MAKE OUR CATTLE FEED
SOLDIERS-NOT TICKS 6
A War Slogan for the South.

Washington, d. c., June 4.-Faced
by the war demand for more meat, let
us take advantage of an opportunity
which lies close to hand. Let us
recognize that it is our definite dutv
to turn our abundant grasses, our
cheap and available concentrated
feeds, and our mild climate to good
account in the production of beef and
milk and butter And let us realize
that to do this we must work together
to remove the great obstacle-the
tick.
Not only will the elimination of the
tick make possible the greater and
more profitable development of our
native cattle. 1t will make possible
also the bringing in of better beef and
milk producing stock which now can
not live under the attacks of ticks and
the deadly germs of cattle fever
which they transmit. determination
of the tick, therefore, will give us
quick, direct returns in the form of
increased growth Of native stock, and
1T will at the same time lay a firm
foundation for the building up of a
much more profitable cattle raising
industry in year or two-while the
war still may be in progress.
The South's battle against the tick
must not lag. 1t is not work which
may be dropped during the course of
war, the United States Department of
Agriculture points out. Rather it
must be pushed the more vigorously
in order that territory may be rescued
from the unsatisfactory and often un-
profitable cattle raising which the tick
imposes, and devoted to the more eff
ficient and more profitable production
OF meat and milk which may be car
ried on in unquarantined territory.
The tick works for our enemies by

All residents of the city are noti-
fled to clean up their premises and
remove all filth and source of dis
ease.
Diseases which are particularly
fatal to children have their origin
in decaying refuse found in back
yards at this time of year
Epidemics of anterior poliomyltis
have recently appeared in nearby
cities; Abbotsford, two cases and
Marshfieid, one case, and are at
tributed to the lack of sanitation.
Clean up your premises and see
that your reighbor cleans up his.
Do not permit him to endanger the
lives of your children.

BETTER EXPRESS SERVICE HERE
Packages WiILBe Delivered Free in
Larger District.-Pick Up Will
Be Later

Agent L. d. Marquette advises the
News-Budget that beginning May Z,
the Western Express co. will de-
liver express in the same limits
covered by the United States mail
delivery, also will make a change in
time of pick up and delivery in the
business district. After that date
the delivery time will be 1880 a. m.
and 2:30 p. M, and the picking up
will be made between 11:00 and
1900 a. m. and 500 and 600 p. m.
This will give our city better than
metropolitan express service and
the efficient service in the past will
be greatly improved.
The change in pick up and de-
livery is made to enable the business
men to get their express for the
night trains packed and picked up
just prior to closing time. The exs
tension in the city delivery will
mean a large additional expense.
Mr.. Marquette hopes that the
business people will give him all the
business possible to enable him to
keep and better this service.

COOPERATIVE POTATO EXCHANGE
County Representative Arranges Fer
Distribution Of Seed From Sur
plus Stocks in County

Seed potatoes Of all kinds are at
a premium. The office OF the Coun-
| ty Agricultural Representative has
Fbeen bombarded during the past
week with letters, office callers, tele-
phone messages and kilograms all
asking for pure seed potatoes.
There is enough good potato seed
in Rusk county to supply the local
demand. This seed, however, is held
in small lots by the farmers through
out the entire county and the great
difficulty has been in getting the
seed together. In order to facilitate
the distribution of this seed to points
where it will be Of most use, the
county agricultural agent has opened
up a COOPERATIVE Seed Potato Ex-
change in the building formerly oc-
cupied by the Northern Supply Co.
on Worden-av. Farmers who have
seed potatoes for sale should bring
their potatoes to the Exchange. AT
this place they are weighed and
sacked and the orders that have
been received by the county agent
are filled in the order in which they
were received.
The Commercial firms throughout
the county who deal in seed potatoes
are cooperating to the fullest extent
in distributing good seed. The Nor
gan Produce Co. at the request of
the county agent consented to hold
for seed several bushel Of potatoes,
which has been sold to be taken out
of the county. Cooperation OF this
kind will make it possible for all
people wishing to plant potatoes
this year to secure seed. Farmers
who have pure seed Of any kind are
asked to list the same at once with
the county agricultural agent in or
der that he may notify parties who
have placed their order.

FRUIT TREES WOULD
kaAKr Nnnn

mNNE ~ SSOD onS -
While the state Bank of Lady
smith is a strong advocate for groves
and shade trees, it is an advocate
for fruit also, and has had fine sue
cess with raspberries and blackber-
ries planted in the groves where
the largest snow drifts accumulate
which will be on the south side OF
the willows. The snow and shade
will keep the buds back beyond the
danger of frost. And then there is
the apple crop. BY the showing
made at our county fair we are quite
sure that some attention is being
paid to that, but not as much as
should be.
New York apples always bring the
best price, and by reference to the
map we may conclude that Wiscon-
sin will be a close second, in fact
the lands north of us are being pur-
chased for fruit farms. 1t has been
tested and proved that an apple or
chard should not be protected but
should be set in the open. Where
the buildings face the south with
the grove at the back, good place
for the apple orchard would be at
the east end.

FREE GARDEN PLOT

John Hendrickson has a piece of
land just outside of the city limits
that he informs us he will give the
free use of for garden plots to those
who wish to put in garden and
have no available place for it. The
land requires but little work to put
it in readiness for cultivation. If
you want to put in garden, or
have room for small garden at
home and would like enough land to
put in a potato patch, see Mr..
HendricksOn.
Others who have land they are
willing to have used for gardening
without rental are invited to notify
the News-Budget. Land should not
be wasted this year.

The women Of the Congressional

longs to do something for our coun.
try in the present crisis, and finds
it often difficult to know what to
do, are sending out the following
suggestions, which I feel sure you
will be glad to publish.
/. Join the nearest Red cross
chapter.
2. Urge that every foot of ground
be utilized for growing foodstuffs
3. Encourage the making of extra
jelly, jam, and other delicacies for
use in hospitals.
4. Obtain directions from the
nearest Red Cross chapter for knit
The News-Budget received the fol
necessaries for men in camp and
field.
| wish to add a few words to
suggestion No. 3,-that Of making
jams. jellies, ETC. If the women OF
each neighborhood would meet and
agree upon a standard size Of the
jelly glasses to be used, and deslg-
nate some place where each could
bring her donation, it would be a
great help. Then if each woman
when making her own supply would
set aside one glass of the selected
size,-as many more, of course, as
She wishes to donate,-but let no
woman feel that one glass is too
small to be of account. AS fast as
one dozen glasses are ready they
could be prepared for shipment to
the nearest Red Cross chapter. Ask
the grocer to save the boxes in
which jelly glasses are shipped to
him. They have paste-board parti-
tions into which the glasses fit, and
would serve admirably for shipping
the jelly. If there are enough
women in any one neighborhood who
can their own green vegetables, pint
cans of such things would be a well
come addition to any hospital food
supply.
While we are all hoping that con-
ditions will be such that We will
have. no wounded men, We must be
prepared for everything, and there
will always be certain percentage
of sick soldiers and emergency calls
arising from accidents.
