FE ee ee ee ee ee ee ee It is not easy, at the present time, to state exactly the area that is cov- ered by Northern Minnesota. If the 46th parallel were taken as the south- ern boundary, then all the land north of Hinckley on the east and Elbow Lake on the west, would be in North- ern Minnesota. This division, though in a sense arbitary, would seem fair; and it would include not less than half the land of the state; i. e., one- half of the 50,000,000 acres of land surface comprised within the state. Within this area lies the greater por- tion of the 20,000,000 acres of agri- cultural land that are awaiting settle- ment. These lands can be obtained at a cost of $5 to $25 per acre, ac- cording to location and the quality of the soil. Here, then, is an agricul- tural empire greater than one-half of the Empire State of New York, and covering almost as much as’one- half the great state of North Dakota; any part of which iS within twelve hours by rail of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Now, suppose that only one half of the twenty milliof: acres of land re- ferred to were arable, and that, when they came to be tilled, the produce did not exceed $10 per acre in value, the annual return from this land would be worth $100,000,000. Which means that, in less than nipie years, the values of the agricultural pro- @ucts grown on this land would ex- ceed im value all the ore ih sight in the most famous iron mines that are found in the world today. And yet, during past decades, home-mak- ers have been passing by this area of immense possible production, for the reason, chiefly, that it is clothed itself with trees rather than grass. Fram the character of the produc- tiou, and in the very nature of things this area is going to be farmed on the extensive plan. This means that the farms will be small; not more as a rule, than eighty acres each. Now. granting that only 10,000,000 out of the 20,000,000 acres could be tied, this would add 125,000 to the nupile) of farmers of this state. T’:s value of this undeveloped agri- cultural empire may be illustrated in several ways. The creamery industry of the state has called into existence about 1,600,600 cows. The output of butter now is about 100,000,000 found in Northern Minnesota. Such are the herds owned by the Jean Duluth Stock Farm, which for profit- able productfon are not excelled in the entire state. The precipitation in Northern Min- nesota is usually ample. In some sea- sons it may be excessive. The far- mer }s not followed by the nightmare of a dry seasonthat may come. He knew full well, that seldom will the elements fail to water his crop; and he has no need of irrigation ditches to carry water, the farmer can pro- vide a remedy of carryimg it away. It ts different with a farmer where rain falls short. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot make it rain. A plentiful supply of grass and other products, and a plentiful supply of ‘these means a large return in meat and dairy products. The water supply in Northern Mi nesota is virtually unlimited. In fact, in many sections it is so excessive it calls for drainage. But where drainage is not needed, water is easily accessible. Sometimes i* is found in streams perenial in their flow. Sometimes it is found in springs that bubble from the side of a hfll. where it is not found in any of ‘these forms, it can be obtain- ed in endless supply by sfnking wells and harnessing the winds to bring up the crystal waters, freed from any suspicion of taint. To understand what brackish or alkali water is the Northern Minnesota farmer would have to journey to other states. It is the abounding prevalence of pure water that goes far to make Northern Minnesota so adapted to live stock and live stock products. The agricultural production of Northern Minnesota relates to the growing of grain, fodder crops, pas- tures, field roots, vegetables, fruits and forest trees. The adaption for either of these lines of production varies, but viewing it in its entirety it averages high, Northern Minnesota (east of the Red River region) is not a grain country to the extent that the o prairie is. In the nature of things it cannot be, for the farms are much more limited in extent. But this does not mean that it will not graw good crops of grain, especially those vari- ties chiefly used as food for live pounds a year. The value of the pro- duct, including by-products, of these cows is not less than $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 annually. When northern Mitnesota comes to be fully settled, the products of the diary will be at least doubled. That similar in- crease may be made in other lines wil be apparent from what follows. This entire region is possessed of a soil which varies wth the confor- mation of the land. The higher land is what may be termed a clay loam, varying much in the degree of its arabliity, and more or less in its pro- ducing power. This land is usually covered, with a hardwood timber of a mixed growth, or was before the timber was removed. The strong pro- ductive power of this lad will not | for one moment be questioned. It has been called‘‘the land of red clov- er,” because of the unrivaled iux- uriance with which this plant grows. Some of the intervening stretches of soil are sandy in texture, and are usually covered with what in com- mon phrase is called jack-pine, and in other instances with Norway. The third class of soil is known as swamp land; and it forms a very consMerable proportion of the en- tire area. There are virtually three classes of swamp lands. The first is usually covered with trees or brush growth, and is underlaid with clay. These swamps, when drained, have surpassing producing power, and high adaption to the growth of tame hay. In this line of production alone they will prove a_ veritable mine of wealth to the owner. Some of the swamp land is so deeply un- derlaid with raw peat that long} years must pass before it will be- come profitable for the production of craps, But the Way is not far distant when these peat-beds will yield a profitable harvest of fuel. A | much more limited area of swamp lands is known as muskeg—deep depressions, in which peat i& still in process of formation. These areas had better be handed down as a heritage to posterity for utilization of their pro- ducts. Hard things have been said about stock. Rye, of the winter qnd spring varieties, oats, barley, ppeltz, and peas, excellent crops of all of these mayj be prown. The adoptiqn of northern Minne- sota Tor the production of fodder crops include clover in all varieties, alfalfa, mixed hay, and fodder crops. The readiness with which clover grows, the luxuriance and persistence of its growth, are marvelous. Clover will grow if the seed is scattered in the forest, where the shade is not dense. It may be seen growing lux- uriantly in the outlying streets of Duluth qnd other towns. This alone should settle the question of the practicability of making farming pro- fitable. Wherever clover will grow thus, so will all the crops essential to keeping live stock can be main- tained, there also may happy, pros- perous homes be made. Tue pastures that may be grown are sirly superb. No sooner is a wagen trail made through the forest tuin bite-grass, white clover and tim- otay begin to grow along the side. ‘The rapidy with which these grow, their luxurance, and their persistance in autumn and perenial growth, are astonishing. From what has been said, it will be apparent that northern Minnesota is highly adapted for l#vestock, horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry, It has been objected ithat the length of the winter is a hinderance, but live- stock can be maihtained more cheap- ly where the winters are long, pro- viding the production is abundant. Under the conditions in northern.Min mesota, live stock can be wintered on a less area of land than would suffice to carry them elsewhere. Siim- ilar conditiolys are true of horses. That beef can be grown with success is shown by experience. Carlson Bros. at Erskine, have grown beef which they deem as prof:table as their diary \herd. (Cattle can easily be grown, in this region, that will weigh 1,000 pounds at the stockyards, in.twenty four months, At present prices, such animals would bring from 6% to 7 cents, which would mean a return of $75 to $84 per head. the climate of Northern Minnesota. It has been represented as a regic of deep snow in wipter, and of temperatures so frigid as to be hard to endure by either man or beast. That snow falls more deeply than in areas further south is true; and that it is true is fortunate for those who till the soil. The jenow furnishes a blanket for the crops, whith keeps them from perishing in wiater. The charge of low temperature is met by ‘the fact that some of the best herds dof dairy cattle in the country are Profitable as the growing of beef cattle will be, the profits from diary- fng will be relatively greater. Nature has paved the way for making a4 great dairy region in northern Min- nesota. The Jean Duluth stock far has secured more than $100 a year in some instances as a return for putter from a single cow, sold in the Duluth market. The average return ffr@m the herd of twenty cows of Carlson Bros. was $72.84. This m- (Continued on page eight) i A a
