Early Trading Posts. Among the fur-trading posts which were established by ‘these early adventurers may be mentioned Fort Snelling at St. Paul, Fond du Lac on the St. Louis river and Fort Duluth where Duluth is now located. Fur trading no longer holds a prom-| inent place in the commercial life of the state except at St. Paul where is located the principal fur .center of the country. Shortly after 1850 there came a great influx of strong Europeans. Of these the Scandinavians formed by far the larger part. The opening of the ‘land--to homesteaders brought many of the poeple here. Finding conditions of climate and soil sim- ilar to those at home they naturally adapted themselves very readily to the new environment. They- soon sent for their relatives and friends whom :they had left at home when they started on theixn journey to seek new fields of fortune. Today this territory is occupied by such vigor- ous, healthy, hard working earnest peoples as makes Minnesota one of the foremost states of America. The Northern half of the state has not reached the limit of its produc- tive possibilities. Although crops in the Red River Valley have fallen off in recent years there still remains the many thousands of acres of cut- over land and mining territory that must be developed. The mineral re- sources are inexhaustable. In fact in recognition of this condition ef- fective experimental work along ag- ricultural lines has begun. It re- mains for the several communities to unite enthusiastically in the move- ment, as increased productivity of the soil means a larger food:supply and lower prices for foodstuffs. Low- er prices for food means a larger in- flux of people, a greater amount of energy for the present citizens and therefore progress and prosperity for all.

There are large accumu- lations of capital which are now re- stricted to local communities for in- vestment, being permitted to be ap- plied only to municipal bonds and securities of that class, aside from local loans. When this security is created and put into the same cate- gory, this vast capital will then be unlocked for this investment, “In the creation of rural securities, I'have considered with especial inter- est and embodiment of a life insur- ance plan. It would undoubtedly be of great value to have the debentures, or security, accompanied by such a policy, which would ensure the lig- uidation of the indebtedness in case of the death of the borrower. This is the usual practice where land and buildings are mortgaged; a fire in- surance policy accompanies the mort- gage and becomes a part of the bond security. In case of the maturity of the policy by fire, the money is to interest may appear.” The introduc- tion of the life insurance policy in agricultural credits is undoubtedly a sound, economic proposition.
