FOOD CROPS MUST BE GROWN
Unequaled Opportunity Offered to
Farmers. in the Growing of
Staple Crops

The present war is creating a de-
mand for food materials which would
seem impossible under any other con-
dition. This demand is made more
intense by the serious failure of early
crops in the south and southwest.
Heavy spring .frosts in the southern
states and the continued drought in
the winter wheat sections have re-
suited in the blowing up of thousands
of acres for replanting, which is sure
to cause a great reduction in the yield
from these sections This situation
extends to our northern farmers an
opportunity such as they have never
before witnessed in the growing of
cash crops With sufficient seed avail
able, and a promising season before
them, Marathon county farmers are
confronted with prospects for the big
gest returns they have ever received.
Our national and state authorities
agitate the growing of staple food
crops in preference to all others. The
crying demand for wheat will easily
Justify sowing this grain in place of
much of the oats ordinarily soWn.
Spring wheat, will do well on clay
and loan soils, fall or spring plowed,
and bids fair to bring better returns
than any other grain crop even on
light soils. Large acreages of barley,
corn, and potatoes will be money maxi
ers, and are dispensable in meeting
the present needs of our nation. More
peas and beans of all varieties will
find ready market, and may be grown
successfully on all upland soil. Later
in the season root crops should occupy
a large proportion of our new lands.
Different farmers will naturally make
a specially of different crops. But it's
high time, yet not too late, to make
definite plans for the biggest season
in our history, and let us not forget
to put up considerable determination
and push back of our decision. The
County Agricultural School of Wausau
stands ready to give immediate help
in securing any of the farm seeds, or
supplying farm labor. Drop us card
presenting your problem.

County Fieldman.

We 10 Not Need Him

The great German U-attack on the
Atlantic coast is said to have been
large fish. The monster Of the deep
stuck his nose out of the water and
instantly there was hail storm or
shot and shells all along the Atlantic
coast.
The first thing this government
should establish is censorship, muz-
cling the men who are manufacturing
"bugaboos" to precipitate war panic
in this country.
A few years ago it was told through
out the land that Mexico was going
to eat us up; first the greasers were
going to cut us up into little pieces
and finally have one big stew OF the
whole American population.
Do you ever hear word now OF vast
armies of Mexico marching up and
down our borders? No, everything
down there seems to be as peaceful
and calm as a Sunday in Philadelphia;
the reason is that the war bugaboo" Is
getting in his work elsewhere
The "bugaboo" shifted to the hor-
rible spectacle of a possible war to
the south in which Germany and
Japan were to form coalition to wipe
out our country. 1t only turned out
to be a proposition, made by some OF
the Germans to the Mexican govern
ment. to be entered into if agreeable,
in case of war between the United
States and Germany. The proposition
never reached Carrap7a and he said
if it had, there would have been
nothing doing" Japan scoffed at the
idea-and the millions OF Germans
dream.
Now, the "bugabOOist" sees German
U-boats on the Atlantic as plenteous as
the sands upon the sea shore, and yet
an official report says: Regarding an
attack by a German submarine on the
American destroyer Smith, can be des-
cribed only as a frivolous means OF
attributing to Germany the opening
of hostilities. In fact no submarine
is yet in the western half OF the
Atlantic"
The man who scares his children
into being quiet and submissive IS on
a par with the bugaboOist, who would
make the people of this country be-
Iieye that every fish is a submarine
and every German in Mexico a batal-
lion and every Japanese is trying to
make war on America.
Can any one give valid reason why
the bugabooist should exist in his ne
farious capacity?
Is not the bugabooist the biggest
traitor America has at the present
moment?
Can any one tell us how the buga-
BOOST is going to help to make this
nation a peaceful one?
Is it not a fact that he is menace
to our country and in every cOmmun
ity where he is located?
We have all grades Of this kind o.
vermin.
He is found in all kinds of business
Let us bend our efforts to get riC
of him and let us meet the conditions
as they come up-calmly and courage
ously, which has ever been so charac
teristic of the American people since
the organization of this government.
We need soldiers and millions OF
them at the present time; we neeC
ships and ammunition; we need plenty
of fOodstuffs, but we do not need the
great big bowling lubber, who assumes
possession of all the patriotism in the
country, but who, stripped Of his pom
posity, is just>a common bugabooist.

Preparations are being made by our
country to have an enormous army
enrolled in the military and economic
struggle with Germany. This army will
reach the round numbers of 10000
900. 1t is proposed to raise this army
by the volunteer system, if possible,
and by CONSUMPTION otherwise. Here
is the plan-to enlist 100000 men
for fighting; 100000 for the navy; q
100000 to supply labor needs in crop
production; 100000 skilled mechanics
to build ships; 5000, 900 skilled and I'M
skilled labor to produce war munitions
and materials, besides a great num-
Der of new commissions for national
efficiency.
The volunteer system will be tried
for six months, this seems to be the
plan; after that, the draft.

Americans in Germany to Lack Few
Privileges

There will be no internment of
Americans in Germany, says a dis
patch from Berlin.
After a conference between the po-
litical and military authorities it was
announced that the German govern
ment would treat Americans there on
virtually the same lines as laid down
in President Wilson's proclamation
concerning the treatment of Germans
in the United States.
Americans will have almost every
freedom and so far have enjoyed the
same freedom as is accorded to neu-
trails, except that they are not allowed
to reside in fortified places and are
subject to stricter police registration
requirements.

SPY STOLE U. 8. NAVAL
SECRETS, SAYS DANIELS

Washington, June 11-Investigation
by the Senate Naval Committee Of
gun accidents on armed merchantmen
was interrupted today to await the out
come of search by Governments
agents for the writer of letters mailed
from Detroit, Michigan, to Senator
Frelinghuysen revealing naval ordi-
nance secrets.
Secretary Daniels, placing the let
tiers before the committee, declared
that either a spy or traitor had
been at work because the information
disclosed could not have been OBJ
tanned except from the confidential
files on the Nays ordinance bureau
He insisted that the writer of the
letters should be found and required
to explain.
The committee adjourned until We'd
nesday by which time, it is hoped to
locate the author of the information.
