BOOSTS WISCONSIN LANDS
New Booklet Issued by Board of I'm.
migration, Tells Advantages
in State.

Madison.-A pamphlet telling Of the
agricultural advantages of northern
Wisconsin has just been issued by the
state board of immigration, under the
title, Making Good on New Soil" The
booklet was prepared by b. G. Packer,
commissioner of immigration
Wisconsin is a state of small
FARMS" says the pamphlet. And it
is of added Importance that present
Improvement is being accomplished
by large number of men who are de-
yeloping comparatively siaail hold
ings. Even casual visit through the
region will convince the reader OF the
significance of such growth. Here, as
in the best European countries. the
small farm is a positive revenue
maker. Years ago we learned the ad-
vantage of diversified agriculture.
This has resulted in the addition of
millions of dollars to farm profits.
From the time former Gov. Hoard be.
gan advocating dairying, many years
ago. we have been following a system
of mixed farming, with livestock pro-
duction predominating. Hence. al
though the average Wisconsin farm
contains only 119 acres and the
amount of improved land per farm is
considerably less, the net returns are
greater than in sections for years de.
voted to grain farming. And this
greater return has been had without
sacrificing fertility. The amount of
land to buy largely hinges upon the
settlers capital. To own profitable
farm rather than large one is the
ambition of these men, many OF whom
are making the production Of livestock
a strong feature of their farming op-
erations. Further development of
northern Wisconsin is not SO much
matter of clearing the land from
stumps. Splendid forage crops are
being secured from land brushed off
and not stumped =

If the Hensley resolution does not
pass and if the plan of Winston
Churchill shall fail, the expenditures
by the United States next year for
national defense purposes will be far
larger than those which were voted to
meet the requirements of the last
gear. There seems to be Justification
in the figures for the blunt words of
Speaker Champ Clark when in sup
port of his fellow Missourian's naval
holiday resolution he said:
1T is the strangest thing that NOR
tai man ever heard that when we had
three million people and five million
people and ten million people and fif-
teen million people and so on clear
up, we were not afraid Of anybody on
the face of the earth ard that nobody
Jumped on US. 1t Is q historical fact
that we forced every war we had; but

and $4,000, 100000 OF wealth, a lot

1t is said in Washington that the
agreement which has existed for years
between the United States and Great
Britain for a paval holiday On the
Great Lakes forms o precedent for
the Churchill proposal and the Hensles
resolution. The Great Lakes agree
ment was entered into on the initiative
