University Experts Claim
That Much Grain Is VAST
ed in Wisconsin Now.
STACKED GRAIN PROFITABLE

Fully ten per cent of the value of
the Wisconsin grain crop is lost each
year because a large number of farm
ers persist in the wasteful practice of
threshing from the Shock
This is the statement of R. A.
Moore, head of the agronomy depart.
ment of the college of agriculture,
University of Wisconsin. AS secretary
of the State Agricultural Experiment
Association Mr.. Moore is familiar with
farming conditions throughout the
state and makes this assertion from per-
sonaI observation and experience.
When we consider the advance that
has been made in this state in breeding
pure-bred seeds, it is astonishing to see
the large amount of inferior grain that
goes on the market. Up until harvest
time Wisconsin grain is as good as any
that can be produced, but after it is
cut some farmers allow it to deteriorate
through lack of proper care. After a
reasonable drying in the shock, grain
should be put into barns or stacks,
even though the initial cost is a little
more than leaving it in the shock and
threshing from the field.
MoldJ and musty grain is the most
serious evil resulting from leaving
grain in the shocks. Farmers often
have difficulty in getting a threshing
machine at the desired time and when
one does come they feel obliged to use
1t regardless of the condition of their
grain. Thus it often happens that the
grain is threshed when it is wet or dur
ing rain, and then put into bins while
still damp, where it is almost sure to
mold. Again, farmer may not be able
to get a thresher for months. In the
meantime his grain gets wet and lies
IN the shocks until it begins to grow
becomes at times a total loss.
Among other elements of loss which
enter IN when grain is left in the shock
are birds, mice and floods, all levying a
tax on the harvest that is an import
ant factor in determining the farm
er's loss or gain.
ION the other hand, when grain is
protected by storage in barns or stacks
it goes through the natural sweating
processes and will not heat and get
musty if stored in bins after thresh
ing. Grain should usually remain
in the stacks for three or four weeks
before threshing to be in the best con
dition for marketing or storage.

Louis Samler of Wheatland
Asks Arrest of Deputy
Adolph Ganswindt.
TROUBLE OVER pROpERTYL|NEs

Declaring that an effort was being
made to interfere with an official of
the United States government in the
performance of his duties, Louis Sam
Ter, well known man of the town of
Wheatland, who for many years has
served Uncle Sam in carrying the mails
from Powers Lake to Bassett Is Station,
appealed to the clerk of the municipal
court this morning for the issuance of
a warrant fo1 the arrest of Adolph
Ganswindt, deputy sheriff in the
town of Wheatland. Samler appeared
to be greatly excited and declared that
following an alteration between him
self and the deputy sheriff on Tuesday
afternoon Ganswindt had drawn a re-
volver on him. Samler did not seem to
be greatly annoyed over possible con-
sequences to himself, but he insisted
that threats of Ganswindt would inter
fere with his performing his services
for the government. He appeared to
fear that Ganswindt would do him
bodily injury. Clerk Tully of the NUM-
cipal court declined to issue a war
rant without formal complaint be-
ing fled and Samler was ordered to
take the matter up with the district
attorney and return to the court. The
district attorney was out of the city,
but Samler declared that he would stay
right here until after he secured war
rant for the arrest of the Wheatland
deputy. 1t is said that the trouble be-
tween the two men grew out of con-
test as to land lines and it is pretty
certain that the matter will have to
be threshed out in both the criminal
and civil courts of the county. Cans
windt has been prominent in the affairs
of the western part of the county for
years and he has held a number of
town and county Offices.

AUTOS FOR RURAL MAILMEN.
Kenosha County Carriers to be in Line
for Equipment if Plan is Adopted.

