| farms, and that time is rapidly
approaching, farm acreages will
at once soar to prices equalline
those of the highest priced lands
in the country.
Minnesota lands lie we'll with
in the northern temperate zone
The four seasons, spring, sum-
mer, fall and winter are well
marked and defined and all the
gorgeous glories of each are pro-
duced in highest perfection, and
the climate conditions for high
est and most perfect vegetable,
animal and human growth and
development are the finest in
the world.
The health attributes of Min
nesota are known throughout
the realms of civilization. Fever
and ague, the shakes" that
were the life bane to the early
settlers of Indiana, Illinois and
some parts of Iowa are unheard
of; malaria is unknown and cpl
demic diseases like cholera, yell
low fever and other tropical
plaques never visit us. It is a
common thing for invalids from
other states, suffering from va
rious ailments, to renew their
youth, health and vitality by
drinking the pure water of Min
nesota and inhaling the life-giv-
ing ozone of it's peerless atmos-
phere. The whole state can be
truthfully termed vast health
resort.
There is fertilization in the
air as well as in the soil and all
products indigenous to the re-
gion grow and ripen in perfec-
tion. Grains, fruits and vege-
tables grown in the state, have
taken sweepstakes prizes at
thousands of fairs and agricul-
tural shows exhibited in compe-
tition with those of other states.
Minnesota stock and dairy prod
ucts are national standards of
excellence and the physicality of
her native born, homegrown
people is equal to that of any
country in the world.
The surface of the state is
such that 95 per cent of it's

honey, clover seed, timothy seed,
alfalfa seed.
All these products were pro-
duced on one farm and ataprofit,
and the possibilities Of diversi-
/ fication were by no means ex-
hausted. By this method a con-
tinuous revenue was secured.
Not a single day in the year but
this farm produced something
that could be turned into ready
money. Every time this farmer
went to town, when he came
away some one in the town owed
him something instead of his
owing somebody in town for
farm supplies. There are 300,-
900 farms, occupied and unoccu-
pied, in the state where this per-
formance could be duplicated.
Minnesota has been aptly
termed, ''The land of continuous
agricultural income"
Farming operations are car
ried on in Minnesota under nat
ural conditions. The farmer is
not compelled to reduce his
profits by paying high water
rent to some soulless corpora
tion for moisture to promote
growth; neither need he stake
his labor, time and cash on the
uncertain results of dry farm
ing. The Lord supplies the mois-
ture to grow the crops and there
has never been a draught fail
ure since the first pioneer set
tier moved into the state. Crops
are as certain as the seasons.
Minnesota offers unparalleled
market facilities to her settlers.
In the south central portions of
the state are the cities of ST.
Paul and Minneapolis, great rail
road centers, with through trunk
lines radiating into every part
Of the country. The huge pack
ing plants located in South St.
Paul, clamorous for meat sup
plies. To the north, Duluth with
it's mighty steel plant, employing
thousands of workmen, and
backed by the great non-food-
producing but immense food
consuming population of the
iron ranges, all reaching out for
the food products Of Minnesota
farms, constituting a competi-
tive market, which assures the
husbandman the top market
price for his products of every
conceivable kind, and market
that will constantly grow better
as the years pass by.

the business interests of the
country and he can instantan-
eously obtain the worlds mar
ket quotation.
In these modern times recrea-
tion is considered necessary
part Of life. Out of door vaca-
tions appeal very strongly to
most people and out of door
sports are healthful, interesting,
exhilerating and beneficial. Min
nesota is the ideal vacation
ground; her lakes and streams
furnish the finest fresh water
fishing on the continent; prairie
chickens, partridges, rabbits,
quails, squirrels and other small
game are found in almost every
locality; big game, moose, bear
and deer can be reached from
any part of the state in three
days journey, and in most cases
a much shorter period; thou
sands of farms have lying with
in a rifle shot Of their farm
houses hunting, fishing, bathing
and boating privileges, free as
air, that many blase city mil
lionaire would gladly paya thou
sand dollars annually to enjoy.
There are few localities where
work and pleasure are found in
such close proximity.

