THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE PICTURE

Wisconsin has been flooded with
literature containing glowing ac-
counts of the farming possibilities in
the far west The rosy tale gives
details of enormous yields of alfalfa,
potatoes and fruit, specializing in the
latter romance All for the purpose
of selling raw land at prices two to
ten times higher than improved
farms can be bought for in W.scon-
sin These circulars pointed to tempt
the eastern farmer, clerk, school
teacher and others who have saved a
little money, have induced hundreds
from Wisconsin to invest in west
ern irrigated lands and very few
have realized much profit therefrom.
The crops grow all right, not aver
aging nearly as great in yield as
promised but can be depended on for
a fair yield the fly in the ointment
is not the crop yield nor the quality
of the crop, but the great drawback
is the lack of market. The western
boomer never mentions the sparse
population that can absorb only a
trifling portion of the crops, nor does
he tell the land buyer about the
freight rates to the real markets.
Any statement of that sort would
blow up the sale.
While it is true that enormous
crops of potatoes of the very finest
quality may be secured from some
irrigated districts, that apples in
heavy yield and of splendid color
and condition are harvested, yet the
grower does not make in net pro-
ceeds as much as the Wisconsin dai-
ryman on land that sells for only
fraction of what is asked for the
western lands. The reason is frei ght.
The fact that investments in irri-
gated lands have been over ated in
evidenced by true statement which
recently was related to the writer by
one who spent several months in
the Bitter Root Valley of Montana,
and who says only one side of the
picture of alleged prosperity in the
irrigated country is presented to the
investor.

Success to the Celebration"

Following a reproduction of the re-

Upon his return from the SOUTH J.
l.. Klock gave a statement to the
Antigo Journal of which the follow
ing is a portion:
There is absolutely no farming in
Florida as We known it except in the
regions around Tallahassee and Paldt-
ka where there are small strips of
clay loam The rest of the country is
sandy and there is little attempt to
grow anything on it. Real estate deal
ers, however, sell this worthless land
to northerners who after they see
their purchase never come down to
settle on their Florida estate, but
thern home.
Real estate men say that Florida
can raise potatoes but the potatoes
saw were poor excuses for the gen
uine article" continued Mr.. Klock.
"They were the size of Walnuts. The
cost Of fertilizer necessary to grow
crops in Florida is SO great that it
makes farming most Improbable. 1t
is necessary to fertilize th soil six
! to eight times per year with fertilizer
costing $50 per ton. Pests and worms
also have to be fought against and
this adds to the cost of the crops
Ninety per cent of the people in Flor
ida who depend on their living from
the soil have their property for sale

Wisconsin ADVANTAGES

Of what avail are a farmers crops
if he can't sell them, or if he is
obliged to sell them at an unremun-
erative price? Out in Oregon an or
ganization booming it's locality is ad-
vertising that growers of alfalfa can
sell it at five dollars a ton. The Gil
lett Times calls attention to this fig
ure, and intimateS that the circum-
stance that alfalfa can be sold for
twenty dollars a ton and upward il
Wisconsin is worthy the attention Of
people who are looking for a good
place to buy land and settle down
There have been complaints from
Florida by people who have gon
into the business of raising farm
stuff only to find that to get it to
market cost as much as it was worth.
The proximity of Wisconsin farm
ers to good markets is an advantage
due to the diversification of Wiscon-
sins resources and industries, and
operates as a blessing in both direc-
tions. 1t is good for the farmers be-
cause it assures them reward for
their labor. 1t is good for the con-
sumers, because it gives them the
certainty of good food at fair prices.

That Republican Banquet

Political students here are main
tanning that the Republican banquet S
greatest effect was the strengthen
ing of Republican lines in the state
and bringing back into the fold some
of those who had shown tendencies
to stray after the Twill O. the wisp'
as the Third party was referred to
by some of the speakers.
With men, who for years have been
in the vanguard of the progressive
forces, a unit in declaring that there
is no need for third party in state
or nation, the effect upon those who
had listened to the call of the Bull
Moose, was to make it clear that
progressivism is Republicanism and
that success for the progressive idea
lies within the G. 0. P.
Lieut.. Gov. Thomas Morris was one
of the speakers who placed especial
stress on the lack of necessity for a
new party. There is no more need
for a new party than there is for a
new republic, he declared. Every ar
gument that can be made in favor
of new party can be made in favor
of a new republic There is no need
for either A new party would split
the progressive forces; it would side
track the progressive movement; it
would postpone for a decade, per-
haps longer, the splendid victory al
most within the grasp of the people. .
The place Senator La Toilette is
assuming in the national field was re-
ferred to by Mr. Morris when he de-
clared that that man is blind who
does not see that under the leader
ship of La Toilette the Republican
party in the nation is fast again be-
coming the constructive party, as it
was in the days of Lincoln and it
has been for a decade or more in
Wisconsin"
the Republican state central commit
tee explained how the get-together
banquet was conceived.
''You committee, he said, We're at
a loss to know just exactly, to use
the vernacular of the street, where
they were at One good Republican
says to the other, what are you any
way, whom did you vote for?' The
other fellow gets back at him and
says, I'm just as good a Republican
as you are, whom did you vote for?'
These were the conditions and, since
the legislature convened a good many
Of our friends have said to us, why
don't you get us together, hold get
together banquet or do something?
The suggestion became so insistent
that we followed it.
One of the notable features was
the attendance of many who were
last year third party men. They ex-
pressed renewed allegiance to the
Republican organization and believed
that success lay through the party
of Lincoln.
| Since the banquet many in various
parts of the state have signified their
| belief that progressivism must be
worked out through the G. 0. p
| Also members of the stalwart fac
ton, while expressing disagreement
with many of the progressive tenets
of Wisconsin Republicanism also eX
pressed their preference for it's con
structive program to the political ex
igency program of both the Bull
| loose and the Democrats.
All factions of the Republican par
lty were represented at the banquet

l!|E|vI QUESTIONS
|. J. CITY ENGINEER
ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD TO
LOOK INTO CONDITION OF
sHoCKoE CREEK.

In reply to a report from the city
engineer that Shockoe creek at the
foot of Seventh street. adjacent to
the Locomotive Works plant, could
not be improved In condition until
council appropriated sufficient funds
for that purpose. DIR. f. c. Levy. chief
health officer. yesterday wrote to the
administrative board that he believed
the situation could be relieved. not
withstandfng what the city engineer
might believe.
Last week the chief health officer
wrote a letter to the administrative
board. in which he stated that the
officials OF the Locomotive works had
|complained to him of the havoc which
the Ehockoe creek played to the plant.
! II overlooked, and when it did not
overflow, 1t gave forth many various
kinds of stenches.
The letter was referred to the board.
The board referred 1t to the city en-
|Eineer. who is an officer of the board.
| the board, in which he stated that
nothing could be done until the creek
had been walled or covered as recon-
mended by the board. and until the
money had been appropriated by coun-
| ell for the purpose.
The board directed the clerk to send
la copy of this report to the chief
health officer. This letter was sent
about . week ago.
As 4 result of this letter from DR..
| Levy the board. itself. will take trip
over the ground today. and will then
formulate its own report, which will
| be sent to council. and copy will
| be sent to DR.. Levy.
