SEED & STOCK
RUSK COUNTY ORGANIZATION
DOING GOOD WORK WITH
THAT AIM IN VIEW
HAS ACCOMPLISHED MUCH GOOD
Conrath Commercial Club is Benefit.
ting Farmers in Many
Ways
BY James Farley

The Conrath Commercial Club has
but it has put us (the farmers trib-
utary) in communication with the
breeders Of pure-bred cattle and with
those who are growing and handling
only pure-bred seed, Of all kinds.
This being the case, why not make
Rusk County one in which none but
pure-bred seed can be bought. This
can be done and done easily. With
their usual foresight, the Faast Land
Co. is now preparing to have pure
bred seed Of all kinds on hand at
planting time, and not only on hand
but they will furnish reliable far
mers with all the seed which they
may require. and take their pay when
the crop is sold in the fal. There is,
therefore, no possible excuse for far
mers to plant scrub seed.
1t has been argued that it is folly
to trouble with pure-bred seed when
We can get as many bushels to the
acre from mixed varieties. This is
an argfment that should be hit with
a club. While it may be true as to
the yield per acre, it certainly is not
true as to the net cash returns. This
was proven last season when mixed
varieties of potatoes were selling at
80 cents per bushel. The crop from
pure-bred seed brought so cents per
bushel.
Just think of tin the potato crop
alone-if you harvest but 200 bush
els per acre Ca low estimate) you
make more than the original price
Of your land over and above that
which you got for your mixed varie-
ties. This without any extra labor.
Ponder. on it, brother farmer, you
have two months to do so. Then
plant to produce seed.
The whole potato country is cry
ing for seed, but cannot get it. Then
put forth your best effort to supply
the demand, which will be greater
next fall than it is now
There are other reasons why we
should grow only pure-bred seed,
which will appear from time to time
The time of the next meeting of
the Club will be taken up, largely, in
discussing The Potato, It's Culture
and General Handling The Ques-
ton of how to get the pure-bred seed
to the planter is likely to come up,
also.
general invitation is extended
to all. Whether a member or not,
you will be welcome. AS this is to
be an experience meeting to dis
cuss the potato, we want everyone to
take part in the discussion and give
us what his experience has been.

LIGHTNING

The season of probable electric
storms is close at hand, so we send
out this warning to rod buildings.
Absolute immunity from lightning
danger is practically unattainable
On this men of science agree. They
also agree, and experience has dem
onstrated that good lightning rod
is a great protection.
When the electric discharge comes
from a single cloud to the earth it
will seek out a lightning rod. When
the electric energy is stored in two
or more clouds the upper clouds over
flow into the lower and this to the
earth. resulting not in one lightning
bolt. but in a veritable deluge. of
electricity. With this the ordinary
lightning rod system cannot cope.
Experience also teaches us, that
the chances of being struck are
much greater in the country than in
the city. This greater immunity il.
cities is due to the network Of elec-
tric light and power and telephone
wires. buildings constructed of iron
and iron roofs.
So there is special need for the
lightning rod on country buildings
Two years ago this department sent
out inquises to the secretaries nf all
Farmers Mutual Insurance Compan-
les of the state, calling for the total
lightning loss and comparison OF
losses on buildings protected with
those not rodded. Their replies fur
ADnish a powerful argument in favor
the lightning rod One secretary
= thirty-threa years experience as
och stated that his company never
N stained L less on a building which
as properly rodded. This was the
s%sSp neral tenor of the replies of all.
= Mr.. Herman Pfund, of Madison, Sec
retary of the German Evangelical
Lutheran Fire Insurance Association,
In bulletin just issued, states that
the records of his office from 1905
to 1912 show 105 lightning losses on
churches with a total damage of
S15.667.l9, and II lightning losses
on other parish property with dam
age of $42696 Speaking from his
experience he recommends the rod
ding of all buildings, especially chur-
ches. whose tall spires and gilded
Airon crosses seem to invite the light
49,. TO strike.
We strongly recommend the rod
ing of buildings A strong cable
~ pade of a bundle of copper wires is
asetter than the solid rod. We fur
#tber recommend a deep grounding in
permanently damp earth.
We do not and cannot suggest any
particular make of rod. There are
several good makes.
The day of the lightning rod
shark" is past, fortunately, and both
the manufacturing and selling is done
in a more honest manner than for
merly In many cases you can OBJ
tain the best from your local hard
ware dealer, at a fair price, and with
it get the guarantee that comes from
the business honor of a man
you know.
The expense is small when com
pared to the danger to both property
and lives, and the actual loss oi
both due to lightning.
Do not wait until the lightning
strikes to rod your buildings. DC
