Census Report Wrong

1.-The statement in the recent Gen.
sus bureau report that the land in
northern Wisconsin is rough and
unsuitable for farming, is totally
misleading, says Dean H. L. Rus
sell of the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin. 1T is
true, of course, that areas in parts
of almost every state are more or
less unsuited for agricultural use,
but to anyone who is familiar with
northern and central Wisconsin, it
is evident that in this region lies a
section of great potential wealth.
MANY of our most fertile sections
in the southern and eastern parts
of the state were once densely wood
ed, but are now in high state of
cultivation, continued Dean Rus
sell. I'm the not distant future a
similar condition will obtain in
many portions of northern Wiscon-
sin. Grasses and clovers develop
there in great profusion and the
next decade will see the dairy in
dustry a. strongly entrenched in the
new north as in other portions of
the state"

street, was held up near the Seibert-
Johnson factory on Tuesday even
ing, while on her way to the pas
senger depot to take the $3.50 train
home. Miss Anderson was hurrying
along unsuspicious of danger when
the robber threw his arm around
her neck and held her until he had
succeeded in grabbing her handbag
and purse, when releasing her he
started off at brisk run through
the underbrush at the rear of the
factory and succeeded in making
his escape before aid could be sum-
moned. Later, a man answering
the description given by Miss And
erson was captured by deputy sher-
iff Larson on the east-bound
train at the depot and was subse-
quently Unidentified by Miss Ander-
son as her assailant. He gives his
name as Phil O'Brien and is
stranger in the town. He was ar
raigned before Judge Arnquist yes

ceny and will have his hearing
Friday. Miss Anderson's purse
contained about four dollars in
money and other articles of value.
When searched $1.35 was found on
the prisoner. No doubt is enter

Not for years, perhaps never, has
the old "Wadsworth" house been

The spacious rooms lent them

ened by the beautiful California
holly. Two large heavily laden
trees contributed to the beauty of
the scene and the happiness of all.
The bountiful Christmas dinner
included everything one could wish
for.
The evening was given up to
music and dancing. Mr.. Jones
with his violin, and Mr.. Marshall

Farming is becoming more and
more a business proposition requir
ing business methods. Increased
land values, higher cost of labor,
increased use of machinery, have
greatly changed the problems of
the farmer. While a farmer does
not do business with as many
people as does the ordinary bust
ness man, he does business with a
number of amin ais and crops, any
one of which is as likely to cause
him loss as is any DDS Of a mer-

because the value of meat has so
greatly increased that cheese has
been substituted in lieu thereof.
ST. Croix county is traversed by
three trunk lines of railways lead
ing to ST. Paul and Minneapolis,
where is located population of
over half million. The inspection
of the dairy trains leading to these
cities will show that the pastures of
St. Croix county furnish milk to
these cities without passing through
the expensive process of manufac-
ture. AS population increases in
the Twin Cities, this item of milk
will continue to make heavier de-
mands upon the pastures of St.
Croix county. Already large guam
titles of milk are being gathered in
Wisconsin east of St. Croix county
and carried to Minnesota for con-
sumption.
In all probabilities the population
of ST. Croix county will increase at
least fifteen per cent in the next ten
years. In proportion to Manitowoc
county its land values are on an
average nearly $23 90 per acre less.
Land values in Manitowoc county
are increasing by leaps and bounds
and are likely soon to be as valu-
able as those of Dodge county,
which are given at present at $4,000
per acre. AS the western part of
the United States increases in pop
ulation, the land values of St. Croix
county are bound to double and
treble. When it is remembered that
the bulk of the pasture lands in the
United States lie east of the Miss
issippi and north of the Ohio Rivers
and that the center of our popula-
ton is in Indiana, it is easy to
prophesy great changes for St.
Croix county in the near future.

