Many Settlers Coming Into Upper
Wisconsin.

Il never saw SO many settlers com
ing into a country, as | did in upper
Wisconsin a few days ago" said Prof.
Moore of the College Of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin. Now is
the time to buy land there for it will
soon be jumping in price, and there is
no question about the crops it will
grow" People are clearing the land
and making homes which will remain
for others even should the pioneers
leave. This, Prof. Moore believes, is
due largely to the work being done by
the branch experiment stations which
are showing what can actually be done
on the ground; and to the efficient ad
vertising of that work by the State
immigration Commissioner and the
Advancement Association.
