ALL EYES ON MICHIGAN.

[ATTRACTIONS OF THE FRUIT BELT, | ATTENTION has been widely attracted to Michigan’s Fruit Belt ny the superion flavor of its fruits, by its wide range of staple crops 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 other regions of the same latitude not similarly protected by the influence of the Lake Michigan which modifies the prevailing winds from the west.

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 SwiShrt Tract. Farmers, fruit growers, ponJtrymen, 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 aceomdafion. THIS TRACT is especially favored in its location in the middle of this Fruit Belt, in its transportation by four railrojads and a number of steamship lines, and in its
