The Redwood Gazette
Redwood Falls, Mimi,
Dear Editor and Friends:
In my trip across the central
states of the western continent
nothing struck me so significant
ly as the fact that the people of
the upper Mississippi valley are
truly living midst "Acres of
Diamonds" And Redwood coun-
ty is indeed the best of them all.
[ have not seen better crops,
better farms and homes, or bet
ter situated cities and towns
since I left Redwood Falls a
month ago.
No Displays for State
Whether the people of Red
wood county realize this fact or
not am very much in doubt. At
the Exposition in San Francis
CO, Minnesota was conspicuous
by her absence of displays and
exhibits. Except for a few small
exhibits from the Messaba Iron
Range. I saw nothing to indi-
cate that Minnesota was on the
map.
Everybody Boosts
Out here in California the peo-
pie are all boosters. They do
not have the resources that Min
nesota enjoys. They are labor
ing under difficult circumstances
for believe me when | say that
it is easier to get the water off
the land than it is to get it on;
yet one and all they get behind
their state and boost. A strang-
err coming to California hears
nothing, sees nothing, is told
nothing; save that California is
the one garden spot of the world.
She has wonderful exhibits at
the exposition and every county
in the state endeavors with
might and main TO OuLdO Cne
other counties in way of display.
Need Them Here
It is just such boosters that
Minnesota needs, men who rea-
lie that they are living in the
best state in the Union and want
the world to know it. Let us
all get behind our State, our
county, our city or town and
push. We have everything in
the world to back us. Let us
welcome the newcomer to our
and make him glad that
he chose to come to our coun-
ty, and regard that man only
with pity who leaves Redwood
County for something better.
Sincerely yours,
EARLE D. MCKAY.

Strong for Minnesota

F. E. Powell, who is spending
his second season as a Mime
sofa farmer, is enthusiastic in
his belief in Redwood County
as a farming community. Mr..
Powell is now in the midst Of his
harvest of small grains and says
he is positive he never had such
good oats with such generous
yield as this year, and his other
grains are almost equally salts
factory. AS Mr.. Powell came to
Redwood County direct from one
of the best farming districts of
Illinois, his opinion is a source
of much satisfaction to the land
owners of the county. C. G..
King, another farmer who al
lowed himself to be transplant
ed from Illinois to Redwood, is
firm in his conviction that Min
nesota is the ideal state for
farmers and has firm faith that
the 1915 harvest will justify the
prediction of a bumper small
grain crop. While neither of
these former Illinoisians will ad-
NIT that Minnesota is the great
est corn state in the Union, they
do believe that by planting both
small grains and corn the Min
nesota man is bound to win out.
Mr.. King has been a resident of
the county for several years
while this is the second year of
Mr. PoWell's residence here,
