theodore StoleSon tells the Censor
that the little for sale ad in the Cen
sor found a desirable market for
his 400 bushels of choice potatoes.
The Salzer Seed Company of Lacrosse
purchased the entire amount, so that
he was obliged to turn away many
others who made application for small
er quantities.
Former Sheriff Andrew HOMELAND
was in to deliver his acre of tobacco
on Thursday. 1t broght him slightly
better than $3.50. He hired no help to
produce it. From his 40 acre farm,
the old Sam Lake place, in the extreme
southeast corner of Viroqua town, Mr..
HOMELAND says he has sold S1,700 in
cash the present season. In this pro-
duction he markets the cream from hut
seven cows.
John I. Davis tells the Censor that
wolves have destroyed eleven sheep
and lambs on his Retreat farm within
given months. He says that wolves
and dogs are the prime cause for the
defamation of Vernon county sheep
than all other causes. r.Davis' ex-
perience is that there's no more profit
able revenue producer on the farm
than a nice flock of sheep well cared
for. They are worth hundred per
cent more than year ago.
To grow more and better crops, GER
eals and animals the present year is
the slogan everywhere. Vernon coun-
ty can greatly increase her productive
strength, and the efforts of every far
mer, gardner and breeder should be
directed to that end. The general gov
eminent declares that hundreds of
thousands of acres of lands in the
United States hitherto untitled, may
be placed under cultivation during
1918. An inquiry by the department
of the Interior shows that approx
mately 00,000 acres on various re-
clamation projects and an area of In
dian lands almost as large are suscept-
ible of cultivation.
Farmer Nick Dorschied was in from
Webster on Monday. He reports the
sale of 81 400 in hogs from his farm,
with about 81 500 in tobacco to follow.
