COUNCIL REFUSES TO RAISE
COUNTY TAX RATE 6 CENTS

After the board of county commits
sioners had practically assured an in
crease of four cents in the county tax
or six cents in the road tax, the coun-
ty council today refused to consider
such proposition and decided that
bridge improvements for next year will
be cut to less than $4,000. The coun-
Gil members at the session today
unanimously passed a resolution APP
propriating from the south side bridge
fund $15,437.60 for bridge improve
ments which are to- be considered as
in advance for next year.
Members discussed bridge improve
ments today at length and finally cut
the S19,500 list submitted by the COM
missioners to a trifle more than $751;
900, necessitating the two days ses-
sion.
Among the improvements denied
was the Smith bridge over -Elkhorn,
for which Albert Anderson, commits
sioner from the Eastern district, put
up strenuous fight The $4,000 ap-
preparation was killed, however, only
on the consideration that it be the
first bridge to be taken up next year.
The following is the list:
Improvements Allowed.
McGreW bridge IN washington
township, biggest county bridge in
Wayne county, washed out by flood.
New span, recovery of old span and
new abutments. cost, $4,000. Passed
by vote of five to two, Councilmen
Druley and knipe voting against it,,
and Councilmen Hampton, Robinson,
Worl Seidel and Hoover voting for it.
Smith bridge in Wayne township
No bridge exists across Elkhorn at
this point, and concrete arch was
asked This bridge is assured for next
year. but the appropriation or $4,000
was lost, every councilman voting
against it.
State line bridge northwest Of Mid
dleborOugh. The bridge there now
was partially washed out two months
ago. Cost of repairs. $40, passed.
Grace bridge, the last of the flood
bridges, located near Olive Hill on
Greensboro road, cost, $1,000. passed,
Doddridge fill in Washington town
ship. A bridge was built there last
year, but is standing idle because We
hicles can not approach it. County
Bridge Engineer Mueller suggested
that gravel from the river bottom be
used, benefiting the river and making
the bridge, approachable. However.
after considerable discussion, six of
seven votes were cast against the
$3.50 additional improvement
Balance swinging bridge fill, cost,
$141.60, additional appropriation, al
lowed.

The county now has on hands
debt of $4S,43 90, which is to be paid
entirely by December, 1915. An addi
uOnal bridge repair tax was added
last year to raise money for the first
installment, which is $1,000, payable
in September. The second install
ment of $1,000 will be paid next De-
cember, and the remainder of the $685.
600 loan of last year will be paid in
June, 1915. The S15,400 borrowed to-
day will be the last installment paid,
due in December, 1915.
The flood of March. 1913, has now
cost the county, or will have cost the
county when the debt is repaid, a to-
tai of $4,000. When the improve
ments now assured are completed, the

will have been removed.
Lose S5UU interest,".
The south side bridge fund of sos 900
now contains actually $4,000, the re-
mainder having been borrowed for the
brigade repair work. The county will
lose less than $500 in interest
through the loans.
Members of the council refused to
consider the transfer of funds in the
event it would mean an increase in
taxes. The councilmen were unan
imously in favor of considering the
improvements as "advance' improve
ments rather than "ad6itional' i'm
provements.
With the Smith bridge costing So
600 promised by the council and COM
missioners, only $4,000 will remain
with which to do all bridge repair
work in 1915. Ordinarily 10000. the
amount the commissioners anticipate,
is considered much less than is re-
quired.
There are many bridges in the coun-
ty which are in need of repair, as well
as many places where bridges are
needed These will not wait until 1916.
County Bridge Examiner Mueller, who
has drawn plans for all the bridge i'm
rrovements, recommended in the list
4turday, urged the councilmen to
pass the entire list, as each item is one
absolute necessity. The two items
lost however, were killed by the coun-
cilmen only on the consideration that
they be the first ones taken up next
year.

Some used both lime and innoculation,
some one and not the other and some
neither.
Those who used both had the best
stand and color and those who used
either had better stands than those
who used neither. 1t is apparent from
the experiences of people all over the
state that innoculation is generally
necessary and that lime applications
will. make a better stand or at least a
mere vigorous growth.

