COUNTY AGENTS WEEKLY
LETTER

Co. Agent Webb has sent the follow
ing communication to the Review for
the information of farmers who are al
ready planning their next years crop
ping work.
The Farm Bureau of Brown County
is considering the problem of an increased
acreage of winter rye The attention
of the bureau has been called by the
extension division of the department
of agriculture, University of Mime
sofa, to the fact that 18,081 acres of
winter rye were grown in this county
in 1918, and that probably a consid-
erably larger acreage can be grown
with profit.
Two reasons are urged for this pro-
gram:
That on soils not well adapted to
wheat, fine yields Of rye may be often
obtained. Soil that will not produce
wheat will often produce excellent rye
and pound for pound rye is nearly as
valuable fer bread as wheat. &
That with farmers whose principal
crop is small grain, an increase in the
winter rye acreage helps toward better
distribution of labor throughout the
season. H.. -
Land may be prepared for rye by
disking where early potatoes have been
harvested or corn has been put into the
silo early in September. Or land may
be used that has been plowed following
a crop of small grain Seeding should
be done early in September. Farmers
are urged to confer with their County
Agents. j
According to figures compiled by. the
Brown County Farm Bureau there are
lSo,0S acres of rye in Brown County
An increase of 16 per cent over 1917
Farmers are now. asked to increase that
by II per cent for the 1919 harvest
Each farm averaged 10 acres Of rye last
year. The average must be over II next
year. But consider that but half oi
our farms raised rye in 1918. Do YOU
share, put in your Il acres Of rye.

Minnesota has varied beautiful spots
for the peace and rest seekers scattered
near and far from our city. When the
heat OF the city drives one to despera-
tion and one is longing for place
where one is never warm and never
cold, where there are no ailments, no
sieepless nights, no indigestion or pro-
voking heavy heads there is an ideal
spot reasonably close to our city which
answers the call of such desire. ...-..
Pleasant Lake Lodge, located on the
shore Of Pleasant Lake, near Annandale,
is one of the incest resorts in central
Minnesota: A group of new cottages
all facing the lake, neatly equipped and
kept besides tennis and croquet grounds
make it an ideal place of enjoyable COM
fort and peace, to say nothing of the
chances for bathing and fishing a catch
of some 10 to Is perch and pickerel often
being only a half hours work.
The shores of the lake are surrounded
by an even growth of shade trees, which.
divide into a long and winding trail
leading into the village. =.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. H. Dunton, the
proprietors of the Lodge are at all times
willing to accommodate and assist in
making the guests feel at perfect ease.
Only those who have been impressed
with the satisfaction which can be derived
from places like these, appreciate and
comprehend the asset which they are to
our state.

other car containing Henry Ahrens,
John Ahrens, George Fesenmaier, Frank
Zangel and Albert Kruger were also
on their way down. AS they neared
Ballaton, however, they met several
cars in string and the driver of the first
car seemed excited and came toward
their car. AS the road was somewhat
narrow they were forced to drive down
a steep embankment, in doing which,
they damaged the Ahrens car. The
driver of the other car was going at a
good rate of speed and when he saw
what he had done he sped away and so
it was impossible for them to get his
number.

NEWSPAPERS MUST NOW
REDUCE USE OF PAPER
(Continued from 1st page)

Some of the weekIies are considering this
method of taking care of the PROPOSE
ton and others are preparing to make
the reduction by cutting off the list
everybody who is not paid in advance.
The War Boards ruling says that
every publisher must take from his
list the name. of every subscriber who
has not paid in advance for his sub
scription within three months of the time
of expiration. In other words If your
subscription is now paid to September l.,
1918, if you have not renewed by De
cember /, 1918, your name must be taken
from the list All advertising copies
are to be discontinued except where the
advertiser lives out of town and needs
the copy to satisfy himself that the ad-
vertisement has been properly published.
No free copies are to he given to anyone
and no extra copies are to be printed
each week except those which may be
ordered beforehand and paid for. No
copies are to be sent free to Libraries
except where the libraries bind them
and keep them for permanent reference.
It is expected that following these reg
ulations will reduce the consumption as
whole Is per cent. Any publisher
who does not wish to comply with these
regulations must make reduction in
his use of print paper in some other way
that will be satisfactory to the War
Industries Board and probably this will
be done in some instances by publishers
reducing the size of the paper every so
often.
Review Subscribers Should Pay Now
The Review has not quite decided yet
which step to take but one thing is
positive. All subscribers who are not
paid up within one year will be taken
from the list at once and hereafter any,
one who wishes to receive the Review
must be paid up in good order. There
are some instances where we should
like because of individual circumstances,
to continue sending the paper but it is
out of the question to do this and we
would therefore ask all who are in
arrears on their subscri ptions to send in
their money promptly. The price up
to March l, 1918 was $3.50 per year and
anyone can tell how much he is owing
on his paper by investigating the date
shown on the name label. Turn to the
front page at once and look this matter
up and if your subscription does not
show June 18 or later send in your
money at once. The rules as issued by
the War Industries Board in detail
follow herewith:
=. /. No publisher of a weekly, semi
weekly or trimonthly newspaper shall
use in it's production any paper except
newsprint.
2. No publisher may continue sub
scriptions after three months after
date of expiration, unless subscrip-
tions are renewed and paid for.
8. No publisher may give free copies
of his paper, except for actual service
rendered; except to camp libraries and
huts or canteens of organizations; ex-
ept to the library of congress, and other
libraries which will agree to bind for
permanent keeping; except to govern
ment departmental libraries which use
said publications in their work.

NEW WHEAT MAY BE RETAINED

AS yet there have been no rulings
made in regard to the new wheat crop
relative to the immediate delivering of
threshed wheat. Information from the
food administrations office is to the
effect that a farmer may save his grain
or sell as he chooses. No doubt new
rules will come as soon as the wheat
is dry enough to take to market.
