The Fertile Lands Of
North Wisconsin,

Few people realize the vast
opportunities that North Wis :
consin still holds out to til Z
homeless soil tillers IF this
country. That the Badger
state has at present 1000, 900
acres of unoccupied land 5
within. it's borders is not
known to many of our own
citizens, but such is t e case,
and many of these lands ar E
as productive as any in Amer I
lea. Recently COMMISSIONS r
of immigration A. D. Camp +
bell issued a statement in
which he set forth the pro-
ductivity of these unoccupied
lands as follows:
"We have in Wisconsin,,
yet unoccupied, at least 10, :
600, 900 acres of productiv E
soil as can be found anywher E
in America. This area is tn
hardwood timber belt of tn E
northern half of the state
tits suited to general farm :
ing and especially adapte d
to dairying and stock raisin 3
because of the wonderful
grass production, absolutely
pure water, and invigorating g
climate. 1t is not only clos Q
to the best markets, but ha S
a splendid market within it's
borders in the many manu- :
featuring towns that now
exist and the many more tina t
will result from the develop
ment of our multitude of mag

cheap and fuel is upon tn e
land.
1.-THE future high value Of
these lands is assured for the
reasons already eunmerated
and for the additional reasons
that such high paying crops
as cigar tobacco, sugar beets,
clover seed, potatoes an d
small fruits are produced.
Northern Minnesota an d
northern Michigan have SINH
lar areas equally adapted to
dairying although probably
not to the last mentioned
crops. If the landless map
wants manless land he ca n
find it in the areas mentioned.

Although the planting season for
many fruits is gone, it is not too late
to mention a species of blackberry
known as the Logan. 1t is very sue

to some climates In our country. 1t
yields wonderful crops. While the

He Craved Variety.

An Oregon editor once got big ad-
vertisement from place which sold
nothing but oysters. The place had
just opened, and, while the proprietor
was willing to advertise, he didn't have
the cash to spend, so the newspaper
man took card which entitled him
to $40 worth Of oysters. "a few days
later tramp printer strolled into the
Gazette Office and wanted job" re-
lates the editor. II had nothing to
offer him, but told the man he might
sleep back In the composing room, and
as he had no money to buy food l
gave him the meal ticket on the oys-
ter parlor. l didn't hear from him
again for more than week. One day
he came into the office looking a bit
drawn and worn. L don't want to
seem dissatisfied with what you've
done for me. Mr.. Carter said he, and
I'm willing to admit that the luscious
bivalve is wonderfully fine bit of
food, but for heavens sake can't you
get an ad. from ham and egg en-
porium?"
