NINTH DISTRICT
NOW WAKING UP

There is generally expressed opin-
ion among politicians that the Ninth
District, which has been for SO long
In the Republican ranks, Is rapidly
drifting away from that party An
indication Of tho weakening of Re-
publican power in the great South
west WAS shown IN the contest be-
tween Henry 9. Stuart and BaScom
c. slemp. in which Slemp's large ma
iorlty of previous years was cut down
to mere hand full. This was fur
ther emphasized in tho election last
week. when some of the former Re
publican strongh olds were wiped OFT
tho map a.s such and transferred to
the Democratic column.
The principal cause of this. as stat
ed by Senator Roland Il. Chase, OF
Dickinson county. who Is In the city,
ia attributed 10 the fractional Repub-
lican fights over the distribution OF
offices, which Is rapidly transform
ing the forces into independents, who
use their ballot for men instead Of

commended for passing the law in time
to save the harness. The law provides
that all state land suitable for agri-
culture may be sold on terms, the first
payment to be not less than Is per
cent. of the price, and in no case less
than the value of the timber on the
land. The balance may be paid at any
time within twenty years, with interest
at seven per cent.
The original and most highly COM
mendable feature of the law is the
provision favorlng the actual settler
who improves the land. The purchaser
IS to be given credit on purchase price
tor improve nlents made on the land as
follows: Where the contract price
does not exceed $1,000, credit will be
given Of SO per cent of the value of
the improvement but not to exceed
so per cent of the total price; on con-
tracts of ST, 900 to 1000 credit of 40
per cent is given, on contracts of
So, 900 to SO, 200, 80 per cent, and on
larger contracts Is per cent. If both
state and federal governments had
adopted some such plan in the early
days, we would now have more pros
porous homes and less possessors of
unearned millions.

SILO FORMS LOANED TO
WISCONSIN FARMERS

To meet the big demand among far
mers of Wisconsin for concrete silos,
the department of agricultural engi-
neering of the College of Agriculture
of the University of Wisconsin has
made seven sets of forms for building
concrete silos and is renting them to
farmers throughout the state The
college requires that at least three silos
shall be built in the locality in which
the forms are rented and price of $40
for each silo is charged. Prof. C. A.
Ocock, who has this work in charge,
estimates that there will be about IS
concrete silos constructed with these
forms this season.
The forms are located in the follow
ing places: Superior, Ashland, Wit
tenburg, Hortonville, Burlington,
Baraboo and Cottage Grove. The in
terest in this work is shown by the
large number of applications received
at the college. There are more appli-
cations now than can be filled this sea-
son. Prof. Ocock has just prepared a
bulletin on Concrete Silo Construction
in which he clearly explains how to
make the forms and the sios. This
bulletin will be ready for distribution
soon and those interested in the max
ing of silos should write for it to the
director of the experiment station,
Madison, Wis.
Five silos have already been COM
pleted by the use of these forms.
There is one at each of the following
towns: Portage, Baraboo, Horton
vile, South Milwaukee and Cottage
Grove. Several others are being COM
pleted. The first form was sent out in
March. In May there were four in the
field, in June five and in July seven.
