IL Happens So

When I was boy knew a boy who
didn't appear to amount to much;
work was a thing that he didn't en-

would seldom touch. Every one said.

riches would never be his, he would
sink, they thought, into useless ways,
and there is exactly where he is.-Ex-

Many inquiries are still coming in
to the New Settlers association in re-
gard to the sale Of land in the Thief
River valley. Most of these Inquiries
are from Iowa, Illinois. South Dako-

there are a number from residents
OF the twin cities. Four prospective
buyers have come to the county re-

new settlers arrive in this territory
in the fall Of 1922. During the sum-
mer months farmers are busy harvest
ing their crops and do not have time
to look for new locations, but after
the harvesting and threshing season is
over the New Settlers association ex-
poets a good movement towards this
locality.
Many buyers are planning on visit
ing the eastern part of Pennington
and Marshall counties where land can
be secured at very reasonable prices.
Here there are many thousands of
acres ready for the pillow, which is q

where there is a large expense in

GOOD POTATOES ONLY
With a Large Surplus Soon to bt
Dumped on the Market, Spllds of
Inferior Quality will not Sell

Mr.. F. A. Green, of Stephen, passed
thru this morning from CrOOkston
where he attended meeting of pota-
to growers last night The potato
situation is such this year, says Mr.
Green, that it behooves every grower
to use great care in sorting his tubers
removing all small and defective ones
and shipping only good, select stock
There promises to be a surplus of DO
'tatOes in the market and only the best
will. find buyers. Potatoes of a poor
grade will very likely have no buyers
or if sold the prices will be so low
that it will not cover freight charges
hence will result in great loss to the
shipper.
Furthermore, the Red River Valley
will be brought to the test this year
to keep its reputation as the grower
of the famous Red River Valley brand
Of Early Ohios. Many new growers
have entered the list as potato raisers
this year and many of them lack the
experience of the old growers. For
that reason I the, quality is apt to be
greatly mixel. It would be poor policy
to- endanger the valleys reputation for
good potatoes by shipping inferior
stock, nor will it pay even temporarily
to- do so. =
= A meeting of potato growers will
probably be called to be held at Ste.
phen in the near future to discuss
matters pertaining to the potato in.
