The Tidal Wave of Occupation Has
Turned.
(Contributed.)

Contributed
Agriculture is said to be the most
healthful, useful and noble employment
of man.
And yet few years ago the tidal
wave carried away into the cities actual
farmers, farmers sons, farm renters,
and the farmers hired help and the
whole family.
The farm was seemingly snapped for
the enticing city day wage, that could
in the city be earned.
But the city life is so cobwebbed and
tangled up into thousand of wants that
go with it, that have to be bought and
paid for out OF that one income, the
daily wages, that this new life of our
farmers became a disappointment.
Instead of so many incomes on the
farm, there is only one income in town,
and if the head of the family stopped
work one day, then the income stopped
too, but expenses are coming at such
rapid pace, that it would slide right on
and never stop at all.
So everything to buy and everything
to pay for with that day wage income,
day by day, began to finally act like a
life and death race, not knowing which
would come out ahead.
There was the grocery man, the
milkman, the butcher, the clothier, the
shoe man, the now and then livery bill,
the gas and fuel bills, and bread bills.
and vegetables, the fruit, the bicycle
repair bills for the whole family, the
laundry bill, and the city tax, to say
nothing about the nine hundred and
ninety-nine other smaller odd bills that
bumped up in between the others so
tight, that the $1.50 day wage had not
the power of half stick of dynamite
in dislodging any of them. So becoming
desperate the city ex-farmers dragged
forward some of the stuff laid away
for rainy day on the farm, and tried
that for relief in troubles of debts.
And now both the present and former
funds of earnings have disappeared, but
the awful debts are going right on, like
black clouds, growing blacker and big
ger, and now and then soar in the dis

Each year as the land becomes more
subdued and matured the corn crop be-
comes better and larger. 1t is the ex :
perience of all new countries, the frs
settlers think they cannot raise corn.
1t was so in southern Wisconsin and
Minnesota. However we are In posi-
ton TO show samples from many fields
of Rusk county corn that will compare
favorably with that raised anywhere.
The Grassland car, now travelling on
the railroads for exhibit purposes, has
many samples of Risk county corn.
Our corn is not only large but specially
hard and firm.
Tobacco culture will be common in
the future as a crop yielding large re-
turns per acre. There is probably no
crop that will yield as much cash per
acre as tobacco and it has been shown
that it grows exceedingly we'll here.
Of the ordinary crops nothing needs
be said, further than that our rich soil
produces them in very large yields.
WHERE TO co.
AS a nation we are land hungry. We
all know that there never will be but
the one crop of land and that that crop
is going rapidly. Nearly all the land
east of the Missouri river has been
taken. The choice is between our sec
ton and the far west. Here we have
steady, quiet weather, there Billiards
that are dangerous to life. Here we
have trains every day in the winter,
there when they can get through.
Here we have the finest water, there it
is generally alkah. Here we have
cheap building material OF which COM
Portable homes can be made, there ex-
ira costly lumber which means costly
and too frequently uncomfortable
buildings. Here fuel costs the effort
to cut it, there it is expensive and
often impossible to secure. Here your
stock drink from purling brooks, there
from ponds with alkali deposit. Here
there is employment at all times, there
but small part of the year. Here a
crop failure, which we do not have,
would mean more or less loss, there it
would mean absolute failure. Here
YOU have all the elements for the dairy
and stockraising upon which alone high
priced land is possible in the future,
there you have none of them. Here
YOU have the lowest freight rates to the
central markets, there you have the
highest. Here your physician, your
dentist, your school, your church., your

4. Distance to market. These pow
ers are happily located where mater
ial and market meet" They could not
be more favorably located. Manifest
destiny" has played well her part in
this arrangement.
A brief consideration Of the situation
forces the conclusion that under all the
advantages enumerated the economic
value of these powers is many times
the amount stated And will anyone
assume that such value will long be
left unappropriated? In the natural
order of things it cannot be. Three
railroads are already headed toward and
now but a short distance away from
them.
INFLUENCE on LAND VALUES.
Everyone knows that the value of
land is determined by nearness to mar
ket and that manufacturing and COM
mercial industries constitute that mar
ket. Now what will the utilizing of
$4,000 horse power mean? It will de-
pend largely upon the class of Industries
some will employ one person to the
horse power, some more and some less.
One person per horse power, would
mean $4,000 people employed and their
families to be fed. Put it at two or
three or five to the horse power and
you still have an immense factor in
market making, found in few equal
areas anywhere in America. We will
assume that one person is employed for
each five horse power and that one-half
have families, and we have:
Persons employed .............5,0 900
Families of employees. .. -, $500
Now assume that it costs each family
$500 per year to live and We have:
Persons employed. .....5,0 900
Families of employees ........2,5 500
$500 families, $500 per year. 81, 900, 900
But these are under-fgures and the
one million dollars should be two mil
lions or more. Then, too, comes sub
sidiary institutions and employments
and all the other incidents to hive Of
industry, the cities and towns, the result
ing shops and factories, the profession
al men and others thus attracted.
FURTHER FIGURING.
The full development outlined could
not make an additional market of less
than So, 900, 900. There are about II
townships within 10 miles Of these pow
ers. Now, assuming that one-third Of
these So, 100000 was drawn from this
territory. which is an under-fgure, it
would mean over $500 from each quar-
ter section In the whole district an
additional home market of more than
$500 from each farm Of 100 acres.
What effect on farm values? And
these figures are but a fraction of the
possibilities.

A Rusk county farmer called at the

from nothing. He finds that is as
badly crippled as man can be in get
ting a start. But he is getting that
start-and that is the point This man
says that to have piece of timber
and enough to carry one over a season
is all that is needed. All kinds of
timber is so valuable that it pays the
farmer we'll while he is clearing and
the fertility of the soil makes it doubly
valuable when cleared. That is the
talk.

A Christmas Carol.

In Bethlehem, in Bethlehem,
A little child was born,
And DER it's lowly manger-bed
The star stood still at morn.
o Bethlehem, o Bethlehem,
Quaint town so far away,
May he who in that manger slept
Smile down on US today
In Bethlehem, in Bethlhem,
Our Lord and Savior lay,
And there the stream of love began,
Which flows until this day.
o Bethlehem, o Bethlehem,
Through all the flying years
The star has shone, and angels sung:
''Peace, o We men of fears"
AT Bethlehem, at Bethlehem,
The angels sang to men;
o Lord, attune our hearts to hear
That heavenly song again!
