KILLING QUACK GRASS

Herman Decker, who is on his sec
ond year on the Corbett farm south OF
Ladysmith, is doing a good job of fall
blowing with view Of killing out the
quack which has a good hold Of that
farm. This dry weather is the ideal
time to go after quack, and it don't take
long to kill it if man is thorough
with the operation and keeps it from
leafing out after blowing. The writer
killed fifty acres Of it one year and
raised a big crop of corn at the same
time. That was the cold, wet season
of 1907, the year we had no summer
We farmed the hills only, of quarter
section that had grown together solid
with quack. We broke it in the fall
as thin as possible then disced it in
the spring. Then we plOwed it twice
as deep as before, we disced it and
dragged it and then planted corn just
deep enough to cover and with four
horses on fOur-shovel riding cult
vator ploWed it again, and as we had
one section of drag tied behind we
had it smooth when we were done.
Then we cross-dragged it twice and
cultivated four times. We worked two
teams changing in planting and plOw-
ing. Quack roots spread evenly over
the entire field and were brown and
dead and soon rOtted into fertility,
which paid for the extra work.

IOWA MAN TO RETURN
TO LAND OF THE FREE

Donald BouStead, who owns 40 acres
of land on the Bruce road, adjoining
his fathers farm on the east, is down
near Sioux Rapids, Iowa, this fall
running threshing engine. In let
ter home he stated that he would re-
turn to his land here satisfied to stay
The crops in Iowa, while good would
not pay the carrying charges OH the
present valuations of land. or the rent
asked. The rent is SIS to $50 per
acre, and he says he pities the men
and their families who pay or try to
pay that rent. Iowa cash leases read
to cover the renters property used or
kept OH the farm as lien for the rent,
and they not only work for nothing
but the sheriff cleans them up when
they get through. The landlord car
ries them from year to year, but the
result is the same in the end unless
they do the impossible, and pay up all
their rent. When man gets behind
once he never catches up on his back
rent.
When the farm editor rented for cash
in Iowa, we took the pen and drew a
line through those clauses that tied us
up, body and soul for the privilege OF
working another mans farm, and we
wrote in clause that in event of crop
! failure the landlord would return tC
us our notes cancelled. They used tC
put up a game scrap on that point but
the writer never failed to talk them
over into signing the lease as the wri
ter fixed it, which is the only fair way
and which shows what farmers could
do if they would hold together and
quit bucking each other in renting
| land.
Iowa land sharks are driving theil
farmers away from the land at q

OLD TIMERS PREDICTED
$50 LAND Is YEARS AGO

Charles Erdman, who has been i'll
ST. Mary's hospital since a week ago
Thursday taking treatment for a game
leg was up town for a short outing
Tuesday morning. The farm editor
had talk with him and he said he
was lonesome for the farm, and didn't
like being confined, and rejOiced over
the fact that his leg was getting better.
Mr. Erdman says that he ran the
section at Bruce for five years but quit
twenty-four years ago to go onto his
160-acre farm that he agreed to pay
$3.50 for, running in debt for most of
it at the time. Jack LindOO loaned him
his team and wagon free of charge to
move out with and he started in with
no horses, COWS or money. All he had
was his household goods and family.
No roads and heavy timber was the
order Of the day then and the desire
to own a farm home Of their own was
the biggest asset the family had with
the one exception of good health.
People in town predicted that he
would soon starve out and return to
on the farm and, that was all he made
in town so he stuck to it,
George Churchill was over one day
IS years ago to help do some clearing
and made the remark that land would
| be worth $50 per acre some day, but
| it seemed to be big price to those old
timers then. Now with wild land
ii price of $50 per acre is not uncOm-
mon and improved farms are worth UP
to $3.50 per acre, showing that MI.
Churchills prediction has more than
come true and the end is not yet as
prices will continue to advance.
MI. Erdman says he made his liv-
ing by hard work and his money on the
raise in the value of his land. Had
he stayed in town he would have had
nothing to keep him in his old age.

ENTHUSIASTIC
WOMAN FARMER
After Farming In Other States,
Thinks Rusk County Soil
Beats All

On our rounds, week by week, we
come in contact with all kinds of peO-
pie who have cast their lots on Rusk
county farms, and who are meeting
with greater or lesser amount or
success.
If we were asked to tell just who is
the most enthusiastic farmer in Rusk
county we would say without hesita-
-tiOn that it is Mrs. A. s. BOustead, who
lives with her husband and family on
the Bruce road just before the high
way crosses the railroad.
Coming from Iowa, July IL, last
wear. the BOusteads moved onto the
farm they had purchased through Hill
& Sergent, and secured the crops
growing on the place for $225 addi-
tiOnal to the purchase price of the
land Fourteen rows OF potatoes III
the garden furnished them with spuds
until fall, and then they dug fourteen
bushels to put in the cellar. An acre
yielded go bushels and brought over
$500: a patch of beans brought 500.
Besides the other garden crops there
was SOOu DUIICu VI nay anu NoAh'
There were II acres cleared, and
Mr.. BOustead is clearing seven acres
more this year. which he will ploW
and get ready for next years crops.
He was up against it with some big
stone and the writer told him to take
a couple of stout fence posts and fasten
one end of them together with chain,
leaving them spread about foot. To
the other end he could fasten log
chain and run this chain to the while
trees. so that he could open them UP
like a pair of shears without the han
dies. He could lay these poles down
along side of the stone, astraddle OF it.
and with a crOwbar he could easily lit
the stone off of the ground so as to
give it q chance to ride. then by start
ing his team he would have pair OF
Skids that should run nearly parallel
and in that way he could take the
stone off the field without much diff
Guilty. There is an easy way to do a
lot of the work Of clearing land if we
only study it out.
Mr.. BOustead sold $130 worth of pc
tatoes from less than One-tifth of al
acre of land this summer and has more
left. His other crops are good.
