like the following:
Henry Schroeder, near Dil-
worth, Clay County, Minnesota,
in the spring of 1911, bought 420
acres of land paying $75.00 an
acre for it. He planted it all in
potatoes and in the fall the potato harvest brought him Si20.00
an acre, or in other words, paid
for the farm and left him $45.00
an acre clear money besides.
Mr. E. D. Grant, the Secretary of the Clay County, Minnesota Potato Growers Association, in 1911, planted 80 acres to
potatoes in the same locality,
and the crop sold for $8,976.00,
or $112.00 an acre.
These potatoes were grown in
Minnesota and North Dakota
and there are thousands of
acres in these states that will
duplicate these yields and returns. Minnesota is noted too
for the quality of its potatoes.
Keep up the war cry, "Back to
the goil," the facts justify it.
Almost every section of this
state is a banner potato producer, and Morrison county should
lead the world in potato production.

cured from Karl Kapsner.
With the material in Pierz.
and surrounding country for a
ball team, and the facility for
obtaining games with other
teams along the Soo line, the
enthusiasm and energy of our
manager and individual players
should mark the season of 1912
a most successful one. A few
of our players have played in
moderately fast teams. With a
little practice, the whole aggregation should be at least e-
qual to the semi-professional
teams of our neighboring villages and cities.
There is only one thing lacking for the success of the team.
Can you guess it'*1 It is the
mazuma, penge, geld, dust,
dough, spondulex—call it what
you please-the necessary article to give them the proper
start. There is the grand
stand to repair, balls and bats
to buy etc., which all takes
money; and it is almost tco
much to expect tin- members of
the team to advance it- Only a
small sum from each of the fans
will give them the required a-
mount. It is admitted that the
management of baseball affairs
the last two }xears was not
kept sufficiently rigid; but from
all indications, such will not be
tlie case this 3'ear.
So long   as   we   furnish
in the country is so rich in -
ical talent.    We had good bands
here years ago;   but   because a
few members   moved   to   other
parts of the country, the   interest in music of   those   who   remained, lagged more and    more
as the meetings   and   practices
became fewer and   further   between until they ceased   entirely.    And now, it is only on ver-
y rare occassions that we   hear
the sound of a baritone   or of a
cornet.
It is true, many of the   members of the   old   bands   can   no
longer be expected to take ver-
y active parts in such an organization; but, in numbers, if   not
in ability, their places   can   be
more than filled   by   promising
youngsters.    Such   members of    ________________________________________________

mise became  strong   in   John's
mind, that a good find might be
made there. Accordingly, he
shouldered his-shovel to do a
iittle prospecting in the hole
out of which the wolf had been
seen to come. The opening
was found on the south side of
a perpendicular bank of Platte
about eight feet above the water's edge. John did not then
know whether or not the old
wolf had reentered her nest.
and felt a trifle nervous and
arid hesitating as he stood there
with no other means of defence
at hand, but that of Ids shovel.
As no scraggy .onr, however,
bounded into sight, and no
snarling sound issued from the
nest, John finally perked up ■••
nough courage to try tlie depth
of the hole, which he found to
be not more than about three
feet. With the Iirst withdraw
el of his shovel he found upon
it three unwieldy, whining.
sightless wolves about live or
six days old. Altogether, there
was a litter of ten young ones
in the nest, which John exhibited around ti ii-sday morning. With a bounty of $3.50 for
each, which we believe is correct,   the find is worth $3.. 00.
