The importance of the undeveloped sections of Northern Minnesota in agriculture is at once realized when thought is [ given to the fact that more than one-half of the land in the United States, fit for cultivation, was in crops ten years ago. This proportipn has steadily increased. Then there must be eliminated the “corn belt,” where none but a rich man may own a farm. This is a wedge-shaped region east of the 100th meri- dian and bounded by a line from southwestern Pennsylvania across Kentucky and Missouri to Oklahodma, thence north to North Dakota and back across Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi- gan to Pennsylvania—in all about one-fifth of the United States. It produces four-fifths of the corn, thrée-fourths of the wheat and oats, and three-fifths of the hay crops of the nation. This belt, most of which can be plowed easily and has a fertile soil, is the most productive area in the world devoted to corn, which is the most productive per acre of the food crops. i The United States has approximately 850,000,000 acres of land—45. per cent of the country’s land area—in crops or avail- able for erop production. Of this amount approximately 480,- 000,000 acres were improved land in 1910; the remainder con- sisting of 200,000,000 acres of potentially arable forest and cut- over land, 60,000,000 acres of swamps and other wet lands needing drainage, 30,000,000 acres of potentially irrigable land, and about 80,000,000 acres of unimproved land other than woodland. . Over 1,000,000 acres of land in the United States are not adapted to cultivation, of which at least 360,000,000 acres may be be used for forests about 600,000,000 acres for grazing. Most of the grazing land is located in the W@stern States. In addition there are about 40,000,000 acres of desert land, and 40,000,000 acres of land in cities, rural highdays, and railroad right of way, an amount which will gradually increase with increasing:population. . : e Bemidii and Beltrami county have just made their start. So far farmers here have simply been demonstrating the success with which potatoes can be raised, with which crops of all vari- eties can be grown, with which sheep flocks can be maintained, with which cattle can be raised and with which the dairy farm can be operated. For the stockman or farmer Beltrami county provides a home, and the years will be few before its lands will be sold at a premium. No, Bemidji and Beltrami are far from through. MEETING POSTPONED.
