SELF, PELF, AND COMPANY"

Chow little the average person
realizes the wonderful change that has
come about in the last few years in the
occurrence of contagious diseases.
said a prominent upstate physician
while he was in reminiscent mood.
"Why. when started practice, about
twenty years ago, in the town | now
live in, | used to call on as many as
fifteen to twenty typhoid cases in
single day. Now | don't see that many
in the entire year The cases simply
do not exist in any numbers any more.
"The changed conditions in our town
were brought about by the installation
of suitable filter plant for our water
system incidentally, it is "a significant
fact that the installation of that filter
was secured by the insistent agitation
of one of the local physicians. The
public wasn't particularly interested in
in the effort being made by the doctor
to work out their salvation. indeed, /
don't believe that anybody, then or
since, eversshowed any appreciation
whatever of the spirit which animated
him, or of gratitude for the saving Of
lives which he accomplished. If he had
merely been selfish, he could have gone
on for years collecting hundreds of
dollars annually for visiting typhoid
patients
.Of course the public didn't realize
their dangerous position. The doctor S
work required him to see the cases in
sufficient numbers to make it impos-
sible for him to ignore the situation.
IN not claiming undue credit for him.
He would have had to be an inhuman
monster to haye thought of fees first.
1t does seem, however, that he was en-
titled to some respect, at the time and
some honor afterward. from the think
ing part Of the population. Instead,
he lost some patients as result of his
agitation. Some thought it was i'm
proper for doctor to take an interest
In political affairs. Others resented
his activities because they were cal
culated to increase taxes. However,
the history of the eradication of con-
taglous disease has been one of thank
less sacrifi"eof personal interests on
the part of some doctor or other"

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9, 1917.


Just one thing stands between ehe
slightly developed upper Wisconsin oi
today and the busy, productive, wonder
full upper Wisconsin of tomorrowE9usC
one thing accounts for the TACT tnat
there is now an upper Wisconsin in
the sense of being undeveloped-and
that is stumps. Had there been no
stumps there would not now be an I'M
occupied acre in ali upper Wisconsin,
but there would be there the most mag
nificent dairy stock and speciality re-
gion in America.
Never was this fact so impressed up
on the officers of the Wisconsin Ad-
vancement Association as during the
series of land clearing demonstrations
conducted through upper Wisconsin
during 1916 under the auspices OF the
Wisconsin college of agriculture. Bhe
intense eagerness of the settlers who
congregated at these demonstrations to
see their lands cleared of stumps was
the inspiration that developed our land
cleaking campaign.
It was found that the settlers were
doing excellentlys whentheir conditions
were considered, but it was those con-
ditions that appealed to the officers of
this association. These good men had
come with empty hands and were do
ing the best they could to make upper
Wisconsin what it is destined to be.
They were not discouraged, but their
every expression raised the questions
'Ts ther1 aot an easier and more rapid
WAY to accomplish the desired result?"
We discussed this matter with settlers
bankers, dynamite dealers and others,
and all agreed that there is better
way than the one which has prevailed.
And what it?
We went the settlers and asked if
they would buy more land clearing
equipment if it could be obtained at a
materially lower cost, and they said
that they would.
We went to the dealers and asked if
they would forego the trade, if thereby
through direct neighhorhood purchase
TIA money of settlers could be made to
g materially farther, and they said
that they would
We went to the bankers and asked if
they would assist in making it possible
to speed up land clearing by making 60
cents of settlers money count for a
dollar, and they said they would.
went to the manufacturers and
asked if they would join in the cam
paign to build up scores of splendid
comnnities in upper Wisconsin, and
they said that they would
And 50 the Wisconsin land clearing
On was started.

