uPpER pENINsULA FAIR.


The Marquette Mining Journal in
Is issue Of August Both contained
lengthy interview with the Hon. Peter
White in which he advocated. the
institutiug Of an upper peninsula fair.
The idea is good one and it Is TO be
hoped that the suggestion will be
taken mp and acted upon by those in
the peninsula having its interests at
heart. We're produce extracts from
the article below.
Mr.. White remarked that not until
this summer had he realized the
advanced stage that agriculture in
this section has reached. From
observing newspaper comments on the
subject, he has become considerably
interested in it aud during the past
couple Of months when he has been
a way from home the greater part of
the time most journeying on the
upper peninsula, he has made prac-
tice Of sizing up the farms and
fields and talking with men informed
concerning upper peninsula agricul.
ture. He says ne has been constantly
astonished with what he has seen and
what he has heard and he is as firmly
convinced that this section has a
bright agricultural future as he is Of
the importance Of securing the greatest
possible diversity Of industries north
of the straits.
Mr. White has found farming par
J ticularly well advanced in Menominee,
AIger, Chippewa, Luce, Delta and
Schoolcraft counties. OF course
Marquette is a good deal Of an
agricultural county, That goes with
ont saying In each Of these seven
counties the farmers and their fam
lies are beginning TO form an import
ant and more or less influential elem
emit in the population.
The better class Of them own attrac
homes, sufficient equipments Of
machinery, their own goodly acres
and have money in the bank. Thii
refers TO men who have gone in an'
grappled with the s0il and not to thu
more Fortunate moneyed farmers wh'
are operating on big scale Their

ninsula. but the bulk Of the farming
