STATE .U AiD IN DEVELOPING
FARM LANDS
Assemblyman Rogers has Measure to
Help Settler in Northern Wisconsin.

The legislature wants to do some
thing to develop northern Wisconsin
and thereby increase the prosperity OF
the whole state, but how to do it is a
question.
Assembly man Rogers, of the Forest,
Florence and Oneida county district,
has announced the preparation OF
bill which he believes will solve the
problem. The object of the measure
is to help the settler make good by
clearing some of his land.
Mr.. Rogers would have the state pay
for the stumping of five acres of land
each year for three years, the cost to
be placed upon the tax roll, and to be
payable in installments for twenty
years, with interest at 3 per cent. He
has figured out that five acres can be
cleared for $125, and that this amount
with interest would result in a SO a
year improvement tax upon the pro-
perty improved. His plan bears some
resemblance to the rural credits scheme
but he contends that it would be practl-
cal and that the state would stand no
chance of loss.
"I have lived in northern Wisconsin
forty years." he said, land | believe
know the difficulties the settler must
overcome. We have settlers by the
hundreds who are anxious to make
good, but it will be a long process un-
less the state can do something to aid
them. When a man who has family
settles upon an eighty or a quarter
section his first problem is to support
that family Until he clears part of
his land he must look elsewhere for
that support, and while he is working
he must neglect his land.
s'On the other hand, if we will go a
head and clear five, ten or fifteen
acres for him and give him chance to
pay for the clearing so that 1T will not
be burden, he will turn his attention
to his land, the proceeds of his cleared
land Will support his family, and in the
course of ten years he will have home.
81 realize that if the state should
meet all the applications which might
follow such law it would require a
large expenditure of money. Perhaps
there might be limited appropriation
The details can be worked out. | be-
lieve, however, that have solved the
problem we all have been discussing
for years.
The greater northern Wisconsin idea
received an impetus today when mem

BAY SHORE EMPLOYEES GET
HANDSOME BONUS
$50. 90 Check Handed Each One in the
Company's Service Continuously
FIR Thee Years.

At a meeting Monday evening of
those of their employees who had been
with them continuously since Jan. l,
1914, the Menoninee Bay Shore Lum-
ber Co., of Soperton, presented each
with bonus check of $4,000 The
meeting at which the handsome none
tary recognition of faithful service
took pla"e followed the the adoption Of
a resolution by the company's board of
directors last week providing that those
men and women who had served the
company without interruption for the
last three years should be rewarded for
their faithfulness by bonus of SIS. per
month each during the year 1916.
phe meeting was presided over by
M. j. Quinlan, vice-president and gen.
eral manager of the company.
Each of the men eligible for the bene-
fit had been invited to be present, with
out however, being informed of the
nature of the business to be transacted.
Mr.. Quinlan called the meeting to or
der and to large assembly of surprised
auditors announced that the pleasant
duty had developed upon him of trans
mitting a grateful message from the
company's board of directors. He
thereupon read the resolution setting
aside bonus of $5. per month, during
the year 1916, foS each of those en-
ployees who hac fJan. /, 1917, COM
pleted thr years of continuous SER
vice in the company's office, lumber
yard, saw MILL, planning mill or train
service. Mr.. Quinlan expressed him
self as deeply gratified TO be able to
perform this duty and heartily compli-
mented the men for their loyalty aISd
cooperation. The roll of the assembly
was then called and each man present
stepped forward and received from Ii.
E. Nc Graw, the company's treasurer,
check for $4,000.
A resolution was proposed and unam-
imously adopted by the men thanking
the board of directors in heartiest
terms for their act.
This was the first action of the kind
taken by the Menominee Bay Shore
Lumber Co., ard was in accordance
with its established policy of cooper
ating with and eliciting the cooperation
of its large working force.

RECLAIM WASTE TOWN LANDS.

The question of using idle city lands
for food production is just now ~engag-
ing the attention of the people of Eng
land, as it has already done those OF
Germany, and efforts are being made
to conserve this potential sourse of
wealth.
| 1t is estimated that in the city OF
| London alone there are Ii, 900 acres of
idle land, capable of producing annual
Iy $500 worth of foodstuffs per acre
u amazing total of 81, 100000 yearly.
In connection with the present high
cost of living this item of news should
carry potent lesson for every town
and city in our own country.
This subject is full of possibilities
for THIS town.
Have you, reader, eyer tried to es-
innate how many acres of idle land
there are in this town-in OUR town?
Take day off some time and count the
vacant lots that are now given over to
weeds, old tin cans and rubbish gen.
orally Try to reduce. this combined
area to acres. Calculate the possibil-
tiles of these acres, and then you will
See what the people of THIS TOWN
annually allowing to slip through their
fingers for want of little energy.
1t is folly to protest against the
high cost of living when we are neg
lecting the means lying right at our
doors of largely alleviating those con-
ditions.
Almost any family can cultivate
from a quarter to half an acre of
gr und, and quarter or half acre will
produce vegetables and small fruits
for most any family for the entire year.
look around you and locate the men
who are loudest against the prevailing
high prices. Are they the men who
have cultivated good gardens and
truck patches? No, indeed! These men
have cellars well stored with sweet
and Irish potatoes; they have probably
raised and fattened pig or two; they
have fruits and vegetables canned and
preserved, and are really LIVING AT
HOME. And they don't have night
mares near the end of the month over
the grocery bill that must be p id on

TOWN IMPROVEMENT

the first.
Let ushave revival of gardening in
terest in this town this year. Let
every one of US who have few square
feet or yards of soil see to it that that
soil produces this summer all of which
it is capable. If we have no surplus
ground of our own, then let's rent a
vacant lot from some neighbor and
turn it into food for the family.
Many people in this town buy all Of
their groceries and provisions from the
stores, paying out large sums in the
run of year, while they have ample
land lying idle from which they could
supply majority of their warts in
this line. This is not only poor econ
omy, but it is rank extravaganza.
But that is the way of the average
American citizen. He buys beans and
raises cookie burrs He buys potatoes
and raises dog fennel. In short, he
buys all he has to eat and raises hell
generally oyer the prices he has to pay.
An important phase of the question
lies in the splendid possibilities for
health afforded by the congenial task
of gardening.
Every dweller in city or small town
should. if possible, acquire piece of
ground to work through the summer,
be it ever so small. An hour or two of
diligent work in the soil is natures
finest tonic 1t will dissipate the worst
case of crouch; it is perfect liver re-
gulator, cures dyspepsia, is an excel
lent remedy for rheumatism, and makes
you feel that life is really worth living.
Let's get down to the business of
conservation in earnest. A bushel of
potatoes will yield as much nourish-
ment and energy if raised in ones own
garden as if bought at the store.
Beans and peas, cabbage, lettuce, rad
lshes, straw berries, etc. coming fresh
from your garden are not to be com
pared with the average detected looking
article usually found in the markets.
So while we are urging the country
to reclaim the waste lands, let us re-
claim Ourown waste territory. 1t will
conserve our health; it will tighten the
strain on our income; and last, but by
no means least, it will aid largely in
! beautifing our town.
Now what do YOU think about it?
