E. ]. Delwiche, Superintendent of the
Wisconsin Agricultural Station, has just
made report that is spreading excite
ment through the whole country. From
Maine to California, from Saskatchewan
to Texas, men are talking of nothing else.
1t is the biggest thing since the discov-
ery of the Yukon Gold.
For Delwiche has determined by &C
tual experiment that the "cut-over" lands
of Wisconsin, lying idle and fallow ever
since the pine timber was cut off and the
hardwood left standing-are the finest
farming soil in the whole north central
region of America Absolutely unex-
celled for cattle farming, for dairying, for
raising rye, oats and garden produce.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of this
land were in the hands of the lumber
companies. They bought for the pine
timber, and having cut the pine timber
Oeaving the hardwood and made good
profit from it they have turned this land
over to the American immigration Co.,
and letting it go at next to nothing. A
few farmers have been wise enough to
take advantage of the opportunity. They
knew that hardwood lands are always
good for agriculture. So they bought big
farms at very low price and cleared off
the second growth of timber. The ones
that had the foresight to go into these
lands several years ago are already get
ting wealthy.
