1921-8-5 Eveleth, Harry Rabinowitz, Farmers Day

1 Eveleth To Hold Farmers' Day Products Exhibit. Harry Rabinowitz.

Agriculture. — The development of outlying lands within the Eve-
leth sphere of trading is fostered by the city administration, and
business organizations. "Much good land is available at from $15
to $25 an acre, according to location. Close-in wild land has been
sold at $40 an acre." The land pays well for development from its
"cut-over" state. Potatoes are an excellent crop on new land, then
a three-year rotation, oats or other grain, timothy or clover, and po-
tatoes is recommended. Clover is practically a weed in St. Louis
County, and in an average season it has been asserted that the yield
is "in round figures $100 worth of forage from an acre." Cleared
and ploughed land in the vicinity of Eveleth "is worth not less than
$100 an acre." It is excellent sheep land, and the pioneer farmer,
Wm. F. Haenke, has had surprisingly good results in sheep raising.
To Eveleth belongs the distinction of being the first city in the Range
country to establish a Farmers' Market, and "every year Eveleth
holds a' Farmers' Day, at which the products of the surrounding farms
are displayed and prizes awarded." Much of the future prosperity
of Eveleth lies in the proper development of surrounding agricultural
land.
