COLLEGE FOR FARMERS
Farmers Courses at State University
/ and County Agricultural Schools

The two weeks farmers course at
the University of Wisconsin College of
Agriculture Feb. 9-19 is to be of I'M
usual interest. Conservation of Farm
Resources" will be the principal sub
ject considered, and the lectures on
soils fertility, and crop and animal pro-
duction will emphasize this phase of
agriculture. The college will be able
to accommodate the expected increase
in enrolment, 1urther facilities being
anorded in the new live stock pavilion
which will be ready for use Feb. 1.
The success of the one week farmers
course in Winnebago and Marathon
counties last year has Influenced each
of the four county agricultural and
domestic science high schools at Me
nominee, Wausau, Winneconne, and
Marinette, to offer courses this winter
These are planned in cooperation with
the college of agriculture and members
of the faculty of the college will as
sist in giving instruction in the county
courses. In the development of the
farmers course work, it will be mani
testify impossible FOR the college to meet
the growing needs, and only by the
establishment of these sectional courses
can all Of the farmers Of the state DE
accommodated. Those who can attend
the two weeks course at the university
are being urged by the college authori-
ties to do so, while those who car not
be absent from home so long a time
are being urged to attend county
meeting. Detailed programs of courses
at Madison and in each of the county
schools are in preparation.

The special meeting of the Council
Monday night to consider the street
lighting contract was barren of results
in a way, but the aldermen accomplish
ed something in that they fixed a time
limit of sixty days for the further CON
sideration of the contract At the end
Of this period in case the alderman
from the First ward, who has all along
commended that lights could be secured
for Kenosha at a, lower figure than that
made by the Kenosha Gas and Electric
company fails to make good, there does
not appear to be much that the Council
can do except accept the best terms it
can get from the local company. In
the meantime should the Kenosha com
pany withdraw it's bid the matter
would be just that much further away
from a settlement. It would hardly do
for the Council to let this contract in
the face Of the repeated declarations
of Alderman Pirsch that he could pro-
duce a responsible competing company
with a lower bid and the Council acted
wisely in giving him a chance to bring
in his competition. 1t must be admitted
that among the men who are more or
less familiar with the problem Of light
ing the city there is little faith in the
ability of the alderman to fulfill his
promise to secure competitive bids from
responsible outside companies, but
there is no doubt but that the great
majority of our people wish him the
greatest possible success in this under
taking. He has declared that he can
get something better for the city than
the offer of the present holders of the
lighting contract and he now has the
opportunity to produce it. The matter
is up to him. In case he fails we do
not believe that the city will lose any
thing for it is hardly likely that the
local company will raise it's bid in the
meantime and should it turn out that
the alderman has nothing to back, his
statements the city will be able to
make the same contract sixty days
from now as it could have made last
Monday night.

The speakers before the milk ship
pers union who charged the Chicago
authorities with fraud and collision for
the benefit of the big milk dealers in
the enforcement of sanitary regulations
for the sale of their product in that
city dealt in generalities only and that
kind of talk has little weight with peo-
pie of unbiased mind. Their argu-
ments would have had much more eff
feet and would have been entitled to
much more consideration had they put
a finger on any one thing in the regula-
tions, declared "Herein an injustice is
being done to the small shipper and
proved their contention. The shippers
must have public sentiment behind
them to win this fight and for that
very reason they should be all the
more careful not to give the slightest
impression that there may be a posi-
bility that they are fighting against
reasonable regulation Of their business
in the interests of the public health.
That is the last thing they can afford.
The earnestness with which numbers
Of the level headed farmers of the
county have gone into this fight is
proof enough that they believe they
have real grievance and the first
thing for them to do is to convince the
public that they are in the right.
That is all they have to do to win, but
they will make no progress calling
names and making charges they cannot
prove The Chicago authorities may
have gone too far, may be mistaken,
but not criminal but until something
is proven against them the milk consu-
mer, at least, will be inclined to give
them the benefit Of a doubt.

