This group represents "Prosperity and Abundance." It is composed of female figures the
center one standing by a vase which is overflowing with rich fruits, while she is
extending the right hand in an attitude of giving. Each of the other figures bears a
cornucopia which is the usual symbol of plenty. Fertility of soil and climatic conditions
determine largely the returns for agricultural effort and these in turn determine
prosperity in general. Wisconsin is wonderfully favored in this respect. Her soil is rich
and her climatic salubrious. From her many varied industries a great stream of wealth
flows through the various channels into the homes of her people, enabling them to provide
comfortably for themselves as well as for the maintenance and development of their
government whose protection they receive.
