ENORMOUS WEALTH IN
NORTHERN WISCONSIN

Prof c. L. Norgord. head of the
state department of agriculture, speak
ing at 4 farmers course III Grant coun
ty recently called attention to the enor-
NOUS reources of northern Wisconsin.
There are he declared, between
eight and ten million acres of good
land still available for settlement.
Wisconsin lies at the doorway of the
best markets of the world Chicago,
the fourth largest city in the world ::
Milwaukee,. one of the great manufac-
turing cities of the United States =
both at the southeast corner. Super
iOr and Duluth located at the farthest
west extension of Lake Superior. with
St Paul and Minneapolis. the greatest
Touring center in the world on the
west. and many cities of from 20 TO
10000 in population within territory
and surrounding it on all sides. This
territory is an extension of the great
west plains and praires which extend
from the Rocky mountains on the west
to the Great Lakes on the east. This
will be WiScOnSinS prairie when the
stumps and trees are taken off. Be
tween this prairie of ours and the Da
kota prairies is the presence of stumpS
and trees We have had sufficient
moisture applied to our fertile soil to
produce the great pine hard wood. and
hemlock forests for which Wisconsin
has been formerly noted The proof
that in the past we have had enough
moisture. and guarantee that in the flu
ture we will have enough moisture
which applies to our fertile soil. will
produce not only great forests, but
beautiful fields of waving grain. fine
pastures with beautiful herds. great
red barns. and happy homes
We complain Of the cost Of clearing
which may run from 5000 to $4,000
an acre but the cost of clearing an acre
of land is not as great as the difference
| in the freight on a carload of grain
shipped from Bozeman. Montana, to
st. Paul or Chicago as compared with
| the same carload from SpoOner, Wis
! cOnSin. or any point in central WiScOn-
| sin to the same market. The percent
age of good land is not much different
| in the northern end Of the state than in
| the southern end; neither is there
much difference in this respect between
| upper Wisconsin and Minnesota and
| North and South Dakota. People have
gone by this beautiful area attracted
| by the great plains Of the west. They
| have found out that lack of moisture
| is far greater handicap than the
presence of stumps and trees.

ANOTHER FARMER
WHO is PROSPERING

g. w. Churchill landed in this c0un-
ty y years ago and bought one Of the
4O's where he lives. for 800. Three
years later he bought the other 40,
which cost him $500. There were no
roads in the country and his land was
covered with windfall pine. The first
years were put in getting out dimen-
sion lumber He sold over 1000
worth of timbers in one season.
The dimension and rough lumber for
the Fritz store were sold by Mr..
Churchill about IS years ago. He also
furnished lumber for several houses
in the town the same year. Mr..
Churchill has lived continuously on this
farm ever since he chose the site for
a home.
He has 81 acres cleared, a few acres
i'm hay and the balance is III pasture.
He has a house 16X24 and 14X24. two
stories high with full basement under
the main part The barn is 22X32 and
the hay shed is the same size. Four
teen head of dairy cattle are kept on
the place now. \ pure bred Durham
bull of the milking strain is at the head
of the herd. Mr.. Churchill is very par
tiaI to Durham cattle and has had good
success with them. both at the pal
and on the block. About 30 tons OF hay
were raised this year, some OF which
was hulled for seed. Five acres OF
peas brought $237 besides the seed.
Mr.. Churchill will plant four acres
of peas this year. half of them to be OF
the early variety and half of then
late The early peas did the best last
year on this farm. The late ones ma!
do the best this year depending on the
season.
Four acres of "spuds. averaging
200 bushels to the acre. were part OF
the crop. The two acres. of wheat ne
raised didn't do as we'll as what he
raised in 1918.

department is appreciated by the
farmers and that our efforts to put out
a paper that is Of especial interest to
them have not been in vain. We like
10 get letters from farmers who APP
prpciate the value of Rusk county land
and who are going to clear up as much
land as possible and make it produce
bumper crops. Many farmers could
write us letters stating their expert
cnceS here that would make interesting
reading matter to other farmers The
George VanderloOp letter printed some
time ago was interesting enough so
that we saw parts of it printed III other
papers and in this way Rusk county
got some free advertising. We will
gladly give space for any letter that
