PRELIMINARY WORK
COMMENCED LAST WEEK

Work was begun last week un the
construction of an addition to the
Grand Rapids Pulp & Paper Com
pany's mill at Biron, on the Wisconsin
river about three miles above Grand
Rapids. The addition, which is to be
of brick and stone construction, will
be an extension of the present grind
ing room, and will be two story
structure, 4SxS0 feet in size.
Peter Leurs, of Kaukauna, Wis,
has charge of the present work of
putting in a coffer-dam previous to
the main work of building. The con-
tract for The entire construction is
held Dy William Ule & Company, of
Stevens Point. About $500 yards OF
rock must be blasted out in the con.
struction of the building, which will
require further, about 10000 brick,
500 cords Of stone, and thirty-six tons
of steel frame work.
Within the completed building will
be installed four new vertical wheels
and pair of horizontal wheels, made
in York, Pennsylvania. The ma
chinery other than these has not been
purchased. The both floors will be
Of cement, laid on steel beams.
Owing to the great amount of rock
blasting which must be done, the
WORK will not be finished much before
August. The extension when COM
pleted will be a great improvement to
the mill and will greatly increase the
output of the mill. 1t is estimated
that the work will make necessary an
outlay of nearly $4,000. Jacobson &
DeGuere, of Grand Rapids, made the
plans of the extension, and will
Superintend the work of building,

RHINELANDER PAPER
MILL ADDITION
In Charge of Jacobson e DeGuere
Mill Architects.

Plans for vast amount of improve
ment on the property of the Rhine
lander Paper Company, of Rninelander
Wis, are being made this week by
Jacobson & DeGuere, of Grand
Rapids, who will superintend the
work sof construction. An addition,
2Sx46 feet will be built, similar in
construction to the present building.
Within this new building will be
installed four new grinders, two to be
driven by new water wheel and the
others by directly connected electric
motor. A number of electric motors
will be put in, to take the place of the
old water wheels. The electric power
will be drawn from the Rhinelandcr
Power Company, from a new plant
being built near RhineIander, on the
Wisconsin river. When this plant is
completed and it's power available,
the output of the pulp mill will be
increased by about half. The parts
of the mill now in operation will also
be re-arranged for convenience.
These improvements are expected to
be completed about September /, of
this year and at an outlay of about
$50, 1000.

ERNEST SCHREIBER
FOUND GUILTY

Circuit court was opened Thursday
morning by a continuation of Judge
Conway's tplea for the defendant in
the Schneider case, and the final
argument in behalf of the state by
District Attorney Brazeau. After
receiving their Instructions from
Judge Webb, the jury retired at half
past eleven, and remained out for
three hours. The verdict rendered
was guilty, as charged in the COM
rlaint. The Judge reserved sentence
till later date. The mother of the
defendant was present during the
trial, and when the verdict was read
was taken sobbing from the room.
The next case taken up was that of
Frank Boyanowski, president of the
Grand Rapids Brewing Company, who
was charged with petty larceny. The
larceny in question was that of the
alleged theft of contract for mOnu-
ment work. Judge Webb decided
that the contract was not a complete
one, and therefore was not a legal, or
binding one, and for that reason,
took the case from the jury, and
dismissed the defendant.
The remainder of the criminal cases
were continued or settled out of court
except the murder case of Abraham
KaratSky, who is charged with the
murder of Mrs. Rebecca FInklestein,
of the town of Saratoga. This case
will probably be left till the end of the
calendar.
Another criminal case. that against
M. ]. and Hattie Johnson, for keeping
house of i'll fame, may be tried here
by agreement of the attorneys, and if
Judge O'Neil of the seventeenth
circuit can be secured to come to
Grand RAPIDS and try the case.

NEW SASH AND DOOR
FACTORY READY FOR WORK

The new sash and door factory. the
construction Of which was begun
last fall, is about completed and will
be started up next Monday to test
the machinery and to begin the
manufacture of door and window
Sashes Of all kinds. The factory is
owned and will be operated by Halver-
son Brothers, formerly of Marinette,
Wisconsin.
Most of the machinery to be placed
in the second story is in place aud
ready to run. 1t is all new and of
modern design and is intended to
produce all kinds of sash and doors.
The motive power in the factory is to
be steam, which will be used in the
dry kiln which is to be constructed az
soon as possible. Besides these two
buildings, a warehouse will be built,
fronting onto the side track which
will be put in by the Green Bay &
Western railroad company. This
will make three buildings all to be
used and as 1t is within short
distance Of the railroad and depot,
will have good transportation
facilities.
The senior partner of the firm, who
will act as manager, said Wednesday
that they expected to employ about
fifteen men from the start and more
later, as the plant was gotten under
way. This is the only institution of
its kind in Grand Rapids and promises
and should lie a successful venture.
1t is benefit to the city, since it
furnishes employment to more men
and the management promise good
work, which should bring to them a
large and well deserved patronage.
Halverson Brothers came to Grand
Rapids as strangers and ask only that
their products be allowed to speak
for themselves. For the good of the
city and for the sake of adding to the
list Of business organizations here we
hope to see the venture prove a
success.

Why Suffer From Rheumatism

Why suffer from rheumatism when
one application Of Cnamberlain's Pain
Balm will relieve the pain? The
quick relief which this Iiniment
affords make rest and sleep possible,
and that alone is worth many times

hoping only for short relief from

to find that after awhile the relief
became permanent. Mrs. V. H.

the proprietors of the Halfbreed

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
CONVENTION
To be Held September 1922.

