UNION PACIFIC
IS SUCCESSFUL
Railroad Company Will Have a
Large Acreage Under Guilt
walton During 1917

The campaign of the Union Pacif-
ic railroad to bring the spare land
along it's right of way under cultiva-
ton has met with phenomenal sue
cess.
Approximately $4,000 acres will be
under cultivation in 1917, Including
the branch lines, the right of way of
the Union Pacific is almost BOO miles
long, and the right of way acres that
will be used for the raising of food
crops during the coming summer, if
all in one piece, would make a strip
Of land approximately 100 feet wide
and 2200 miles long.
Most of this land has been leased
to the owners of adjoining fans at a
nominal rental of one dollar per year
Some of it has been under cultivation
in previous years, but the recent APP
peal of President Wilson for coop
Grafton in increasing the farm yield of
the country has given tremendous i'm.
petus to the extended use of these
right of way acres.

The figures given above do not in
clude small patches that will be cul-
tivated by the Union Pacific employ
ees and others with whom temporary
arrangements have been made and will
be made during the planting season.
BY the time all of these small pieces
are put under cultivation it probably
will add several thousand acres adj
ditional to the sum total.
If the other railroads of the coun-
try do as well in proportion, it will
mean tremendous increase in the
production of more food stuffs which
is now so essential in the world wide
struggle to overcome the destruction
being &riught by German submarine
war fare.
The majority of this land is in the
richest agricultural sections of the
states through which the railroad OPP
crates.

of the Union Pacific in Nebraska, Kan

Not all of the right of way of the

purposes. In some places the right

IN LAND CLEARING.
DEMONSTRATION TRIP THROUGH
NORTHERN WISCONSIN HAS

TONS OF DYNAMITE USED,
Agricultural Agents In Various coun-
ties Report That Much Stump
Pulling Machinery is Being
Bought This Year.

Madison-The demonstration trips
through northern Wisconsin to dis
play the best methods of stumping
lands have had good effects. County
farm agents in various counties de-
clare that five times as much stump
ing machinery has been bought, there
is much more inquiry for Upper Wis
consin land and many more settlers.
County agents give abstracts of re-
ports as follows:
Villas County-Ten tons of dynamite
unloaded here the other day. There
will be more land cleared in two
months this year than in any five-year
period before.
Taylor County - Farmers want all
the dynamite they can get and more,
too. Every pound of dynamite in the
hands of good farmer means more
tillable land. The bankers are with
us, and all are busy.
Oneida County-More than six tons
of dynamite will soon be here for irn-
mediate use, and farmers will follow
with an order for another six tons
There will be more land cleared here
than in any two years previous.
Ashland County - Have just COM
pleted the little job of unloading and
distributing about twenty-one tons of
dynamite to our farmers. Stump pull
ing is surely the biggest single aid to
food production that farmers here can
give.

PATRIOTIC SPEEDERS FINED
Plea That They Were Performing
Useful Work to No Avail
With Sheboygan Judge.

Sheboygan-Despite the fact that it
was a patriotic race in which Herbert
Zwiebel and Mel Olson exceeded the
speed limit between Manitowoc and
Milwaukee on July 4, Judge Otto
Bassaneuner in Municipal court i'm
posed a fine of $40 and costs, total
ing $22.12.
The occasion for the speeding was
TIE military chauffeurs' race instituted
to stimulate recruiting into the ranks
of military mechanics.
In reply to arguments of lawyers
and other citizens, the judge admitted
that the idea was a patriotic one and
that the men had no private gain in
view, but declared they were violating
the laws, and because he had made it
a rule never to suspend fires in an au-
tomobile case, he refused to suspend
fine in this case.
Bart j. Ruddle of Milwaukee, secre-
tary of the National Automobile Deal
ers' association, and II. w. Bonnell,
manager of the Milwaukee branch of
the Mitchell Automobile company,
were among those appearing in be.

Among the questions that properly
come under this head and have bear

the attacks of insects on crops, the
prevention of mosquitoes, insects in
food and water, and so on. While
many publications will not possess ma

Dubuque Division and Burlington
Road Tracks Washed Out by
Heavy Rains Near La Crosse.

Sections of track $50 feet long were

thing before it. The Reno-Preston
branch in Minnesota was under wa

There is a big washout near Browns
