ITO BE Continued.
A PROSPEROUS STATE.
Wisconsin Lands Cheap VIII
Advance In the Future,


Advance I'm the Future.
The investigator will find that no
matter where In Wisconsin he may go.
! farm lands are cheap in comparison
with lands equally productive and
equally well located in other states.
In fact 1t is difficult to find anywhere
lands as productive as those of Wiscon,
sin. This Is especially true when the
| fact is taken into consideration that the
price of Wisconsin crops per bushel or
per ton is almost always higher than in
other states.
Recently the Wisconsin Advancement
association got out series of articles
on various southern Wisconsin counties
in comparison with the highest priced
counties of Illinois, Indiana and Iowa.
Taking the census figures as the basis
of calculation, II was found that the
production per acre was greater In the
Wisconsin counties while the prevail
ing prices of farm lands was less than
one half that of the counties in the
other states. In connection, the crops
of some Of some of the upper counties
We're given and proved to be about the
same in value IA those of the southern
counties.
The fact liz thus established that
Wisconsin lands are lower in price
than prevailing conditions warrant
They will advance in the future. Any
owner Of n farm in the southern part OF
the state will do well TO note these facts
and not be in "a hurry TO sell. The idea
that to considerable extent has pre-
vailed. that the farms in the older Wis
cousin counties have reached the limit
in price, Is not consistent with the
facts brought out in this series Of arti
Giles.
If the people Of Illinois, Indiana and
Iowa knew that more productive lands
could be- obtained in the older sections
of Wisconsin for less than half what
they cost Mt home, there would be de-
mand for these farms perhaps equal TO
the present demand for undeveloped
land in the upper counties. Thus the
whole state should be interested in
placing Wisconsin before the public.

that anyone who o dares to at

The men who go to make up this

Doubtless, in the beginning, no
