The natural, as well as artificial, con-
ditions Of the upper peninsula are no
different than they are in other Sec
tions of our country similarly locaeed.
The climatic conditions are the same
as those of the Northern portion of
New York, the northern one-half Of
Wisconsin, central Minnesota, the
northern line of South Dakota and of
Oregon and 600 miles south of the Can
adian wheat belt. Look at the market
progress that these sections of the ad-
joining states are making. Note the
yield and the abundant crops that they
are harvesting, the fine live stock that
they are raising and observe the rapid
rise in the values of their farms. What
is true of these older and more settled
sections of adjoining states will also be
true in the near future of the upper
peninsula.
Heretofore the pioneer settlers direct
ed their attention to the chopping OF
wood, posts and ties. to the saving of
logs and the peeling of bark, rather
than to the clearing of land and the
cultivation of the soil. The transition
al period is here and the timber supply,
etc., are rapidly giving way to the
more ambitious farmer Of the soil the
agriculturist.

ConcerAing the upper peninsula, its
advantages and possibilities in an ag-
ricultural way:
Less than seventy-five years ago the
upper Peninsula became part of the
State of Michigan. At that time it
was considered apparently worthless
territory. 1t was thought that its geo
logical position would make it unfavor-
able to agriculture because of short
seasons and cold climate. The man
who would have predicted the develop
ment that has followed since the open
ing of such exhaustless wealth of
mines, farms, factories and commerce
the existence of many fiourishing vii
lagos, towns and. cities-would have
been called dreamer.

DIR. Sharpe, the company physician,
that Mr.. McEwen will have the use of
his leg shortly and that it will be as
good as the other. The fracture was a
severe one and its successful healing is
a credit to the physicians.

GREAT NATURAL RESOURCES.

The natural resources of the upper
peninsula are so abundant, particularly
in her supply of copper, iron ore and
lumber, that the business of farming
has been neglected and the farmer in
the upper peninsula has not received
thr justice due him in the industrial
classification. Nevertheless. the nat
ural advantages that present them
selves to the farmer everywhere are
many, and his influx to the lands of the
peninsula is steadily growing larger
and larger year by year.
There is also an idea held by some
persons that the upper peninsula is To-
Gated near a region of snow and ice
and perpetual cold, where the natural
forces in the soil are dormant during
the greater portion of the year. and
where the soil is cold, unfertile and un-
fit for cultivation. There is also the
erroneous impression that the seasons
are too short for the proper maturing
of crops and that the climate is objec-
sionable, that markets and traffic and
all forms of transportation ere as yet
undeveloped and that civilization is just
beginning to take root.
POPULAR IDEAS ABSURD.
These ideas concerning the upper
peninsula are, of course. ridiculous.
