Great Corn Country.

Central Wisconsin is corn country.
There is hardly a farm in the dairy
section that does not have one, two or
three silos, and they raise plenty of
good, solid corn to fill them, and have
enough left for fodder and plenty of
mature grain. Even ten years ago the
natives claimed that corn would not
succeed there, but somebody came in
from the southern part of the state
and started to grow it. The c)rn belt
includes the whole length Of Wiscon-
sin today. Oats, barley and rye are
standard crops that produce abundant
ly.
The dairy cow is the medium thu ough
which they market all farm products
of the central Wisconsin dairy district.
Every farm carries twenty, thirty or
forty cows, grade or pure bred dairy
stock. 1t is impossible to get very far
from a cheese factory that furnishes a
convenient and profitable market for
all milk. Stop almost any farmer in
the road and ask him the size of his
monthly milk check. The answers will
range from $50 to 5000 a month. but
the majority over 800. One farmer
told me of record of $1,000 milk
sale in one year from 100 acre, farm,
but he was retailing milkin town, and
not shipping it to the factories.

PLAN A VISIT TO
THE COUNTY FAIR

'To make county fair the vital,
helpful institution that it may be, the
boys and girls must be encouraged to
take part. With old and young work
ing together the fair becomes, as it
should, real community effort"
This statement was made by c. P.
Norgord, formerly superintendent of
Farmers Institutes, now commissioner
of education.
"Nor is 1t hard he continued, ito
get young people to help in making
their local fair decided success for
the interest is already there. No event
of the year, except perhaps the circus
and Fourth of July celebration holds
such thrills for the average boy or
girl as does the annual county fair.
''To prove this, look back into your
own youth and recall with what tense
excitement and imagefilled brain you
went to bed the night before the fair.
Remember how you arose earlier than
usual, by an hour or more, to get in
the COWS and rush through the chores.
See the family packed into the spring
wagon as it ratified down the frost
coated lane and hear the merry shouts
and good natured jests as you meet
friends and neighbors along the way.
Feel again the thrills of expectation
as you near the tall board fences OF
the fair grounds and hear the alluring
strains of the merry-go-round organs
and the metallic drone of the hawkers.
1t was surely big day, and if you
had some choice ears of corn or a
fine eve or heifer that was to compete
for prize, you were dosbly interested
and excited.
Teachers and county superinten-
dents do much to interest the boys
and girls in the important features OF
the fairs. Oftentimes they arrange
for the exhibition of the handicraft OF
their pupils and provide for spelling
matches and other forms of scholastic
competition Up in Sank county this
idea has been emphasized and has re-
suited in building up tremendous in
tsrest in the fair. There, speaking
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1915-09-03

contests have proved valuable means
of interesting Young people and VIII
ming the support of their parents.
Along these lines there is grand OPP
portunity 20 show an interested audi
ence what the schools are doing. Inc
older folks will be sure to attend IL
one of their boys or girls Is TO take
part in a speaking or spelling contest,
or has an exhibit of some kind on dis
play.
that is too important to be overlook
ed and one that ought to be strength
ened in every possible way. In many
communities the fair is one medium by
which farmers and their families meet
friends and relatives and form nc
quaintances among people living in
other parts of the county. People
meet at the fair who seldom see each
other throughout the rest of the year.
This chance to renew acquaintance
and friendships and to meet strangers
of course, is splendid thing. A wide
acquaintance is a broadening factor in
the life of any person and the farmer
needs such an influence as we'll as any
one. 20 further this idea, picnic din
ners on the grounds, township and
school district receptions 1.-THE people
of one district inviting those of anoth-
er TO basket lunch and various kinds
of get-together meetings should be en-
eouraged.
"The worth of county fair is judg-
ed by the number of exhibitors. 1t
can never be of great influence unless
a large percentage of the people with
in the county are interested in its
growth and Improvement. Everyone
should plan to exhibit. Then only does
the fair become real vital, helpful
institution.

Alfalfa and Canada Thistles.

Alfalfa growers in Wisconsin have
found that that crop is bad for Can
ada thistles-and good for the far
mer. Canadian thistles are aggres-
sive and persistent fighters for the
possession of the soil and against al
most any crop are a consistent win
ner, but finds the battle with alfalfa
a bad one. The trouble from the
standpoint of thistles is that so many
generations of alfalfa come on the
field and at such frequent intervals
that the thistle doesn't have fair
chance. The mower comes humming
along every time the thistles get a
start, and off goes their heads several
times every year.
So it is with quack grass and other
noxious stuff-they no more than get
over one setback when they get anoth-
er and another. And alfalfa fills the
barns so fast, and comes back in the
form of barnyard fertilizer, and
loosens the soil so that these noxious
things cannot get a foothold. ALI over
the state come reports that these
plants cannot hold their own against
alfalfa and that is one reason for a
greater acreage of the greatest farm
crop in the world.

FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSION
BY Peter Radford.

The recent investigation of the
United States Commission of Indus
trial Relations brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep
resentatives of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views in
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glaring at each other over CULTS of
misunderstanding and if the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public a distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn-
fishing the sinews of war and it is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each others souls, it always makes
the world better and far more salts
factory to the farmer, who in the end,
bears the burden of conflict, than
resolutions, speeches or pamphlets
containing charges and counter
charges.
The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding Is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there Is
no authority quite so commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de-
cree quite SO binding as that OF the
Supreme Court of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite SO
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not
be occasionally blinded by the light
ming flashes of ayarice or frightened
by the thunder peals OF discomfort.
But Understanding is a Prince OF
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to men who want to do right.
A mans income Is always sacred
thing for in it are the hope. ambition
and opportunity of himself, and fam
fly. but there Is nothing in human
heart quite so divine as Justice and
Understanding Is its handmaiden.
