ResOlu ton by Supervisor Clark.
Whereas, only forty-five per cent
of the agricultural lands Of the state
are now in use, and fifty five per cent
is yet to developed; there ia still a
great need for agricultural developing
and inasmuch as the remaining fifty
five per cent is in the northern part
of the state, the branch Experimental
Station have a big part to play in the
agricultural future of this part of the
state
And Whereas, many of the new
farmers who Will settle and develop
this area will be from the cities, and
from places with different agricul-
turai conditions, making 1t necessary
for Them to have to consult these
branch stations on what crops to raise
on certain soils and what varieties
Will produce the best yields. Up to
date the branch stations have been a
source of great help TO the northern
WiscOnsion farmers. They have deyel-
oped strains OF grain such as the cele-
brated 40S and red fife wheat, the 1880
oats. los green peas, and many others
which are out yielding the grains rails
ed in these areas, before the stations
put out this seed. The stations have
only jast begun to show the great
possibilities of region. They have
proven without doubt that they are
of valuable assistance to the farmers
of this state
And Whereas, this work Is being
carried on with limited amount of
money to do the work property and
secure the results necessary for this
region;
Therefore be it resolved. that
