failure due to drouth. The rainfall
is ample, especially during growing season,
when the rain is needed for the best deyel-
opment of crops.
Villas County will produce practically any
crop that can be successfully grown in the
Middle West, and the climate pure
water, location and luxuriant pastures
make Villas County the best place for
dairying and stock raising.
