Developing Potato Production

One of the big things has been the
work of developing the potato prOduc-
ton. There was much to do as there
were grown at the time. of the coming
of Mr.. Householder, many varieties,
and the crop was less marketable on
that account. Now the crop has been
standardized and this year seed of
pure bred stock is Obtainable In the
Weyerhaeuser section, the Rural New
Yorker was adopted as the standard
stock; around Bruce, the Green Noun
tain and around Ladysmith both va
rieties as there is a wide diversified
ton of soils. Under the process of this
work the standard varieties have been
increased until now there are five car
loads of pure Rural New Yorker and
Green Mountain seed in storage. Power
sprayers have been responsible for a
yield of from 40 to 60 bushels greater
per acre than where the fields were not
sprayed.
at the potato show held at Eau
Claire, Rusk county was awarded third
place as against thirteenth place the
year before There were only 10 ex-

A Strange Character
SO passes strange, quaint charac-
ter, one of the fast fading battalion of
that old regime of hunters, trappers
and woodsmen, whose names are so
indelibly written in the history and
romance Of Wisconsin. Perhaps be-
hind him is story but it is buried
with him.
The dead man lived on land which
he had sold to the Bucks Club on July
| 20. 1911. for $500 and of which he
held life lease 1t is located i'll sec
lions 26 and % in township 36, north
of range 8, west. This is in the town
of Wilson. Taintor was well known
| to the members of Bucks Club and j..
w. Carow was the executor of his will
named some three years ago
Taintor was known by many people
| for over 80 years as hunter and a
trapper. He was a brother of Cap"
Taintor who was well known all over
| the state as one of the most famous
of her river and lumbermen and Of
whom volumes of stories are told as
| to his prOwess as a fighter and keen
man of business. He died several
years ago at MenomOnie, worth large
| fortune. This brother is the only
| known relative. If there are others
| the dead man never mentioned them.
He made his will and left $500 to a
niece in Oregon, and 5000 to the
Truth Seeker. an agnostic publica-
ton. The balance of his property he
willed to the Bucks Club. His rifle,
an old-timer, he gave to J. w. CarOw.
He had about $1400 in the bank, the
Rusk County, at the time of his death.
To a neighbor he willed all that the
neighbor might owe him at the time
of his death.
TaintOr Was an Atheist
TaintOr was an atheist. At one
time he was said to have been deeply
religious and some years past he would
read his Bible for time and then cry
out Its all Id lie. and tear the
| leaves from the Bible and scatter
| them about.
He insisted that no preacher act at
his funeral IF one does" the hermit
said, III get right UP in my coffin
and curse him.
Taintor was born Is years ago in
September in Paririe du Sac, Wiscon-
sin. He served in the Union army
with a Wisconsin regiment. He drew
a pension and this with the few dol
lars from his traps and the scalps pro-
vided him with his few demands.

Exhibits For The Fair

Spent two weeks assisting farmers
to prepare exhibits for the Rusk coun-
| ty fair. The three organized potato
growers associations, the Boys and
Girls potato club, and the children
who put out gardens, contributed cred
liable exhibits
But this is only a part of the work
done. Everywhere there is evidence or
the county agents activities The ex-
pertinent on the lands in the Deer Tail
drainage district, while not successful
as it would have been had not the
frost of Aug q killed the crop, yet
demonstrates, says Mr.. Householder,
that several thousand acres of raw
peat land in Rusk county can be made
to be highly productive by the addition
of small quantities of hardwood ashes
and acid phosphate. 1t is believed
that the application of these once in
every three years will keep up fertility
of these soils.

DELAY IN TRANSPORTING
ROCK HOLDS UP HIGHWAY
Frisco Promises to Rush Delivery OF
Crushed Product to Sapulpa
Road

Failure of the Frisco railroad to
transport crushed rock from the Lost
City crusher to the Tulsa Sapulpa
road now under construction Is Sc
rlously delaying completion Of that
highway. A county employe made a
trip thru the railroad yards yesterday
and reported that II cars Of rock
are now in the yards, only a few miles
from the road being built. II they
were switched to points near the
highway, construction work could
proceed he declared.
Officials of the road said Yesterday
that they expected to move the rock
to the points desired today. The
Frisco Is especially interested in hav-
ing the highway completed. as 1t de-
sires part of the old road for terminal
facilities in West Tulsa. The county
commissioners refuse to sell any part
Of the old highway until the new one
is finished.
The railroad spur at Lost city has
been extended until 1t now accommo-
dates eight cars instead Of three.
This. county commissioners say. will
facilitate handling of crushed rock.
