ATTRACTS ATTENTION

THAT Bayfield, county is able
to deliver the goods when it
comes to fruit raising is evil
denced by the following article
which appeared in the Milwau-
kee papers last week.
bayfield, county the most
northern county in Wisconsin,
is attracting the especial atten-
ton of fruit experts at the state
fair. The board of supervisors
of Bayfield, county appropriated
$500 this year for an adequate
county fruit exhibit at the state
fair, and four large tables are
filed with fruit such as would
provide line color pictures for
artists or fruit journals.
Bayfield, juts far out into Lake
Superior so that the lake bounds
it on three sides and affords
peculiar climatic conditions
which has given the county the
appelation "the orchard of the
far north" The exhibit is in
the charge of Herbert Ell. Burns
of Washburn and J. HI. Sykes of
Bayfield, township, Bayfield,"
Bayfield, county is beginning
to be looked upon as the fruit
belt of the middle west and it is
deserving of all that can be said
about it in this line. For a time
knockers" tried to discourage
the fruit raising idea in this
county but their time has passed
for demonstration and tests have
proven beyond a doubt that this
is the ideal fruit section of the
state.
