Much cut-over land which was neglected for two decades has lately been brought into cultivation and found to be well adapted for po- tatoes, clover, hay and other forage crops. From the Rainy River and from the Lake of the Woods, from the Red Lake basin and from the Me- saba range come reports of growing crops. In the vicinity of Hinckley, Hibbing, Two Harbors, Big Fork, Pine River, Mahnomen, Tamarack Bemidji and International Falls the increase of area under cultivation ov- er that of last year is placed at twen- ty per cent. Wheat Comparatively little is rais- ed in this district. The crop is in good condition. The acreage in these crops Rye, is small. The condition Is Barley 00d. Rye is being harvest- and Oats ed and will make from twenty to thirty bushels to the acre. Barley is a good stand and the heads are well filled. Early sown is about ready to cut, and a yield of twenty-five bushels to the acre is a fair estimate of probable returns. In most localities oats are coming on well and an average return of forty bushels to the acre is indicated. The acreage in this crop in this district is small but the < general condition is good and a yield of from twelve to fifteen bushels to the acre may be expected. There is a large acreage in these crops. A good crop of clover is being cut and is yielding from two to three tons to the acre. Tame hay is mak- ing two tons to the acre, and the quality is excellent. There is plenty of wild hay. A large acreage is planted Potatoes in this crop. The condition is ‘good. The fields have been well cared for and very little complaint is made about bugs. Early sown are being dug and are yielding well. Later sown have a healthy growth and the tubers are clean and sound. At Aitkin, Moose Lake, Red Top, Grand Marais, Pillager, Bleak- duck, Bagley, Denham, La Porte and Bemidji, a yield of from 100 to 200 bushels to the acre is indicated. This crop is raised mainly Corn for consumption on the farm. Very little is mar- keted. The increase of acreage over last year is estimated_at ten per cent. The crop is backward but the plant is healthy, the fields are well cultivated and with warmer weather later on will afford excellent fodder. Flax Clover and Hay CROOKSTON MILL RUNNING. Crookston, Minn., July 26.—-After a struggle which began May 1, the head of the log drive from Red Lake reached Crookston Thursday and the mill, which exhausted the log supply here after a two weeks’ run, will re- sume sawing with an ample suppiy of logs between heer and Red Lake Falls to keep busy till the freeze up next fall. ; All the logs coming down will be kept here, the Crookston Lumbe- company having purchased those owned by the Grand Forks Lumber company as there wag iittle prospect of driving logs from here to Grand Forks. After a long struggle, and the dig- ging of a channel to let the water out of Red Lake into the Red Lake river, sufficient water was secured to get the logs down to Red Lake Falls. NOTICE.

LEY’S ADVICE, “GO WEST.” According to Statement of Kansas Clty Man, “Salted” Mines Gave the Great Editor the_ Insplration for Well-Known Words. According to Isom O. Stephens, who, runs a little corner grocery store in Kansas City, the famous advice of Horace Greeley to “Go West” was founded on a fake bit of persuasion in the form of a “salted” gold mine near Denver, Colo. In the Spring of 1860 Mr. Stephens was In Denver—then a mere frontier village whose chief enterprise was gambling—at the time when Horace Greeley made the town a visit. - Steph- ens was one of a party of six who wasted considerable effort trying to get real gold out of the identical lo- cality where the early day promoters produced extravagant wealth before Mr. Greeley’s eyes. The ruse worked admirably. It was good for several cole umns of the “Go west, young man” stuff right off the New York editor's trenchant pen. Mr. Stephens, by the way, has & re- markable record as a ploneer. In four different states he ‘“ploneered” years in advance of the railway—Michigan, Kansas, Colorado and North Dakota. Mr. Stephens was born in a log house in the woods of Michigan In 1881, “I got the gold fever early in 1860, Mr. Stephens sald. “My brother-in-law had been in Denver the year previous and had struck it rich in placer min. ing. We learmed of excursion rates of $40 from Atchison to Denver, which were cheap in comparison with the regular rates of $100 one way. “When we got to Denver the gold fever was running high. Horace Gree« ley, editor of the New York Tribun end a member of his staff were i Denver. They sent back beautifully worded storles of the grandeur of the west, and the possibilities of getting rich. My father had been a subscrib er to the New York Tribune ever sincg he built our log house in the Michiy gan clearing in 1828, “Our party got a tip on the mines that Greeley had written about and wa went upnear Boulder and tried oum luck. The six of us showed & gross re- turn of $1.37 worth of gold for the week's work. Discouraged and half starved, we trafled back to Denver, Shortly after that we learned thay the gold mines had been ‘salted’ for the purpose of arousing Mr, Greeley’s enthusiasm. “Mr. Greeley went back to New Yorl that spring. It was the season to put ozone into the lungs of a city man and make him think there was na place lke the boundless west. He left a staff writer in Denver that sum. mer. I followed the trail back to the states the same summer. A drought had selzed the land. Everything was parched and brown. It was a desolate- looking landscape. After I got back ta. Michigan I read the rosy accounts of the western country in the New York Tribune, but they didn’t look good to me.*—Kansas City Times.
