3. @. DahTs Tobacco Cron

| D. Y. DdnlS Tobacco Crop
Mr.. Dahl near Springville has the
right to be proud of his tobacco crop.
because it is the best field that has
been seen this year. Mr.. Dahl took
special pains in preparing the field.
He covered the field with barnyard
manure, plowed about three inches
deep and then replowed It eight inches
deep. Flowing it twice left the field
IN a very fine loose condition. The
loose mulch helped to conserve the
moisture and the variety of tobacco
that Mr.. Dahl has developed has made
wonderful growth thus far. He feels
that his tobacco has responded splend-
idly to the careful preparation of the
soil and that he is more than repaid
for the large amount of work that he
has put on it. Mr.. Dahl is not only a
tobacco raiser but also a tobacco breed
er and the inventor of the only tobac-
co sizer that works successfully in this
country. With the shortage of labor.
Mr.. Dahl is receiving many inquiries
about his tobacco sizing machine.
1T more men will concern themsel-
YES about their crops and the improve
ment of them and extend the same
care to the live stock, Vernon county
can be made the greatest county in the
state Of Wisconsin,. We have the soil
that will raise abundant crops-yaI-
leys with numerous freshets to pas
ture our livestock, woodlands that fur
nlsh protection and supply much lum-
Der and fuel, wild fruit tnat helps fill
the cellars with preserves and wild
flowers and birds that make this
paradise. We have the Mississippi
along the west; beautiful valleys lead
ing from it to the rich rolling uplands,
and towards the east we have the
Kickapoo and other streams that add
to the beauty of this county. Yet
with all this grandeur and the inspir-
atlons of nature that ever and ever
reveal the touch of the hand of the AL
mighty, we allow scrub cattle to Craze
upon our pastures and sow grain that
IS of like nature to grow upon our
rich fields, and then wonder why we do
not make more money. Now is the
time to look and see what the pure
bred seed grains are doing and the
growth of the pedigreed corn; now is
the time to get that pure bred sire to
head your herd; now is the time to
put yourself on the basis that will
without fail give you more pleasure,
wealth, beauty and comfort for all the
rest Of your life. It is not too late
to get better livestock, which means
better living.
Let each one of us see what we can
do to make our county fair bigger and
better. We also want to get some
sheaths and grain samples to send to
the state fair We want to prove to
the state and to ourselves that we are
living in a county second to, none in
the state. Let us back up the things
that make a better county. BOOST!
There is another thing we wish to
consider right here, and that is the
state law III reference to handling the
bulls on the farm. The state law re-
quires that no bull over six months old
shall be allowed to run at large or in
any pasture with the rest of the herd.
This is to insure life and stop any dan
ger of doing damage to your neigh
boris property. This law refers to the
pure bred as we'll as the scrub Any
farmer who finds a bull over six
months old running in adverse to
this law can tie up or pen up the same
and collect S. and all damages above
that. Let us not lay ourselves liable,
and furthermore, let US protect life
and our neighbors against any gross
damages.
