Cost Of Clearing Important
Factor in Development
Work.
FIRST AID FOR SETTLERS
Station to Give Special At
tentiOn to Problems OF
Upper Counties.

To demonstrate easier, quicker and
cheaper ways of clearing logged-off
or cut-over land, the LAND CLEAR
ING SPECIAL" will tour 10 of the
principal counties of Wisconsins
timber belt beginning September 49,
The stamping special will be
distinctly working proposition of the
most practical nature, intended as
demonstration to help men who have
settled or will settle in the undevel
oped, cut-over regions of the state.
The train, consisting of one fiat
car, three box cars for equipment,
one cook car, one eating car, one
bunk car and a caboose will be OPP
Grated through the cooperation of the
500 Line with the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture and a number of the
leading manufacturers of land clear
ing apparatus and explosives.
Agricultural representatives in the
counties to be visited will help in
to secure the cooperation of farm
ers and land companies in furnishing
men and teams to aid in the various
demonstrations.
A crew of men, thoroughly familiar
with the methods of land clearing to
be shown, will accompany the train.
Machines for pulling and piling the
stumps will be carried by the demon
strators, including power and hand
stumpers. Modern safety first sys-
TENS for the use of explosives in land
clearing will also be shown.
Several stops will be made during
each week of the trip, which will
cover one months time. Each DEM
onstratiOn will be made as near the
tracks as possible under actual work
ing conditions. The old plan of max
ing a few spectacular stump remov-
ais and then leaving for new fields
a clean sweep will be taken of all
stumps in sight.
At each of the places the demon
stration field will be divided into
plots requiring equal amounts of en-
ergy to clear them for the plow.
Demonstrators for the various types
of pullers will select their plots by
lot, visiting farmers thus being given
a chance to decide for themselves
what process or processes are best
suited to conditions on their own
land. In case of unfavorable weather
the demonstrations will consist OF
illustrated talks in the town halls or
other meeting places, where charts,
lantern slides and models will be dis
played and explained and questions
answered.
The counties to be included in the
itinerary of the LAND CLEARING
SPECIAL" are: Douglas, Sawyer,
Rusk, Ashland, Price, Taylor, Clark,
Oneida and Forest counties.

LOW COST PULLING AND PILING

LIVE STOCK AIDS
THE SETTLERS In
"GROWING" FARMS
By Selling Live Stock Pro-
ducts Least is Taken
From Farm.

First of all there is that prime
requisite for fine butter and cheese
namely, an ample supply of pure, cold
water, everywhere accessible. North
ern Wisconsin is unexcelled by any
region in the great abundance of pure
cold water in her thousands of lakes
her many rivers, brooks and springs
indeed, the water supply will meet
the requirements of the most exact
ing in it's quantity, prevalence, pur-
ity, and coolness
The second requisite is an abun.
dance of wholesome stock foods, in
good variety for summer and winter
feeding. In summer time the dairy
cattle of northern Wisconsin will find
in its pastures the finest of grasses
and clovers, for the cropping. Red
and white clover flourish, and timothy
and bluegrass pastures are as preva-
lent and productive as anywhere fur
Their south. The pasture season for
cattle is not so long in the far north
by about one month as in the extreme
southern part of the state, but while
they last, these pastures are not ex-
celled by those in any other part of
our country, as we have ascertained
by careful, close study of the turf of
this region. For winter forage the
dairyman can provide an abundance
OF fodder corn, clover and timothy
hay, pea straw, oat hay, root crops
and silage from corn and clover. This
gives him list of coarse forage equal
in variety and quality to that pos
sessed by dairymen farther south in
the state, and the abundance of these
crops is only measured by the ambi-
ton of the farmer in producing them.
But dairy cows must have grain as
well as coarse forage; here the north
ern farmer suffers nothing in COM
parison with dairymen elsewhere.
Over much of the north Indian corn
will ripen, giving that feed in album
dance. Then there are oats, which
give a sure crop of fine grain, and
barley yields an abundance of grain
excellent for cow feeding. The yield
of peas at the north is far in excess
of what can be gathered from this
crop farther south, and pea meal fur
nishes a cow feed of the strongest
character. The numerous railroads
crossing northern Wisconsin lead to
the milling centers of Minneapolis
and Superior, making it an easy pos
sibility for dairy farmers to secure
bran and shorts to supplement the
grains grown on the farm.-W. A.
Henry, former Director of Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station.

Will the settlers of Upper Wiscon-
sin show their interest in land clear
ing by attending the demonstrations
of the Land Clearing Limited to be
operated over the 500 Line, Septem-
Der IS to October 18?
Will they be willing to leave their
work long enough to give the men in
charge the benefit of their personal
ideas and experiences relative to the
big job that is before the common
wealth Of Wisconsin?
These questions have been pom
dered carefully by the group of men
in charge of this cooperative demon
stration train, which between Sept. Is
and Oct. Is will tour ten of Wiscon-
sins cut-over counties.

Land clearing being a matter of
much interest to the settlers of our
county, the coming of the special train
equipped with the latest and best of
stump pulling and piling apparatus
and explosives for demonstration is
an event of considerable Importance
to this region.
The demonstrations will be con-
Quoted in plain, straightforward
manner, without frills and theories.
Uniform areas of land will be assigned
to each of the demonstrators, with
the understanding that all stumps
shall be removed as they come, under
actual working conditions.

SCARCITY OF FARM LABOR.

one Of the difficulties which will b
experienced by farmers the coming sea-
son, more than in previous years. is the
scarcity of farm labor. immigration OF
this class OF workers is found TO have de-
Crea sed by about 10 per cent. from what
ii was 6efore the war. This is n matter
in which all farmers organizations will do
we'll 10 use their own efforts in co-opera-
zion with the State free employment bu-
reaus and other agencies interested in the
distribution OF help.
There has never been time before when
the difficulties in the way of getting satis-
factory farm workers in sufficient num-
bers was as great as now The heavy
foreign demand for our farm products
has caused increased acreages to be plant
ed. and this. OF course, aggravates the
help scarcity. And the activity OF large
urban industries. also due to the heavy
export trade makes 1t much less easy to
recruit farm labor from the cities.
The country farm bureaus will find
this need an important field for their en-
deaVors, and the division of information

perience will ne to cause farmers to seek
these agencies of distribution and rely
less upon chance and haphazard endeav.
