Records Tell Story

The records of the White Rose
Creamery company in this city
since organization tell some
interesting stories. From these
records it can readily be seer
who the farmers are that are
making money out of their cows
and also those who are onl y
keeping boarders upon the farm.
This story is told in the record
of the butter fat production as
is shown by the tests which are
made daily.
So far George Grant holds the
record for high test. The
record from Mr.. Grants COWS
has remained about the same
since they went unto green
pasturage. Others also have
high averages but so far Mr..
Grants COWS hold the record.
Some few farmers have COWS
which do not pay for themselves
and these should be gotten rid
of at the earliest opportunity.
The Washburn district is
rapidly getting into better COWS.
The farmers around Washburn
are an intelligent lot who
readily see the folly of keeping
poor COWS and these are being
replaced on many farms with
good grade stock while some
are even starting herds of pedi-
gree stock.
The White Rose Creamery in
this city is now a stock as
ISOLATION and many of the far
mers of the district are taking
stock in the institution. This
creamery is to be run for the
benefit of the farmers of the dis.
trict. The highest market price
will be paid for the cream and
the butter will be sold where it
will bring the highest market
price thus getting for the far
mer and stakeholder every cent
there is in it. The creamery in
this city has made a wonderful
growth. 1t has been a success
from the start and the numb Der
of patrons is rapidly increasing.
The creamery is proving great
thing toward buildingiup dairy
section and many of the patrons
of the institution are increasing
their herds for they know the
creamery will take all the cream
they can produce

A Battle Royal

grass on one side and clover or
on the other with Vice President
d. M. Maxcy of the bayfield,
County Bank acting as second
for the Glover is resulting in g
complete victory for the clover,
This battle has been waged
during the past seven or eight
years and has proven to be a
hard fought one, with the odds
all against the clover when the
battle started. Mr.. Maxcy was
the only person about town who
was willing to second the clover
in this mighty fight but as many
years have rolled by others
have wanted to come over to Mr..
Maxcy's side as the battle be-
came more even.
In other words the story is
this: Mr.. Maxcy owns q bunch
of lots located on Bayfield, street
near the Bayfield, County Bank.
For a number of years Mr..
Maxcy rented these lots out to
people who desired to plant
them. Green manure was used
upon the lots for fertilizer until
the lots became so full of quack
grass that nobody wanted to
plant them any longer. There
was nothing but quack grass to
be seen anywhere in the field
and this is when Mr.. Maxcy
determined to give the clover a
chance with the odds in favor of
the quack grass.
Each year. just before the
quack grass went to seed, Mr..
Maxcy ordered it cut and this
had been followed year after
year. The clover seed which
had blown in from the road side
began to grow and this was
allowed to 60 to seed after the
first cutting. After the first
season there was quite a
sprinkling of clover about the
field and Mr.. Maxcy began to
tell his friends about it, saying
that he was going to let the
clover kill the quack grass. His
friends laughed at his remarks
for they believed he had started
to try the impossible"
A few years back Mr.. Maxcy
invited the writer to come and
see his field after the hay had
been cut and of course he told
US his story. We made an
article out of it and nearly every
one who read it gave us the
laugh for even considering be-
lieving that this could be done.
Although we published the
article we had our doubts about
Mr.. Maxcy test but determined
to see the battle out. Each
year we have gone out to see
this field after the hay has been
cut and to our surprise the
clover was getting the better of
the fight.
On Monday Mr.. Maxcy cut
the field for this season and we
again made our annual visit and
imagine our surprise to find that
the clover had practically routed
out the quack grass. In the
center of the field where the
clover has had half chance
there is but a spear of quack
grass to be found here and there
but along the edges of the field
it is a little thicker and this is
explained by the fact that new
seed is each year blown in from
the roadside.
Mr.. Maxcy says clover is the
worst weed this country has
and be adds sit is a mighty good
weed"
