FARMERS URGED TO RAISE
PURE BRED STOCK
Association Elects Iver BergstrOm, Of
Glen Flora, President, and
Other Officers For Ensuing
Year

The dairymans meeting conducted
under the auspices of the Rusk County
Holstein Breeders Association at
Ladysmth last Saturday, drew Il very
representative audience of 75 good
Rusk county dairy farmers. The
Holstein Association elected Iver
Bergstrom, Glen Flora. president and
amended the constitution, combining
the office of secretary and treasurer
to which office ]. A. Schmidt, of Lady
smith, was elected. Hans Skjlbred, of
Hawkins. was elected as director and
III. w. Flunker, of Ladysmith, as
director. The association voted to
hold their annual summer Holstein
picnic on June %, the place of meet
ing to be selected by the board of
directors. An active campaign was
discussed, which would have for it's
object, the placing of pure-bred sire
in every herd throughout the county,
and the placing of a pure-bred heifer in
each members barn. 1t was thought
advisable to buy young heifers of good
breeding and from this a pure-bred
herd could ultimately be built The
experience of all present, indicated
that it is much easier to develop Il pure
bred from one good foundation heifer,
than it is to expect later to sell grade
herd and purchase mature pure-bred
animals,
George Cummings, of Eau Claire Il
farmer of over sixty years experience,
pleaded for Il more general co-opera-
tion of dairymen in building up the in
dustry. Mr.. Cummings outlined very
workable plan whereby five farmers
in the community would purchase
pure-bred sire comparatively. Mr..
Cummings argued that the association
could i'll this way afford to buy n
much better sire than the individuals
acting separately could, and that the
cost to each member of maintaining
the sire, would be less, and that the
stock in that community would be
more uniform.
r. j. Schaefer, of Appleton, urged
the farmers to pay more attention to
the development of their heifer calves.
He attributed the great records that
have been produced by cows in his
herd to the liberal feeding of his
heifers> He argued that any heifer
which is worth saving should be fed on
whole milk for the first five weeks Mt
least that she. should be taught to eat
a mixture of whole oats, bran and
corn with a little oil meal added. He
advocated having the heifer fat at the
date of her first freshening. She will
be able then to work this body fat into
the milk at the same time, developing
good udder and large feeding capacity.

FILL PROMISES?
Plain Statement of Facts Con
cerning the Locating of An
Industry Here

The question as to whether the city
of Ladysmith shall fulfill the agree
ment entered into by it to induce the
chair factory to locate here is to be
voted upon at next Tuesdays election
and the following statement is made
ter of the facts as to how the factory
came here.
Ladysmith, like other towns that
ever amount to anything, has been
for years trying to obtain industries.
In 1904, the city entered into an
agreement to guarantee the Wisconsin
Central Railway its right of way
through the city for $10000.00. Lady
smith wanted the railroad. 1t has
been of great benefit to the city. 1t
cost the city quite a number of thou
sand dollars and above the $10,000O0
paid by the railroad company. This
extra money was paid out of the city
treasurer when r. S. Johnson was
mayor, and while it was illegal under
the law, the contract of the city was
carried out.
A year or so later when the Menasha
Paper Company planned on building
it's sulphite plant here and charging
it's mill an agreement was entered in
to with the city whereby the city was
to perform and make certain tax re-
payments O. E. Peterson brought an
Injunction action and the city was re-
strained from fulfilling its agreement.
The city council believed that the city
should fulfill it's contract and the
obligations were fulfilled by arrang-
ing for such a low assessment on pa
per company property that the amount
was saved by the paper company in
their taxes. So again Ladysmith, al
though it had to do it by what might
be called subterfuge, kept its con-
tract
The pea canning factory was given
it's site by the city.
The above matters are all history
now and are given solely for the pur-
pose of showing that Ladysmith in the
past has fulfilled it's obligations when
ever they were entered into in good
faith, even though not according to the
strict letter of the law.
From about 1908 the time the Flam-
beau River Lumber Co. started it's mill
here in Ladysmith, the city has been
unsuccessful in inducing any new i'm
dustries to locate here. although one
year it employed a high salaried man
who Travelled for several months at the

MET LADYSMITII
BOY IN FRANCE
Bert Garrett of the Marines
Enjoys Visit From Dale
McNally cover
There"

The editor Of the Budget is iii
receipt of another very interesting
letter from Bert Garrett, who is with
the Marines in France, doing his bit. -
which contains much of interest to our
readers. He writes of visit from
Dale McNally, another Ladysmith
young man now '0ver there" We
quote from his letter:
Somewhere in France
Feb. a, 1918
Il am sending you a copy of ''The
Stars and Stripes" the official news
paper of the American Expeditionary
Force in France, published by the sol
dier boys and which | hope will be of
interest to you
II surely appreciate the Ladyslnith
News Budget very much and am receiy-
ing it quite regularly.
To-day is Sunday and who do you
think | had for a guest-a Ladysmith
boy, and one | think everybody in
Ladysmith knows-Dale McNally. He
walked all day to see me today and
sure had some time finding me. He is
stationed in nice little town, about 10
lIilOmeterS from here, and is in the
Engineering Corps. We had good
feed tonight, as he stayed for supper.
Our menu included roast beef, mashed
potatoes, gravy, rice pudding, bread
and coffee. AS we were eating, | said
Boy, how would you like to put your
feet under your own table at home to-
night?' And he replied, Old timer, if
I was home | would be like yourself
too d--n busy to eat!' Well, / sure
was glad to see him and talk over
things about the dear old city of
Ladysmith I have also received a
letter from Lieut. Ernest " Ryall, who
is also over here. Gee! 1t will soon
be like home if we all get together
again. Dale sent his regards to all his
Ladysmith friends.
Il was much surprised to read one
of my own letters in your paper re-
Gently. Reading a paper from home
makes one long to see the old faces
again, but not until our job over here
is done. 1t will be a merry time in the
old L. S. A., though when we do get
back That, of course, is a question
which | suppose has caused many days
and nights of anxiety, but what's the
use of worrying. We all take it with
smile and if we don't get back again
you will know we've done something
worth while
THE other day while travelling over
my regular route, | passed an old store
building and to satisfy my inquisitive-
ness had to take a look inside. Much
to my surprise | found it was a church,
but it was erected some time before /
was born. According to an inscription
on it, it was built in 1927
Frequently, we can see several aero
planes circling around overhead, very
