ALONG NICELY Is
HOSPITAL REPORT.
Hugh Lewis Probably the
Most Badly Hurt; Parents of
. Miss Dunn Arrive Here II

Inquiry at the hospitals today re-
vealed the fact that those who were
hurt in the automobile accident near
Wilbur on the Phantom canon high
way were getting along quite as well
as could be expected in consideration
of the frightful experience to which
they were subjected. All are, how.
ever, suffering the nervous SHOCK
they sustained as the car in which
they were riding at the time shot over
the cliff and hurled them into Phan.

Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Dunn OF Brigh-
ton. Colo. parents of Miss Cascade
Dunn. who was among the injured, ar
rived here on a late train Monday
night. expecting to take their daugh-
ter home today but found her condi-
ton such as to preclude her removal
from the hospital for several days.
Mrs. Dunn will remain here until her
daughter is able to make the trip to
Brighton. Miss Dnnn is % years of
age and is graduate of the high
school at Brighton. She has been
engaged to teach in the public schools
of her home town this year.
Miss .Junn, and Miss Tressie Wig
CLINTON, who was killed, were chums.
and were making a pleasure trip
through this part of the state when
the accident happened. Miss Wig
CLINTON. who is also a graduate of the
Brighton high school. was 23 years of
age and has for a number of years
been employed as printer in the
composing room of the Brighton Reg
ister Both young ladies were very
popular in Brighton, and the an
nouncement of the accident produced
great excitement there. George Wig
CLINTON, father of the dead gir', arrived
here in company with Mr.. and Mrs.
Dunn Monday night and will take the
body to Brighton this evening or on
Wednesday morning for burial. Miss
Dunn is a member of the Rebekahs
and of the Women of Woodcraft. as
was also Miss Wigginton. The mem
bers of those orders here extended
every courtesy to the relatives of the
unfortunate young women.
Hugh Lewis of Greenville, KY. an
other of the injured in Monday morn
ing's accident, is suffering from a
number of ugly cuts and bruises and
is. perhaps. the most seriously hurt
of any of the survivors. Mr.. Lewis
is at the Holmes hospital. Mrs. w

juries would permit. 1t is believed
that the condition of all of the injured
will warrant their release from the
hospital in the course of the next few

THE HUMBLE HOG

"Without hogs Chicago would be a
prairie village, Kansas City barren
hill and Omaha ferry crossing. Take
away the brood sow and our wheels of
commerce would cease to turn
Perhaps no one has ever paid higher
tribute to the humble hog than f. ID.
Coburn. a native Of Jefferson county,
Wisconsin, who for years was secretary
of the Kansas State Board of Agricul-
ture And even this widely known
farming authority didn't begin to APP
preciate the important role which the
porker would play in the worlds his
tory Mr.. COburn has seen him as the
mortgage raiser, and as an important
factor in commerce. Little did he think
that some day the fate of nations might
hang upon product in the production
of which the hog has no superior.
1t was Herbert Hoover, America S
food administrator, who said Every
pound of fat is of as much service as a
bullet Every hog is of greater value
to the winner of the war than a shell.
Animals as important as the hog are
safeguards"

HIGHEST PRICED LAND

Why will the land of Rusk county
OutSell land in the corn belt south of
here in the course of time? These
prairie lands are being farmed to the
limit, and crops are removed without
returning as much fertility as is taken
away from the soil. Towns of 700 pop
ulatiOn are without creamery or cheese
factory. Corn and hogs is the slogan
there. and that program will not meas
ure up with the dairy cow in keeping
up fertility. Here is the secret of Rusk
county's big crops. The fields are small,
and as the clearing is pushed back the
land is heavily MANFRED. Glover is al
most always raised in excess of other
crops. and make the soil rich by gather
ing nitrogen from the air. Little grain
is sold from our farms. but grain with
high concentrated feeds, is fed on the
farm Our soil is equally as rich as
the best soil in the corn belt, and we
are making it better by the dairy COW,
while their land is running out by the
grain route.