DAIRY VALUES

The domestic animals in St.
Croix county in the last census are
given at $2,864,850. Manitowoc
county has nearly the same area and
its domestic animals are valued at
only 100000 more than those of ST.
Croix county. Manitowoc county
lies on the opposite side of the
state and contains 10000 popula-
ton more than ST. Croix county. 1t
is interesting to note that in Mani
towoc county in 1900 the average
value of farm land per acre was
$50 rs and in 1910 it was given at
$57.72 per acre.
From 1905 to 1908 the figures pub
lished by the University of Wiscon
sin show that between these two
dates the amount of butter produced
in Manitowoc county had only in
creased 62,318 pounds, while St.
Croix county during the same per-
iod of time had increased its output
420, 800 pounds. Manitowoc cou MY
in 1909 reported only 299, 164 pounds
of butter while ST. Croix county re-
ported a production of 2,252, 1877
pounds. An examination of the
production of cheese in these two
counties is quite remarkable. St.
Croix county decreased its produc-
ton 1864 pounds during the
same period. while Manitowoc coun-
ty increased its production $780,
609 pounds. The report of 1909
shows that in the year Manitowoc
county produced 1857 ,O86 pounds
of cheese.
These figures, showing such
radically different results, are east
~ accounted for. Manitowoc coun-
ty lies on Lake Michigan and her
energies are turned toward the pro-
duction of cheese as a food product
to supply the great cities of Lake
Michigan, The price of cheese has
| rapidly increased in recent years

PROGRESS In ST. CROIX
COUNTY

By Hon. H. w. Mylrea, Secretary OF
the Wisconsin Advancement Asso-
citation, and formerly Attorney
General.
This county lies directly east
from the Twin Cities of Minnesota
and borders on the ST. Croix River.
From the earliest settlers down un-
til quite recently the chief industry
has been numbering. The soil was
originally covered with dense
growths of pine and hardwood. The
pine is nearly gone bat there are
yet large quantities of hardwood
which is rapidly being manufactur-
ed into lumber. Owing to the re-
moval of the lumberjack to the other
forest regions, the county shows no
increase in population during the
past decade.

THE FUTURE

Conditions are fast changing.
Lands that were once despised and
thought to be worthless are now be-
ing found valuable for agricultural
purposes. New farms are being
opened up and ST. Croix county has
nearly passed through the state of
quiescence which always follows the
saw-mill. The numerous water
powers in and adjacent to St. Croix
county are rapidly being developed
and much of this power is bound to
be used locally. The chief industry
is likely to be agriculture for the
next twenty-five years. The signs of
the times indicate that this portion
of Wisconsin is sure to receive many
new settlers.
The area of st. Croix county is
$4,000 acres. The amount of land
devoted to farms outside of cities
and villages, according to the last
census, was All, 1892 acres, being
gain during the last decade of nearly
10000 acres in farm area. This
leaves only about $4,000 acres of
land outside of what is known as
farm lands, most of which is occu
pied by cities, villages. railroad
purposes, etc. When this fact is
clearly understood it will be seen
that from this time forth the price
of farm lands must rise in value as
the population increases. The pop
ulation of the county in round num-
bers is $4,000 people. Being located
so near the rapidly growing Twin
Cities, the dairying interest must de-
velop the farms much faster than in
the past.
In the past decade the value of
farm property in St. Croix county
has grown at the rate of ten per
cent per annum. AS shown by the
census returns in 1900 the total val
ne of farm property in this county
was given at $12, O22, 721. Ten years
later, with an increase in farming
area of only 10000 acres, the farm
property of St. Croix county is
given at $23 1898, 1881. In 1900 the
average value of farm land is given
at $40 IS per acre and in 1910 the
average value is given at $50 80 per
acre.

WILSON VICTORY IS AN OLD STORY Congressman Heflin Dis
 cusses Democrats Future CONTROL CONGRESS
States Building of Battleships Is Fool ishness and Smiles at Colonel ROosevelt's Montgomery
 Utterances

Congressman Tom Heflin, after de- livering speech yesterday at Colum- biana in behalf of the candidacy of Congressman Fred Blackman, returned to Birmingham last night. He will repair to his district, will address the democratic convention of members of the Wilson Marshall clubs in Birming- ham Friday night and will then go east in the interest of the presiden- tial ticket of the party.
 "It Is now an old story" said he. that concerning the certainty of the election of pr. Wilson. But it will do no particular harm to repeat 1t. He will carry practically all of the doubt full states. Congressman Palmer of Pennsylvania, for instance, told me just before I left Washington that were the election that day Wilson would sweep the state. I will speak in New York, the other states of the east. Illinois. Minnesota and Wisconsin. This work will require practically all my time during the month of October. I will return to Alabama in time to deliver a few speeches in the interest of Congressman Burnett of the Seventh district.
 Control Congress
 Congressman Heflin is practically certain that the democrats during the incumbency of Woodrow Wilson would have control of both houses of Con- gress and that the democrats would meet the period of opportunity and re- sponsibility seriously and with confi- dence.
 We will proceed" said he, "to low CT the tariff and pass legislation in the interest of the common man.
 T will take up again the fight against gambling In cotton in the New York exchange. As is known we twice passed a bill making the actual de- livery of cotton bought and sold nec- essary. Twice, however, 1t met its death in the Senate.
 This bill strikes at the greatest evil to the southern farmer, for an investment of $100 on the New York exchange is capable of affecting the price of cotton which the farmer has labored for months to grow. It is esti- mated that 100.000,00 bales of cotton are bought and sold annually on the New York evchange. whereas not more than 30,000 bales are actually deliv- cred.

