why alfalfa should not do well on all
the well drained lands OF Wood coUn.
ty. Information on how to establish
alfalfa may be obtained from the
Wisconsin College of agriculture or
from the Wisconsin Advancement as
sociation.
After all, the fundamental strength
is, and always will be, in the dairy
ing industry that is already well es-
tabIished in Wood county. 1t is a
commercial fact that 400 pounds Of
butter is worth more than 100 bu-
shells of wheat, and it is a scienti-
fic fact that the 400 pounds of but
ter contains II cents worth of fer
tility while the 100 bushels of wheat
contains $23.58 worth OF the same e
dement's of fertility Where viii the
be at the end of, say, 20 years? The
farmers of Wood county are wise in
dairy farmer and the wheat grower
keeping up the dairy industry.
Your county is spIendidly located
in the foremost agricultural state in
the Union. You are producing good
results and can increase them to a
very great extent. Your farmers ought
ito have no doubt that they used
good judgment in locating where they
did.
1 have said little about the clay
loan portions of your country for
the reason that their fertility is so
we'll known that it is unnecessary to
discuss them.

The counties and sections Of the
west and southwest included in the
following table may be classed with
cheap lands available to the home
seeker. In those making the better
returns irrigation is practiced to a
large extent and at great cost, which
should be taken into account. The
returns per acre are computed by
taking the census yields and apply
ing the April, 1912, farm values
as published in the United States
Crop Reporter. These farm values"
give the prices received by the farm
er and charge the freights where they
belong. Thus we find that in Wis
consin barley was worth $1.O8 and In
Montana SIC. The actual average
return to the farmer was as fol-
lows.

This showing is certainly favor
able to Wood county at the present
price of lands. If, however, the farm
ers of Wood county had grown more
potatoes, your average would have
been much higher. I am informed
that since the census year progress
has been made in placing the produc.
ton Of potatoes on a commercial ba-
sis. The improved machinery for
the production of potatoes costs no
more than for growing other crops,
and with such special machinery the
labor of growing them is scarcely
more than for the growing of corn.
The machine sprayer is largely the
secret of the production of maximum
crops of potatoes, that and the ad-
dition of humus TO the soil.
The introduction of alfalfa in Wood
county will be of wonderful benefit,
in the dry seasons as it
will fill the soil with roots that
when decayed, will hold lots of wa
ter. Aside from the possibility of
acidity, which can easily be correct
ed if it prevails there is no reason

MERRILL CON.
CERT FINE
Prot. G. W. Merrill at His Best
Concert Fine Attendance
Large.

The Merrill Concert given at the
Congregational church was attended
by between four and five hundred
pleased people. The main auditor
ium was completely filled and about
three-fourths of the Sunday school
room was also filled. The concert
was decided success from any an
gle you care to look at it and more
especially a success from a musical
standpoint. 1t is seldom that such
high grade talent is brought together
on one program. The concert speaks
volumes for the musical reputation
of Grand Rapids. The class of mu-
sic handled and the fact that every
artist is a citizen of Grand Rapids
makes the glory of such musical
tract all the more satisfactory to
the music loving people of the city.
The program opened with an over
ture by the orchestra which was play
ed we'll.
The violin duet by Mrs. Kellogg
and Miss MacKinnon accompanied
by Mrs. Frank Natwick was so we'll
liked that the ladies were compeH
ed to respond with an encore
Miss Ruby Natwick's appearance
was greeted with applause. Her vo-
cal solo, Spring Song, with violin OBJ
lgato was heartily encored and she
responded by singing Baby Dear"
Miss MacKinnon's violin solo,
Spanish Dance, showed skill in the
use of the instrument and a facile
technique, The solo was greatly ap-
preciated and she delighted the au-
dience by responding to hearty ap-
plause by playing that old favorite,
Loves Old Sweet Song"
Messrs. Bandelin and Merrill
played Titrs Serenade for clarinet
and violin with accompaniment by
Mrs. Geo. w. Paulus. There's a
wonderful dot of obligato execution in
this number and the skill with which
1t was played showed the master
ship that each performer has over
his instrument.
Professor Merrill opened the secont
part Of the program with a violin
solo. Professor Merrill was greet
ed with applause as he stepped out
on he platform. The solo showed
wonderful technique and command of
the instrument which with the ease
of playing aud tie big p11e tone slade
this number one of the best of the
evening. He responded witr an en-
core that showed velocity and abso-
lutte command of the vlioin.
The next was a double number
by the orchestra both of which were
we'll played and showed that we not
only have a good band but also
good orchestra.
Miss Ruby Natwick was next on
the program and sang two songs by
Cadman. Miss Natwick sang with
pleasing ease and power. She poss-
esses a voice of unusual clarity and
extended range.
Professor Merrill showed that he
was master of the cornet in his solo,
Grand Fantasie by Arban The agile
tongue, clear tone and wonderful exc,
cution which make up the cornet vir-
tuso were all there The Professor
smilingly denied the desired encore.
The concert closed with live rem
dition of that patriotic march, Old
Glory. Mrs. Frank Natwick and Mrs.
George w. Paulus were the accom-
panists and their close following of
the soloists phrasing added greatly
to the success of the music.