MAKING THE
LAND PRODUCE

Everywhere the public is awake to
the necessity of making the land pro-
duce more than it is producing. In
Europe they are conserving every NOR
sci of fertility and shipping fertilizer
across the seas. In the eastern u. S
they are spending millions annually to
increase fertility. In the west
they are spending 500 to 5000 per acre
just to get water on the land And when
all this is done none of these regions
can produce better returns than can be
produced on the cheap lands of upper
Wisconsin simply by the removal of
stumps.
There are millions of acres of this
good land in upper Wisconsin that can
be cleared and put to productive use.
The Wisconsin Advancement associa-
ton is at work to cheaper the cost of
such clearing. In the matter of dy-
namite it is cutting out 40 per cent of
the cost through cooperative buying
in carload lots. 1t is hurting no one,
for the dynamite trade-owing to the
cost of handling in small lots-was
worth nothing to the dealers.
In this connection point has been
developed that should not escape the
attention of settlers, and that is that
the cheaper 20 per cent dynamite, stick
for stick, pound pound or carload for
carload, is just as effective and better
to use than the costlier 40 and 60 per
cent that has been used in the past.
Here there is material saving in
addition to the approximately forty per
cent saved in cooperative buying.
This fact has been demonstrated be-
you'd any question The 20, 40 and 60
per cent has been tried out in the
same field, and in various fields under
all conditions. The 20 per cent removed
the stumps with less breakage of roots
resulting in a cleaner job, Hundreds
of experienced men saw these COM
parsons at the land clearing demon
STATIONS during 1916, with verdict in
favor of the 20 per cent.
The expert from the university en-
dorses the 20 per cent, not only be-
cause it is cheaper, but because in his
judgment it does the work better and
more completely. Men. long expe-
rienced in the use of dynamite were
thoroughly convinced that for stun p
work the 20 per cent was better than
the more costlier grades.
The Wisconsin Advancement associa-
tons land clearing campaign gives the
settler any grade he desires and this
article is written only in the interest
of the man who is going to use dy
Mantle in clearing his land. The 20 per
cent is recommended because it is
demonstrated to be better for land
clearing work and is cheaper.

Possibilities of Our Soil.

We want to say to the farmers of
this community that no feature of
present day education is more potent
for good to this country than that now
being accomplished by the various
agricultural schools and experimental
stations and farms.
Twenty years ago the "book farmers"
was looked upon as a visionary by
large per cent of our tanning popula-
ton, and is even yet so regarded by
by some, though happily their number
is small
Now the man who intelligently
studies his soil with a view of de-
termining its needs is coming to the
front as an authority on matters agri-
cultural. And the reason this is so is
because his theories have brought forth
fruit in fact.
Nothing is more certain than that
this country is woefully behind in
farming efficiency. For years our
farming experts have been pointing
out to US the fact that our lands are
not producing half, not even third,
of the crops that bountiful nature in
tended they should yield. One has
only to cite the case of Germany to see
the full forceof this statement. Germany
is not as large as the state of Texas, yet
Germany today is supplying her civil
LOT s@H hon nct oNT a
entirely from the products of her own
soil.
But Germany and other old world
countries have for years practiced in
tensive farming, a system that is just
beginning to prevail in this country.
Instead of being merely an exper-
iment, intensive farming should be the
rule. Nothing more fully demon
strates the truth of this statement
than a glance at the results obtained
by the many corn clubs of this country
From all directions come reports from
these organizations, where the enor-
NOUS yield of 200 bushels and more per
acre has been obtained. Not only this,
but the reports coming from all sec
tions of the country are proof that al
most any of our soil is susceptible to
just such improvement ;.:,a -
Then there is another important
feature to these big corn yields. 1t has
been shown that they can be produced
at substantial profit oyer andS bove
the cost of preparing the land for their
production. Careful records have been
kept of all expenditures and in almost
every instance the proceeds have much
more than paid the cost of bringing
the soil to it's present state of fertility.
If these results can be obtained from
an acre. or two or three, why not from
| ten, or fifty, or hundred acres? If
| they can be obtained from patch, why
not from field? Why not from fields?
The deplorable truth is that too
many of our farmers are necessity"
farmers. They ask themselves, How
much do l need?'' and they proceed to
satisfy that need. and no more. They
should rather ask, "How much can
get? " and than get all they can.
| Ithas been estimated that America
could feed the worldif all her soil were
made reproduce it's full capacity.
What that capacity is, we are only
just beginning to discover.
