NORTH WISCONSIN
SEEN IN PICTURES
las Wonderful Opportunities Shown
at Farm Land Congress
In Chicago

One of the most interesting
features presented at the National
Farm Land congress held in Chicago
was the stereopticon exhibition by
ID. w. MaloDey, secretary of the
North Wisconsin Development associ-
alton, representing the counties or
Ashland, Lincoln, Oneida, Price, Rusk
and Taylor. by means of series OF
views, the story of the resources and
deyelC pn.ent of north Wisconsin was
told In a manner that could not help
but be convincing. 1t was reVela-
ton to many to learn that right here
within few hundred miles is re-
gion rich in natural resources and
golden opportunities, as yet largely
undevelOped, in other words, new
country, where land Is cheap and rich
rewards await the industrious settler.
1t was a surprise to learn that with
in 100 miles of 500 per acre farm
land is to be found wild land that is
equally productive, that can be had
at from $40 to SIS per acre, yet such
is the story told by this exhibition.
The idea that this new section OF
Wisconsin is in the far north was
thoroughly dispelled by man show
ing its location with reference to the
other principal regions of cheap
lands. The most northern point of
Wisconsin is 500 miles south of Ed
monton, one of the chief wheat CEN
ters of Alberta Nearly all of North
Dakota, and over half, and that the
most produtive half, OF Montana, are
entirely to the north of Wisconsin.
Closeness To Marke S. =.
Another important point shown
by this map is the advantageous To-
cation of Wisconsin with reference to
markets, a matter of utmost import
ance to the farmer. Productivity is
only one element in the value of farm
land, proximity to market is OF equal
if not greater Importance. In this re-
spect the new Wisconsin has all other
areas of low priced land beaten to
a frazzle,' to use a Roosevelt ex-
preston.
Northern Wisconsin is within easy
distance of the great market centers,
and is connected with them by many
important railroad systems, besides
having cheap water transportation by
way of the Great Lakes. From Chi
cago, the chief price maker $50
miles brings one into the heart OF
this section, while one must travel
1900 miles to reach Alberta. The
adverse effect on the Alberta farmer
Is plainly apparent To show that
this effect is no mere theory, prices
of farm products were quoted. The
prices given were those of staple
grains in Calgary, an important Al
berta market, and in Minneapolis,
prices Icing for the same day
Following is the comparison:

The general features Of the country

proof of the sufficiency of rainfall,
