ALL EYES ON MICHIGAN.

ATTRACTIONS OF THE FRUIT BELT.

ATTENTION has been widely attracted to Michigan’s Fruit Belr by the superion flavor of its fruits, by -its wide range of staple eroDS by its advantage in marketing being located at the hub of the Nation’s population and commerce and by greater profits to growers because of no irrigation expense. The rainfall is plentiful. The TJ S. Dept, of Agriculture defines the Fruit Belt as the narrow strip of country in the Southern peninsula bordering Lake Michigan and extending 10 to 30 miles eastward, and as having a climate that enables cultivation with a success impossible in ot/heT regions of > the same latitude not similarly protected by the influence of the Lake Michigan which modifies the prevailing winds from the west.

THE CONDITIONS that here produce better apples, peaches,; pears, pllums and ’cherries are also especially favorable for potatoes and all vegetables, peas, beans, cereals, grasses, clover and alfalfa. The iood problem is here solved by the diversity of crops. The corn crop, as shown by statistics, compares favorably with yields of states in the corn belt and makes stock raising profitable; but beyond the need for stock there are a number of other crops more profitable. Poultry thrives in the freedom from vermin; no place is better for sheep, and dairying is becoming more profitable every year GREAT AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT is going on in Michigan s 1 ruit Belt. The' awakening is as much in diversified farming as in fruit growing.' Retarded until late years by lumber interests, the over-population of the part of the U. S. surrounding this district is now forcing tillage of its every acre. NO OTHER SPOT in Michigan is being developed as rapidly as the district in Mason, Manistee and Lake Counties, known as the Swigart Tract. Farmers, fruit growers, poultrymen, truck growers and stock men are buying and settling in this tract in such large numbers that twice each month 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 steamsihip limes, and in its
