nomination can properly be made
only after due and reasonable Iotice
to all the members Of the committee.
Such notice cannot be given in less

manifestly impossible to hold such a
meeting prior to the election. Mean
time no difficulty or Inconvenience
arises to the voters at the election
next Tuesday, because the votes to
be cast then are for electors and
not for candidates for either presi-

of Mr.. Sherman therefore, does not
affect the validity Of the election Of

THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

A. D. Campbell, the statistican of the
Wisconsin Advancement Association,
makes the assertion that ttwo hundred
dollar land will be common in Wiscon-
sin" when the outside world appreci-
ates the productiveness of Wisconsin
soils. The probability is that MIR.
Campbell's prediction will come true.
At the present time there are oppor-
tunities for the homeseeker in North
ern Wisconsin which are not generally
understood, and that is the reason why
the the Wisconsin Advancement Associ-
alton exists Mr.. Campbell says: "The
appearance of the 1910 census forever
set at rest all question of the product
iveness of the upper Wisconsin soils
and their suitability for general and
special farming" He adds:
The explosion of the "dry farming"
promotion scheme, and the admission
of Director Newell of the irrigation
bureau that the movement to the west
for irrigated lands had been completely
stopped and was impossible for start
ing again from the fact that the lands
were held at too high prices-the es-
tablishment OF these facts left the
country of upper Wisconsin (Which laps
over into Michigan on the one side and
Minnesota on the other) as the only
available region where the homeseeker
could find cheap lands.
The fact that unimproved lands in
Walworth county recently have been
disposed of at $145 per acre, while UNI
improved lands in the upper counties
of Wisconsin are to be had at SIS to $50
per acre, is adverted to by Mr.. Camp
bell as indicating that the chances for
the homeseeker in the upper counties
are worthy of attention Indeed they
are. For people who want to build up
farms on unimproved land there are
offerings in Northern Wisconsin which
should attract settlers from all parts of
the United States. The Land of Oppor-
tunity par excellence at the present
time is Northern Wisconsin Evening
Wisconsin.

A FINE STATE

Never ia the agricultural, industrial
and commercial history of Wisconsin
have conditions been so good and SO full
of promise as in 1912. Farm, factory
and financial house alike bear witness,
said Commissioner Of immigration B.
G. Packer, in the Milwaukee Sentinel
recently.
Aside from soil naturally prolific
this can be largely attributed to the
effective organizations promoting agri-
culture, industrial life and commercial
enterprises. These movements are
back of every homeseeker and he is
especially interested in those relating
to agric lture They are his.
Here are seventy-six county and dist
riot agricultural societies and sixty-two
county or district cooperative live
stock breeders associations. The Wis
consin Experiment association has near
ly 1000 members growing pedigreed
seed grains.
No state has as large an area of de-
sirable undevelcped lands open for set
Element or possesses as energetic a
host of local and statewide agricultural
partnerships as are to be found in Badg
erdom. These associations are pointed
and definite in purpose and today are
more numerous, more effective and
more generously supported from priv
ate purse and public fund. Several
hundred thousands of dollars are an
nuBlly contributed by the state in sup
port of it's agricultural activities and
all of this splendid work is furthered
by much private contribution of time,
labor and money The result of all
this effort is at the disposal of home
seekers. Back of all these organizations
is a productive soil, and our present
agricultural supremacy can be meas
ured by the effective labors of these
movements which have secured, and
still are seeking more and better pro-
ducts from field, yard and orchard. -

THE WHOLE STORY
FAvORS WISCONSIN

The advertising department OF the
New England Homestead has recently
issued booklet comparing the crops
Of that section with those of certain OF
the Mississippi valley states lie IS
deliberately illustrated and makes
good showing for the older part OF the
country However, there are features
of the argument that calls for a more
careful investigation Of the facts lt
falls into the fallacies of the careless
investigator and the tricks of the pro-
moter. By this it is not intended to
discredit the good intentions of the
pamphlet. However, it is true that
generally the careless investigator ana
the professional promoter use the same
methods of calculation, which In this
instance lies in charging all expense
to the whole acreage and then basing
income upon an acre of each crop With
out regard to the relative acreage de-
voted to each.
To illustrate more exactly: In one
of the tables we find ''feed and fertll-
Izer" cost an average of ST. 5 per acre,
which is probably correct when aver
aged on the total acreage in farms,
but the fact is that the fertilizer was
nearly all applied to the cultivated
crops and on that basis averaged $12.72
per acre. This for purchased fertilizer
alone.
The cost of feed, when applied to
the acreage of cultivated crops amount
ed to $44 81 per acre. This feed was
fed to stock, probably at profit, and
the manure was placed upon the land.
The materially of this point is that
farmers in Wisconsin who make the
same practice are securing larger
Yields than even the New England
farmer after allowing him an average
of SIP 72 for commercial fertilizer.
And the forceful feature of the stu
alton is that the acreage devoted to
hay and forage in New England Ia
mounting to 1877 per cent of the total
acrease) returns rs per cent less than
the average yields of Wisconsin. The
effect of this difference in yield is
specially material when it is noted that
hay and forage constitutes 1917 per
cent of the total acreage in New Eng
land and only 400 per cent in Wisconsin.
The census figures indicate that of
the crops of corn, cats, wheat, barley,
rye and potatoes, New England pro-
duces about &C. bushels more per acre,
but the $12.L2 worth of pu4 chased fert-
ilizer would consume the profits of at
least 25 bushels.
This indicates how important it is,
when considering the crop yields of
different sections, that all the elements
of the situation be taken into consid-
Grafton.
