Members of this club are unusually
fortunate. in the location of their
community. Its center is six miles
north from Bemidji on a good road
and it lays parallel to the Red Lake
railroad, most of the farmers being
only a mile or two from a spur on
that line This affords the very best
market facilities possible and with
the splendid cooperative marketing
methods in use mark this community
as one of the most desirable in the
country.
After attending a meeting of the
Northern Farmers club it is difficult
to understand how a settlement of
farmers can get along without the
advantages'5of a progressive and &C.
tive farmers club. reports Bemidji
resident who visited the club meeting
Saturday.
