FARMS WILL BE STUDIED
Out What Branches Contr-
butte to Income.

Grand apids.-Through the efforts
OF w. w. Clark, professor at the coun-
ty agricultural school of Wood county,
located in this city, the farmers Of
this county will be able to study and
analyze their farm business and find
out what branches are contributing to
the income.
H. o. Watrud, who is doing similar
work in several Wisconsin districts
this year, Is in charge of the work In
this section and it is worked out in the
following manner:
Fifty-one farms in the town of Port
Edwards are taken, all lying in the
same district with practically the same
soil and conditions. The records of the
years production are taken and ar
ranged in such form so as to show
clearly the sources of income. The
farmers Of the locality will assemble
early in December and the different
results taken up and discussed.
In this way the man who is getting
less out of his land under practically
the same conditions as his neighbor,
will be able to get at the bottom Of
the cause and will have pointed out to
him where he is lacking and why.

FAIR PRIZES TO Be
PAID IN FEBRUARY
PREMIUM WINNERS MUST WAIT
UNTIL APPROPRIATION
is AVAILABLE.
N0RGORD OBTAINS RULING
Under New Law Money Cannot be Bors
rowed to Meet Claims According
to the Opinion of Attorney
General Owen.

Madison.-The state board Of agri-
culture has no way of getting money
to pay the premiums awarded at the
1914 state fair until after the taxes
are collected and the appropriation
made by the last legislature becomes
available, according to an opinion
given by Attorney General w. G..
owen to Commissioner Norgord Of
the department OF agriculture.
Heretofore it has been the prac-
tice OF the state board of agriculture
to borrow money to pay the premi-
ums and repay it when the revenues
were available. Under the new law
creating the department of agricul-
ture this can not be done, according
to the attorney general.
In his letter to the attorney gen.
eral, Commissioner Norgord calls at
tention to the fact that people who
have been awarded premiums natur-
ally become anxious about this time
OF year, and that their complaints of
failure to pay requires much corre-
spondence and takes up much OF the
time Of the clerical force that might
otherwise be protitably employed.
Under the opinion of the attorney
general it will be necessary for pre-
MUM winners to wait until some
time in February for payment.

and such combinations which have
been tried have failed after short

ASKS RECALL Of
GERMAN ATTACHES
Lansing Demands Immediate Ac-
ton by Germany.
CHARGED WITH SHIP PLOTS
Capt. Boyd and Capt. Won Papen
Persona Non Grata to the United
States Government-von
Bernstorff Notified.

Washington. Dec. 6.-The state de-
partment announced formally on Fri
day that 1t had asked for the recall OF
Captain Boyd and Captain Won Pa
pen, naval and military attaches, re-
spectively. of the German embassy
here, because Of the objectionable &C.
tivities in connection with military
and naval matters"
Secretary Lansing Informed Count
Won Bernstorff the German ambassa-
dor, that Captain Boyd, naval attache
to the German embassy, had rendered
himself persona non grata to the Unit
ed States government as the result
of his connection with the conspirators
Of the Hamburg American line. who
were found guilty in New York.
The state department was believed
to be of the opinion that as Captain
Boyd had admitted his connection
with the financing Of the operations
which the New York jury gave a YER
dict as being illegal there was nothing
else to do but inform the German gov
eminent of It's views.
Secretary Lansing issued this state
ment:
ION account of what this govern
ment considers improper activities In
military and naval matters this gov
eminent has requested the immediate
recall of Captain Boyd, German
naval attache, and Captain Won Papen.
German military attache, as they are
no longer acceptable to this govern
ment.
1t is understood Count Won Bern
storff notified Berlin.
BY informing the ambassador that
the attache is persona non grata, the
United States leaves 1t with the Ger
man government as to the manner in
which Captain Boy-Ed shall terminate
his connection with the embassy.
This is the usual diplomatic pro-
cedure In the case Of an attache.
Captain Boy-Eds activities in the
United States since the war began
have been the subject of close atten-
ton by the state department and the
department of Justice.
Several times 1t has been broadly
limited that the American government
might intimate to Germany that the
operations of her naval attache were
Objectionable, with the inevitable sug-
gestion that his connection with the
embassy should be terminated.
Each time. however the threatened
action came to nothing
Captain Boyd first attracted the
attention of the government in con-
nection Nth the misuse of American
passports by German reservists seek
ing to slip through the allied lines to
join their armies. Some Of the men
captains name was mentioned now are
serving terms in federal peniten-
tiaries.
Later Captain Boy-Eds name was
mentioned in connection with the
chartering of ships from American
ports to supply fuel and food to Ger
man warships.
The same alleged connection came
up again during the trials of the Ham
burg American line officials just con-
cluded in New York, in which wit
nesses testified that Captain Boyd
handled $750000, which came from
Berlin for chartering the ships and
furnishing them with supplies.

5000 DEER KILLED
YIELD OF VENISON LESS THAN
ONE-HALF OF LAST YEAR.
Commissioner Barber Estimates Here.
tofore 60 Per Cent of Slain
Were Does.

Madison.-That the number OF deer
than one-half the number killed in 1914
is evident from the record now being
made up in the Office of the conserva-
ton commission.
The number reported to date for the
season recently ended Is 200. but re-
ports yet to come, Commissioner Bar
Der said probably would bring the num-
Der above 5000, all bucks, of course.
The record for 1914 was 1875 bucks
and does, The total in 1918 was 5000
and in 1912 it was 1888.
In former years, Mr. Barber said.
fully 60 per cent of all the deer killed
were does. Upon this basis the slaugh-
ter of does in 1914 was more than
4,400.
What effect the operation of the
buck law may have as a conservation
of deer may be easily figured out from
these facts and the Illicit killing of a
few does will not affect the conclusion
materially, is the view of Commission
er Barber
The number of hunting licenses is
sued in the state this year Is 30,37S
and is somewhat smaller than last
year, according to the incomplete re-
turns now in the department.
The number of licenses issued in
1914 was Resident, 156,S43; nonrest
dent, small game, 655, large game, 379.
Holders of resident licenses may hunt
all kinds of game, but nonresidents
may not hunt deer without a large
game license
