seven-tenths of bushel per acre less
than that average of the state, but it
is 21 bushels more than the averaeg

of II states, eleven of which are the

the best farm practice, they can
equal the 50 bushels per acre which
is the average of the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural Experiment association.
In rye you have an average of 90
bushels per acre. The average for the
United States for the same year was
16.1 bushels per acre. Your average
exceeded that of every division into
which the Year Book divides the
United States and exceeds the aver
age Of 81 states. Your average was
more than double that of the South
Atlantic states, was 40 per cent more
than the average of the division com
prising the states of Ohio, Indiana
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, and
was more than double that of the
south central states.
In corn you have an average of 80.
bushels per acre. You exceed the av-
erage of four of the yearbook's divis-
ion of states and come within seven
tenths of a bushel of reaching another
that used larger amount of COM
mercial fertilizer. It is noteworthy
that the south Atlantic states average
1875 bushels per acre, the south cen
trail 1873 and the north central west
of the Mississippi 26.7 bushels. You
exceeded the average of 33 states. 1t
looks as if you have moved into the
corn belt
Your average in potatoes is 1877
bushels to the acre, while the aver
age of the state was 112 bushels and
that of the United states was 106
bushels. Your average was greater
than that of five of the six Yearbook
divisions and greater than that of 35
states Again commercial fertilizer

all that caused any state to lead you

was greater than the value of the

Secretary of Agriculture, in his last
report, just out, points out that trou-

RUSk CENSUS RETURNS
ANALYSIS OF 1910 CENSUS AS AP-
Piled TO THIS COUNTY.
LEADS STATE AND NATION IN YIELD
People Who Live in Rusk County
Have Wonderful Oppor-
tunites.

IA Letter From a Former Lady
smith Resident, A. D. Campbell to c.
X. Eliingson, of Hawkins, who kind
ly furnished it to the News-Budget
for pubIication.l
Dear Sir: ir:-Responding to your re-
quest for an analysis of the 1910
census returns as applying to Rusk
county, will say that | have gone
through the bulletin on Wisconsin
and such others as have come out.
AS not enough of the state bulletins
are yet out to get a complete COM
parison l am using the Yearbook as
to the other states, but it is approx
imately correct and will not material
ly affect the conclusions.
/ find that in wheat your county is
credited with yield of 1913 bushels
per acre, while the average of the
state for the same year 1909 was
1873 bushels and that of the United
states was 1873 bushels. Your aver
age was greater than five of the six
divisions into which the Yearbook
divides the United States. In saving
the immense cost of irrigation water
and the labor of irrigation, your
profits would be greater than that
of the irrigation states, whose aver
age was 229 bushels. 1t will doubt
less be surprise to you and to the
people of your country (my county,
by the way) that with all the crow
ing of the irrigation people, their
average on wheat exceeded by only
3 to bushels per acre 1t is worth
while to stop a moment and look in
to this matter. Water under the ir-
rigation projects Of the U. S. Gov
to $65 per acre (and they are talk
ing of making it SIS per acre. An
nual maintenance runs upward of a
dollar an acre and no one knows where
it may go. 1t is easy to see that
the little increased yield on the ir-
rigation land is wiped out in interest
on the additional investment before
they get to the labor of irrigating-
with a hoe and rubber boots and
cusswords | may add that your av-
erage exceeds that of % states, in
Guiding all the midwestern states
where land ranges in price from 500
to $500 per acre.
In oats you are credited with an
average yield of 34S bushels per
acre. This exceeds the yield of the
state by almost two bushels per
acre, and exceeds that of the United
States by Az bushels per acre. You
exceed the average of five of the six
divisions into which the Yearbook di
vides the country, more than double
that of three states, almost double
that of two states, exceed by more
than fifty per cent that of six
other states, exceed by more than
33 1-3 per cent that Of 19 states and

A MINISTER'S LAPSE.

The sad lapse of well known In
diana minister from the straight and
narrow path while attending a fam
Gus conference will doubtless bring
more unjust condemnation from I'M
thinking people against the clergy
in general. Perhaps the strongest
ground for this is due to statements
made by the indiscreet preacher
himself who to his brethren said:
Let him who Is without sin among
you cast the first stone" The impli-
cation in this statement to his fell
low-clergymen is most shocking for
people cannot be blamed in thinking
of this particular offending minis
ter's personal sin in connection with
his warning to his fellows. How
ever 1t is not for the world to pass

That a man is EDUCATED who.
without regard to college walls or
courses of study, has providently stored
away little learning every day, until
at length, after many years, the total
has become a source of qualification

That man is GOOD who, day after
day, has followed in the footsteps of
the Perfect Eample, until the desire
for what is pure and good has become

How many rich men today go their
stGrts by sudden streaks of luck ?
Not many. AS for the rest, their be-
ginnings were so humble as not to be
perceptible save to the trained eyes
of those who know the symptoms of
aconomy when they see them.
The most marked symptoms of
economy are the cutting of the wisdom
teeth and a sort OF synadctylism that
closes up forever the cracks between
the fingers.
The next time you hear some sallow.
exhausted, debilitated fellow who has
thrown away all the opportunities OF
his life, complain about the UNKIND-
NESS OF PROVIDENCE, and specu-
late upon somebody else's STREAK
OF LUCK, take him back a few years
in memory, and ask him what he did
with that FIRST s. he earned; inquire
whether his EXPENSES increased
every time he got an increase in sal
sry, and interrogate him sharply on
the price of stylish trousers and livery
hire in Year of Our Lord 1880. That
may give you both a clew to the situa-
ton.
A MANS OWN RESOLUTION has
more to do with his store of money or
of brains than fools imagine. And
good luck is simply another name for
industry and common sense.
