a committee that writes such
stun know anything about the
situation? Is its report worthy
OF consideration?
Does this committee exnect
land IN township 40-11 that is
reported in the soil survey as al
per cent agricultural to be sold
as low as land was bought bv
the state in All that is 20 per
cent agricultural? Would the
committee have made such a
statement as is quoted at the be-
ginning of this article if it were
familiar with the lands in ques-
ton?
The soil survey of this region
Will do a world of good for Villas
and adjoining counties. 1t shows
that the state has a lot of poor
land and that there are other
acreages OF poor land that it can
secure in the immediate neigh
borhood-and it shows also that
there is a large acreage of splen-
did land that will make as good
farms as there are in the state
The survey gives the yields of
crops secured by the settlers and
we shall use these figures in
other articles which we shall
have from time to time. They
are encouraging they are con
vlncing of the agricultural value
OF Villas and adjoining counties.

April First.

Eagle Rivers creamery, the
first one in Villas county, will be-
gin operations April first. Ed
win Nichols, who will operate
the creamery, arrived Saturday
from Seymour, to be followed
later by his family.
Being a practical man in the

farmers of this section, there is
no doubt but that Mr. Nichols
venture will prove successful.
With the number of new and
active farmers who are bringing

as to the success of the cream
