Distant Fields Look Greener

L
burn WIS first founded large
amount Of money has gone out
from this place for investment
in other places and it is safe to
say that the returns on the in
vestment have not been very
profitable for the investors,
in the majority of cases.
It has always been that the
distant fields look greener and
offer better advantages for in
vestment but when a closer
view of tie proposition has been
had it has always been found
that the investor could have done
better had he invested his
money at home.
This is particularly true when
when it comes to investing in
real estate. During the past
two or three years large
amounts of money have been
sent out by Washburn individu.
ais for investment in city lots
and additions adjacent to the
larger cities and it is safe to
say that in m any Instances after
the money has been paid out
that the proposition would not
bring il return soc on the
dollar of the original invest
ment.
Washburn people have over.
looked the advan tages of in
vesting their money in Wash
burn property where they could
have coubled their original in
vestment. Their property
would then have been close at
hand where the investor could
have kept in touch with it.
where he could have viewed it
before making the purchase.
But with outside propositions
the investor has to rely to a
large extent upon the honesty
of the sales man who in many
instances are want to paint
their proposition in the most
glowing manner in order to
make it look better and thereby
make bigger sales.
Swami p lands, wild lands, lots
that were perfectly worthless
have been unloaded unto the
iEno, t investor and all he has
got for his money is piece of
paper needing him the property.
Distant fields may look green.
er but then the investor is
generally taking more or less of
a chance. In making invest
ments get in touch with the
propositions offered at home
where you are assured a fair
retdrn for your money and thus
add to the prosperity of the city
in which you live.

seem to mind the cold spell in
the least.
M. A. Sprague was on the SICK

Few Changes Made from Pro-
caedings of Nov. Meeting
Territory Added to Town of
Barksaale is Cut Down
Somewhat.

Due to legal entanglements
which were promised as a result
of the annual meeting of the
County Board which was held on
November 28th a special meet
ing of the Board was held on
Tuesday of this week, the board
having been called for the pur-
pose of ratifying the action
taken at the November meeting.
During the morning session
committee reports, resolutions,
claims, etc. were taken up by
the board and repassed Identical
ly the same as the November
meeting, but during the after
noon session the "sticker" over
which the meeting was called,
that of adding more territory to
the town Of Barksdale, came up
for action. This brought on
quite a spirited scrap, the case
of the town of Barksdale being
presented by Chairman Pat
Galligan and William Landraint
for the town of Barksdale, assist
ed by Jacob Yderstad of the
town of Lincoln, while Attorney
Macleod, representing the
settlers in the territory which
was to be annexed to the town
of Barksdale, and H. H. Peavey,
who presented the resolutions,
appearing in behalf of the
resolution.
Messrs Galligan and Landraint
threatened that if the board
added more territory to Barks-
dale, that the $21, 1000 which the
town was to appropriate for sur
facing the county road in the
town of Barksdale, would be
withdrawn and the money used
for other purposes.
The settlers in town of Wash
burn which would be effected by
the change, had a lengthy petit
ion asking that they be put into
the town of Barksdale. Many
arguments were presented for
and against the movement and
many eloquent speeches were
made and when the vote was
finally taken to put townships
48-4 and 1876 into the town of
Barksdale, the vote stood four
teen for and thirteen against.
The tax question which has
been the "ghost" which has
stalked at almost every meeting
of the county board, was brought
forth again as new business by
Chairman Holston Of Bayfield,
when he proposed that Bayfield,
County make an investigation
and have values Of Bayfield,
county lands compared with
southern Wisconsin lands so
that the county would have
something tangible to work upon
in presenting their case for
reduction in state taxes before
the Wisconsin n Tax Commission
Supervisor Peavey moved that
the County set aside the sum of
81, 900 for the purpose Of carry
ing on such an investigation
contingent upon getting ten
other counties of northern Wis
consin to set aside like amounts
for the purpose Of making a
general investigation of tax
matters of the north part of the
state as compared with southern
Wisconsin.
For years it has been the be-
lief of board members that the
northern counties were getting
the worst of it on state taxes
and this the resolution seeks to
correct.

ORANGE COUNTY
FARMERS ASSN NOTES

Two days this past week have been
spent in testing soil samples for the
amount of lime required per acre to cor
rect the acidity. The average require
ment of the SO samples from $50 farms
was 2,400 pounds ground limestone per
acre. This would mean the same as
800 pounds burnt lime or LOO Stacked
lime to equal the ground limestone or
mari in ability to correct acidity. About
65 per cent of the samples required over
one ton of ground limestone per acre,
and 81 per cent over 5000 pounds per
acre. On soils requiring over one ton
per acre, the agent recommends the APP
plication of at least the requirement
when seeding down to clover and for al
falfa, about a ton over the requirement.
Those wishing samples tested next
spring will confer favor on the agent
in helping him plan his work by notify
ing him sometime this winter that they
would like call.
The annual report of the work of the
agent for the year 1915 has been COM
pleted and forwarded to Burlington. The
following figures from this report may
prove interesting. During the year 1915,
the agent has made l,lS3 farm calls on
Alb different people, arranged for 45
meetings and been present and spoke at
80, before audiences totaling 1895. In
covering this work, he has travelled H.
900 miles, 10000 being by automobile.
For Office work, 43s letters have been
written and 10 circular letters sent out,
the latter to total circulation OF / ,705. |
The agent has assisted at three extern
sion schools and in arranging two cross
county auto trips and one community
picnic. Demonstration work was start |
ed by Ia with corn, five with oats, eight |
with lime, nine with hay, seven with po- |
tatoes, two with forestry and four with |
beans total of 81. OF these Fl were |

other causes, but from % records were
secured. Summaries of these will be
given from time to time in these notes.
