jefferson Bee: The statement is
often heard nowadays that Iowa land
will not return fair profit to either
owner or renter on valuation OF
SIS to 500 per acre. We do not
believe the statement to be true. In
cases where it may appear to be true
it is usually the fault Of the farming
and not Of the land. A Poweshiek
county man set out this year to make
a record of a 4O-acre field. and the
result strongly emphasized the i'm
portance- of intensive farming oper-
!. atoms. In the selection of seed and
at every other point, he neglected no
factor in crop making. A single
acre of this field produced l47 bush
i els of corn and five wagon loads Of
pumpkins. On the remainder Of
I, IHo liolu Guo ylCAu was Aoo11y DC
r large. Never before had this tract
of land produced more than eighty.
/ seven bushels to an acre. 1t is an
) easy matter to prove that land does
t not have to produce as much as l47
t bushels of corn to an acre in o MOI
8 too favorable year to be worth on the
d basis Of its earning capacity more
than 5000 an acre. And if proper.

to her husband, Geo. Wandell. A

A GREAT GAME OF BALL.
Best Ever Played in Southwestern
Wisconsin.
DODGEVlLLE VS.. MINERAL POINT,
At the Fair Grounds Last Friday
Afternoon.

One of the most exciting games OF
base ball ever played between high
schools in Southwestern Wisconsin
was played on the fair grounds in this
city on last Friday, when our home
team defeated the Dodgevitle highs by
score of 3 to 0. 1t could be plainly
seen before the game started that it
was going TO be no easy victory for
either side. The game was called at
/ O'Clock, with large gathering of
people, both of Dodgeville and of this
town. The game stood 0 TO up to
the 9th innings when the Dodgeville
boys secured "a and Sd bases. Only
one man being out it looked certain
that Dodgeville would secure u score,
but a foul knocked by the next batter
was neatly caught by Ovitz: the next
man at the bat famed, and our boys
came in from the field. 1t was here
that the game was won and lost, when
a two-base hit on the part of Fayette
Harwick, bringing in score by II
man who was on base Elmer Hor-
uung and Wallace Penhallegon also
scored. Ovitz our pitcher famed IA
men, the Dodgeville ditcher tanning )
of our team.
Our high school second team played
the Dodgeville second team at the
fair grounds Saturday. They had an
easy victory over the visitors from
the start. The score was 81 to 3.
