ALL EYES ON MICHIGAN. | ATTRACTIONS OF THE FRUIT BELT, [ a . ATTENTION has been widmy attracted to Michigan's Fruit Belt <by .tne; superior flavor of ks fruits, by its wide range of staple crops, by .■■its advantage in marketing bein'. doer ted at the ’hub of the Nation’s popu ation and commerce and by greater profits to growers because of no irrigation expense, .biro rail all is plentiful. The U. S. Dept, of Agriculture defines the Fruit Belt as the narrow strip of country in the Southern peninsula I ordering lake Michigan and extending 10 to 30 miles eastward, and as having a climate that enables cultivation'with a success impossible in otthi * regions of the same latitude not similarly protected, by the influence of the Lake Michigan which modifies the prevailing, winds frpm the west.

Farmers, fruit growlers. poultrymen, tiruck growers and stock men are buying and settling tin this tract in sudh large numbers I t wice each mont h a special Pullman car, and frequently two cars are required for their accomdation. • THIS TRACT is especially favored In its location in the middle of this Fruit Belt", in its transportation by four railroads and a number of steamsftiip limes, and in its
