office. Such farms are usually
those in the timbered area that
have been opened up limited
number Of years or the people on
them have not found it possible to
get any great area Of timber land
cleared. During the past several
weeks a large caterpillar outfit
with hydraulic lifts has been carry
ing out what is known as the bull
dozer method for stump clearing in
Stearns county. Under this ar
rangement the stumps are lifted
right out Of the soil and showed
off to one side to be used for fuel
or to be cleared away for burning.
The cost of this bull-dozer method
of land clearing is lower than the
use of dynamite or the old hand
grubbing method. Costs under this
arrangement run from Sc to $40
per acre. The equipment is now
in use and samples of its work can
be seen in Rockville township. The
nice feature about this type of land
clearing Is that the blade on pass
ing over the soil generally closes

Polycarp Meyer, All club men,
Der of the Metre Grove All club,
was selected as one Of the county
All members in Minnesota to at
tend the Resort Help Training
School located in the u. S. For
estry Service Nursery out of Eve
ieth, Minnesota. There are sixty
boys selected to attend this camp
sponsored by the National Youth
Administration. The boys attend
ing this camp are there for ap-
proximately two months, from
April Is to about June IS. This
training school is designed for the
purpose Of training these boys to
aid in putting on camps, aid resort
keepers and assist in life saving
work.
Polycarp has been in All club
work in Stearns county for four
years. He is 10 years of age and
this year he is carrying the Jun
ior Leadership project and the
Health, Safety, and Conservation
activities. He is the son of Alloys
c. Meyer, adult leader of the Metre
Grove All club.
Farmers interested in the use Of
mari or limestone for correcting
acidity in sandy soil are urged by
the county agents office to make
plans to use this material this
spring where conditions warrant.
A good portion of the sandy soils
in Stearns county are deficient in
lime and will respond to the use
of either mari or limestone in guam
titles ranging from two to four
tons per acre.
In the last few weeks a complete
mari and lime distribution service
has been set up. Under this ar
rangement a truck operator has
been secured who has equipment
for spreading the mari and lime
directly on to the fields. In this
way a farmer wishing to use the
material can make arrangements
with this truck owner to get
given number yards of mari or tons
Of limestone distributed directly on
the field. So far efforts are being
made to push the use of mari be-
cause several thousand yards of
mari are now stock-piled in the
county as a result Of a relief pro-
ject worked out by the county
agents office about two years ago.
Furthermore, there are millions Of
yards of mari available in Stearns
county which might as well be used
as to have the limestone brought
in from the outside. The nearest
limestone available comes from the
Twin Cities. The cost Of the mari
per cubic yard spread right on the
fields will be $1.00. Under this ar
rangement it is not necessary for
the farmer to double handle the
mari. The material will be shovel
ed right from the truck into the
spreader and spread right on the
land at the desired rate. Those
interested in taking advantage of
this opportunity should contact the
county agents office.

CAPITOL

Land of Opportunity
BY Harold Knutson

In a few short weeks the high
schools and colleges of the coun-
try will graduate several million
young men and women. Many will
face the future with doubt or des-
pair. While not warranted, that
attitude is not to be wondered at
in view of the history we have
made the past ten years.
America, today, offers as many
opportunities as ever. Perhaps not
in the way of free lands or in some
of the old lines but in many new
avenues that were unknown to our
fathers. There is an abundance of
opportunities open to those who
have prepared themselves for de-
finite work. Employers are gener-
ally agreed that there is an actual
scarcity of trained workers but
superabundance of those who are
without a trade or profession.
That America is yet the land of
opportunity was forcibly brought
home to me about a week ago
when a young man who operates a
small string of variety stores down
in northern Florida appeared be-
fore the committee that is holding
hearings on the chain tax mea-
sure.
The young mans statement
sounded like tale from the Arab
ian Nights. Born on a farm he
managed to get enough education
to secure a teachers certificate,
but that kind of work didn't ap-
peal to him so he started a small
bakery in a town of 1000 inhab-
itants. He made a good living from
the bakery but that was about all.
While on a shopping trip to Saw
annah in 1926 he noticed that the
5 and 10 cent stores seemed to be
doing rushing business and he
determined to start one of his own.
Upon returning home he sold the
bakery for $1,000. two-hundred in
cash and the balance on install
ments which were never paid.
Renting a building on side street
he and his wife constructed the
necessary counters and shelving
out of plain boards. When these
were no and painted he ordered a
$500 bill of merchandise from a
jobber. The order came with a bill
of lading attached and had it not
been for the local banker, who let
him have $500 in cash, the end to
his business career would have
come then and there. To hear him
describe the opening day of his
first store was really a thrilling
event.
To make a long story short, he
continued to expand, even through
the depression. and now operates
sixteen stores. He told us that he
has but begun to grow providing
he Is not taxed out of existence. !
wish that every young man and
woman in America could have
heard his statement to the COM
mittee. 1t was an epic and one that
shall always remember. AS he
gave us the story Of his compare
lively short life I said to myself,
that young man personifies Amer
ica.'
We have always had and always
will have those who can see moth
ing ahead. I have enough confid-
ence in the future of our great
country to believe that we have
but scratched the surface. The
thing to do is to be prepared when
the opportunity comes. I know
there are those who will say, "well
1t is all right for him to talk but
we who are up against it know bet
