These census estimates are probably more accurate for the isolated colonies in 

 Indiana, Missouri, and southern Wisconsin, than for the "regular range" of north- 

 ern Wisconsin. The Indiana estimate was made during the "comeback" of 1912 

 and is far in excess of the present number. It is interesting to observe that the 

 Indiana "comeback" attained about the same density as Wisconsin now shows.
