By air around the state

Prepared bv National Geographic Society,
Washington. D. C.—WNU Service.
Tmere
HERE are some things
that everybody knows
about Wisconsin. The
mention of the name
brings thoughts of cheese and
politics, woods-holiday s and
lakes. But what do its long
shores look like? Why is it
famous for the arts of gov
ernment? What is the char
acter of its many cities?
First, for a comprehensive
view, why not a swift air jour
ney around its borders?
The natural starting point
for this breezy excursion will
be Kenosha. Halfway between
Chicago and Milwaukee, this
city is squarely in the state’s
most accessible corner. Besides, it
was the first community in Wiscon
sin to establish a free public school,
and so is an appropriate place in
which to begin our learning.
Taking off from Kenoshts, then,
we go skimming like an inquisitive
sea gull up the shore of Lake Michi
gan. It is a long, straightish, sandy
shore. The beautiful patchwork of
green fields ends at a dark wood
land fringe—then a streak of pale
gold—then green water. Now and
again a river winds out from the
hinterland and empties into the
lake. In many cases the river
mouth has been made into a harbor,
and at each harbor is a city.
These cities follow one another
along the lake shore like a row of
buttons up the front of a green over
coat: Kenosha. Racine, Milwaukee,
Sheboygan, Manitowoc.
Now we must make a Jong hairpin
bend to follow the finger of Door
peninsula. What luck! The cherry
orchards are in blossom, white as
popcorn. And right through them
runs the glistening streak of the
Sturgeon bay and Lake Michigan
ship canal. At the finger’s tip the
beachy outer shore meets a rising
and often cliffy inner shore. Green
bowered Ephraim, with its white
gables and steeples nestled at the
foot of some of those first hills,
looks like a bit of New England—
though actually it was founded by
Moravian immigrants from Nor
way.
Sports Aplenty
Pleasure craft dash about like
waterbugs in the cove, and across
it, an incredibly green bald spot in
the dark woodland, is a cliff-top golf
course with people trudging about
in sweaters that bring specks of gay
color to the picture. This evidently
is a headquarters for holiday fun.
And so down Green Bay, which
(finger-shaped, too) points to an up
land continuation of itself, huge
Lake Winnebago. The hills that be
gan at Ephraim run on southward
past this lake and to it, up the Fox
river, steams a barge fleet laden
with coal, no doubt headed for in
dustrial Appleton or Oshkosh. Strad
dling the river where it empties into
the bay is the checkerwork of roof
tops and tree-lined streets of Green
Bay, one of the Midwest’s oldest
cities.
There are lakes aplenty. Here is
big Lac Vieux Desert, key land
mark of the interstate boundary.
Here arc the Manitowish waters, 14
lakes in one chain—what a place
for a boat and a basket of lunch!
Ahead no*v is the pale cold blue
of the largest of all American lakes,
Superior. Ore trains from Hurley
and the Gogebic iron mines in Mich
igan snake along briskly below us,
on their way to the docks at Ash
land.
After circling Chequamegon bay,
here we are over Bayfield peninsula
and the Apostle islands. You would
expect the Apostles to be an even
12 in number, but these are unbib
lically numerous. Weatherbeaten
fishing villages protrude from the
green of cedar groves on some of
them.
And so away to Superior. Wiscon
sin’s lake-head cort. Near its har
bor entrance are the docks from

we swoop down

Scenic Beauty
This famously beautiful river, at
St. Croix Falls, sinks into its most
famous reach, the Dalles, where the
water swirls in tholes in the ruddy
basaltic rock. The white squares of
picnic cloths spread on the grass
are a reminder that Minnesota and
Wisconsin, some 40 years ago, here
established Interstate park.
Below Hudson the deep valley of
the St. Croix sweeps into the deep
valley of the Mississippi, and soon
their joined waters widen into Lake
Pepin. Here the Father of Waters
is at his grandest. Like an old king
of a peaceable people, who has
grown fat and cheerful, he spreads
out between the ramparts of the
hills, and naps in the sunshine. This
nap ends where the Chippewa river
enters. In fact, that hurrying
stream brings down the gravel that
dams the greater valley, and so
causes the lake to be.
The hills, as a rule, march down
to the edge of the outermost skein
of w’ater. But La Crosse, Wiscon
sin’s western gate, is built on flat
ground. This was the Prairie de la
crosse of the old days, when the
Indians played their game of la
crosse on it, 300 men at one time
often participating in the good
natured rough-and-tumble contest.
Down from the hills behind La
Crosse wind the coulees Hamlin
Garland made famous in his Middle
Border books—small, fruitful, won
derfully pretty valleys.
Prairie du Chien, too, is built on
a riverside flat place. This is his
toric ground. It was a neutral trad
ing center in Indian times. A battle
of the War of 1812 was fought here.
On the bank we can see the broad
beamed house where Jefferson
Davis woeed Zachary Taylor’s
daughter.
Variety Here!
At Shullsburg, among the rolling
hills, we catch a glimpse of zinc
and lead mines. Then mile on mile
of peaceful dairy country. The
brown of Brown Swiss, the black
and-white of Holsteins, taking an
evening browse in the pastures, tell
plainly that this is a land rich in
milk. Big white barns with twin
silos repeat the milky theme.
Now beneath us twinkle the lights
of Beloit, where weighing devices
are made by Fairbanks-Morse. And
above Lake Geneva, at Williams
bay, like an astronomer’s brow,
thoughtful in the starlight, the 90
foot dome of the Yerkes observa
tory makes a moony landmark
