cutover, land can be utilized for pas.
ture quite as readily as can the open
prairies, and revenue is thus OBJ
tanned that otherwise is wasted. The
dairy COW will make quite as many
pounds of milk on the $40 an acre
stump pasture as she will on $500 an
acre prairie land. Live stock can also
be pastured on this stump land and
it will help to clear the land and pay
living expenses from the beginning.
The pasture season in Minnesota is
usually longer IMAM IL is IN iowa and
Illinois. There are no summer drouths
here such as are Experienced farther
south and lush pasture exists from
early spring until snow flies in the
fall. Pasture is usually available
about May 1, and it is not at all un.
common to have continuance of
green feed until Nov. 1. This long
pasture season is a great asset in
stock feeding Good tame pasture in
Minnesota will support cow or steer
to the acre, something possible in but
few localities.
The climate and soil conditions in
Minnesota are we'll suited to the pro.
duction of live stock. A number OF
the most noted herds of pure bred
stock, including the famous Meadow.
lawn Shorthorn cattle which for years
have been grand champions at the In.
ternational Live Stock Exposition, are
products of this state. Ringmaster,
the most noted Shorthorn bull ever
produced in this country and valued
at over $4,000, is product of
Stearns county.

at less than SIS per acre; neither can
1t be sold for less than the appraised
value, which is usually quite liberal
when compared with the actual value
of the land. Fifteen per cent of the
purchase price must be paid in cash
at the date of sale; the balance may
run forty years at per cent interest.
There are no requirements for set
Element or improvement on these
lands, but the interest on deferred pay
ments must be paid in advance, from
the date of sale to the following June
The revenues from the sale of these
lands go to the different public school
funds, and the principal must be kept
intact for the use of future genera
tons.
The aggregate amount of these diff
ferent funds has already reached up
wards OF $25, 100000, and it is expect
ed that the amount realized from the
sale Of the remaining lands and royal
ties on iron ore owned by the state
will ultimately reach $200,000,000.

but the mineral rights on state lands
are reserved by the state, and can
not be secured by any one. No i'm
provements of any character have
been made on either government or
state lands. The state lands remain
ing are largely covered with a growth
of timber on brush. The appraised
valuation of the land is from IS to SO

price on over 100000 acres sold in
1911 was $6.e2 per acre.
WILD LANDS.
In speaking of "Wild Lands" in Mir
nesota we are referring to lands
which have gone into the hands Of
railroad corporations, private corpo-
rations and individual ownership. For
many years large portions of these
lands were withheld from settlement
But recently they are being placed on
the market. 1t is estimated that
there are 100000 acres of lands of
this class, which can be purchased at
low prices and on easy terms. They
are prairie lands, 'cutover" timber
lands, brush lands, and mixed prairie
and timber. A large percentage of
these lands are in the northern coun-
ties. Prices on these lands range
from IS to SIS per acre, according to
quality and proximity to market.

TATO GROWING STATE,

Minnesota is one of the important
potato producing states of the Union.
According to United States govern

MINNESOTA LAND PRICES
COMPARATIVELY LOW.

In 1914 the average value of
land in Minnesota was $46 per
acre; in Iowa it was 1886 per
acre, and in Illinois $10S.13,
more than twice as much, in
each case, as in Minnesota. AS
these prices 100 acres-which
in Iowa would cost $15,360 and
in Illinois could be
bought in Minnesota for 1880.

MINNESOTA HAS MANY
RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGES.

Practically all church de-

the rural sections of Mime

sections of the state colonial
ton of certain districts has
been carried on by some of the
different denominations, but
in the newer sections of the
state virtually all denomina-

nearly every community the
farmer can find such religious
advantages as he may desire.
