M. j. Holmberg, Commissioner of Agriculture
for Minnesota submits his latest report showing
that the 1926 combined value of crops, live
stock marketed and livestock on farms was
$75O,135 900. Checking over the figures of
MIR. Holmberg's report, the investigator learns
that during the year 1926, Minnesota farmers
sold $166.008,395 worth of livestock alone.
Automatically. the breeding and selling of live
stock on Minnesota farms takes an important
place in the states productive activities in line
with flour milling and iron mining.
The Minnesc ia farmer looms large in the pic

within the borders of the state he will meet the
Minnesota farmer, solid, substantial individu-

farmer has been in the picture and on the Job
from the first beginnings of the state. and he
will be there in ever-growing numbers until
the end of the story. Today there are more
than $4,000 Minnesota farmers actively en-
gagged in agriculture in the state
This peaceful agrarian army drove into the
fields of eighty seven counties during the year
1926 and put plow and cultivator to more than
sixteen million acres of land. And when the
summers work was done, harvest completed
and final results tabulated, it was known that
this great farmer army had taken corn crop
of AZ ,662, 600 bushels, valued at $50, 6o1 900
from 4, 343 900 acres of corn land, forty-four

Minnesota offers an unusual field for profitable
occupation under exceptionally agreeable eondi-
tons. Opportunities beckon everywhere over
the state And few fields of useful activity any
where in the United States will yield greater
percentage of return than those to be found
throughout Minnesota.
The story of success in Minnesota is written
plainly in score of ways SO that he who runs
may read. Minnesota bank deposits in ten
year period have increased from something oyer
FIVE hundred million dollars to close to bill
lion dollars. and this in period of sharp read
justment following the World War Owner
ship of automobiles in fve-year period has
doubled. Minnesota residents now own 700.-
600 automobiles valued at more than $780,
100000. In addition to using their own cars,
Minnesotans during 1927 will spend five mil
lion dollars to ride in public motor BUSES.

Despite the vast amount of money spent for
automobiles, Minnesota residents manage to find
money with which to purchase homes and lake
cottages for recreational purposes. Home own
ership is increasing rapidly and during the last
five years savings bank accounts have shown
remaI able increase.
No state in the American Union offers better
or more varied opportunities for enjoyable.
healthful and profitable occupation than does
the North Star State this year of 1927. The
field is here in ample measure Thousands and
thousands of progressive individuals are finding
in the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes their land
of hearts desire and in its invigorating atmo-
sphere, with its always attractive lakeland and
woodland for recreation, are leading lives of
happy fruitfulness with no longing for the far
hills of any other region than those of the
North Star State.
Minnesota stands prominent - head and
shoulders above any other state of the American
nation-for four things:
Minnesota, first of all, has in Minneapolis
the chief -four making center of the world and
at Duluth the second largest flour manufactur-
ing center. The -four mills at Minneapolis are
the largest in the world and Minnesota leads
all other American states in the making of flour.
During the year 1926 more than $3.50 900 900
of Minnesota flour was manufactured, sold and
shipped to all quarters of the world.
Secondly Minnesota on the Vermilion, Mes
aba and Guyana iron ranges in the northeastern
section of the state, has the greatest iron mines
in the world producing more than $160,00O,-
900 of iron ore annually. A single iron mine
in Minnesota, the Mahoning- Hulbrust mine at
Hibbing, contains ore of greater value than all
the iron ore in Alsace-Lorraine. More than
sixty per cent of all the iron ore in the United
States is mined in the three great iron ranges of
northern Minnesota. The MeSaba range, 10
miles in length contains $50 active mines this
year. From forty-fve to fifty million tons of
iron ore will be shipped from Minnesota down
the Great Lakes to Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania points this year.
Minnesota's third great honor is the we'll
earned title of being the greatest butter produc-
ing state in America. Her herds of sleek Ho1-
stems, GuernseyS, and Jerseys on more than
$4,000 farms produce, in round figures, $780,
100000 of golden butter annually. The bulg-
ing silos of the dairy farmer have become pic
turesque feature of the Minnesota scene.
But greater than all of the flour, all the iron
and all the butter, the North Star State has
truly remarkable endowment of lakes, rivers,
waterfalls and woodlands. Its more than ten
thousand sparkling, clear lakes have furnished
a recreational attraction near the center of Am
erican population that has made Minnesota in
little more than decade the third greatest
tourist state in the Union. Only California and
Florida exceeded Minnesota during the year
1926 in the number of tourists entertained On

GOLF AND TENNIS
AT PENNSYLVANIA
Much Attention Given to
Games by Students.

After many years Of slight recogni-
ton, golf and tennis are occupying
great amount of attention at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
Many reasons can be ascribed for
the remarkable interest In the links
and court arts by the students, but
the most important has been the de-
velopment of II new links in tennis
and the cooperation of the golf clubs
in and about Philadelphia.
Until the completion of the IT new
courts last spring tennis at Pennsyl-
vania was obscured because Of the
lack Of playing facilities. The old
courts were crowded to capacity so
that the regular tennis team could
not get In proper practice.
With the advent of Jack Hendricks
as coach of the racket wielders and
the tremendous turnout of candidates
tennis has reached an important stage
in its development at the university.
After weeks Of practice on the in
door and outdoor courts, Hendricks
has selected the following to repre-
sent Pennsylvania John Millen.
Milton Hofkin, William Kraft, Bob
Lingelbach, Wesley Stranger, Francis
Sowersby and Charles Roth.
The easy victory scored by the golf
team over Green Valley, strong club
aggregation, gives rise to the belief
that Pennsylvania will be- strong
contender for the team and individual
championships. The veteran clubmen
proved no match for the youthful col
legians, several of whom finished their
Is holes in the late seventies.
The brilliant showing of Rodney
Coltart, son of the pro at the Phila-
delphia Country club, was one of the
outstanding features Of the teams
play.
Eight players Of more than average
college ability compose the varsity
squad for the regular season, while
several freshmen will be added for
the intercollegiate championships.
Brodbeck, winner of the Metropolitan
championship last year and fresh
man, will compete in the intercollegi-
ates.
George Morrow, Daniel Merritt,
Rodney Coltart, Arthur Haven, Joseph
Kelly, Carl Hoffman, Floyd Starr and
7. Citizens, compose the squad. Due
to the generosity Of the professionals
in the clubs about Philadelphia, the
players do not need hired coach. The
pros have been giving the individuals
free instructions with the result that
all have greatly improved their game.
