The Democrat ventures the predic-
ton that before the close of another
year there will be general advance in
the price of real estate throughout
southwestern Wisconsin, and that
never again will broad acres of our
blue grass region be offered at SO
low figures as they sell for at the pres
ent time. Farm land in this section
rules lower in price than in many other
portions of the state; not because the
land is poor or far distant from mar
ket. We believe that it is because the
owners have been slow to use it for the
purpose for which it is best adapted.
In the eastern part of the state, where
dairying has been most successfully
carried on, to the exclusion of grain
raising, farms-Which experienced far
mers say are not whit better than a
majority of the farms of Iowa county
sell at from $75 to $125 per acre,
with more buyers than farms. It is
because the farm owners here have
come to realize the situation, that the
land is certain to advance in price.
Ours is a grass growing, not a grain
growing section. It is the natural
home of the dairyman; and when
dairying becomes the leading industry
increased prosperity will surely follow.
The average price realized for the milk
of their cows by the patrons Of the
Mineral Point creamery during the
year 1893 was SO cents per cwt., be-
side value being added to the farms
by keeping COWS upon them. This
was surely doing well for what has
been generally termed dull season.
Butter and cheese making are indus
tries which, we believe, cannot be over
done, as the demand for dairy prod
ucts is constantly on the increase.
The present Importance of dairying is
shown by the fact, noted elsewhere in
this paper, that there are more than
one hundred students enrolled in the
dairy department of the University Of
Wisconsin, while no less than two
hundred applicants were refused ad-
nilsson during the present term, the
limit as to numbers having been
reached. The growing Importance of
tion dairy business, for which this Sec
ton is naturally adapted, together with
the fact that the opport+ity no longer
exists of securing good cheap homes
in the west, forces the conviction that
land here is bound to increase in
price.
