“Wisconsin Crops Are Good” Writes Former Resident.

Menominie, Wis. Editors Republican: I enclose money order for the renewal of The Republican. I also send a clipping about alfalfa in our country. I see you people are raising it with good success, but I think we have you beateri. Crops are very good, except corn, but the last week has been helping it out greatly. Everyone is busy now in their clover hay. We are all well and are pleased- with this country. We think it is a good place ' for a poor man. Land is first class and will-raise-any thing that can be grown in Indiana. Our apple crop is going to be short this year. Yours truly, D. E. LESH. The clipping sent by Mr. Lesh states that through the efforts and experiments of an agricultural school near there, it has been proven that alfalfa will flourish in that section of Wisconsin. An average growth in an alfalfa field measured four feet in height. The land will produce three crops in a season.
