Mr: Jorgenson was enjoying his noonday rest at his home after eat- ing ahearty dinner when his son Norman rushed in and excitedly told him.the Smith boy had fallen into the ‘river and was drowning. The superintendent hastened to the spot where the boy had fallen into the big eddy that sets back from the swift current of the rapids and flows along the shore by Mr. Raymond’s house. The buy had been playing on some logs in the edge of the eddy from which he had fallen into the water and Mr.. Jorgenson reasoned that if he was to be saved at all it must be because he was still held-in the swirl of the eddy and had not been swept out 1n the fierce current of the rapids, in which event rescue would have been impossible. Acting on this reasoning Mr. Jorgenson care- fully scanned the eddy as far as his eves would penetrate and finally de- tected a dark mass of something moving along the outer edge and being radpidly borne toward the rapids. In he plunged, dived under three feet of water, reached the sub- merged and floating object, and found it was indeed the little boy. Mr. Jorgenson quickly bore the little body, to aj] appearance thatof a corpse, to shore, and energetic and and skillful measures for his re- suscitation were at once setin pro- gress. Muskeg Swamps Valuable. The muskeg swamp lands of this part of Minnesota have long been re- garded as the most worthless and irreclaimable land in this section, but experiments carried out this summer op G. G. Hartley’s big Island Farm near Floodwood shew that the swamp lands when properly drained, are most fertile and valuable. Mr. Hartley has found that this land pro- duces celery of the most desirable sort, and his profit this yearon a small tract of four and a half acres is in excess of $800.00 per acre. This was accomplished under the most adverse conditions—the spring was very late and unfavorable for the growing of celery and the ground planted at the Island Farm had never been broken. Last spring the tract was a typical muskeg swamp. The whole secret of this~ pheno- Not only was the celery experiment grati- fying, but on this same farm a heavy hay crop has been cut this year off of land that from one and a half'to two years ago was submerged by from four inches to two feet of water. Potatoes, cauliflower and other vege- tables have also grown well on the drained muskeg lands. The muskeg swamps are comprised of low lands on which a heavy layer of moss, leaves and other vegetable matter has accumulated, furming a tenacious matting that is hard to dis- pose of. When these swamps are drained it is found that most of this can be destroyed by burning, the moist ground beneath preventing the heat from injuring the soil. After this was done a heavy four-horse team was used in plowing the ground and there was not the slighest trace of bogginess inthe field. Mowing | machines are used in harvesting the hay on the meadows that a year ago were under a foot of water. This is but another positive proof of the future richness that northern Minnesota may attain to through her agricultural possibilities, and is cer- tainly conclusive evidence of the wis- dom of the state draining the swamp lands of this section. Mr. Hartley's farm north of Floodwood isin a very swampy district, and its development is made possibie largely by the fact that it is intersected by two state drainage ditches—one leading to the Floodwood river and the other find- ing an outlet toward the Mississippi. The tract comprising the Island Farm is very large and its owner is fast making it the foremost of farms in this section. During the past year 390 acres have been cleared on the farm and about 200 acres broken. Next year celery will be a heavy crop on the farm, but experiments in other directions will also be made on the reclaimed nmiuskeg lands.—Pine Knot.
