Michigan Crystal Falls
Many persons who. ought to know what is required in a good farming dis; trict, have pronounced this portion of the country as practically useless for agricultural purposes. Such an opinion, however, has proved to be sadly at fault, as the advance of agriculture in the Upper Peninsula, even as far north, as Lake Superior, shows a remarkably fine product of rye, oats, barley, hay, and root-crops, and in many instances—we might say every instance in which the proper attention is paid to the pursuit of agriculture, the best of wheat has been harvested. The fact that this wooded country is no further north than portions of the great wheat belts of Minnesota and Dakota, and that the soil is of excellent quality, should be sufficient to convince the most skeptical that, after the land in this locality has been deprived of its immense growth of hardwood and other timber, the early and late frosts, which at present are the most serious drawbacks, will be a thing of the past.
