Dairy Industry Makes Wisconsin Prosperous

Creameries will do for this country
what they have for Wisconsin, and
they have brought permanent prosper
ity to Wisconsin. E. v. Kavanaugh,
who is farming near Orofino, formerly
resided in the village of Clearlake, a
place smaller than Orofno, and 'the
deadest place on earth," as Mr.. Kav-
anaugh puts it. Two attempts to es-
tablish creameries fell through, i. e.,
two creameries were started and went
broke. Then came the third, CO.
operative concern and it prospered.
Creameries sprang up all over the
state. Today Wisconsin ranks first in
the creamery line in the United
States. What of this village of Clear
lake? The last figures Mr.. kava-
naugh has is for 1918, when the Clear
lake creamery paid out $23, 900 for
cream for the month of June. The
people emerged from poverty and hard
times to wealth and prosperity. Wis

Diversified Farming Good Business Proposition


A. E. Wade, county agriculturalist
of Lewis county, contributes the fol-
lowing on Diversified Farming:
Some people have the idea that di-
versifed farming means the cutting
up of these beautiful grain fields into
five, ten or twenty acre lots, putting
a family on each lot and raising a
little bit of everything and not much
of anything. But this is far from the
true meaning. Diversified farming
simply means that type of farming
that produces more than one cash crop.
For instance if we have enough hogs
to bring in any considerable amount
of revenue we are carrying on diver
sified farming, and if we adj another
crop such as clover seed, beans, corn
or potatoes, we have still more di-
versitied system.
Diversification and rotation go hand
in hand, for when we have any extent
of diversification we will always have
a more or less well defined system of
rotation. In fact, it is the need of n
system of rotation that brings about
diversification. European farmers
learned about thousand years ago
that rotation were necessary in order
to continue the production of maxi
mum yields. In any country that fol-
lows grain production anything like
exclusively, means must necessarily
be employed to keep up the fertility of
the soil. or abandonment is sure to
follow. The soil was very fertile
when cultivation began and much is
still fertile but you cannot expect to
take wagon loads Of fertility from the
soil every year and, putting nothing
back, still maintain a fertile soil.
Grain farming is the most exhausting
on the soil of any class of farming
and it takes fertile soil to hold up
under it for any length Of sine. But
by raising leguminous crops to re-
place the depleted supply of nitrogen
and humus and the addition of what.
ever other of the fertilizing elements
the soil may need in order to keep uE
the balance necessary for the produc,

With view to opening this street
the citizens partly filled the center

spring, and at a special meeting of
the village council this week Viii
lage Marshal Frensdorf was instruc-
ted to employ crew and complete
rocking and graveling the road pre-
paratory to receiving the ciiders.
The street commissioner has been
hustling the work this week, and the
road, long needed, will soon be open
for traffic.
May we call a tention to this as a
sample of what may be accomplished
when the citizens, united through a
Commercial Club, deyote time and
energy to matters of general benefit
to the whole community.

Pulling Together Will Always Get Results

= /" The Orofino Commercial Club has
begun to get results of a very SUBJ
stantial nature, which should tend to
convince everybody of the value and
usefulness of such an organization in
the town. Several months ago Pres
ident F. Elliott Smith turned his at
tention to the street in front of the J
d. and P. H. Blake properties, and
P. L. Orcutt was given the job of
getting the Northern Pacific railway
company to assist in putting the road,
which runs along their track all the
distance, in condition for traffic.
After the case was explained to Cen
eral Superintendent DeForce of Spo-
kane, the committee received notice
this week to prepare to receive five
carloads of cinders for top dressing of
this block, one of the worst pieces of

Good Prospect Looms for OrofinO Creamery

Orotino has good prospects for a
creamery. The Commercial Club has
received information to the effect that
practical creamery man has the
matter under consideration. provided

is PLANNED to have ali farmers Of this
section attend, not only those directly
interested in a creamery, but those
interested in the development Of the
county, since this convention will
bring out many valuable facts that
should benefit all.
1t is the purpose of the Commercial

the social session last week, to gather

all possible data bearing on a cream
cry the most important just now be-
ing census showing the number of
available cows that may be counted
on to supply the, necessary cream for
the proposed plant.
1t is hardly probably there is now
sufficient COWS, but this is not serious
since cows can be quickly acquired at
this time in outside markets and
shipped il if the farmers really want
a creamery established in Oroiino.
The prospects We're never quite 50
promising. If our farmers who have
been talking creamery are really in
earnest, how is their opportunity.
Kendrick has recently made the ven
ture, and reports are most assuring.
1t Is a cooperative affair and is beat
ing all expectations. If anything is
done here think of nothing but a CO.
operative plant. Private creameries
will not succeed.

tion of maximum crop, you may be
able to farm the land indefinitely and
obtain reasonable returns.
The different branches of diversifi-
cation must be selected with judgment
and discretion so they will fit into
your particular conditions without
friction and undue labor and expense
so the waste from one will be TODD
for the other and your income will be
more evenly distributed all through
the season, this bringing about more
even distribution of labor and is, in a
great measure, insurance against crop
failure.

nent wealth-it has made it possible
and necessary to enrich the soil and
has resulted in better crops. Why
not in Clearwater county?
The business men of Clearlake didn t
stop with creamery. They got be-
hind cannery, and they made it go.
1t is the exception there to find bus

Cottonwood Farmers Find That Silos Paw

Camas Prairie Chronicle: Mr.. J.
b. Luchtefeld. who resides north of
town, opened his silo recently and is
already quoting some interesting fig
ures to prove the value of a silo to
the farmers of this section. Mr..
Luchtefeld erected silo last summer
and filled it with green oats for
silage. After opening it this fall he
began feeding the silage to his milk
cows and nbted big increase in milk
and cream production, 4 almost at once.
At the time he was milking five cows,
three of which were milked twice
daily and two once day. Before
starting to feed them silage he was
getting l6 pounds of cream week
from the cows and the first week after
they were fed the silage ration the
cream totaled % pounds Mr.. Luchte-
field says the increase was due entirely
to the use of silage and this first ex-

Had the county board, Messrs Zeenka Torgerson

some mills last year 1914 to pay for warrant indebted

satisfaction that he cannot farm in

before it was made a part of their

Five of the farmers of this section
put up silos during the past summer,
B. Luchtefe,d filling his with clover,
W. V. Hussman using corn, James
Wright using field peas, Herman Han
son using peas and oat hay, and j. B.

will be watched with interest and
there is little doubt but that numer-

Comparative Statement

The following figures, taken from the
Clearwater County records, speak for them
selves, and are Solar Plexus blow that will
put the defenders of Gang Indebtedness
down and out for all time. 1t shows, beyond
the possibility of doubt, that Assessor A. E.
Hinckley republican, has given the timber
companies a relatively higher assessment
than any other assessor this county has ever
had, and that the REPUBLICAN officials of
Clearwater County are doing the square
thing by the people. In the light of these
FACTS where is the ground for any man
charging that the present county officials are
climber TOOLS?" The fact is lot of
Irresponsible blatant, slander -mongrels,
without one scrap of proof, without any in
vestigation, without knowing what they
are talking about, have been going about
SLANDERING the most competent officials
Clearwater County ever had.
The people are indebted to gang rule,
with its incompetenCy, extravaganza and
graft, for the present dose of HIGH TAXES.
Now be fair Place the responsibility where
it belongs. Following table from the official
records, that no man can dispute and that
even FOOL may verify, should end the
campaign of studied falsehood:
