records ditch liens have been filed to
! the amount of $2,7O0,00O.OO after
damage allowance have been deducted
and it is estimated that there are over
/ FIVE hundred miles of open. and tile
bitches in the county at the present
time making Redwood County one OF
the best drained counties in the state
of Minnesota.
Rainfall and Soil
The rainfall of the county has a
yearly average of "a inches with 70
to so per cent of this falling during
the growing season. The soil of Red
wood County is black loan surface
on all the prairie portion of the coun-
ty, which runs into a brown sand
surface along the streams, all being
underlain with clay. In some portions
of the county such as the soil that is
found along the bluffs of the Mime
sofa River, a, very fine sand crop out
in places. This is also true of por-
lions of the Redwood river. There
soils carry very high percentage of
mineral matter and while they are not
regarded as heavy soil they are very
fertile and are much easier to handle

While the fruit industry is one of
minor Importance, it is growing year
by year. Last year forty five acres
were devoted to small fruits and 49,
900 quarts were produced. There are
5O,288 orchard fruit trees which pro-
duce 16,340 bushels of fruit. All
farmers are planting trees and laying
aside plots on their farms for or
chards.
The county is recognized as being
we'll advanced in the class of improve
ments.. The majority of the farms are
modern in every respect 63 of them
having their own farm electric plants.
The large barns, machinery and fences
are of the latest type. Redwood
County has 249 silos, and 1853 tractors
are used in cultivating the soil./
1t is estimated that there is room
for at least 900 more farmer families
in this county, and for those who wish
to work and live while they work and
get returns commensurate with their
efforts, Redwood County holds out
opportunities which will attract the
most particular.
Next weeks article, will take up
dairying in Redwood County and a
history of the dairying industry in
the state of Minnesota.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1923-11-28

According to the most dependable
statistics available the total crop
value of Redwood County for the
past year was $5,333 ,088.87. OF this
total corn ranks first the annual pro-
duction being valued at $2,732, 249.52.
Oats rank second with total value
of $1,257, 347.52. Rye ranks third
with value of sos, 854.20. Wild hay
fourth with value of 1886, so.
Wheat fifth with value of 1926, $685.
95. Barley being sixth with value
of $171 ,113.18. Other grains and for
age raised on a lesser scale making
up the balance Of the total crop value.
Hay an Important Crop
The forage crops play an important
part and augment the development of
the dairying and stockraising in
dustry. In this respect Redwood
County is well situated as both tame
and wild hay grow profusely. Last
year there were 52,196 acres devoted
to forage crops, $3.50 acres of which
were in wild hay. The remaining
16,346 acres were seeded to clover and
timothy, with an acreage of 1908
acres; Alfalfa with 339 acres; and
other hay crops with an acreage Of
1,019 acres. A concerted effort is be-
ing made to encourage the growing
of more alfalfa in recognition of its
value as an aid in developing the
dairying industry. The soil analysis
of this county shows it is particularly
well adapted to the growing of this
greatest of all dairy forage and the
acreage devoted to it is increasing at
the rate of approximately 100 per
cent each year.
The Drainage Projects
Drainage has played an important
part in the development of agriculture
in Minnesota. At the close of the
last glacial epoch, many thousands OF
years ago, the great ice mass cover
ing the surface of the land gradually
melted, leaving behind it great river
system, known as the Mississippi and
many lakes and swamps, the water in
these being retained by large masses
of loosely packed earth and powders,
called moraines. This heritage, of so
great value in many ways, has been
a disadvantage in few others.
Swampy land resulted which can be
used neither for agriculture nor for
pleasure purposes and consequently
there arose the necessity for drain
age.
In Redwood County nearly half the
farms now receive the benefits of ar
tificial drainage there being over 100
ditch projects in this county at the
present time. These bitches benefit
over 1900 farmers and add greatly
to the number of tillable acres in the
county.
The first work along Nthese lines
was completed in 1907 and since that
time there has been rapid increase
in the number of ditch surveys made
until now Redwood County has "a
county bitches and 26 judicial bitches
either completed or under construc-
ton. There is large amount OF
this work yet to be done as much
of the wild hay land lying in the lower
areas is plowed up during the dry
seasons and planted to crops. Thus
when the wet seasons come on the
farmers are unable to till this ground
unless it is properly drained.

