ADVERTISEMENTS Y, ere Necessity has taught the thrifty peasants of Europe the golden value of manure. Every ounce is painstakingly re- turned to the soil, even if it must be done by hand to get good distri- bution.

Wallace of Perham, Minn., Is a Small Scotchman -With a Big Family and a Big Gr‘a_sp of Farm Problems This is a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Sam G. Wallace of Perham, Minn., and a few of their children. Mr. Wallace is the father of 20 children, of whom 17 are living. EADERS of the Nonpar- tisan Leader already know Sam G. Wallace of Perham, Minn., through the letters he has writ- ten on matters of inter- est to League members, which have been published from time to time. However, you ought to get better ac- quainted with Sam G. Wallace. He is a typical League farmer, and a fighter for over 20 years for liberal political and economic measures. Mr. Wallace was born in Scotland 64 years ago. He is the father of 20 children, 8 by his first wife, who died in 1888, and 12 by his present wife. Seventeen of Mr. Wallace’s children are living today. - Mr. Wallace came to America in 1880 and settled in that year in the township where he at present lives and farms 230 acres of land. He-land-- ed in America with a total capital of $5, but today owns and operates one of the finest and most productive farms in Minnesota, which he himself hewed out of the wilderness. In the early ’80s, when Mr. Wallace started farming in Minnesota, there was no- body but Indians for neighbors. Mr. Wallace, since he came to the state, has completely cleared two farms and is now clearing his third, making it bear the fruits of the earth. In 1917 Mr. Wallace’s barn and other improvements on his land burn- ed down, causing a loss- of $11,000, which was covered by only $1,600 in- surance. This was a lesson for him. He has rebuilt his improvements with concrete, making them. fireproof. He now has a cement barn 40x66 feet, with cement mangers. He has a ce- ment chicken coop 12x32 feet; a ce- ment, rat-proof granary, 12x16 feet; a cement machinery shed, including garage, 125 feet long; a cement ice- house and refrigerator and other ce- ment buildings on his 230 acres. Mr. Wallace was one of the first farmers in Minnesota to join the Non- partisan league. He has always been a student of political and economic questions, and subscribes to all the liberal and progressive magazines. He is a great reader of books. In the fall of 1917, when the polit- ical gang in Minnesota made its first attempt to suppress and wipe out the Nonpartisan league, Mr. Wallace rode " nearly 200 miles in a “flivver” in 10 degrees below zero weather, with . three feet of snow on the ground, to hear President Townley of the League make a speech. Mr. Townley was prevented from speaking at several different places, but Mr. Wallace fol- lowed him around in his flivver until he finally heard him talk. When he finally met Mr. Townley, after his speech, and told him how far he had driven to hear him, Mr. Townley said: “Wallace, you're as nutty over this cause as I am.” Mr. Wallace told us this story in the Leader office the other day, where he “called to shake hands with the Leader staff. ey A few years ago Mr. Wallace har- vested 1,100 bushels of choice pota- toes. They were hand-picked Bur- banks of uniform size and superior quality. He was forced to sell them at 22 cents a bushel. He thought there was something “rotten in Den- This is_a picture of Mr. Wallace’s farm during the time he was erecting the | concrete buildings, which are now completed.