WATCH FOR WART DISEASE
TO KEEP 1T OUT OF STATE

wisconsin hasn't got it !; lets keep it
out"
Summed up. this is the attitude OF
the Wisconsin Experiment Station to-
ward the potato wart disease, which
made its appearance in this country in
1918. The only way to forestall serious
losses is to find the warty potatoes that
develop in any backyard garden, truck
patch, or farm field.
The first signs of wart, says w. H..
Wright, who has been inspecting fields
in upper Wisconsin. are small spongy
outgrowths on the potato, especially at
the eyes These increase in size and
may become as large as the potato it
self Sometimes number of warts
form at different places on the same
tuber. causing the whole potato to be-
come a sp0ngy, Warty mass. At first
the warts are light brown and then turn
darker. finally becoming black. These
tubers often rot in the field and are eX-
tremely susceptible to rot in storage.
Keep watch at digging time for pota-
toes with warty grOWthS ask expert
ment station officials, and report all
suspicious cases and send specimens to
your county agent or to the Wisconsin
Experiment Station, Madison.

BARLEY INSTEAD OF OATS
TO INCREASE FEED SUPPLY

That Wisconsin dairy farmers can
well afford to increase their barley &C.
reage even at a sacrifice of the Oat crop
is the opinion of c. b. Mortimer Of the
College of Agriculture Mr.. Mortimer
asserts that an acre of barley produces,
on an average, nearly 800 pounds more
of digeStible feed than oats does.
A ten-year average for the two crops
shows that Wisconsin oats yielded 35.4
bushels and barley $50 bushels, but
with weight of 81 pounds bushel for
oats and 4S pounds a bushel for barley,
the total yield is 1923 pounds of oats
as compared with 1882 pounds of bar
80 per cent hull and barley only Is per
cent makes the difference still greater
The total weight of berry on the acre
Of oats is 1926 pounds of barley;
1892 pounds.
Analysis Of the berries of the two
grains shows, in addition, that 1914 per
cent of the barley grain is digestible,
as compared with 70.4 per cent of oats.
On the basis of acre yield this indicates
55S.24 pounds of digestible oats to the
acre and 936.22 pounds Of digestible
barley.
While it is true, says Mr.. Mortimer,
that barley requires more specific con-
ditions of the soil than oats, it is well
known that much of the acreage put in
to oats in Wisconsin would produce eX-
cellent yields of barley. In addition,
oats is more uncertain crop than bar
ley. largely because of its lodging. which
means both loss of crop and extra labor.
The fact that the oat crop ripens from
two to three weeks later than barley
entails greater risks in harvesting, be-
cause of possible bad weather. Some
times twice as much time is required for
the Oat harvest.

READ THESE ARTICLES

There are three articles in this is
sue, one on hogs. one on barley. and one
on potatoes, from the State College of
Agriculture, that are well worth your
time reading.
The feeding value of barley is greatly
increased by grinding, and soaking
from feed to feed. For cows. cotton
seed meal, or oil meal, should be used
as balance to make a proper ration,
but for hogs, skim milk is the best. In
case the skinned milk does not reach.
a high grade GO per cent tankage or
meat meal makes the fastest and
cheapest gains. Use one pound of tank
age against ten pounds of barley for
growing pigs. and less for old hogs.
Don't soak tankage as it causes fermen-
tation. and does no good. Soak oil meal
not more than an hour, as it develops
a poison if soaked for twenty-four
hours or more.

point The little old red school house
is again reality as the one on this road
has been painted that color. We drove
northwest until we struck the Bruce

to see the new homes going in on this
road Turning north we saw several
new barns of the latest type. and a few
new houses one of them is lathed out
side for stucco or pebble-dash finish.
This was our first visit to EXeland and
we were very favorably impressed with
the little town. EXeland has a large
territory to draw from. and her farmers
are a contented lot, even the wives we
talked to are enthusiastic about their
farms Our time was all too short, but
