LIVESTOCK CHIEF SUBJECT

Programs at the farmers institutes
in Wisconsin this year will include
discussion of marketing of dairy cat
tie, the purebred bull drive, soybeans
for the dairy farm, barley growing
and feeding, self-feeding of hogs soil
acidity and poor crops, soil fertility
and commercial fertilizer. This is the
intendent of institutes
In addition. says Mr.. Luther, any
special subjects which the local COM
mittee in the community feel to be i'm
portant enough to be presented in the
petition for the institute will be added
to the program. Petitions should be
sent in not later than November /.
The 1918 records of institutes shows
that 100 meetings were held, in spite
of the epidemic of influenza which
caused the cancellation of many of
them Women had 45 meetings in con-
nection with the farmers institute.
There were also light sOil-dairy lnstl-
tutes. several 0ne-day meetings, and
sheep meetings. Total attendance,
based on estimates made at each
meeting, was $3.50, says Mr.. Luther.
Lime, legumes, and livestock is
the better farming slogan of Tennessee.
Ohio needs 100000 tons of limestone
annually to replace what is lost by
soil acids, teaching. and tile drainage,
say her soil specialists. Lime does
equally we'll for Wisconsin farms.

PRESENT TOLL RATES
BEING INVESTIGATED

The Railroad Commission is conduct
ing an investigation into the present
toll rates of the Wisconsin Telephone
Company and will hold hearing at
Madison on October 14th Soon after
the Postmaster General took over the
telephone and telegraph lines, he or
dered rates put into effect which greatly
increased the cost of long distance tele-
phoning. The wisconsin Telephone
Company filed these rates for approval,
which were denied by the Railroad
Commission. However, the Supreme
Court held that the state had no author
ity while the lines were operated by the
Federal Government When Congress
passed the law relinquishing federal
control it provided that these increased
rates remain in force four months un-
less changed by state authorities. The
Commission has started this case in or
der to compel the telephone company to
install reasonable rates. The burden of
proof is on the telephone company and
all persons affected by the toll rates
ought to be represented at the hearing

GOOD SHOWING
BY MUTUAL co.
Farmers Fire Insurance ASSOcia-
ton Now Has Over Half
Million i'm Force.

For the first time in its history, the
Farmers Mutual Town Fire Insurance
Co. of this county, has levied only the
legal minimum of three and one-half
mills, to cover the company,s losses OF
the past year. This levy, made at the
annual meeting of the directors, held
here Wednesday afternoon, is excep-
ti0nally low. giving the farmers insured
in this home company their protection
at very low cost.
The levy has been as high as thirteen
mills, but has been steadily going down
in the past few years, as the amount of
insurance in force has increased. The
company now carries over a half million
of insurance. 1t has been gaining by
leaps and bounds ever since Secretary
Carow. after a hard fight. got the insur-
ance department to allow this mutual
insurance to be written by any of the
insurance agencies in the county.

Hawkins Defeats Tony Wednesday,
But Loses to Ladysmith Today,
Score 4 to l.

The Ladysmith baseball team won
the championship of the county today,
by winning the final game of the county
fair series, Hawkins being the loser.
The lads from the east end of the
county put up game fight for the hon
ors, however, as the low score of to 1

Ladysmith defeated Amacoy in fast

day. The score was to =.
Thursdays game between Lady

exhibition of the national game as has
ever been witnessed here, the final score
being / TO 0 in favor of Ladysmith
The full nine inings were played with
neither team getting a score and it was
not until the last half of the tenth round
that the locals managed to get the time
ly hits that brought in the winning and
only tally. The game was replete with
good plays and remarkably free from er-
rors. Hamblin pitched no-hit game
for Ladysmith.
Hawkins gave Tony a hard drubbing
in the opening game at the fair, played
Wednesday. Tony played in the poor
est form shown this season, getting the
short end of score of IL to 5.

GET ACQUAINTED

Merchants, do you know your custom
farmer friends that the merchants of
this city are not getting acquainted
with the farmers as they should. One
farmer who is also a business man, told
me yesterday that he had lived near the
city of I.adysmith, long enough to spend
several thousand dollars, and he could
pass the merchants who got the money,
on the street. and they failed to recog-
nize him. This may be an isolated case,
but we know that the merchant who
takes the time to know his customers
is the man who gets the business.

