THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES

agricultural and Commercial Press Service1
It is interesting to watch the forces
Of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the TWEEN
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
fiict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver-
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting mil
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result Of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re-
treat, it's doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods Of this nation.
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic it's next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the un-
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-ive
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwood
Of defeat, and when rubber hurls it's
full force against this monarch Of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov.
cry.
The rubber tire first made it's ap-
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as utility ma
chine and it's reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, 1t is enchanting to note
that there will be marvellous differ.
ence between a rubber and an iron
age, The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why a city? 1t will traverse the con-
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. It will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?

The Alfacorn Dairy .

Much publicity has recently been
given to the Cornfalfa farms near
Waukesha. The name ''istens good, "
but another man near Evansville has
shown that he is up to snuff, if we
may use that term, by naming his
place the Alfacorn Dairy. That is not
slow.
And while on the subject let it be
added that all over the state the fact
is noted that as soon as farm is
named the owner becomes better
farmer, his yards and buildings show
mprovement-and usually the road is
dragged, and that means lot.

(By Fred L. Petty of Illinois in Milwaukee
Sentinel)
What future has northern Wisconsin
in reality? What will be the condition
of those vast areas of cutover land fl
led with stumps and overgrown with
brush ten or twenty years hence? Such
inquiries as these have come with in
sistsnt regularity since Wisconsin be-
gan to call to the attention of the
general public the possibilities of de-
veloping a profitable agriculture in
her great wild land areas.
Remembering the axiom about judg
ing the future by the past, visited
section in which agricultural settle
ment began twenty or thirty years ago,
upon the close of the lumber harvest,
and where rich farm community has
been formed out of stump covered,
brush covered territory. / wanted to
estimate by the progress in such
community what reasonably may be
expected of other Wisconsin commun-
tiles now undeveloped.
Predictions Are Verified.
More than twenty years ago, Dean
Henry of the Wisconsin college, and
far sighted men like Gov. Hoard, taxed
the credulity of southern Wisconsin
people by predicting that some day
great dairy section would develop in
central and northern Wisconsin which
would rival and surpass the prosper
GUS southern counties. If they wish 10
see the fulfllment Of their prophecies,
they should GO as did. to Marshfisld,
in Wood county, in the central part Of
the state. They should talk to the
business men, the bankers, the whole
sale shippers of dairy products and the
real estate dealers. They should take
an automobile ride over the territory
tributary to Marshfield and lying in
four different counties, look at the
crops, talk with the farmers, and see
for themselves that it is posslbl to
build prosperous farming country on
cutover hardwood land.
Glover grows rank and thick every
where. Along the roadside it thrives
to the exclusion of weeds. Clear awav
the trees and cut out the brush on
section of perfeo ly bare, wild land,
and at once clover creeps in and covers
the spot with rich, rank foliage.
White alsike and medium red are COM
mon varieties. Four tons of timothy
and clover to the acre is no unusual
crop.

think have never seen a commun
ity where the barns were so uniform
ly large and of such excellent construc-
ton. The big red barn on the Ameri-
can farm has always been a symbol
of prosperity. Northern Wisconsin is
today where central Wisconsin was
twenty years ago. It will not take an
equal length of time to develop similar
districts. Dynamite and stump pulling
machinery have robbed land clearing
of most of it's old terrors. 1t no longer
is a formidable operation, involving
years of hard work, to clear good
sized field, especially in the hardwoo d
districts. Cut the brush out one year,
SOW some clover and timothy on the
saow next spring, let the snow carry
it into the ground, and by midsummer
you have plenty of cow and sheep
pasture among the stumps. Craze this
for while, thereby deriving an i'm
mediate revenue from your wild land.

POOR MANS CATTLE"
SOLD TOLL. HILL.
Dexeter Herd, Formerly Owned
by Mrs. Clarence Moore,
Rare in United States.

The herd Of Dexeter cattle, formerly
owned by Mrs. Clarence Moore. whose
husband was lost on the Titanic. has
just been purchased by James J. Hill.
president Of the Great Northern rail-
way. and has been shipped to Glad
stone." his large estate near st. Paul,
MINI.
The sale was made by DR.. r. A.
Geddes. Of kensington. who purchased
the cattle originally in Ireland for
Clarence Moore. They were shipped
about the same time that MIR. Moore
sailed on the Inflated Titanic, and
made the voyage safely, while their
owner. who never saw them, was lost.
The herd was sent to the kensington
estate OF Mr.. Moore and was later
Geddes.
Dexeter cattle are very rare. there
being only two other herds in the Uni
ted States. according to DR.. Geddes. One
OF these Is owned by George ]. Gould,
president Of the Texas and pacific Rail-
road Company. and the other by the es-
tate Of the late J. B. Haggin, the mil
lionaire turf operator.
The cattle are very small. being only
thirty-six inches high. and are black in
color. In Ireland they are known as the

came fad with the royalty. and are
now kept on almost every estate Of any

They were popular among the peasants
