To Celebrate Golden Ami
versary Saturday
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Legacy
to Celebrate Half Century
of Married Life.

Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Legacy
|pioneer residents of this city
who are now residing on THEN
farm in the town of Bayview
will celebrate the 50th anniver-
sary of their marriage on Satur-
day evening of this week. In
vitations for the celebration have
been issued to more than 1OC
friends and neighbors of the
couple and the occasion is to be
made one for a big time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Legacy
were married at .Bathers, N. B.,
Canada, October End, 1865. Mr..
and Mrs. Legacy came to Wash
burn 81 years. being one of the
first settlers. Mr.. Legacy can
well be counted a pioneer in this
region for he was one of the first
settlers to take up land and to
begin to hew out a home among
the stumps and brush. Mr..
Legacy began farming twenty
five years ago and during the
course of a quarter of a century
has opened up a fine farm which
is now being farmed by his
children. Near where Mr.. Lega-
cy's farm is now located twenty
five years ago stood giant pine
trees which have long since been
cut. Mr.. Legacy's farm is now
surrounded by fine farms which
were opened up in later years by
people who were given encour-
agement by the pioneer settler.
Mr.. and Mrs. Legacy are both
in their 72nd year and both are
hale and hearty. Unto the union
twelve children have been born,
nine boys and three girls. There
is now living six boys and two
girls to join with their parents
in celebrating their golden we'd
ding.

Change in City Attracting
State Wide Attention
Wisconsin Press Association
Weekly Has Nice Write
up on this City.

The Press sheet issued weekly
by the Wisconsin Advancement
Association has nice little
article about the city OF
IWashburn in it's latest issue
The article is well worth re.
printing and is as follows:
The city of Washburn in Bay
field county, was in hard luck
for number of years. The
lumber industry gave out, and
agricultural development had
not been started-the people
there in common with those of
many other portions of the
upper country having thought
that when numbering was
through all would be over. So
about ten years ago a blight
struck the city. People moved
away, and times were hard,
buildings went to the bad, and
the city was an eye-sore.
Those of the people of the city
who were farseeing enough to
know that the country around
Washburn possessed agricultural
and orcharding value hard to
match anywhere stuck to their
guns and have won out. The
numbering industry in various
forms was somewhat revived,
settlers were secured for the
spleHaiako fa-:ru lands in the
vicinity, orchards were estab-
lished that now are rapidly
showing their worth. For
several years the city has been
coming back into it's own.
Recently the powder people
who have the plant near Was III
burn more than doubled the
capacity of the plant. Hundreds
of men were brought there and
they will stay. The city has
become hive of industry-and
it's permanence is now assured !
for the region is rapidly being
developed, which is of more con-
sequence than any single
industry.
All Wisconsin will be pleased
with Washburn's good fortune.
No city in America has a more
beautiful location. Situated on
a high, and ever rising base on
the shore of Chequamegon bay,
with the vast expanse of Lake
Superior decorated with the
beautiful Apostle Islands, with a
semi-clrcle of orchards for a
background, the city should be-
come a thing of beauty and a
joy forever-to Washburn peo-
pie.
But the lesson to be learned
from Washburn's resurrection
is a broad one. There are scores
of towns in Wisconsin that could
be wonderfully benefited by
more industries. There are
scores of villages in the water
power portions of the state that
are destined to become fine
cities. Many great cities, in the
sense that high average con-
ditions of citizens constitutes
greatness, already have been
built in that portion of the state.
Recently the Wausau Record
Herald published a partial list
of it's factories that reads like a
catalogue of industries. Wausau
is about as great a city as 20, 600
busy people can make, but it is
no greater than scores of villages
will grow into the water power
| portions of the state.

SOIL REGULATION
 MAKES GOOD YIELD
In Growing Legunes 1t Is Well to Know Whether Proper Bacteria Are Present in the Soil.

The beneficial effects of growing le, gumes on poor soils have been recog- ntzed from the earliest days of agri- cultural history. For this reason there has always been a tendency to grow legumes especially in older farming regions.
 Investigate Bacteria.
 In growing legumes it is always per tinent to know whether proper bac- teria are present in the soil so that the legume can take part of its supply of nitrogen from the air and not entirely from the soil. No one can tell this until the legume is tried By digging up the plant by the roots and washing the soil away with water the nodules, if present, can easily be found. If these are not present the leGume plant cannot take nitrogen from the air
 Methods of InocuIation.
 When growing certain legume on soil and especially in a community where it has never been grown there 10 always d Chance tildL artlnC1dl I1i- oculation may be necessary Two methods are commonly employed One is known as the soil transfer method. Here soil at the rate of 200 to 50O pounds to the acre is taken from an old field where the legume has been growing, and the bacteria are known to be present, and scatter over the field to be planted. With the other method pure cultures of the strain of bacteria suited to a certain legume are made. Such cultures are made by certain commercial concerns, or may be secured in limited quantities free of charge by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c. Although soil in- oculation is likely to be the more cer- tain, the pure cultures can be used to good advantage where inoculated soil cannot be secured.