AFTER
 AUN|ON STATION Matter Will Come Before the Railroad Commission at
 Mondays Meeting

Montgomery, September 2S-(Special)- At the regular monthly meeting of the state railroad commission on next Monday the Chamber of Commerce of Huntsville will ask the commission for the estab- lishment of a union station at Huntsville.
 The commercial organization, represent ing the citizens of Huntsville. maintains that the present depot facilities at Hunts ville arc not adequate and arc petition ing the commission for the esta blshment of a commodious union station.
 Another case to come before the com mission is a petition from citizens of Scottsboro, Huntsville, Decatur Court land Tuscumba. Florence and other cities in that territory for better train service leaving Tuscumbia in the morn- ing for Stevenson, and returning the same day The petitioners in the case represent citizens from all the stations on that di- visions of the line
 In addition to these two cases. 1t is probable that few other cases will be taken up. though of a rather minor na- ture.

IGNORED BY LITTLE GIRL

Birmingham people who visited Mont gomery yesterday for the purpose of hearing the speech of ex-President Theo- dore Roosevelt returned last night with beautiful stories concerning the part played by little Mary Francis Hughes, the 7-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. w. Hughes, Jr., and granddaughter of Dr. J. w. Hughes and Capt Reuben F. Kolb.
 As Roosevelt was breakfasting with a number of prominent bull moose leaders at the Exchange hotel the little girl en- tered the dining room with her arms full of American beauty roses
 MT. Roosevelt arose to greet her, and so charming was the little lady, and so apparent her desire to gain favor in the eyes of man whom her grandfather had told her was great, that the leader of the progressive" party was swept off his feet. Three times the big moose left and returned to the little girl, and each time he expressed his delight with the conn pliment she had paid him.

him who thought Liberty, living, was worth more than Ticks, dead.
 Now what was the situation2 Will liam Elliott had an old bull on his place. in which he took great pride, that died from ticks while he was in Livingston making his speech fin favor of ticks. The bulls death however, was a blessing, be- cause he was a good riddance to that sec tion. Oliver's plantation, of some five thousand acres, was stocked with ticks and both Elliott and Oliver might have been seen now and then chasing cattle around with little cans of kerosene oil in their hands in an attempt to stay the tick plague. It is of record that Oliver one day held up q passenger train on the Alabama. Tennessee and Northern rail- road and demanded of the engineer an oil two young negroes. one Homer and the other Pleas. saying, Hey! Homer! come here nigger, help me grease this bull, the ticks are about to kill him. Then re- membering hls need of moro oil for other cattle he called: Hey, Pleas, run to the house and tell your Miss Sallie to send me bottle to get some of this grease to put on that calf in the yard. Run nig- ger--iny Lord. don't you know I can't keep this train here all day
 Personal Interest
 Now, the last question: What have l got to do with all this? Well, nothing other than that l have small piece of land in Sumter county on which I may wish to put few cattle and I am per- suaded that the best thing for cattle and for me Is for Sumter county to be rid of ticks before go into the cattle business. It will make my land more valuable and enable me to put better cattle on the market. should I ever be fortunate enough to own any.
 From this statement of my holdings in the cattle business I suppose my agtta- ton on the subject will appear to oe about as well grounded as the pleading of an old negro who appeared at court asking for a divorce. When the judge inquired the grounds the negro alleged extravaganza on the part of his wife and said further, "Jedge. dyar ain no use talkin' kaze no man ken live wid 1st oman. Her notions, jedge, is what pes- ters. Dyar ain no man ken git plunder togedder wid a 'owam like dat. en we cyarnt live in de same cabin" The judge asked for some particular showing her extravaganza. The negro hung his head and said: 1 ain't gin her nothin' yet :"
 However. I am for tick eradication for the good of my friends. one of whom has case in court for not dipping" that comes up in october and I hope the government will win against him. Ticks are menace and must go. Opposition is unwise. The old fight was spectacular and all right and had been in the coun- ty reckon I'd have joined In, but from this angle 1t looks a little like what little willie" Shakespeare said was much ado about nothing
 The battle cry Is the extermination of ticks.
