HEALTHY FARM GROWTH HERE

According the last census, "a states increased
of their farms during the past ten years,
and "a states show decrease. The gain in the whole
country only 87,287 farms or 1.21 per cent.
Minnesota, however, has 1858 farms in 1920, as
against 156137 in 1910, a gain of 22451 in the ten
years. 14.31 per cent.
Minnesota ranks tenth in the per cent of gain, the
only states that exceed her being Montana Wyoming,
Idaho California, Colorado, Utah, Washington Nevada,
and Arizona
Minnesota leads all the Northwestern state except
Montana.
Mnnesota's gain is in fact about &c cent of the
gain made by the entire nation.
Stevens county did better than the average of
Minnesota.
In Stevens county, the number of farms increased
from 1915 in 1910 to 1853 in 1920 gain of 148,
or 1853 per cent
This denotes healthy development of farms in
Stevens county indicates that the average farm in
Stevens county has decreased from little over
300 to about 262
When country is new the average size of the farm
is about acres-the size of government homestead
Then comes period when the original homesteader
out and the smaller farms consolidated into
larger farms, into bonanza farms. Then
comes a period when under intensive cultivation, the
smaller and smaller farms become the rule Stevens
county has definitely entered that period.

Wheaton Gazette-Reporter-Daily,
or rather, nightly, at least three cars
of Canadian booze with desperate
men at the wheel go thru Wheaton,
south bound, on the King of Trails,
according to garage men and others
who watch the high-powered cars
streak thru town. Sometimes they
stop at a garage for gas but never
when the officers of the law are near.
One driver was so bold, says garage
employee, that he left a car loaded
with booze in local garage all night.
The employee had occasion to move
the car and the tinkle of bottle
against bottle caused him to in
vestigate and find that the car was
heavily loaded with the Illicit pro-
duct.
Booze cars usually travel in groups
of three. High powered sixes( whis-
key-sixes) are used. The first car
usually carries no liquor. If officers
are discovered on the lookout he
