LOTS OF RED TAPE
TO GET MARRIED

1t takes five sheets of paper to make
out one of the new marriage licenses
under the new law which goes into eff
feet on January LIST. First will come
the application. That takes in the ply.
steal and moral history of the appli-
cant, his previous marriages and
divorces. Then there is another docu-
ment which calls for three sheets OF
paper; the history of the bride and
groom are written there and the top
blank goes to the preacher, for his sig
nature; one of these is sent to the reg
lister of vital statistics whOmsOever
that may be. another is retained by
the couple as evidence of the marriage
and one by the minister.
Before that there is a marriage
license containing also all the informa-
ton given in the application.
County Clerk Munroe looked at the
blanks and smiled sadly, as he saw
what the future had in store but
Gained himself with the reflection
that there were few licenses issued in
the county, anyhow.

Deer Tail Drained Lands Now

Truck Farm
EXPERIMENTS BEING
MADE IN FERTILIZATION
County Agent Householder Believes it
Will Prove Thousands OF Acres
Are Valuable.

A garden of a thousand acres and
in itself the biggest and most lmpor-
tant demonstration of what the peat
lands of this state will do, is planned
for the tract known as the Grassland
Farms south of Ladysmith.
County Agent Householder has been
at work during the past week ON the
plan for the fertilization of the tract
on the Deer Tail.
\ hundred acres have been plOwed
bv the biggest pillow in the country, and
drawn with tractor has cut great
burrows across the fields which are
underlaid with tile.
These peat lands, according to the
experiments made last year, can De
made wonderfully productive, espec-
ially for gardens when properly Ter
tilized. But the land is sour and
needs lime. 1t is lacking III .phos-
pilates and that has to be supplied.
There is plenty of nitrogen, but II
takes some time for the land TO de-
velop that element and nitrate OF soda
must be used. The best fertilizer IS
stable manure but that is hard to Cd
tain and therefore commercial fertl-
izer of an exact formula must be used
F.. s. Musbach. of the Agricultural
Experiment station at MarShfleld, mas
been here this week and with MI.
Householder has been going over con-
ditions. The hundred acres will be
planted to sweet corn, early potatoes,
and other small truck crops. Including
many acres Of celery.
Near Superior, lands similarly
drained, rented as gardens i'll tracts
from so to 80 acres at Il rental OF SoO
cash an acre. These plats are wonder
fully productive and the finest lettuce
and celery is being produced.
Rusk county has hundreds of acres
of similar lands, most of it heretofore
considered almost worthless for grow
ing crops There are two private
drainage systems in the county besides
the one at Deer Tail and the one in the
town of Rusk, now in litigation, and
all people concerned are deeply inter-
eSted.
Results of this garden at Grasslands
will be watched with interest by all the
state. 1t may be that the problem or
making thousands of tillable acres IN
Wisconsin from the dead lands Will be
solved.

Ten licenses for vendors and users

Each person using or selling dynamite
must have a license and no one is per-
mitted to buy any explosive of any

ment in this manner will try to place
