have been cultivating the sandy
soils Of the erstwllile 'pinery
woods" viii attract the atten-
ton of agricuturists who have
been studying the possibilities Of
irrigation in this latitude. In
California the richest soils are
sandy and hopelessly dry under
normal conditions; but when
these soils are artifcially water
ed they become exceedingly fer
tile. There are many lakes and
running streams in the sections
of Northern Wisconsin which
have been denuded of timber by
the lumberman, and it ought to
be possible to take advantage OF
the highlands around these lakes
and rivers for the construction
of reservoirs from which water
can be drawn for irrigation. Of
course the poor settler cannot
undertake this Individually, but
it could be done on the co-opera-
tive plan, as IN California. The
subject is an interesting one, as
the condition Of the growing
crops on the sandy lands Of the
pine sections is promisingenough
to warrant great expectations
The farms are readily grubbed,
owing to the friability OF the soil
and cultivation is therefore more
easy than III the case of heavy
clay soils

We take the following clipping
from the Eve ning W1sconsi in,
which is applicable to our coun
tv and soil as we'll as to the
county mentioned. We have
thousand of acres of tillable land
in this county that will grow
just as good crops as ever grew
in any place under the sun and
which can be purchased at a fair
price per acre.
THE weather conditions during
the present summer have been
very favorable to farming on
high lands, and to growing crops
on light soils. In the sandy sec
tions the crops are exceedingly
good, and farmers who have had
the courage to attempt the cul-
tivation of land that was form
erly covered by pine timber have
been rewarded for their labor,
and encouraged to enlarge their
plans for the future. In Mari
nette County, many farmers who
broke the virgin soil two years
ago have comfortable homes
surrounded by fine crops of grain
and vegetables. Potatoes are
developing finely, and large
crop is promised by the condi-
ton of the vines.
The soil in this section is com
posed of sand, ranging from
black to white. 1t has been de
monstrated that the black and
red sand loan can be titled with
success, and in a few years large
Arrears of land which have been
considered worthless will prob
ably be occupied by farmers and
covered with growing crops Of
grain vegetables. Home-seekers
are inquiring for tracts in the
pine sections. A large colony Of
Poles has been negotiating or a
tract of about 10000 acres in
Marinette county, and tits prob
able that thenew settlement will
be located there.