Il
from southern Europe, he said, and
added that the United States should
select the immigrants, taking only
those desiring to become citizens.
Congressman Clague said he does
not favor a high tariff. Cooperative
marketing with government assist
ance to help equalize the prices in diff
ferent parts of the country was sug-
gested as an aid in the present farm
situation.
Opposition to the movement to ma
tionalize our educational system, GEN.
tering it in Washington, was ex-
pressed by the congressman. He
wanted to give the State department
less authority, he said, and bring
more of the control of schools to To-
cal communities.

Some Vital Statistics
Redwood County was created Feb
ruary 9Th, 1862, it has an approx
mate area of 563,840 acres of which
525,074 are divided into 2,548 farms
of 206.1 acres average size which are
operated by 1909 owners and 1,O39
renters. More than three fourths OF
the county is till plain, with black
clay loan, standing 200 feet above
the Minnesota river valley, which
marks its northeastern border. Sew
eral moraines of brown to black peb-
bly, clay loan make up most of the bal
ance.
The county is so situated geograph-
ically that all the crop products which
are native to the temperate zone grow
and mature profusely. The major
crops are corn, oats, wheat, barley
and rye, cereals are grown on 224,-
S36 acres of the counties lands OF this
7O.63O acres are planted to corn; IT,
893 acres to oats; 51,491 acres to
wheat; 6,712 acres to barley; 1910
acres to rye.
Redwood County produces approxi-
inately 1,985,478 bushels of corn an
nually with an average yield per acre
of 2S bushels. Corn is, assuming a
n. re = lportant position each year
which is as it should be for the agrl-
cultural future of Redwood County
seems towards dai'ying and stock
raising as the most profitable enter
prise.
Oats for grain is an important crop
in this county, having the largest
acreage of all the grain crops, corn
being 9econd, last year 1,6S4,O22
bushels were produced.
= Whe5.t is the third most important
crop and there was approximately
321,075 bushels produced last year
with an average of only 6 bushels to
the a. J.
Barley is a fairly important crop
and there was approximately 72,747
bushels produced last year, the acre
yield being about IL bushels.
Orb crops grown in the county are
rye. fax, potatoes, and sugar beets.
The latter Industry which was first
started in Redwood County four years
ago has shown a rapid increase in
acreage there being $50 acres devoted
to this crop this year in the northern
part of the county. Owing to the
linited capacity of the Minnesota
Sugar Company's mill at Chaska,
MINI. This acreage cannot be in
creased at the present time. How
ever new mill is being erected in
East Grand Forks which will utilize
the output of the Red River valley
district, thus allowing a greatly in
&reased acreage to be devoted to beet
raising in Redwood County. Chem
;cal tests made at the mills show that
! the soil in this county is well adapted
to the successful raising OF sugar
beets and that the percentage OF
sugar upon which the value OF the
beets depend, is about 20 per cent
from those produced in this locality.

TWO GAME SERIES BEGINS ON BERRY FIELD WEDNESDAY,
Bulldog Outfits Start Game At East Lake At 3
 O'clock

With memories of a sound thrash ing administered to it in football the Howard College Bulldog is primed for its go with Union University Wednesday afternoon at o'clock on Berry Field. The Union eleven gave the Bulldog grid team good lick ing last fall on Redwood Field and the Bulldog is out for revenge with blood in it's eye.
 The Union team got into the city Wednesday morning and seem to be in good condition for their games here this week. The have strong combination of baseball players that will give the Howard nine run for their money. The Tennessee team las been going good this season hay ing beaten Birmingham Southern College among it's other opponents. They are playing heavy schedule and say that they have one of the best teams the college has put out.
 Howard has been working hard for the past week or more. They will be in good condition for their game Wednesday afternoon. Ham" Stevens will probably start for the Bulldogs in which case the Unionists are more than likely all set for a good drubbing for Ham" is one of the best little twirlers in college cir cles in this neck of the woods. He gave a good exhibition of pitching Fd game of the Cadet Bulldog series by striking out 17 Marion batsmen. He will in addition have good fielding team behind him.
 The same lineup that has ap reared in previous contests will probably start this afternoon. Al ford will do the receiving with Grisgs on first. Dawson on second. Lackey at short. and Brindley on third. In the outfield Garfield. Shell ton anG Runyon will do the defen- sive work
 The Union crew have fairly good staff of pitchers and good fielding crew. They are also pretty fair batsmen It Is very likely th ouPh that they will not have much charce with the Bulldogs with Ham" going good unless they outfield the Bull dogs and hold the score down to the uear-Zero mark.
