Machines were devised to remove sediment from the cKUting canal. This sediment was thrown up alongside and on this "spoiUge graveled turnpikes hive been constructed in front of each (arni. The fields were tiled. Three yean ago the first crop was sowed. Cater pillar tractors pulled gang plows over the hunters' former paradise. Catuili gave place to flax and buck wheat. "Now there .are 9,000 acres of muck land as rich and fertile as any hot bed needs to be." said Mr. l'ayne. "There are over 6.000 acres of rich silt land without stone or stump to interfere with cultivation. "There are nearly 700 acres of corn; about 1.400 acres of the finest rye, and over 800 acres of clover and timothy, Sugar beets have been grown for three years, producing as nigh as 17 tons to the acre and un tuually rich in sugar content.

Stove Factory Here More Than Doubles Output Howard Stove and Furnace Company Adda Two En tirrly New Linei of Machines. In the face of discouragements and opposition, two Omaha men, George H. Tayne and T. F. Stroud, have drained a large tract of swamp land 10 miles northeast of Albert Lea, Minn. The Albert Lea Farms company owns the land; the Payne Invest ment company of Omaha has com pleted the drainage and farm work. Unlike the Scotts Bluff's tract which the Payne Investment com pany colonized in Nebraska, the problem of. the Albert Lea tract was to remove water from the sloughs. At Scottsbluff the problem was to get water to the land. Later the same company sold the farms of the late T. B. Hord, near Central City, divided and sold the Cook farm near Odebolt, la., and the Jim Hill farms in Red River val ley of Minnesota. Determined to rescue the land in the Albert Lea swamps, men of this firm investigated the project which failed 14 years ago, railed on the en gineer who originally ran the line9 and dug the big ditch, had the soil analyizcd from 100 samples for alkali spots or sour soil. They investigated the drained swamps of Kentucky, Louisiana, Florida, New' York and California, and gathered Volumes of informa tion about the dykes, dunes and ditches of old Holland. These investigations convinced them of the possibilities of the land if once drained, and the Albert Lea Farms company was organized.

One style is a very superior all-cast furnace that woulil be a credit to any eastern manufacturer. The merit of this fur nace has been acknowledged by the bea critics of the furnace industry. The other furnace i a medium-priced warm air heating device that can be iiihtaltid at very little more expense than a good heating stove an ideal bungalow furnace. The new "Beauty" range is all that the name implies, and the newly rimmed, all-cast "Elegant" range has no superior in elegance and last ill" qualities. The famous Howard overdraft heater has come out this year with more attractive features than any heater on the market. The Howard Stove and Furnace company's plant is located four miles west of Omaha's packing houses, on the main line of the Burlington rail road. It is but a few blocks from Seymour lake and at the end of the South Omaha and Ralston interurban electric line. The machinery of this plant is op erated entirely by electricity. . To anyone not familiar with the stove and furnace industry, time can be well spent in making a trip through this splendid factory. The company maintains a large foundry and nitkrl plating pluut where it moulds all its own castings and nickel plates all the trimmings. The short freight haul and excep tionally cood shinning facilities of Oinsta make it doubly attractive for dealers in heaters, ranges and fur inert to buv of the Howard Store and Furnace company.
