OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCREDINGS e _____} - 'MAKING BEMIDJI GROW. There isn’t any one thing that makes Bemidji & “live one.” - b True, this city is fortunately located as a dis- tributing point, and natural advantages are the greatest things in its favor. = = When you stop to think of it; “natural advan- tages” covers a multitude of virtues; it covers the beauty of its lake, the fertility of its soil, the big- ness of its timber and the territory which it serves as a wholesale center. Just now the biggest problemsof our people is to get our rich lands over on the black inkside of the ledger; the lands wfllddo their part, and more, if they are given half a chance. Our agricultural development’ has gone forward during the last few years—say, since the organiza- tion, of the Northern Minnesota Development asso- ciation—but right now we are on' the eve of the greatest farming activity since Count Beltrami paced the Indian trails that Mced our virgin for- ests. i Getting the stumps out and grain in, is what we need, and what we are going to have. If ever the good Lord in his most generous moments ever carv- ed ‘out a more attractive or promising dairy and Toot crop country than this part of Minnesota, ‘the maps do not show it. - : In the older and settled parts of the state, an adjoining states to. the south and west, the farmers are chained down ‘with burden brought them on the false prosperity of the war period.’ The high-priced lands of the grain growers is proving a mill stone for hundreds,, and the inflated values that were brought about have left those now struggling along in these stricken communities almost without hope, in the face of the present depréssion of farm com- modities.