NORTHERN WISCONSIN FARMER
HAS BIG ADVANTAGE
OVER IRRIGATION FARMER

The people of the middle west never
think Of the matter of buying water
with which - grow crops. Out in the
arid districts the farmers have to buy
water for irrigation. They pay as high
as $50 and $50 per acre for water right.
then they pay an annual fee for main
tenance of the dams and bitches, then
they pay men for spreading the water
over the land in crops-tha is If they
have more land in crops than they can
water themselves.
>Phe amount of land that a farmer
can handle under irrigation is esti-
mated = the irrigation bureau at from
40 to 80 acres. The authorities are
not very definite on this point. Diree-
tor Newell of that bureau says in an
article in the Smithsonian Institute re-
port of 1910 that: Few men can han
die successfully over so acres of irriga-
ted land, especially with nigh priced
water. The general reader will won
der why it matters whether the water
is thigh priced or not. 1t would seem
that if the use of high priced water
were profitable on so acres it would be
equally profitable on larger acreage.
The fact is that high priced water
requires the production of special crops
that require SO much labor that large
acreage cannot be successfully han
died. In other words, if you buy high
priced water you cannot farm in the
ordinary manner but must be a spec
ialist producing hazardous crops.
To handle these special crops the
farmer must combine with others and
deal with distant markets through a
manager who may or may not he non
est and who may or may not be sue
cessful. He must take chance on
getting something from the crop or
seeing it perish enroute. In fact he
becomes a Speculation.
In Wisconsin we don't have to buy
water-Mother Nature supplies it in
ample quantity, and we don't have to
speculate in perishable crops and
doubtful market.
Another paragraph in Director New
ellis article will be interesting to Wis
consin farmers This awakening to
the fact that irrigation has it's thorny
side sometimes comes as a startling
shock, sufficient to discourage all but
the most enthusiastic or persistent,
and the more faint hearted seek for the
promised land. Those who remain
soon learn that success must be pre-
ceeded by subduing the sail. getting it
into good condition of filth, supply
iug the necessary nitrates and perhaps
the phosophates. applying water day
or night, and perhaps all night, wad-
ing around in the mud, or enduring

HOW TO FEED COWS
FOR MILK PRODUCTION

Give the cow a chance and before
you consign her to the butchers block
be certain you are providing her with
liberal allowances of the feeds which
are good for milk and butter fat pro-
ductior,
This is the plea which #. G, Sweboda,
agricultural representative for Lang
lade county is making to save many
alleged ''boarders. 2
"The big lesson, he says, (which is
to be learned from the long list of 40
pound COWS lately published by various
COW testing associations is that most
cows will produce if given a chance.
When turned on our luxuriant north
ern grasses in mid-May they immedi-
ately respond at the milk pail. Old
mixers, new mixers and mixers in
every other period of lactation then
come forward with larger flow,
THE reason is not hard to fnd,-
sucoulent fresh grass, mixed with
clover perchsnoe, offers practically a
balanced ration. That is what the
animals system Graves and, adequately
supplied, the faithful COW expresses
her appreciation by filling the milk
bucket.

The death of the old is inevitable and

WISCONSIN WINS IN
SEED GRAIN CONTEST

In competition opea to the world
Wisconsin again has scored heavily
with her pure bred seed grains. Word
received tc day by the Roard of Immi-
grafton states that FL. E. Kruger OF
Beaver Dam has been awarded $3.50 in
prizes for grains entered at the Inter
national Dry Farming and Exposition
recently held in Wichita, Kansas, al
this contest winning first and second
premiums on wheat including a sweep
stake; two firsts on white and yellow
oats including a second premium
sweepstake, and two first premiums
of $3.50 each for the best two.rowed and
slx-rowed varities of barley.
For eight successive years Mr.. Krue-
ger has won worlds sweepstake prem
iums with Wisconsin barley. This is
a handsome showing unapproached by
any other state 1t is also significant
that acre for acre Wisconsin outpro-
duces the dry-farming regions by fifty
percent and doesso consistently with
out the discouraging element of crop
failure or profft-eating freight charges.
Equally impressive is the fact that
these pure bred grains reward the
grower with additional recompense be-
cause of their seed value. And still each
year the demand greatly exceeds the
store in Wisconsin granaries.
