CLEARING OF LAND
IN MINNESOTA Is A
BIG JOB FOR FARMERS

Eveleth, Mimi. June 25.-Charac-
terizing the clearing Of land in north
ern Minnesota as the biggest job
ahead Of US today. Charles s. g Garter tss
northern half Of the state. reminded
the Northern Minnesota Development
association delegates in convention
here that the clearing of land lis the
one and only method of giving con-
tinued and additional prosperity to
the rural and urban communities and
to the business and professional men
therein"
Mr.. Carter talked from the stand
point Of the individual settler: from
the standpoint of a country or COM
munity which seeks to aid the settler
and hasten the development Of farms
in its locality. and on land clearing
in northern Minnesota as q statewide
proposition. His subject was How to
Clear Land"
sThe individual home seeker" said
Mr.. Carter. who eventually settles
upon a tract of cutover land in north
ern Minnesota usually does 50 because
he has investigated conditions in the
Dakotas, Montana, the Pacific o
states and Canada. where he found
the following conditions: h Dakota
and Montana crop years are some
what uncertain: land is high priced
and the cost Of building material fuel
and fencing makes heavy inroads in
the capital of the average homeseek-
er.
$50 he seeks for a country where
his modest capital can bring the
greatest return. He investigates north
ern Minnesota and finds conditions
and facts as follows: That the soil
consists Of a rich clay soil with q
clay subsoil. with some stretches of a
more sandy character, but all Is won-
derfully fertile, raising great clover
and potato crops-the best In the
United States.
HE finds northern Minnesota fast
becoming the greatest dairy region In
for all he can produce. He finds the
social conditions are such that it is
a fit place to bring his wife and fam
lily. He finds that the state of Mime
sofa has provided ample educational
facilities. rural and consolidated
schools throughout the country; good
roads are rapidly being pushed thru
all Of the vacant areable lands.
HI finds he. cal secure a tract OF
land at a very reasonable. price-ap-
proximately $50 an acre., that he can
get five to ten years to pay for the
same at a ow rate Of interest. He
finds he can build. a log house or get
lumber from a nearby settlers. mill
at one-fourth the cost Of building on
the prairie; that he needs make no
outlay OF cash for fuel and fence
posts. that. these can be obtained
right on his land. 30 u prospect be-
comes a reality and we have another
settler in northern Minnesota"
The convention will adjourn to-
night.
