Scurry county is nearly all

twenty per cent of her acreage is
under cultivation. The county
would easily sustain a population
of $4,000. The lands can be
bought now for $40 to $50 per
acre and the time will soon come
when the values will be equal to
the farm values in eastern coun-
ties.
The man who buys a farm here
now will make no mistake. Many
a man bought land over east at
five dollars which can now be
sold for a hundred. The same sort
of development will come to
West Texas and quicker than it
did there, because the people are
more ready for it.

Morris Pump MAY Be Basis.

The mechanical world is much
interested in the double suction

the "Maine. The description of

Of the Perry Morris pump and it

Mr.. w. II. II. Smith died al

been an active, patriotic citizen
of Scurry county. A pioneer in
the development of the country
and never was known to shirk a
responsibility. He was post mas
ter at Dermott for a number Of
years where he also was engaged
in the mercantile business.
He was a moral and political
philosopher and took active inter-
est in the moral, educational and
political affairs of his state and
county. He was a newspaper

and his letters were read with
great interest.
He was bereft of his wife about
eight years ago and since then
his residence has been with his

PEOPLE GOING NORTH
Southern Counties Of State
Saidto be Losing Population
Farmers are Leaving
MANY REMAIN IN WISCONSIN,

That southern Wisconsin counties
will have to get busy shortly to keep
their present population entact is the
statement Of well known state Off
cial who has had occasion to read all of
the state papers closely of late.
The official in question produced two
clippings from the Badger Banner of
Black River Falls which told of the de-
parture of Milton Robinson and Louis
Zielsdorf, two farmers for location in
Dakota. One Of the items is headed,
"List of migrators is large which
would indicate that there were other
families that either had left or were
planning to go. He at the same time
stated that numerous such items were
contained in the papers in the counties,
IN the southern portion of the state and
showed that the departures from the
state were heavy.
He at the same time called attention
TO the present attack upon the 1mml-
grafton commission by legislators from
the southern portion of the state, who
wished for the adjustment of the com
mission. He stated that from the APP
pearance of the situation, it would be-
hoove the legislators from the state at
large to work even harder for better
and more efficient commission by Civ
ing the organization funds to work
with.
"The immigration situation is not
one sided and is not confined to north
ern Wisconsin alone. 1t applies to the
state at large and means the further
settling of southern Wisconsin as we'll
as the northern section of the state, -

Men From Agricultural Dis
tricts Get Much Support
in Madison
OPPOSE TUBERClJLIN TESTS

The farmer element in the legislature
yields an influence which is being tax
EN- into consideration by those having
any statewide measure in charge The
farmer vote, while not large enough
in either house to pass measures, is
large enough, in connection with OPP
ponents or supporters of bills, to eth
ed defeat or pass them. Hence in
legislation no little attention is being
paid to this element in the assembly,
particularly where out of the 100 mem
bers there are 81 farmers.
In the big measures the aim is to get
them in such shape that they will not
affect the farmers. This is shown in
the workmen s compensation &C t,
which has been held up for weeks while
the committee studied out way
whereby the farmers would not come
under the provisions of the act.
1t is thought this has been done
through the amendment providing that
the act shall not apply to employers
employing not more than three men.
It is also seen in the income tax bill
which is being carefully drawn so that
it will not hit the farmers in the state.
1t was shown in another way in a
bill up for engrossment in the senate
on Wednesday, where Senator Donald S
bill, providing for the teaching of ply
steal exercises in the schools of the
state did not include the rural schools.
Senator Whitehead called attention to
this and tried to amend by making the
bill apply to the country schools as
well as the city schools, but was not
successful. Other bills have the same
care of running against the farmer
rock lest they be dashed to pieces.
On the other hand, the binder Irvine
plant, which is demanded by the farm
ers, is booked for passage in accord
ance with that demand. The question
of the tuberculin test is very delicate
question and one that, on account of
the position taken by the majority of
the farmers, will have to be handled
with care. Unless bill is drawn which
will meet their objections there is like
ly to be trouble, not only in this direc-
ton but in others.
The farmer may not be king, but he
comes very near being the balance of
power in this session of the legislature
and that fact is recognized by every
one who has any measures which he
wishes to get through.

IMPORTANT WORK THIS WEEK.
Many Important Measures to Have
Final Hearings at Madison.

This week is to be another and prob
ably the last week of big hearings be-
fore the legislature. The charitable
and penal institutions committee will
take up a bill which although it came
in late in the session, is measure of
much legislative interest in that it re-
wives the old question of the sterilz-
alton of criminals, insane, feeble mind
ed and epileptic persons. The bill pro-
vides that upon an order Of the state
board of control made upon recommen-
dation of an alienist the operation
may be performed. 1t is said that a
large number of noted alienists will
be in Madison to address the legislative
committee in favor Of the bill. Iowa
has recently adopted law on this sub
ject and other states are discussing the
legislation seriously on the ground that
it is the only feasible plan by which
the state can guard itself against an
increase in the criminal and mentally
defective classes.
There will also be opposition shown
to the bill before the committee and
although so far there have been few
that have been aware that there was
a sterilization bill before this legisla-
ture, there have already been a large
number Of letters written to/members
4 Madison protesting against the pas
sage of measure on this subject bv
the Wisconsin legislature.
Another big hearing which will be
held this week will be that before the
committee on labor and labor condi-
tions one week from today on the Ma
hon measure for the creation of labor
commission which shall pass upon com
plants as to labor conditions the same
as the railway commission now passes
on railroad questions.
Wednesday afternoon the committee
on country living conditions will take
up the resolutions introduced by AS
semblyman Mahon early in the session
which provides for an investigation of
land conditions in Northern Wisconsin
with a view to giving aid to settlers.
These measures are in the shape of
constitutional amendment Resolutions
and if they are finally Incorporated in
the constitution will permit of state
loans both for the requirement of ma
chinery and other necessities for farm
work. Mr.. Mahon is much interested
in both these bills.

Fears of Ashland Ave. Residents.

At a special meeting of the sewer
committee of the common council held

South Ashland avenue. The people in
that portion of the city are ready to
ask the city for sewer if it can be
built as part of the old sewer sys-
tenn or in other words at rate of
$1.2o per foot. An examination of the
ordinance of the city seems to indicate
that this portion of the avenue is in
the old sewer district ana the charge
