TEN YEARS. GROWTH
Continued from page u

crease of 1875 per cent. This statement
is the more startling when you remem-
Der that the increase in population was
10000 people, and the increase in farm
lands in round numbers was S13, SIT, 900.
One more statement still further en-
phasizes the prosperity of Chippewa
Valley. In 1910 the total value of do
nestle animals was So, SIS, 528.
While no man can forecast the future
we must remember that the use of
electricity for manufacturing purposes
is constantly increasing and better
methods are continually being discov-
cred by which given amount of power
electrically developed will produce
greater results. The story of the Chip
pewa Valley is not likely to be written
for at least twenty years. During this
time men who are lucky enough to
secure real estate holdings will reap
the benefits of their foresight.
In the above statement have given
a comparison covering the land in
Chippewa and Rusk Counties in 1900,
compared with the same area in 1910.
| believe that the other sections of the
State will be much interested in learn
ing of the development of Rusk Coun-
ty. The present population of Rusk
County according to the Census of
1910 is II, 100 people. There are 1,O69
farms.
The area of Rusk County is 592, 900
acres. Of this lis, 638 acres are in
Guided in farms. The total value of
all farm property in Rusk County is
So, 1926, 1929. The average price of all
farm lands in Rusk County is $40 O3
per acre. The value of all domestic
animals in the county is 1911 ,697.
With less than 20 per cent of the farm
land improved, this county presents
ideal conditions for the pioneer Most
of the land in this county equals the
best land in the state. When it IS re-
membered that the number of cheese
factories in the State of Wisconsin,
according to the report of the Dairy
& Food Commissioner, equals the num-
Der of dairies in the rest of the United
States, the Importance of the dairy
interests is realized. When to this is
added the fact that the value of the
dairy products of Wisconsin when
more than half developed is
more than the total amount of gold
produced in Alaska, Calf
ornia, Nevada, Colorado and Utah
combined, we are confronted with the
possibility that within a few short
years the dairy interests of Wisconsin
will bring to it's people more wealth
each year than all the gold mined un-
der the American flag in the same
length of time. Certainly Rusk County
can look forward to the farming inter-
ests as one of its great mainstays of
wealth.
