The children did all the work \of'} cooking and serving and realized a clear profit of over $11.00 on this one evening’s sale. The mon- ey will be used for different school improvements. The business meeting of the farmers was successful. More men joined as active members and fur- ther steps were taken in the mat- ter of a rural telephone. A very practical evidence of the value of this farmers’ club was shown dur- ing the past week. A certain firm in one of the iron range towns needed a car of potatoes; they made their need known to the secretary of the farmers’ club; the secretary visited three members and from them secured enough potatose to’ fill a car. These three farmers thus received fifty cents per bushel for potatoes on the car at Blackberry.

During 1912 the Minnesota Transfer handled 1,649 cars of im- migrant movables from other states destined to Minnesota points while during the first elevem months of 1913 the number handled was 2,- 243, a gain of 564 over the whole of 1912. While a majority of these cars only represent one family, some include the goods of several families and the commissioner be- lieves the total addition to the pop- ulation indicated by these figures will reach 12,000. There were also 2,359 homestead entries reported during the year by the United States land offices and real estate men report a re- newed activity in sales and a sub- stantial increase in values, espe- cially in Northern Minnesota, The department has conducted an extensive advertising campaign. which has resulted in 30,000 in- quiries from other states as to con- ditions here.

The superintendent starts.out by saying that his schief aim during the time he has had | charge of the farm has been to\ work out a system of farming that would be most profitable and prac- tieal for the farmers of the tim- bered sections. The report says: | “We have found that dairy farm- ing for general conditions is, with- out any question, the most profit- able, and entirely practical for the | gerat majority of farmers. Hog raising, to a limited extent, and | poultry raising can be carried on with dairying. Beef cattle and sheep can be kept to advantage) under certain conditions, but the dairy cow should be the foundation, of agriculture in the timbered sec- | tion.” In speaking of the best crops to be grown in the section, Super- intendent, MeGuire says that it has been found that oats, clover, fod- der corn, potatoes and rutabagas are the most profitable field crops, for general conditions. Any or all of the field crops common ita Minnesota can be grown, but for | the farm of 40 acres or less under theplaw, the crops mentioned will prove of the most advantage as the principal field crops. In cer- | tain locations and under certaim conditions farmers may specialize to “advantage in vegetables and small fruits, but as yet the field for this is limited.
