about three miles. These lead to all

grounds and in event it rains it is not
necessary for any of the visitors to

WHAT ALFALFA MEANS
TO WISCONSIN.
We Should Have $2,50O,OOO Acres
Devoted to This Wonderful


Wisconsin has over 5000, 600 acres
/ devoted to the various forage crops.
This is largely timothy and clover
| mixed and timothy alone. Practically
all this acreage should be devoted to
| alfalfa, in other words the acreage
| devoted to alfalfa should be at least
100000 acres.
According to the experience of
more than 500 farmers, whose results
were determined by recent census,
this would add 500, 600 to the
agricultural output of the state add
that amount in the value of the raw
material. But when handled as for
age is handled by Wisconsin farmers,
that is, turned into milk or meat, it
| means that the 2,5o0,000 acres of
alfalfa would increase the states
| agricultural output nearer $500, 000,-
! 600 per year.
Ten years ago, when. the writer
| first began to advocate alfalfa as a
| future Wisconsin crop, every manner
| of objection was raised. Men who
| should have known better, said, first
| that we could not raise it, and, sec
ond, that we should not The latter
| objection was based upon hazy idea
| that it would interfere with rotation
of crops. These objections gradual
| ly faded until the 1910 u. S. census
dissipated them.
Now, the fact is that all the bene-
| fits of clover in rotation can be Sc
cured by using it as a catch crop
and blowing the growth under. This
can be done at cost of about one
| dollar per acre, while the alfalfa
grower is gaining twenty to forty
times that amount. Besides, when
| once we'll established, it is not neces-
sary to leave the land long in alfalfa.
1t can practically take its place in the
rotation

THE CAREY LAND PROJECT

The cupidity Of few men has
been responsible for the backward
development Of many otherwise
Hourishing communities in the
west, in the past few years. just
why two men should be allowed
to segregate and hold in allegiance
the development Of enough land to
accommodate over 13O families to
farms of 100 acres each is a ques-
tion that we have failed to find a
satisfactory answer to. And this
also without the least guarantee
of good faith that they will i'm
prove the land within a specified
time CT that they will give some
one else an opportunity to improve
it. The Carey Land Act is very un-
just at best. in that it allows a
coterie Of men to segregate a
large body of land that would
otherwise be subject to homestead
entry and soon become a produc-
tive element of the community.
Harlowton has become weary Of
the promises of the men who have
held large tract Of land from
settlement near this place and no
honorable means Of compelling it's
REIMBURSEMENT will be left untried.
1T is alleged that the men hold
ing this land have not the means
to improve the land and are hold
ing it with the hope Of raising mo-
ney by the issuance Of bonds or
getting it in some other way from
the public and all for the purpose
of making money for themselves.
Why not let one hundred thirty
homesteaders have this land and
profit not only a greater number
of individuals but add much more
to the revenue of this and other
towns adjacent. The greatest good
to the greatest number should be
the idea that the Interior Depart
ment should consider and not the
fact that two or three men should
get rich at added expense to many
