NEW MARKETS FOR
WISCONSIN LIVE. STOCK

All eyes are turned to Northern Wis
cOnsin. and an item of exceptional in
terest to the livestock growers of these
parts is the fact that Armour & Co. has
erected a $4,000, 100000 packing plant
at South st. Paul, in anticipation of
the big increase in the live stock pro-
duction of Northern Minnesota and
Northern Wisconsin. Two years ago
big packing plant was established at
Green Bay, Wis. and this year is do
ing business of better than $1,000.000
per month.
This plant draws trade from North
ern Michigan and Northern Wisconsin
and their volume of business is stead
lily increasing. These points make
home market only a few hours haul
from Ladysmith. This should mean a
big saving in shrinkage and freight
rates These savings mount up into
the thousands of dollars and is a direct
or indirect benefit to every citizen of
every county in the district named.
This country is coming into it's own
rapidly.
If you have a farm here stay with it.

TO the fact that il they were ever to get
Il proper price for their farm produce

recently formed local of the Amer

The farm lands around Weyer-
haeuser are as good as any in the state.
Anything and everything grows we'll in
our soil-none are better SO we urge
all those wanting farms TO come and
Judge for themselves. We should all
boost but never knock.
What is the matter with Weyer-
haeuser? We notice through the col
umns OF the Ladysmith NewsBudget
by the way. one of the best weeklies
in the state-that all towns and sur
rounding farming communities are
well advertised by mention in the news
