Are You Going?
THE pLACE-lN MICHlGAN; THE
TiME-NovEMsER z.

Great agricultural develop 1ent Ii
going on in Michigan's fruit belt. The
awakening is as much in diversified
farming as In fruit growing. Retarded
until late years by lumber interests
The over-population of the part OF the
United States surrounding this district
! Is now forcing tillage of it's every
acre.
Attention has been widely attracted
TO Michigan's fruit belt by the superior
flavor of it's fruits. by It's wide range
OF staple crops, by its Incompatible
advantage in marketing, being located
ut the hub of the nations population
and commerce and by greater profits
20 growers because Of no irrigation ex-
pense. The rainfall is plentiful. The
United States department of agricul
ture defines the fruit belt as he mar
row strip Of country In the southern
peninsula bordering Lake Michigan
and extending twenty to thirty miles
eastward, and as having a climate that
enables cultivation with a success i'm.
possible in other regions of the same
latitude not similarly protected by the
Influence of Lake Michigan which
modifies the prevailing winds from the
west.
The conditions that here produce
better apples, peaches pears. plums
ard cherries, are also especially favor
able for potatoes and all vegetables,
peas. beans cereals. grasses, clover
and alfalfa. The food problem Is here
solved by the diversity Of crops. The
corn crop, as shown by statistics, com.
pares fayorably with yields Of states
in the corn belt, and makes stock ra:s.
ing profitable; but beyond the need for
stock, there are number Of other
crops more profitable. Poultry tnrives
in the freedom from vermin; no place
is better for sheep. and dairying is be-
coming more profitable every year
Probably no other spot In Michigan
is being developed and settled as rap
idly as the district in Mason. Manistee
and Lake counties, known as the Swig-
art Tract. Farmers. fruit growers. |
truck growers and stock
men are buying and settling in this
tract in such large numbers that twice
each month a special Pullman car,
and frequently two cars are required !,
for their accommodation.
