EXPERIMENT
STATION At CLOQuET

The work being done at the. for
estry experiment station at Cloquet
under the direction of the University
of Minnesota, to solve the problems
involved in making profitable the
lands in northern Minnesota which
are not adapted to agriculture
aroused enthusiasm among the farm
journal editors and agricultural ex-
pertinent station men who visited
the station Wednesday, July 26.
The party of visitors was, perhaps,
most interested in reports of a sur
vey being made by T. S. Hansen of
the forestry station, to determine the
character and extent of the second
growth on the cut-over lands, and
the nature of the soils, as a means
of guidance in future work for the
reforestation through the whole re-
gion. The guests of the station were
interested to learn that the second
growth which is now coming on rap
idly already has a commercial value,
and holds an increasing potential
value. Most of the new growths are
of hardwood and may furnish valu-
able raw material for manufacturing
purposes if properly handled. The
visitors were further interested in
knowing that there are large areas
in northern Minnesota, the soils of

COOK COUNTY ROAD BUILDING
PROGRESSING SATISFACTORILY

In few weeks the contract will
be let for the construction of road
from Grand Marais to the Brule east.
At the beginning of. the north shore
road building this stretch of road
was the best we had, so it was nat
urally left till the last. 1t is mar
row and the new construction, which
will keep close to the present trail,
will be a welcome substitute. This
information we CLEANED from a con-
versation with Engineer J. e. Smith
today.
The county now will also do some
work inside cf the village.
Work to the north is progressing
and by next Saturday night will be
passable for cars clear through to
Hungry Jack. With Hungry Jack be-
ing accessible vast amount of terri
tory is opened up for canoe travel.
The real meaning of opening up the
road thus far north is hardly realized.
1t is a wonderful advance in helping
to open up the county. The county
commissioners, County Auditor Leng
and Engineer J. E. Smith made q
trip of inspection to Hungry Jack
lake yesterday.
And the road from Mineral Center
to Grand Portage which was opened
up last fall is another recent achieve
ment which is we'll to keep in mind.
Grand Portage is of considerable his

now being made by the State Histor-
ical Society at the site of the old

profitably, and that the state was
interested in developing such soils
to their full capacity as a means of
maintaining great woodworking
industry. Back of this general move
ment, they were told, was a growing
sentiment throughout the region in
favor of reforestry, as means of
supplying raw material for wood
working factories such as now exist
at Cloquet and other places, which
will continue to provide markets
right at home for the products of
areas which may be farmed success

ling pines and evergreens of various
sorts was carried on They also saw
