Tam located at Halstad, Minn., 40 miles north of Fargo, onthe banks of Red river. This river forms the boundary detween North Dakota and Minn. The valley on each side is very fertile for 30 or40 miles beck and now isa sea of way grain—oats, wheat,and barley. The ground is perfectly level. The farmers are just commencing to harvest Some have several sections in The most extensive wheat growers are the Grandin brothers whose farme i miles wide and 12 miles long. They use binders. Next comes Mr. Hurley with a tract 4 miles square. sold him Ss McCormic machines Many farmers have from two to four harvest- ers. There is no fruit raised here. Have not seen anapple, peach, cherry, or pear tree since I me. The We farmers here are Swedes, Norwegians ous. Halstad is a town of 1200 people, having 1 large school house, 3churches, 1 mill, 3 large elevators, 1 bank and no saloon. There are 3 Americans here now—the profes- sor, the Methodist preacher and your humble servant. So yousee thatifI want to talk to any oneI have to be in good company. The farmers think the wheat will make 25 bushels tothe acre. The McCormic people think of sending me to Canada when I am through here. Of course I willgo but I will draw the line thereas Iam not ambitious enough to want to go to the North Pele. There are plenty of prairie chickens here and they are very tame as the Norwegians are no hunters. My land- lord furnishes the gun and shells and I do the rest.
