Progressiveness
And as for the future of Clark County, what pen is bright enough, what ink clear enough, what hand firm enough to write the things which must come judging from the past of this and other communities. Withal the noble stretches of fully developed farm lands, with all the commodious farm houses, big red barns and round silos, herds of thoroughbred cattle, cheese factories or creameries on almost every other corner, with all wealth of $30,000,000 among the 4500 farms and the score of prosperous towns and village’s — with all these facts, Clark County is but about one-half developed. There are still wide areas of undeveloped land and many of the farms are still but partly improved. Land values which have doubled during the past seven years now range from $40 to $125 an acre for improved farms, and from $15 to $30 for undeveloped land.
Large Areas of Undeveloped Land Still Open for New Settlers.
What will Clark County be, what will land values be, when the 783,360 acres are fully developed? What will the products be— from the farms, from the herds, from the creameries and cheese factories ? What will the revenues be when the water powers are harnessed to buzzing dynamos?
Clark County in central Wisconsin is destined to be one of the wealthiest and most prosperous counties in the country— a garden spot of the world.
