"TIPS" FOR SETTLERS :,
IN<cUT-ovER REGIONS
Many Farmers From Other
Parts of Country Casting
Eyes in This Direction
by w. P. KirkWOOd.


editor, Office OF Publication, Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul.)
st. Paul, Dec. 3.-Many farmers in
other parts of the country are cast
ing interested eyes at the fine farm
lands Of northern Minnesota; lands
where clover, like hope in the human
breast, springs eternal. The only
reason why more interested farmers
do not move to this clover and sure
crop country is the fact that large
numbers of them are lacAlng in ex-
perience in handling such lands.
They are not quite certain that they
know just how to take hold.
For this reason some "advice to
the settler" was recently prepared by
the department of agriculture Of the
University Of Minnesota. This "ad-.
vice." based on the practical expert
ence of men in the field, first warns
against alarm at the use of the word
"settler." Occupying the lands OF
Northern Minnesota need not mean
pioneering in the old sense. It may
mean, on the contrary-"good lands
on roads near good towns, with good
schools, in good communities, and
with good neighbors." " ,s,- 3: : = =
Advice Boiled Down.
= Try to provide for from $500 to
$500 for development work after
making the first payment on the land.
II this can't be done, however, and
you are barely making a living,
move any way. - :
See the land before buying. eEx-
anime the whole tract carefully: ~
Locate on a road and not too far
from neighbors. Good land can be
found in such locations.
Eighty acres in the cut-over region
make a good farm for a man and an
average fafhf1y in which are some
boys to help. Forty acres will be
enough for man with no such help.
If funds are available without Grip
phng working capital, farm Of 100
acres should be secured.
Spring is the best time to move to
such piece of land. This gives op-
portunity to get ready for the COM
ing winter.
Only a small amount of stock
should be taken to a new farm of the
kind-from two to four good milking
cows, one team Of horses, a brood
SOW, and a few chickens.
Potatoes and vegetables of all
kinds for the home cellar, and
plenty of feed, especially roughage,
for the stock for winter should be the
aim of the first years cropping.
"A pasture should be opened by
clearing away brush and logs, disk
ing or working up the soil among the
stumps, and sowing a little clover,
timothy and blue grass seed.
If enough land is open and a mar
ket is near a small field Of potatoes
should be put in. z;
It isn't necessary to wait until
stumps are removed to put in a crop.
Often the brush can be cut and
burned,and good crops obtained
among the stumps-especialiy hay
and pasture crops.
BY the adoption of such a system
the cut-over farm can be made to
yield living while being brought, to
full development.
