EIGHTEEN SUPPLEMENT TO GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1912. Room For More Than 200,000 Without Crowding skill in farming, will make his success quicker, nevertheless men have done it who had not those advantages and are doing it today. That man who lives in a comfortable farm house backed by a big red barn, had only a shack and a stable of poles five years ago. That other man who lives in a cabin on the edge of a tiny clearing will have a good home five years from now. An acre will furnish subsistence. Five acres will provide fair earnings and something to put in the bank. -'Phere is -work-in the avoods while :a man is getting his cle.» g started. For a young men there is the charm of pioneering without the fierce privations of the earlier pioneers. Now here is a singular fact. Every man in Itasca county has the best piece of land that lies outdoors, You talk with a big six footer who slings his pack over his shoulder to stride down a trail into the woods. His land is the best in the county. A settler drives twenty odd miles from Bear River Valley to one of the mining towns with a load of produce. It is a pleasure to hear him say his land is the best in the county. On sandy soil, where the jack pine grows, a rich farm has been made by good cultivation with the help of the dairy cow; the farmer explains that bis is the best land in the county. In the clay loam, which predominates, every farmer assures you his is the best lanu in the county. Tt is inspiring to hear men talk that way of the land where they live. Hear how Duncan Mc- Dougall came to Lake Jessie after the Hinckley fire and how he won out. Le+ William Welte tell yon about his hogs on the Big Fork that foraged for themselves. Let C. W. Haigh tell you what he raised on one acre at Goodland. Hear what A. M. Sisler’s dairy herd brought him at Grand Rapids. Talk with A. T. Reid, who came to Deer River broken in health, a worn out school teacher, and notice how he came back, Visit the Guile farm Itasca county is full of men who started with nothing and made good on the land. Itasca county is, first of all, a place where a man can invest his labor in the land and win him- self a farm. Hundreds have done it. Suecess is in the air. Every man knows that just as sure as he applies himself to making 2 farm he will win. There will be hindrances, but he is going to win. There is a deal of hard work but he is going to win. In this soil. in this climate, in ihis invigorating air, on this cheap land, with the best market in the world right at hand, any man who puts his shoulder to it is going to win without fail. You should hear from their own lips the story of their success. Men who came here without a cent and mde good. Men who came with suf- ficient funds but broken in health and made good. Men who came without farming experience and made good. Though doubtiess « man who has health, and money enough for a fair start, and = 3 Oats give allthe way up to 80 bushels—John Fraser’s field on Prairie River. as Following the plow with a disc harrow between stumps— ‘I’m going to plant potatoes and they will pay for clearing the land,’’—Charles Wolf ot Bass Lake. near Cohasset, where modern mei: ds have proved the capacity of the soil. county hasn’t begun to be settled yet. There are less than 20,000 people where there is room for 200,000 without crowding. But they are coming, they are coming fast. And every man who applies himself is making good. Farmers who have succeeded elsewhere come here to better them- selves; farmers who hardly kept even renting hired land come here and establish themselves. Invalids find their health. Men who have had no depen- dence but their wages find their homes. That is Itasca county. The place where a man invests his labor and wins a farm. The place where a man makes good. coe’ Sedtactodtnetodie LAA Adda Aa dABALSASASOLESSsASSHSSOOHSESEHEONOEOS mwsteatealeeestestectectostosteotectestestectectoatoc® we petoateefeneioozer, Soolorininjoezooieaioezoeseetoeteatoeieeteatootess 8 <ieereeloeseazerioeoareezes_oeseeleaioeseaseezoeseaseeteaiesloeiesleeet tase Mieeiealot. ee odieei es ot.eeotioe. eset. oeedioe.orssoesed otioe sesso og & RS 3 Sectestasiecieaie, igsleclecieslesioeieslectesleaeciostectaclosinetveleatectesiectecteatectesty sstecteslealociesioatecleszectecteatocioeieatectoetoerociocteciosieaiecten’ eal: eieeteatectoetoetectont Kc’ectectectoctontoeee eclestoctoclecleslostectoctectectectoctectoctostosta % + a aa aT a a Tin a a Ss a as NS a a oO a as as SL I Bs wa, x S464 : 3 $ 3 3 & & oe % f3 ad + bp 2 & } 3 2 « ° a & 2 a % * pam a 2 e+} 33 & 4 3 3 % ; sedtealectoetecteatectestocreatectenioe’ Satna dyctud Soles Gate datntetprintriialiptybetytateteteioteteiotetetetetesctelptytenioletet Secdosloctectectostedtnctesteatoctedtestoatectectoateetectostoctea’ ey + +} is Soeioegoeinofeajeoatoaio, sSeejocjoejoesonioate aioats pefeaseezeegeeieetoesoetedoesoeieaseaseaiwaseesecseeteeseesoesoetoeseeseasonin sieazedjetioeiwsweceeieeseess Soeiorioeioesoazonzenteciocloeseetoatenionieesoeieeleeiearenieetoste > a> 4 wee & t ‘ $ 2 E « < . ? “—S * & é me & ks 3 3 3% 3, *: & & & a 3 ood b> . % s < a & ‘. k3 3 ef ¢ & & ed , 3 % 3 & & . a 6 a) s 2d & . 3% a 4 2% ed , 3% ’ Y . 3s ¢ & } 3 2s & 4 RS % & * ez 5 z ay . d g & ° ¢ bs ° 3 } 5 eS Celephone 163 ‘. ‘ ‘e ‘. 5 ‘e* ‘ ‘ ' SS ERR R RRR KRONOR ERROR RRO ROE? - ‘.
