Mitchell Brothers, that the farmer is the backbone of the nation 
is an expression often used, and as the years pass by it is increasing 
in meaning.  The man who develops a farm, and by toiling early and 
late thereon, provides food for the use of the human race, is taking 
an important part as a producer, and is helping to solve one of the 
greatest problems of mankind.  Among those who have devoted their 
lives to the advancement of agricultural conditions in this county may 
be mentioned Alexander and John Mitchell, widely known as the efficient 
proprietors of the Lake Maria Stock and Grain Farm, formerly known as 
the Poplar Grove Stock & Grain Farm.  The place is located in sections 
5 and 32, Lynden township, and its many natural advantages have been 
brought to the highest stage of perfection by cultivation, intelligence 
and care.
