Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture for the Year Ending January 31, 1914 The Crop Statistics gathered and compiled in this office during the past season would indicate that never in the history of the State have crops been more abundant nor prices, as a rule, better. Government re ports confirm this statement. Their figures show that Wisconsin in not only the Greatest Dairy State, but that the yield per acre ot nearly all farm crops equal or exceed the yield reported from other states. Greater interest among those interested in securing land for agricul tural purposes is shown in the increased demand for the Crop Report! Published monthly by this Board. The demand for copies or the last Report issued in 1913 exceed the demand of one year ago by over seven thousand copies. With ten million acres of rich agricultural lands await ing development in the Northern Section of Wisconsin, this Board can lend valuable aid in attracting those interested in securing agricultural lands, through furnishing reliable crop statistics, and I would recom mend that this work be extended and improved. In corresponding with the Boards of Agriculture in various states that are doing work along this line, we find that the average expense for collecting and compiling the statistics for their monthly Crop Reports averages approximately eight hundred dollars annually. I merely call your attention to this fact in order that you may compare their expense with the expense of collecting and compiling the statistics in this office.
