Anderson, The Shoeman
COMING TO WISCONSIN.

The Eau Claire Leader truthfully
says that it is interesting to- note that
the great papers are awakening to the
value of the undeveloped resources OF
Wisconsin. Until recently attention
was absorbed with irrigation, dry farm
ing, and other visionary projects. Now
that they have failed, the papers are
getting down to rock bottom (where
they should have been long ago. and
Wisconsinis getting attention. Chip
pewa Independent.
The most unpleasant feature of the
situation is that many Wisconsin peo-
pie went to the western irrigation and
dry farm regions who would have done
better to have stayed In Wisconsin.
In fact, they could now be well-to-do
instead of being stranded.
But the time when the irresponsible
percentage of the promoter can fool
any considerable per centage OF the
people is past, and it is very agree.
able to know that Wisconsin has had
lot to do in bringing about the
change. The homeseekers OF today
are insisting upon being shown from
reliable authority This is all in the
interest of Wisconsis, for when 1t
comes to the showing process we are
winners.

KANSAS CATTLE AND

If all the Kansas cattle that have
nothing to eat were to consume all the

if tbs people who went upon the Kan
sas plains had come to Wisconsin they
would have had feed for their cattle.
Regret as we may the bad judgement
which these people used in going to
the prairies, nothing is to be gained
unless we exert ourselves to let the
public know iaboct the splendid un-
used lands of upper Wisconsin.
In this connection may De noted the

THE MEAT IN THE COCOANUT.
The Advantages of Northern Wiscon-
sin Clearly Pointed Out.

Discussing the advantages of climate
in the northern portion OF the state,
the Wausau Record Herald closes:
Writing to this paper, Mr.. Packer
yerv aptly says, ga fellow doesn't re-
alize fully the possibilities of North
ern Wisconsin until he visits this high
priced land district (around Lincoln,
Neb..) so subject to affection by
drought and destructive insects.
An3, it may be added, the superiority
of Northern Wisconsin resides IN these
very qualities, freedom from drought
and freedom from pests. There is a
close connection between the two.
The growing season here is continuous.
Though commencing rather late, there
is no intermission, and plants have no
long waits between showers. They
simply grow so fast the ordinary insect
pests are baffled when they try to des-
troy them.
This wear, with its advertising cam
paign, its splendid crops, its oppor-
tunities tocall attention to the green
summer pastures of the northern coun-
ties, ought to be a banner year for
the state. Mr.. Packer is certainly en-
tering into the spirit of the work,
while the Wisconsin Advancement as
ISOLATION has displayed more than or
binary energy.
