Wisconsin Can Say
No Farming Allowed
Wisconsin, in its sixth year of work
with a land zoning law which permits
county governments to say, “No
Farming Here,” and enforce the
statement, has found that such legis
lation must be preceded by convincing
people of its necessity and be accom
panied by local acknowledgment of
the justice of the law.
W. A. Rowland, project leader, Uni
versity of Wisconsin, told Ohio exten
sion agents that the problems of the
land and of the people can not be
separated. He declared that even ur
ban residents have come to recognize
that fat cattle can not grow on lean
Boil.
Wisconsin’s problem of dealing with
lands from which timber was taken
and the soil fertility then removed by
a few crops is matched by problems
in other states where land has been
ruined by too many years of culti
vated crops. When farm land for any
reason loses its power to produce
profitable crops, there immediately
arises a lot of human problems.
In Wisconsin, as in other states,
owners of unprofitable farms sold
them if possible. The original own
ers were replaced by people who

would accept a smaller farm income.
These new’ owners took toll from the
soil, soon found it impossible to ob
tain farm income enough to meet
their needs, and left the farm.
Farms so poor that they were un
salable were occupied by families who
acquired possession by squatters’
rights. These families could not
wring a living from the soil but lived
in a community that required children
to attend school and that w’ould not
permit neighbors to starve.
The burden of supporting the
schools and of providing relief fell
upon farm owners who had managed
their lands to retain its productive
ness and upon townspeople who de
pended upon a prosperous agriculture
to provide a market for manufactured
goods and for services. Road build
ing to isolated farms and snow re
moval to permit egress from those
farms in winter increased the finan
cial burden.
People in the affected sections of
Wisconsin decided they should be giv
en the power of decision to say w’hat
should be done with distressed farm
land. They obtained the legal right
to designate land as being unfitted
for farming and to forbid its occu
pation for that purpose.
Squatters could not move into
shacks and await provision of roads,
schools and food. Mr. Rowland did
not suggest the Wisconsin law to Ohio
extesion agents as a solution for Ohio
land problems. He advised that Ohio
continue its land use studies and
make its own decision of the best w’ay
to improve the situation here.
He emphasized the importance of
rural people working on land use
study committees so they would have
first-hand knou-ledge of local condi
tions and an interest in correcting
any undesirable features. The adop
tion of corrective measures would re
quire the assistance of townspeople
living in the area so it is important
they be informed of work done and
proposed by the land use committees.

Some People Doubted
Value Of Farm Market
When Ohio extension agents and
specialists years ago prophesied that
the building of electrical power lines
would be followed by the purchase of
a lot of equipment other than light
ing fixtures, there was a tendency
in some quarters to discount the en
thusiastic prediction.
Events have proved the extension
staff was pessimistic, if anything. D.
C. Foster, agricultural agent in Paul
ding county, says 3,000 rural custo
mers of the Putnam-Paulding Electric
Cooperative operate at least 150 elec
tric ranges, 750 mechanical refriger
ators, and 1,000 electric pumps.
Current was turned on in the first
section of line only three years ago,
and a 100-mile section of line has just
been energized. The whole system
includes 795 miles of power line in the
two counties.
The Cooperative was financed with
a loan of $699,000 from the REA to
be repaid in installments over a per
iod of 20 years. Although the last
section of line was finished recently,
the Putnam-Paulding Cooperative al
ready has made advanced payments
of principal and interest totaling
more than $20,000.
Mr. Foster estimates there are 10,
000 more farms in the area which
can be furnished power by the lines
now built. It is reasonable to sup
pose that owners of these farms will
be as good customers for electrical
appliances and supplies as the owners
of farms where the power now is
available.
The Paulding agent points out there
is an enormous market for manufact
ured goods on American farms if the
farmers obtain an income higher than
the needs for necessities, taxes, and
interest. He contends that city and
country need more practice in team
work.
