Mo- tn IN Wisconsin.

Il met Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson at the Auditorium in Chicago
a few DAYS ago." said Samuel Buch-
man Of Wausau at the Plankint0n re-
Gently, land formed one of the party
that included several Wisconsin men
when the agricultural resources Of
the unbroken- country Of the Middle
West were under discussion. The
talk turned to the northern portion Of
Wisconsin and it doubtless will be in
teresting to repeat some OF the views
expressed by the head Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Secretary Wilson talked in a man
ner that showed he has been watching
the Agricultural development of the
northern part Of this state with great
interest; and not only that, for it was
evidont he had come into possession
Of much knowledge regarding unde-
veloped possibilities. He told us that
the Department of Agriculture in
tended, in the near future, to begin
experiments on a large scale in North
ern Wisconsin in the planting of DIFF
ferent kinds Of grain brought from
other countries in the same latitude.
8 The northern part of Wisconsin
is going to be great agricultural
country the secretary said. We
have been making a study of it, and
expect to accomplish great deal in
bringing out its merits. 1t is pos
sible, too, that something will be done
in the state in the matter of refores-
tration. Our agents have been at
work and are enthusiastic over the
general prospect for Improvement
One thing especially would like to
compliment the people Of Wisconsin
on especially Northern Wisconsin =
and that is the high class Of immi-
grants it is attracting. No better i'm
migrants are to be found anywhere
else in the country where former tim
Der land is to be made over into land
for farming and stock raising pur-
poses
1.-The secretary was asked what he
thought about Northern Wisconsin
land as an investment, add he replied
that where land in Northern Wiscor-
sin could be purchased to-day at a
reasonable figure the investment
would be one Of the best Of which he
had any knowledge. He was particu
l&rly enthusiastic with regard to land
where the red clay soil predominotes."
