who wrote lurid articles on con-

A week later an article by the
same writer contained the follow
ing:
Turning from these reforms

been the case in the past, but
very recently an article appeared
in the Chicago Record-Herald in
which the following statements

sixty percent of the lands IN
Villas county are suited to agri
culture, although of course, |
would not say that all this land
was suited to the same class OF
farming. What | mean is that |
believe that at least that per-
centage of the lands will produce
attractive returns when applied
to the type Of farming to which
they are best suited. | have no
doubt that the above figures
could be materially increased. In
a map gotten out by Profs. A. X.
Whitson and S. Weidman several
years ago, we find that 25 to IS
percent OF the lands of Villas
county and 80 to 40 percent Of
the lands of Oneida county will
probably finally be improved. |
believe if these authorities were
to pass upon the question at this
time, they would place the figures
practically where | have placed
them in the above paragraph.
Now as to the policy Of having
our state forestry allin one great
area in few counties in your
locality, it seems to me that that
is an entirely erroneous idea. We
know that there are considerable
areas in various parts of the
state that are as we'll suited to
growing timber as your region
and less suited to the produc-
ton of food stuffs. From this
standpoint, it ought to be sug-
gestive to the forestry depart
ment that it would be well to
have more than one forest area.
Then too, from the standpoint of
fire hazard. it would in my judg
ment be much better to have our
forest areas distributed than to
have them all in one tract.
1t is mighty pleasing to be as
sured by the forestry force that
their trails, telephone lines and
lookouts give assurance from i'm

to analyze his statements. For
instance, a few years ago he as
sured me that the slash resulting
from numbering in Wisconsin

at a cost of 25c for the slash re-
