FOR THE NORTH COUNTIES
Various Communities Awake 70 The
Benefits Coming From Better
Stock

During recent months there has
been a greater interest in the upper
Wisconsin counties than ever before
IN the matter of securing better
cows and more of them for the farm
ers. In the portion of the state un-
III recently most of the settlers have
been people of very few means. They
have been assisted in getting stock
by local business men, bankers and
land companies. But now the de-
n1and is getting beyond the ability
OF individuals to supply, which makes
1t essential that there should be a
more organized plan for the supply.
In practically every county organi-
cations have been perfected for get
ting cows. In recent weeks carload
lots have been shipped into MARI
nette, Langlade, Oneida, Rusk, Doug
las and perhaps other counties. Most
OF these cows are secured in the
southern Wisconsin counties. The
new north is thoroughly awake to the
situation, and outside buyers of Wis
consin's good COWS will find warm
competition in the future
