General Character Of Northern

Consider ably more than two
thirds of the land of Wisconsin

the exact geographical center of
the state) is, according to the
geological survey, a clayey loan,
loamy clay and heavy red clay
soil. The balance consists of a
sandy loan, swamp soil and sand

rens; the latter generally con-
Sidered t., he Of little or no value.
So far as the alleged worthless
sand barrens are concerned, The
Twentieth Century Home and

general criticisms, because it be-
1ieves that with proper seeding
and growing of alfalfa in accord
