PROMPT ACTION NECESSARY.

Well-informed fruit growers who
have recently learned of the discovery
OF this rare tract OF land have eX-
pressed surprise that IL has not been
discovered and advertised TO the world
long before this time. The reason is
simple This land was owned by three
large lumber companies which were
occupied I'm former years in numbering
their large tracts of pine in other To-
cGlities and so they left this magnifi-
cent tract OF hardwood untouched until
II was surrounded by improved farms,
knowing all the time that the timber
was rapidly increasing in value, while
they were engaged In harvesting the
crop Of pine in other counties. At last,
only "a few years ago, the splendid crop
OF sugar naples. beaches and bass
woods was removed from this tract,
On account OF the rare value
OF this tract as TO quality or
soil, proximity to Lake Michigan, ele-
vation. air drainage and transportation
facilities. IL Is probable that the
entire tract will be sold during the
current year. Therefore, prompt ac-
tion Is necessary on the part OF all who
would secure sorne OF this valuable
land
similar promptness Is necessary on
the part OF all who would secure some
OF the small allotment OF stock in the

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Millions OF people are seriously re-
heoting upon the Unprecedented cost of
the necessaries Of life Some attribute
this condition to the great profits OF
the middle men, others to Trusts; but
th" truth is that il is due. primarily.
10 the fact that large percentage OF
our population have become n-pro-
ducers. According TO the United States
census OF 1900, only 35G1 of the popu-
la tion lived In cities ana villages, while
the census or 1910 shows that 47co
lived In towns II Is probable that {
the present time fully one-haIf OF the
population are not engaged in pro-
ducing anything from the soil These
lconditions are bringing about reac-
ton. The shallowness Of city life the
stale and expensive food. the great
nervous strain and the small returns
which the average individual must
contend with in cities. at the present
time, are creating widespread desire
for return TO the country. especially
"a men engaged i'm all forms OF agri-
culture have roaped rich rewa rds from

GENERAL CROPS.

land OF this Company is valuable only
for fruit growing purposes. While
fruit growing in this section is the
most delightful, profitable and certain
Agricultural proposition known 10 men.
and while this land is particularly well
adapted to the growth OF the finest
fruit the soil is equally well adapted
TO the production of many other profit
able crops. Hundreds OF carloads Of
the finest potatoes are grown In this
section, while beans. corn, sugar beets
chicory, rye, wheat alfalfa and other
clovers, also all kinds of garden vege-
tables OF the finest quality, abound
Sailing stations for cucumbers and
canning factories for fruits and vege-
tables are near at hand. The long au-
tumns without frost are especially con-
ducive to the growth OF late potatoes,
cucCmbers, beans. corn, melons and
other tender crops. Settlers make from
$50 10 s125 per acre from cucumbers or
potatoes during the first year. The
second year they get handsome returns
from strawberries or raspberries, the
third and subsequent years they can
reap a rich harvest from currants or
gooseberries The fifth and subsequent
years they can get large net returns
from peaches and certain varieties OF
