PLAYGROUND
WILL BE MADE
Purchase of Nineteen Thou
sand Acres Pine County
Land Approved.
ReSett1ement of Families
Within the Region Will
be Undertaken.

The project which will make 10000
acres of land, all in Pine county, a
new accessible playground and wood
many miles in each direction both
in Minnesota and Wisconsin was
today promised as a result of an an
nouncement by Reynolds l. NOVEL;,
regional director of the Resettlement
Administration for Region 2.
Mr. NOVEL; stated that the Pres
ident and the Resettlement Admins
tration had approved the purchase
of this amount of land along the st.
Croix river. The acreage to be pur-
chased lies entirely in Pine county.
About $4,000 has been allocated
from Resettlement funds for land
purchase here.
This project was originally ap-
proved when land utilization work
was being carried out under auspices
of the Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration and the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration. In its
amended form, however, the tract is
considerably larger than before.
About Ten Families in Area.
"Resettlement of residents living on
this land is a comparatively minor
feature" said Mr.. NOVEL;. Not more
than one-fifth of the land has ever
been used for agriculture. Never
theless, there are about ten families
who have been attempting to wrest
living from the soil in this re-
gion 1t will not be difficult for them
| to pick new places nearby where they
will be adjacent to advantages such
as they have never known on their
| old farms-churches, schools, cream
cries, stores. garages and good roads
More particularly this land should
be regarded as type of terrain which
should be completely rededicated tC
recreation, and so owned in the fu-
ture that it will never be in danger
of settlement by those who have not
thought out in detail just what il
takes to be successful in farming.
Almost unanimously has this pro-
ject been urged by such organizations
as the Minneapolis and the st. Pau
Community Chests, the Camp Fire
Girls, Boy Scouts, YWCA, Union Cos
pei Mission Boys Club, Public Depart
ment of Parks and Fairgrounds. Chris

RURAL CREDIT
SHOWS GAIN
Rental Income of Depart
ment Expected to Equal
1884 Volume.
Farm Sales Show Increase
in Dollar Value Over
Last Year.

In measure of dollars the business
of the Rural Credit Department for
the first nine months of 1885 was
twice the volume of the entire year OF
1884 Every section of the Depart
ment shows this increase in the vol
ume of business in the same ratio
with the exception of the collection
of interest and rents.
The first nine months rental collec-
tions for 1884 amounted to S412,54O
and approximately $4,000 for the
entire year. The first nine months OF
1885 yielded S34S, 043. Last year the
major portion of the rental income
came from the Red River valley. 1t
is apparent that the total rents from
that source this year will not exceed
one-third of the 1884 volume. How
ever. with some sort of a crop over
the entire state. total rentals for this
season are expected to approximate
the rental income for 1884.
Collections for the current season
are considerably delayed because of
the lateness of the harvest season, as
compared to last year; the desire on
the part of the farmers to wait for
higher prices; rust damage to the
wheat crop: and because of the wide
spread existence of feed and seed
loans in the drouth area. These lat
ter have first lien on the crops.
During 1894, 379 mortgage loans
were refinanced in the amount of ap-
proximately S1,100.000. During the
first nine months of 1885, 81 mort
gage loans were retinanced, in the
amount of S1.416,S67. A total volume
of $7.500.000 in Federal Land Bank
commitments are now being consid-
cred.
Sales show Greatest Increase.
The sales activity of the Department
shows the greatest amount of increase
over 1884. 403 farms were sold last
year for S1.120.6S6, with a down pay
ment of $309,514. During the first
nine months of 1885. 292 farms were
sold for 81 .339.375 with a down pay
ment of S350,750. OF the total sale

Both gunners and big game hunters