Kenosha Attorneys and Laymen

pal Court in Kenosha
OLD BILL WORKED OVER
Assemblyman Curtiss Has Agreed TO
Give His Best Support to the
Measure if Endorsed in City
and the County

There is a we'll defined movement on
in Kenosha for the securing of the pas
sage of bill to provide for the es-
Enlistment of Municipal Court in
the city and it is said that the plan is
meeting with a great deal more support
at this time than it did two years ago
when bill leading to the establishment
of the court was presented to the state
legislature and lost in committee sim
ply because the City Council and the
County Board took no interest in the
creation of the proposed court. The
fact that the County Board is interested
in the matter at this time is shown by
the fact that the Board anticipating the
possible establishment of the court has
refused to allow for the lease Of the old
county building holding that this would
make an excellent place for a Municipal
Court room. The Common Council has
not as yet been approached on the
question, but it IS known that a num-
favor of the plan.
It is said that there is some opposi-
ton to the bill on the part of the men
who propose to be candidates for, the
office of justice of the peace at the com
ing city election as it. is admitted that
the establishment of the court will take
away large amount Of, the business
that is now being transacted in the JUS
tice Court, Several of the attorneys of
the city have secured copies. Of the
former bill which was drawn by the late
Benjamin O.. Sturges. The main proEi-
sions Of the new bill will be the same
las theoformer bill but its scope will be
wider. 9gItFis known that prominent
members tiqfn the ) Lincoln Club, have
sslgnifed an intention Of taking up the
fight for the passage Of the bill bill q and it

of the legislature if any is taken would
make the bill for the court go into eff
feet at any time set by the men draw
ing the bill and some Of the enthusiast
tic supporters of the plan are DESTROYS
of having the court established so that
a Judge could be elected at the coming
election. At. the present time several
men in the city have been asked to con-
slider themselves as possible candidates
for Judge Of the Municipal Court among
the number being Judge Joseph H.
Clarkson. Judge Clarkson has been
considered as man eninently equipped
for the poslnon, but it is not certain
that he would consent to seek the Office
even if the new court was established
at this legislature session.

In spite of the failure of the County
Board to enthuse over the plan of a
county poor farm, the men who have
made a study of local conditions are
by no means convinced that the farm
plan is not the best and cheapest
method Of caring for the dependents of
the city and it is by no means impos-
sible that they may not be able to
show that it would be better and cheap
er in the long run to get a. larger farm
and put the paupers on it. The prin-
cipal reasons for the failure of the
present farm to show a saving for the
city are that the farm is too small and
that all those who draw support from
the city are not made to live on it.
Other places have made these farms
very nearly self supporting and there
is no real reason why Kenosha cannot
do the same.

Uncle sam's Farm Manager.

Grs
Secretary Wilson's twelve years at
the head of the department of agricul-
ture have covered a period of won
derful progress in farming in the Unit
ed States. 1t was long the fashion to
treat with levity the work of Uncle
Sans farm bureau. A wasteful dis
tribution of seeds was popularity be-
lieved to be it's chief business. But
the present secretary has assumed for
his province the teaching of the great
body of producers how to get results
from their labors.
Granted that prosperity would have
come to the farmers anyway and that
the increase in crop production and
crop values was inevitable, the de-
partment officials and their staff have
not initiated the lucky lord of the soil
who sits on the fence and whites
while things grow. There has been
no letup in the work of trying to i'm
prove upon what almost seemed good
enough to be let alone. Secretary Will
son has demonstrated the practical
utility of scientific investigation and
instruction on mammoth scale-in
other words, paternalism-in this i'm
portant branch of national industry.
And his work will show to greater ad-
vantage when the struggle of man
with nature becomes keener

In many respects Wisconsin is far
ahead of neighboring states in the en-
forcement Of laws for the protection Of
fish and game, but an effort should be
made TO bring these states up to the
d. Wisconsin standard and to secure the
passage Of uniform laws. It is an
injustice to Wisconsin fishermen on
Lake Michigan for instance to enforce
closed season for them when the
fishermen in Illinois and Michigan are
allowed to continue their business at
all seasons without any restriction
whatever and no protection for the
fish either. There is no argument on
the proposition that there should be one
law for all men in the same line of
business.

not take kindly to the idea of a county
poor farm and it is evident that any
thing that is to be done along that line
will have to be done by the city alone.
The supervisors did not take enough
interest in the plan to even investi-
gate it.