J. G.. Thurman and III. f. Barstow,
president and secretary; respectively.
of the state board Of missions OF the
Christian church, were in Grand
Rapids this week, to arrange the
preliminaries for holding the state
convention of that church. September
1922 was the date agreed upon, and
Grand Rapids the place for holding
the convention, at which about
one hundred delegates are expected.
Two months ago the Christian
church was an unknown factor in
religious matters in Grand Rapids,
but through the efforts of Evangelists
DeVoe and Shields, strong local
organiza tioh is being built up and the
doctrine is becoming well known. In
recognition of this work, and because
of the central location of Grand
Rapids, together with its good
railroad facilities, the committee
selected this city as the place for
holding the state convention.
Much of the success of the meetings
and even the selection of Grand
Rapids as the convention city for this
year is due to the untiring energy and
zeal of B. G. Eggert, who has sacrificed
time and money toward establishing
a local Christian church. and making
Grand Rapids the hub from which
the Spokes of church influence should
radiate throughout the state. From
three families to strong church
organization and the securing the
state convention is not bad record
for two months work.

ALFALFA In WISCONSIN

A series Of experiments in growing
alfalfa which have been carried on at
the University of Wisconsin Expert
ment Station during the past six
years and the results of which have
just been published in the form of a
bulletin, show that alfalfa can be
successfully grown as forage plant in
practically all parts of Wisconsin, and
far exceeds in nutritive value clover,
timothy, and brome-grasS. The
experiments were conducted under
the direction of the Experiment
Station at the University farm and at
various points throughout the state
by alumni of the College of Agriculture
who are members Of the Wisconsin
Experiment Association. One in
teresting part of these tests consisted
in the incubation Of the soil with the
bacteria necessary for the successful
growing of alfalfa, and it baS been
decided to continue these incubation
tests ,during the coming year liz
various parts of the state, both with
cultures furnished by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and with bacteria laden soil from the
University farm.
Purpose Of the Tests.
Since the experiments in alfalfa
were begun six years ago on quarter
acre of land, various tests have been
made each year and an increased
acreage, until last year several acres
of alfalfa were successfully raised.
The general purpose of these tests has
been to determine the character Of

the soil most favorable to its growth,
the methods of preparing the soil, the
advantages and disadvantages of a
nurse crop, the proper amount of seed
to sow per acre, the time and manner
of cutting. the curing OF the hay, aud
the effect of pasJuring upon the
growth of the plant.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1905-05-12
Soil Bacteria Necessary.

1t has been found that unless certain
bacteria are present in the soil, alfalfa
like clover will not grow readily and
will often Sicken and die. Expert
ments elsewhere have developed the
fact that the bacteria necessary for
alfalfa are the same as those found on
the roots of the common sweet clover.
Observations in Wisconsin show that
in those sections where sweet clover
grows abundantly by the roadside
practically all the plants in the adjoin
ing fields of alfalfa develop the proper
nOduleS.

Needs Well Drained Soil.
1t has been found that while clover
thriveS in a low rich soil, alfalfa
requires higher and drier locality.
1t does best on we'll drained soils that
are underlaid with a gravelly sub-soil.
For the best results with alfalfa, a
piece of land should be selected that
has porous sub-soil with gentle
slope. A mellow loam with a gravel
sub-soil that will give thorough
drainage is therefore best adapted for
alfalfa. Seed should be Sown in the
spring on we'll drained soil of fall
ploughed land which is thoroughly
prepared by disking and dragging.
Selecting and Planting Seed.
During the past year tests were
made with several varieties of alfalfa
but the difference between ;them was
not found to be very marked. The
American Alfalfa and the Sand
Lucern seemed much more vigorous
than the Turkestan, and took on a
dark green color, while the Turkestan
took on yellowish hue and aportion
of the leaves dropped. The amount
of alfalfa hay produced per acre from
the different varieties, did not differ
widely. The American yielded 81,
the Turkestan, so, and the Sand
Lucern SO tons per acre from the
cuttings.
The price of the several kinds OF
seed differs considerably, as it varies
from ten to twenty cents per pound.
On account of the price of the seed,
and the Importance Of getting a
uniform stand, farmers are urged to
avoid the risk of sowing seeds OF
questionable terminating power.
Good seed will give terminating
test ranging from 80 to 100 per cent,
and hence no seed testing below 80
should be planted.
Cutting and Curing.
Alfalfa should be cut for hay when
one-ffth in bloom. A mistake is often
made by letting it stand until in full
bloom. If alfalfa is cut at the proper
stage and not too close to the ground,
it RECEIVERS readily and can be cut a
second time in thirty days. Three
cuttings and sometimes four can be
obtained in a single season, but none
should be cut later than the middle of
September, as sufficient growth can
not be secured after that period to
afford proper winter protection. The
plants on the various plots at the
University farm reached the cutting
stage as early as June 6. The second
cut was made on July IL, thirty-six
days after the first cutting, the third
cut August II, thirty-one days after
third cutting, and the fourth
September l6, thirty-five days after
third cutting. Hay caps are essen
tial lin curing alfalfa hay especially
the first crop, as they protect it from
rain, dew and sunshine, each Of which