Kenosha county rural mail carriers
may all be using government automo
biles on their routes inside of a year
if the plans of Postmaster General
Burleson are perfected. The proposed
reorganization would mean an early
change in Wisconsin and other states
of the middle west.
1t will become effective within The
next twelve months if congress enacts
a bill recommended by the postmaster
general. This bill provides for the use
of automobiles on rural routes in al
state that have roads adapted to the use
of such vehicles. It provides for radi
cal change in the rural free delivery
system.
Under present conditions the length
of the standard route is twenty-foul
miles and the maximum compensation
paid carriers is $1,000 a year. The
postmaster general proposes to in
crease the length of the route where
conditions are favorable to fifty miles
and on such routes carriers will be
paid salary of $1,000 a year.
The postmaster general is of the
opinion that in some instances it may
be found desirable to have routes fifty
miles in length on straight line. On
such routes he would have the car
riers deliver and collect on the out.
ward trip, remaining over night al
the terminus of the route, and deliver
and collect on the return journey the
following day.
In planning the introduction of au
tomobiles the postmaster general is
striving to effect economies. There are
at present four thousand routes in
operation throughout the United States
1t costs approximately $46,ooo,O00 a
year to maintain them.
The use of automobiles would render
unnecessary the employment of one car.
rier on practically every route. Just
how many carriers would be laid of
under the new system has not yet
been figured out.

COUNCIL TO GET TWO REPORTS
Members of the School Board Decide
Not to Cut the Budget and They Will
Appear Before Council to Urge Full
Amount When Matter Is Taken up.

School finances were discussed more
than three hours by the members of the
finance committee of the council and
the board of education at meeting
held at the office of the superintendent
of schools on Tuesday evening and at
the end of the discussion, while the
best of feeling prevailed, no agreement
had been reached which provided for
any reduction in the amount of the
budget for the school board for next
year. The budget as originally prepar-
ed by the board of education commit
tee asking the council for little over
$140,000 will go to the council on next
Monday evening. Later on the matter
will be taken up by the finance COM
mittee of the council and it will file a
counter report fixing the amount for
schools at about $125,000.
It is declared by the members of the
council committee that it seems to be
impossible to reduced the budget below
$125,000 and this is $25, 1000 more than
the schools received from the last tax
levy.
The committees in session discussed
many questions of school expense as
provided by the budget and the only
item that they found subject to any
great cut was the item of $4,000 for
supplies. Members of the board admit
ted that this item might be slightly
reduced without Gripping the work of
the schools. The big item of teachers
salaries is one that is difficult of re-
duction. The finance committee of the
board estimates that an even hundred
thousand dollars will be needed to pay
the teachers during the coming year.
1t is declared that this estimate is not
subject to any considerable reduction.
The teachers have been hired for the
new year and the money will be actu-
ally needed to pay them their wages.
AS in other years the question of the
so-called "overdraft' was discussed at
length by the members of the two
boards. The board of education holds
that the shortage in current funds is an
overdraft carried over from year to
year and the members of the board are
anxious to get this wiped out and per-
nit the board to start with a clean
slate. Ten thousand dollars of the pres
ent budget is for the so called over
draft. The council committee objected
strenuously to granting this amount as
it was held that many funds of the city
were overdrawn and these funds are
forced to carry over this deficit from
year to year.
There will be some slight increase in
the receipts of the board from the state
school fund during the coming year on
account Of the increase in the number
of school children in the city, but the
amount received from the state does
not in any way meet the cost of edu-
cation per capita in Kenosha,

OF Justice Horace III. Lurton, by the
executive committee of the Wisconsin
State Bar Association, which met in
the Offices of Christian Doerf1er, presi-
dent of the association, in Milwaukee.
The resolution signed by the commit
tee, which will be sent to Washington
asking President Wilson to consider the

follows:
Whereas, On account of the death
of the Hon. Horace H. Lurton, late
associate justice of the supreme court
of the United States, it will devolve
upon his excellency, the president of
the United States, to nominate his
successor.

committee of the Wisconsin State Bar
Association, for and in it's behalf,
recommend for that important judicial
position the Hon. John B. Winslow, the
present chief justice of the supreme

SUFFERS SEVERE INJURY.
Rev. II. j. Dahlstrom, Formerly of Ke.
nosha, Meets Accident in Racine.

Rev. H. ]. Dahlstrom, of 300 Cliff
avenue, Racine, a superannuated min
lister in the United Danish Lutheran
church, and for number of years pas
tor of the Danish Lutheran church in
Kenosha, had the misfortune, last
night, to stumble on the stairs lead
ing to his bath room and break his
right arm in the fall. The fracture was
of such a nature that it required an
X-Ray examination to locate the break,
which was close to the shoulder blade
and is consequently hard to bandage.
The accident is considered serious par
ticularly on account of the advanced
age of the minister, who passed his
seventy ninth birthday only three
weeks ago.
