ercises control. Why shonld he be Sc

There are many members of the board

er has had long experience and is an able
businessman. Mr.. Bye has been a
working member of the board. Mr..
Sergeant is clear headed member.
Mr.. Apker has had experience in the

qualified by education and by business

nous taxes for small benefits? Why
not new deal?
The time of the political trickster and
trader may not be past, but it ought to
be. 1t may be that a candidate for
county chairman can make his way into
office by trades, but such should be the
case,
The Ladysmith news and Ingram news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1905-1906, 1906-05-05

1t is understood that the county board
Of supervisors will hold it's first session
the latter part of the month. At that
meeting new organization will be eff
fected for the year.
The new organization will be one cal
culated to serve the people of the coun-
ty or it will serve the interests of those
who have axes to grind.
The Craftsmanship of the county board
is at this time very important matter.
1t involves the makeup Of the commit
tees. and under the present cumbersome
system of county government, this
means the manipulation of county affairs.
The News has touched upon some mat
tiers which indicate a favoritism in
county matters that is not at all pleasing
to those who want good county govern
ment. Among these is the allowance
of illegal fees to the sheriff.
The News wants to see the sheriff
paid what he is entitled to and no more.
It believes that that view is concurred
in by the people of Rusk county. 1t
wants all the business of the county
conducted along economic lines, and
believes that the people of the county
desire that also.
Almost from the organization of the
county every feature of county business
has been handled in the interests of a
well known political machine. That
machine is somewhat out of repair,
parts are broken and bent, rust has eff
fected it, cogs are missing but the en-
gineers are again attempting to put it
in repair.
The Craftsmanship is the first object
in view. Tony Helm, who has swung
matters in the past, is to retire and, if
things work out right C. P. Coon is to
be his successor. He is an active can
didate for the Craftsmanship. He wants
it so badly that he is offering committee
to members who will vote
for him for chairman of the board. He
offered the craftsmanship of the bridge
committee to a member in exchange
for his vote. Why? That members

committee and he declined the prop

chairmanships and if candidate for
chairman of the board can get vote
for each committee craftsmanship. he |
will come nrntt'--

They know that Mr.. Coon was in favor

TO RECLAIM PEAT LANDS.

/ IL hEClLAlM FEAT LANDS.
"Other experiments on recently drain
ed peat lands in the Wisconsin River
Valley constitute another part of the
work. Within the last few years about
$50, 900 acres of peat lands have been
organized into drainage districts, largely
in the Wisconsin Valley. The value of
this land for agricultural purposes after
it is reclaimed is matter of some un-
certainty. In many cases one or two
crops have greatly reduced the fertility
of the soil and the yields thereafter
have been unprofitably small. During
the past two years the University of
Wisconsin experiment station has been
carrying on an investigation of the fer
tilizing of this peaty soil at an exper-
mental field near Marinette. 1t has
been clearly shown by this investigation
that both phosphoric acid and potash
will be required in order to make this
soil produce good yields. These and
other experiments will be tried on the
two experimental fields in the Wisconsin
River Valley. AS large part of these
lands are being put on the market and
sold to farmers from outside of the state,
the experimental station desires to give
all possible aid in making a success of
cultivation Of these plants.
WILL INVESTIGATE EXHAUSTED SOILS.
In connection with this experiment.
tai work field study will be made of the
effects of continuous cropping, especial
ly in relating to the tendency which
various kinds of soils show to become
exhausted in one element alone. Last
year the experimental station carried
on preliminary work on the lack of fer
tility shown on farms in the western
part of Wisconsin where all the fertilizer
produced on the farm had been applied
to the tobacco field, and the fertilization
of the remaining part of the cultivated
land had been neglected. In some of
these fields a great lack of available
