A Government Station to be Established ; Here at the N. E. Experiment Farm. Le Dr. B. E. Fernow, chief of the for- esty division of the department of ag- riculture, Washington, D. C., is ex- pected to arrive in St. Paul in about a week on an important mission. He has practically agreed to place a for- estry experiment station at the Crook- ston experiment substation similar to those that have been placed at other agricultural colleges and experiment stations in the West, notably those in South Dakota, Nebraska and Colorado. It is probable that when in Northeast- ern Minnesota Dr. Fernow will make arrangements to select large tracts of soil now practically worthless. Besides a forestry experiment sta- tion at Crookston, Minnesota will like- ly have another in the vicinity of Grand Rapids, where the other ex- peiiment farm is located. the University of Minnesota owns 450 acres. Experimental work is done on Prof. Gregy’s farm, but as that land is private and as the farm is close to the Brookings agricultural college farm of South Dakota no forestry station will be jocated there by the department of agriculture. This state has for some time been engaged in forestry work at the experiment station and the sub- stations, but the department of agri- culture desires to make tests of its own and will probably begin by securing the use of twenty acres at Crookston. ‘The department will make experi- ments on that strip of land through the Minnesota experiment station, which will really carry on the work under the direction of the department. Dr. Fernow is anxious to take up work in the Grand Rapids section also, and his efforts there, if his recommen dations are approved by Secretary of Agriculture J. Sterlimg Morton, are likely to result in a very important in- stitution for Minnesota. Prof. ilays was seen at the residence of Col. Lig- gett in St. Anthony Park last evening by a Pioneer Press reporter and asked regarding the nature of the scheme contemplated by Dr. Fernow for de- veloping worthless soil in Northwest- ern Minnesota. He said: ~ “1 do not wish to predict too much, nor do I care to discuss in detail at present the scheme to which you reter. I will state, however, that 1t 1s thought that there is a large section of land in the northeastern part of the state which the department might se- cure for permanent experiments to demonstrate the practicability of for- est management. ‘Lhere is plenty of land there too sandy or too stony for cultivation, which might - be .resolved into forests again. Land is cheap ana the government could perhaps’ pay a large part of the expenses eventually through the forest growth of crops. ‘This idea is certainly new, the only forest work done so far anywhere be- ling timber belt, prairie forestry, and ; that has been conducted only during the past two years.” When Prof. Hayes, of the state ex- perimental farm was in Washington with Dr. Fernow, who expressed a desire to make experiments in con- nection. with the Minnesota experi- ment station immediately and investi- gate the larger products by making in- guiry tests on large tracts ot land in Northeastern Minnescta. Since then Dr. Fernow has spent most of his time in New Mexico and, other business, Prof. Hayes telegraphed to him yesterday to find out when he would be able to visit Minnesota, and though no answer had been received last night it is thought he will reach St. Paulin afew days, He will be accompanied on his trip through the state by Prof. Hays, Prof. Green of the horticultural division of the experi- ment station, and Col, Liggett, of the railroad and warehouse commission. He will probably spend a couple of | weeks in the state, spending part of '\the time inspecting logging camps and lumbermg operations. He will li, all of Grand Rapid linn, A. J.
