The creamery at Eagle River makes
a big dollar out of cheap feed

1918 at the rate of 10 pounds per acre,
without nurse crop. In the season of
1914 two crops of clover yielded three
tons per acre. AS soon as the ground
was frozen that fall, it was heavily
top dressed with coarse manure. and
May 20, 1915, with quite heavy
growth of clover it was plowed and
thoroughly disced and dragged with
spring and spike tooth harrows.
The field was planted May %. using
an Iron Age two-man planter, set on
a 1512-inch drop, rows three feet
apart, and using 10 bushels of seed
per acre. Our planter has fertilizer
attachment, and we used 400 pounds
per acre of Swift & Company's Dia-
mond w. 4-8-3 fertilizer in one appli-
cation in the drill at time of plant
ing" The first four rows were run
without fertilizer as a check plat
These were Irish Cobblers and yielded
without fertilizer at the rate of ST.
bushels per acre. The next four rows
with fertilizer, yielded at the rate of
428 bushels per acre-increase, 81
bushels per acre. This grade and rate
of application would make the in
crease Of yield cost about Ia cents per
bushel. The potatoes were also
smoother and plumper where fertilizer
was used.
In this plat we had a competitive
tryout of each variety, Rurals, Green
Mountains, Triumphs, and Cobblers.
Planting one and three-fourths bush
els of each kind The yields per acre
were as follows:
Rurals-201 bushels.
Green Mountains-475 bushels
Triumphs-480 bushels
Cobblers-444H bushels.
Mr. Campbell won at Wisconsin
Pototo Show, 1915, first on Rurals,
first on Cobblers, second on Triumphs
At the National Potato Show, 1915,
he won first on Cobblers and first on
Triumphs. AS a grower he has ma
tional reputation. His accomplish
ments have added fame to the Eagle
River potato district.

LARGE YIELDS AND HOW
THEY ARE OBTAINED.

When a farm must be made to pay
from the crops of 20 to 80 acres, large
yields are necessary. The farms OF
the timbered section have on an aver
age less than Is acres under the plow.
The average yield of crops on an
Experiment farm for 1912 and 1918
were as follows: Oats 65 bushel per
acre, wheat 10 bushel, barley 43
bushel, clover hay 434 tons per acre,
two cuttings, fodder corn Is tons per
acre, green weight, potatoes $50
bushel per acre, roots Is tons per
acre.
We have found that the largest
yields are secured by growing gram,
clover and cultivated crops in what IS
known as a three rotation.
In this rotation or system OF crop
ping, one-third of the plow land OF
the farm is grown to grain, one-th1rd
to clover and one-third to cultivated
crops, corn, potatoes and roots.
In this rotation grain is grown on
the same field but one year at time
and is then followed by clover;
clover is grown but one year and then
plowed up and the field grown to cul-
uvated crops: corn, potatoes ana
roots and these are grown on the
same field but one year at time ana
then followed by grain.
Each field grows grain one year,
clover one year and cultivated crops
one year, every three years. That IS,
each field upon which it is practical to
have this rotation.
This frequent growing of clover
adds fertility to the soil, cultivated
crop on each field every third year
helps to keep out weeds and the year
iy change of crops lessons the loss
from crop diseases.
Land Must Be MANFRED.
The rotation of crops and the grow
ing of clover is not all that is neces-
sary for large yields. The land must
be MANFRED and here again we would
say: When farm must be made to
pay from the crops of 20 or 80 acres,
the land should be MANFRED every
third year.

From Circular of Information. by
Oscar Gunderson, Villas County
Agricultural Representative.

Interest in dairying is on the in
crease in Villas County. The farmers
are getting to realize that cream is
the best cash crop and the only crop
that takes practically nothing from
the soil. By the use of pure-bred
bulls and the careful feeding of heifer
calves the herds are being improved
rapidly. The great question to be
solved is winter feeding and feeding
In such way that the cows will pro-
duce as much in winter as when on
a good pasture in the summer. There
is only one solution to this question,
and that is silage, either of corn or
clover, and this means the building
of silo.
A year ago there were five silos in
Villas County Now there are four
teen, and another year will see this
number more than doubled An acre
of corn will yield from nine to fifteen
tons of silage A COW will eat three
tons in six months, hence an acre of
corn will feed from three to five cows
during the winter season. No other
crop will do one-half as much
Clover makes excellent silage, and
as it is difficult to cure the second
crop properly, it may be put into the
silo with no loss of feeding value. 1t
is an excellent plan to have both corn
and clover.
There will be a great many silos
built in the county next summer

WHY SETTLE IN FARM
GROUPS?
Considerations Which Are AS I'm
portant as the Price of Land,
Soil and Climate.

The settlers success depends much
upon his ability to market his prod
ucts after he has produced them. The
lack OF markets and community adj
vantages have been obstacles in the
way of many who possessed fertile
land. The fault has been largely with
the men who have encouraged settle
ment on isolated eighties and forties.
The settler in this case is not a part
of an organized community He is a
wheel barrow grower in a car load
age. Each isolated neighbor may
grow distinct variety Of potatoes.
There may be no road over which to
haul his products. He may find no
organized agency for buying and
handling his products. Without a
community life his chances of bust
ness success are less. He cannot Dor
row money as easily and he cannot as

plowed, to be planted the fourth year
to potato crop.
Under these conditions potatoes
will yield enormously and the cash in
come from the farm will vary from
three to six times what it would be if
some other form of cultivated crop
was used in the place of potatoes.
If 80 to 40 acres OF land are cleared
and can be titled on the farm, the ro-
tation as outlined above, which could
contain 10 to Is acres Of potatoes an
nually, would with the other crops
which are grown and fed to live stock,
bring in as much income as a great
many quarter sections farmed in the
ordinary way. In country which is
so well fitted by nature to grow
high-class potato, this crop should

ing money product of this section.

WHY POULTRY IS
PROFITABLE.

1t has been proven beyond a doubt
that poultry of stronger vitality,
healthier, and more fertile can be
raised in the cool climate of northern
Wisconsin than in the warmer states.
This creates large demand for
northern bred" pure stock for breed
ing and Matching purposes, and this is
a line that can be followed up sue
cessfully by large number of breed
ers without supplying the demand.
