The Early Bird and the Worm


It is a set phrase that the early bird
catches the worm. By inverse reason
ing the conclusion is easily arrived at
that the early worm gets caught. And
many-very many-appear to be Tear
full of the fate of the early worm.
The News has in recent issues dis
cussed the in dustry of making turpen-
tine. tar, etc., from old pine stumps.
1t is a new industry, or rather, an old
industry adapted to new conditions.
Nowhere, we believe, save in single
factory in Minnesota, are these products
'made>f from stumps. AS we have stated
turpentine is made in the south from
pine, but no stumps are used. Nor
would the proposition there be feasible
until land shall have become more OF
necessity to the people than now. But
in the north we have a condition much
different from that of the south. We
have people DESTROYS of denuding thier
lands of the pine stumps. This process
is being carried to such extent as the
people can stand the expence.
Now, the industry in question means
the elimination of this expense. 1t
means more-it mean that the stumps,
of the Norway variety at least, will be-
come an asset and not a liability when
such plants are installed. 1t is, then,
important that such industry be estab-
lshed wherever Norway stumps prevail,
which means considerable area in the
southwestern part of the country.
1t is matter of Importance to the
whole county. There is likelihood
that the white pine will also be available.
The News has made arrangements to
have the white pine stumps tested by
analysis, which will probably determine
the question.
Not alone the farmer, but land own
ers and merchants at trading points
shonld be interested in this matter.
To illustrate:
A factory consuming ten cords of
stumps per day would pay at $500 per
cord $40, $50 each year for material alone.
Wages would exceed that amount,
making more than $50, 900 available for
trading purposes in territory of five
or six miles square and such territory
would maintain factory for score of
years. There is probably Norway ma
terial enough in Rusk county for several
such factories.
To illustrate further = such factory
would take the stumps off 800 acers or
more per year. That amount of land
will be ready for the pillow and the fol-
lowing harvests of several thousands
of dollars per year. The farmer or
merchant who lacks interest to investi-
gate such a proposition will not be act
ing the part of the early bird. And
he who is to fearful of the fate of the
early worm will not be likely to reap
the harvest.
The News has hopes that the analysis
of the white pine stumps will be favor
able.

Small Acreage and Intense Farming.
The development of the tobacco in
dustry in the north has gone far to at
tract attention to the advantage OF
small acreage and intense farming.
The sugar beet industry is another that
has trebled the output of acres. The
writer remembers being asked by the
st. Paul Pioneer press back in the
SOS if he anticipated that the noble
American farmer would bend his back
to the..care of sugar beets. The Am
erican farmer has showed what The is
good for.
And now comes the alcohol question,
not as temperance issue, but as a
field of industry. The bill providing
for denatured alcohol may not have the
effect anticipated by the optomists, but
there are indications that the produc-.
ton of alcohol will influence the mat
ter of intensified farming. According
to the agricultural department at
Washington the Germans, who have
been ahead of us in this matter and
have paved the way we are following.
A bushel of potatoes adapted to the
production of alcohol will produce four
fifths of gallon Of alcohol. The de-
partment estimates that an acre Of
American soil will produce 500 bushels
of this variety of potatoes. 1t is fur-
Their stated that the residue left from
the process will be a valuable stock
food-practically paying for the manu-
facture of the alcohol. A little fgur-
ing will.indicate the value Of the out
put from an acre Of ground in this pro-
cess on the estimate that alcohol will
sell at 3Oc per bushel, less five cents as
the cost ofsdenaturing.
The department says that the process
is simple one that can be mastered by
anyone of ordinary intelligence.
These matters are Of special interest
to holders of small acreage. If far
mer can get 500 per acre from his
land he can afford to put in more time
at distiiling than the offal is worth for
stock food.
Rusk county is well adapted to the
production of potatoes and her farmers
with their usual small acreage will do
we'll to take note Of every opportunity
to secure the largest possible returns
from those acres.
Some will say that the industry will
be overdone, but other industries cali
ing for intense farming and yielding
large returns are not overdone. Sugar
and tobacco are not too cheap, at least
not for the consumer.
