Excerpt from The Rise and Decline of the Wheat Growing Industry in Wisconsin From the Seventh Censusof the United States we have com paratively reliable statistics as to the Wheat industry in Wiscon sin just preceding. The advent of the railroad. We have, further, overwhelming testimony as to conditions in respect to wheat cul ture in Wisconsin at that time. In the Transactions of the Wis consin State Agricultural Society for the year 18512 we have a report on Agricultural Condition and Capacity that covers nearly all of the more important wheat producing counties of that state. This report is supplemented by numerous references in the columns of the Wisconsin and Iowa Farmer and North western Cultivator, in the Prairie Farmer, and in the various lo cal newspapers, local histories, pamphlets, etc. According to the census of 1840, bushels of wheat were produced in Wisconsm in with an acreage of acres. The crop of 1849 according to the Seventh Census amounted to bushels, and the acreage had increased to acres.3 Practically the Whole amount in 1849 was produced south of Green Bay and east of the Wisconsin River. Rock and Walworth counties together produced 33 1-3 per cent. Of the total. The four counties of Rock, Walworth, Dane and Dodge produced approximately 50 per cent. Of the whole crop.

Published in Wisconsin's Sesquicentennial year, this fourth volume in The History of Wisconsin series covers the twenty tumultuous years between the World's Columbian Exposition and the First World War when Wisconsin essentially reinvented itself, becoming the nation's "laboratory of democracy." The period known as the Progressive Era began to emerge in the mid-1890s. A sense of crisis and a widespread clamor for reform arose in reaction to rapid changes in population, technology, work, and society. Wisconsinites responded with action: their advocacy of women's suffrage, labor rights and protections, educational reform, increased social services, and more responsive government led to a veritable flood of reform legislation that established Wisconsin as the most progressive state in the union. As governor and U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, Robert M. La Follette, Sr., was the most celebrated of the Progressives, but he was surrounded by a host of pragmatic idealists from politics, government, and the state university. Although the Progressives frequently disagreed over priorities and tactics, their values and core beliefs coalesced around broad-based participatory democracy, the application of scientific expertise to governance, and an active concern for the welfare of all members of society-what came to be known as "the Wisconsin Idea."
