Didn't LIKE The CARNIVAL

The Street Fair at La1dysnith is on
this week and is drawing crowds each
daY. A large number from here went
I'D on Thursday and took in the show
and showed their appreciation OF
Ladysmith in their treatment OF
Bruce during the fair. AS an educa-
tor we can't feel that the street fair is
much Of q benefit to place but we are
not here to condemn. Thefair was
probably as good as the average
street fair aud the free attractions
were good and some OF the shows
were creditable, while the usual num-
Der of fakirS were in evidence. There
did not seem to be much doing in
the stores and the weather was a
little cold to enjoy the outside air.
AS a usual thing people who go to u
fair of any kind do not go to spend
money In stores or do business with
the merchants but to see the sights
and spend their money seeing them.
But we leave it TO the people Of
Ladysmith to Judge whether the fair
was q financial success or not. We
enjoyed the day in Ladysmith any
way.-Bruce Newsletter.
Brother Briggs evidently did not
get into the spirit of the occasion, or
the carnival spirit did not get into
him He cannot Ofcourse appreciate
that in a busy commercial centre
like Ladysmith we need something
like a street carnival to give us an
opportunity to relax from the steady
nervous strain. In a rural commu-
nifty this need is notso much felt. AMI
then probably Bro. Briggs was con-
stantIy making comparison with
"our county fair" and as a street
carnival is altogether different, it did
not just take with him.
Come again, Bro. Briggs and bring
m ore Bruce people with you.

UNIVERSITY HELPS IN DRAiNAeE

The department OF soils OF the In
fversity of Wisconsin Agricultural
college is rendering material aid, o
far as time permits, to individual
farmers, or groups of farmers, in tie
sta te in solving problems in land
drainage. Instructor e. r. Jones dur
ing the past six months has spent
from one to three days on each ten
different farms or areas IN northern
and eastern Wisconsin. One Of the
projects was the organizing OF q
drainage district, and two others in
vOlved the laying out Of town ditch
es. The remainder of the work has
consisted of running levels, laying
out main and lateral linen of tile, and
computing the available grades.
Grade stakes have been set for the
farmers, and in two instances dem
OnstratiOns were made in the laying
of tile. Although it is necessary to
ask those directly benefited to pay
the travelling expenses incurred no
charge whatever is made for services
rendered, 1t is the policy of the soils
department, whenever possible, to
send a man with an instrument to
help any farmer or group of farmers
in the state, in order to encourage
systematic land drainage, and there
by to increase the productivity of
Wisconsin soils.

Rusk couNTYs FRUIT EXHIBIT

r. f. d. Bruce, Wis, Oct. IA
Editor News Budget:
In view of the display OF apples at
the Rusk County Fair, there is no
doubt in the minds of the people
about raising apples in Rusk county
Nor was this the only lesson the
farmers could learn: A careful study
OF the variety would assist him III
his choice of trees for his orchard.
OF the standard apples the Duchess
was most prominent, seven displays
coming from points varying from the
north to south line of the connty,
and is without doubt the hardest
OF all large apples for this section,
not excepting the Hibernal, which is
classed as the hardest OF standard APP
Piles by the Minnesota Horticulture
Society and was represented by two
displays. Patterns Greening was re-
presented with three plates of fruit.
The above three apples mentioned,
with the Charlamoff, are the only
apples classed in the first degree OF
hardness by the Minnesota HOrti-
cultural Society.
The Wealthy, unsurpassed by any
apple for quality now in cultivation,
was represented from three growers
in the county, and in favorable To-
cations may be planted with safety.
The large red apple that attracted
SO much attention-Wolf River, with
three plates to it's CREDITS very
tardy coming into bearing and then
very shy except under the very best
of conditions. The other standard
apples that were represented came
from such an exceptionally favorable
point for an orchard that they were
hardly fair & zion for the county
at Sarge togo
OF the crabs, the 'rranscendent was
largely displayed from many points
of the county. For some reason its
bad habit of blighting has been
almost absent in Rusk county.
The Virginia was also on display;
the fruit is about as good as the
Transcendent and the trees make the
best and hardest growers | have
seen in the county.
The Whitney, the best of all the
hybrids, was well represented.
In talking with exhibitors we find
that the apples were grown only on
our heavy and medium heavy soils,
and to plant them on our lightest
soils would be useless. The ground
must have slope enough to carry off
the surface water, sloping to the
north preferred.
| am willing to furnish any further
information by mail on request, to
the best of my ability, to anyone
thinking OF starting an orchard in
this county. Tom FOSTER,
Supt. of Fruit, Rusk County Fair.

ination of hardy varieties Of corn

creased from PA bushels in 1901 to
41.5 bushels in 1906. In other words,
