The smoke nuisance is beginning to
civic problems confronting the mod

G. Benner in the American City
Why this crime Of our cities is not
remedied. when so doing would result
in profit to all concerned, is a question
that can be answered by the two
words. ignorance and carelessuess.
There is, Of course the excuse that
in this case the damage done is OBJ
scure and difficult to prove in tangible
way. But as scientific studies of the
problem are made the injurious effects
of smoke are gradually becoming more
clearly defined and publicly recognized.
There is a crying need for the educa-
ton of th, public along smoke lines.
They need to know that soft coal can
be burned without smoke with profit
to the consumer. and they need ike
wise to know the damage smoke does
in dollars and cents to the residents Of
a smoky city.

Pays To Study Figures.

Two men came west together to set
tie on farms and grow up with the
country. One settled in Wisconsin, but
the other went further west and
bought some prairie wheat land at a
price much higher per acre than the
other had to pay in Wisconsin. This
year the prairie man had only a fairly
good crop, about Is bushels per acre,
but that was more than. the most of his
neighbors had as the season was not
one of the best for wheat He sold his
wheat in his LEGAL market for 70 cents
bushel, or at the rate of $1,000 per
acre.
The Wisconsin man raised some cab
bages, Is tons to the acre. and sold
them for SIS ton, or at the rate of
S240 per acre, He raised some potatoes
and harvested 1870 bushels to the acre
not an extra large crop. Some of his
neighbors got bigger yield, but at So
cents bushel, which is less than the
present price. each acre yielded $l04, =
so. Also he raised other food stuffs
which brought him similar generous
returns.
Meantime the wheat raiser had to
take a large portion of his crop to pay
for the costly machinery needed in rails
ing wheat. but the Wisconsin man had
not needed much machinery. Also the
wheat raiser cannot raise general farm
produce profitably because he is too far
away from the consuming markets and
railroad freight CT argos and commiss-
ions would wipe out the profit. But the
Wisconsin man can raise fine wheat end
get 10 cents bushel more for it on &C.
count of being so much nearer the ulti-
mate grain markets. Further the Wis
consin man is in an ideal dairy region
especially adapted 10 diversified farm
ing, while the prairie man must stick
to his wheat until he wears his land
out
In Wisconsin. especially northern
Wisconsin ver grows wild like a ma
tive weed. and alfalfa does exceed
ingly well, and both clover and alfalfa
sell for twice as much per ton as they
sell for in the far west. be:ause here
the proximity of big markets makes it
possible to utilize to much greater ad-
vantage the value in those commodit-
-.
Too many homeseekers do MT reckon
in figures. They fail. to correctly. solve
the problems which they have to deal
with. Hence they go further and fare
worse. But at present the natural re-
sources of this region and the favora-
/ BILE market conditions are attracting
\
more. attention than ever before. Next
-
year. an, unprecedented rush will be on
to improve these. Astounding opportuni-
ties.