NEWSPAPER ADVS. PAY

Advertisements of farm and stock
sales, are very profitable when placed in
the local newspapers of the community
in which the sale takes place. The
Iowa State College made a study of
this and found that farmers read their
papers in the evening in their own home
much more thoroughly than they do
sale bills, that are tackled up and scat
tered One more man could easily make
the difference between success and fail
ure of a sale, but the newspaper adv.
will bring dozens Of them.

NOTES OF THE FAIR

Mrs Geo. H. Mead, superintendent
of the flower booth, deserves special
mention Mrs Mead knows every plant
and flower that was on display, by
name. The tuber begonias OH the shelf
in the back part of the room were raised
by Mrs. Mead, and were the cause of
much admiration. The whole display
was beautiful, and was tastily ar
ranged. We give much credit to Mrs.
Mead. and the numerous other ladies
who so nobly assisted to make up this
grand collection of flowers, which could
not be equalled this side of the big
cities.
There was close contest between
the townships of Stubbs, Mulry, and
Grant on township displays. They were
all good, but the judge had to hand il
to the Weyerhaeuser people for the way
they displayed their goods The apples
were bright, and everything looked
fresh. The papers back of the display
were attractive, and the whole booth
was neatly arranged. O. A. Bjerke, the
superintendent, had the land of milk
and honey set off with the real arti-
cles at the top. of the booth. Glover
seed, red and alsike were excellent.
One big sweet pumpkin will go to Chi
cago for exhibition this fall, and the
mammoth squash caused considerable
comment These three townships are
to be commended for their enterprise,
and each in turn excelled the other in
certain things Stubbs' score was an
even 100 points.

FARM NEWS

Elmer Parks, brother of Frank
Parks. who lives three miles northeast
of this city. has bought a fractional
eighty acre tract Of land of A. III. Plant.
This is fine piece of land and is lOcat
ed on the river just above the Schukar
farm home We understand Mr.. Parks
will build on this land, and otherwise
improve it in the near future.
Mrs. G. E. Shoemaker. who lives two
miles west on the old Bruce road, has
had fine success with three pounds of
bugless potatoes she bought two years
planted this spring. and now has u
bushels of the finest potatoes she ever
tasted. Rusk county puts the proper
taste in potatoes.
Northern Wisconsin grown hubbard
squash are an excellent substitute for
the southern grown sweet potato.
Cooked and seasoned the same way,
they can hardly be told apart.
A good way not to advertise is to
take an old piece of cardboard and
scribble sign like this: .This bull is
for sale" This stunt was pulled off at
the fair grounds. No name. no attend
ant. Let the News-Budget advertise
your bulls, if you want them sold.
Tomatoes yielded Mr. Littlejohn at
the rate of $4,000 per acre this year.
Mr. LittlejOhn is an old settler, having
come here in 1900.
/. J. r. de Vries, who has a ranch
seven miles north of this city on the
Gates road. is out west buying up farm
work horses, and he writes j. NJ. Karr
that a large part of the farmers are
moving out of the dry districts, and
are selling out their personal property
at great discount. He says farmers
follow him around town. wanting him
to buy their horses. Mr.. de Vries will
have his horses here Monday. and the
farmers will have the rare opportunity
of getting good work horses at their
own price.
Dr. K w. Shipman, of Evansville,
Wis. who was here last week looking
over his quarter section which lies be-
tween the Herb Turner 160, and the
writer's 700-acre farms, has raised the
price of this piece of wild land from
his former price of $50 to $50 per acre.
MI Shipman says the land is too cheap
yet as an expenditure of $25 per acre,
will make a farm of it worth $1OO per
acre The land is easy to clear, as it
is nearly burned clean, like the other
two farms mentioned in this article.
He will improve it next year.

HEATING PLANT
AND CHIMNEY FIRES

Fire is a destroyer Of your homes
and endangers the lives of thosee dear
to you.
Heating plant fire hazards are still
the largest one cause of the Wisconsin
fires and fire waste.
Over 30 per cent of the 1918 Wiscon-
sin fires and about 10 per cent of the
fire waste were due to such hazards.
The following statistics from the
1913 Wisconsin fire reports clearly
point out these defects and the much
needed remedies for the guidance and
instruction Of the fire inspectors and all
citizens.
Without the full and active coopera-
ton of the individual property owners
throughout the state this commission
and your fire departments can do but
little to improve this bad record of
needless waste and destruction.
A study of this table is urged upon
all.