at international Falls. Little

it right here in Minnesota and
and hoe agriculture he can do
secure as large financial re-
turns, have a better climate to
work in, and or land costing
about one-tenth as much as it
does in a good, excessively early
market region and he need not
putter around in muddy irriga-
tion bitches in order to secure
these results either.
In educational matters Mime
sofa stands pre-eminent among
the states, especially in the edu-
cational opportunities afforded
rural residents. Consolidated
schools are rapidly becoming
general, whereby all the advan-
tages Of a city high school are
brought to the farmers door.
Our University ranks with the
leading universities of the coun-
try. The State Agricultural Col
lege, experimental farms and
branch agricultural schools fur
nish training in scientific agri-
culture to all who may desire the
same. Six Normal Schools in
which the tuition is free supply
an ample force of trained and
competent teachers. There are
a large number of sectarian and
Independent colleges and acade-
mics and opportunities for any
and all kinds of educational
training are plentiful and with
in the reach of all.
The state has the largest
school fund of any in the Union,
except Texas, and makes the
largest per capita pupil distribu-
tion Of any state. This fund,
as a result Of royalties from
state-owned iron mines, is ex-
pected to reach the stupendous
sum of S2O,O0O,OO0 before many
years elapse. Minnesota's school
system is the pride Of the state
and the glory of it's citizen.
All religious denominations
are we'll represented; there is
scarcely locality that is with
out church privileges of some
kind.
The roads and highways COM
pare favorably with those Of the
older states, and under the pro-
gressve road legislation recent
ly adopted their future improve
ment will be sure and rapid.
Most of the farm homes in the
state are reached by free rural
delivery lines. The state is COW
cred with a net work of rural
telephones and the farmer has
only to pick up his telephone re-
ceiver and he is in touch with
The Redwood gazette., 1915-10-13

farms can be titled with machin-
cry without any difficulty.
In natural water supply Min
nesota excels every other state.
There are thousands of live
lakes, fed by springs or running
streams having outlets, within
her boundaries. Abundant
springs are found in many sec
tions, rivers are plentiful and
the country is threaded with in
Vulnerable creeks and brooks.
The entire state is underlaid
with a water-sand strata and
an abundant supply of pure wa
ter can be obtained in every part
of the state, where it is not nat
urally supplied, at reasonable
depth and at comparatively mod
crate expense. Flowing wells
are common in many parts of
the state.
Minnesota offers unrivaled op-
portunities for farm diversified
tion. The many different va
rieties of soil, the abundance of
water supply, the multiformity
of location, the rapidity of vege-
table growth, the plentitude of
rainfall, the favoring climate
and many other conditions that
might be mentioned enable the
Minnesota farmer to secure a
greater multiplicity of revenue
sources than in almost any 9TH
er part of the world.
In the year 1914, on quarter
section farm, located in central
Minnesota, we found the farmer
engaged in 80 lines of agricul-
ture, each one of them yielding
a money revenue. AS this state
ment has often been questioned,
we list them:
Grains Wheat, oats, corn,
barley, rye, flax, spelz.
Vegetables: Potatoes, ruta
bagas, sugar beets, onions, cab
bage, beans, celery.
Fruits s:--Apples, strawberries,
raspberries, currants.
Stock Horses, cattle, beef,
dairy products, sheep, mutton,
wool, swine.
Poultry Market fowls, eggs.
Miscellaneous HAY, tobacco,

The state of Minnesota pos
sesses all the advantages de-
sired by the wise, home seeking
farmer, who intends to operate
his own farm and who desires
land for use rather than for spec
ulation.
It's area is 1925 square miles
or 53,943,378 acres, of which
5O,435,268 acres are land sur
face and 3,508,119 are water
There are over 20,000,OOO acres
of arabic land, susceptible OF
cultivation, that yet remain in
their primitive state; that means
that there are more than 49,
900, 16O-acre farms, that will
produce abundantly of every
thing grown in northern tenn
perate climate and when placed
under a proper state of cultiva-
ton will yield as large a cash
return per acre as any in the
country.
In addition there are a large
number of improved farms, that
can be obtained at a reasonable
price, much less than equal rev.
enue producing lands can be pur-
chased elsewhere, for those who
can afford to buy them and who
do not care to expend the time
and labor to develop an improved
farm from raw lands.
The reason for this is obvious,
but not generally understood.
The reason of the comparatively
cheap price of Minnesota i'm
proved farms is not due to their
lack of advantage or revenue
producing power, but to their
proximity to the unimproved
lands which are sold at cheap
prices. The high acre prices
now prevailing in Illinois, Iowa
and other of the older states
were never attained until the
supply Of raw lands in those
states had become exhausted
and when this condition arrived
prices advanced with a rapidity
that startled the most optimis-
tic. When all the arabic, unim-
proved lands in Minnesota have
been transformed into improved
