inches Of the soil plowed and not
cropped would be washed in fifteen
years, while it would require more
than two thousand years to wear
away the surface seven inches if the
land is kept in sod.
Obviously we have not appreciated
the Importance of keeping the land
covered with growing plants or with
stubble or other such material as a
means of preventing surface washing.
Then we have not realized the impor-
lance Of crop rotation as a means Of
saving the soil from mechanical loss.
If landowners would follow the lead
of the county agents in building Man
.gum terraces on all rolling fields, the
heaviest waste through washing
would be Immediately checked. Then
a campaign of filling gullies, of plow-
g more judiciously and cropping
with greater wisdom, and of keeping
the soil filled with organic matter are
all necessary to a reasonably complete
checking of the great waste through
soil washing.-H. J. Waters.

Democrats also will take it up. Peo-
pie will not need to go miles to hear
a candidate make ! five minute talk
from the rear end of train. Or even
if the front porch style of campaign
becomes popular and there is no np-
portunity to chase around the country
to get a glimpse of the candidate, it
will be much easier to sit on the
shady side Of the porch listening to a,
speech than it will be toy read
what the candidates are saying or
how they spend their time before
and after breakfast
If one is not a hard-shelled poll
tician and is uncertain as to what
ticket to vote, the photograph will
|settle the question. Lincoln and
Douglas touring the country on their
joint debates, will be back numbers
compared to the debates that can be
pulled off in your own home. If per-
son wants a real debating contest be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats
all he need do is toeborrow the neigh
boris photograph and turn on both
machines at once. If you happen to
be. a Republican yourself and your
friend thinks he is a Democrat you
might get a Democrat record that is
scratched and the Republicans will
win the debate.
The argument on phonograph
irecord will have more weight than if
Iyou button-hole man on the street
and try to convert him. He won't lis
ten to you on the street, but get him
into the parlor where the women and
children are and he can't help him
self. After you get him inside you
can invite him to stay to dinner and
then have the photograph kept
wound up while he is eating.
It's a great scheme and worthy Of
presidential campaign. To make it
lperfect the publicity managers should
get the candidate to sing also or to
play an Hawaiian guitar.

JOACHIM

Joachim Hohenzollern is reported
to have killed himself" says the
Wichita Eagle.
"This is the first recorded act Of a
member of Wilhelm's family that APP
proaches sanity and good breeding.
According to all reports, Joachim was
the least Objectionable Of the former
kaiser's sons. He was the only one Of
the family who actually went to war.
The others strutted and paraded, well
back of the danger lines, but this
young fellow went in and got himself
wounded.
Joachim mingled somewhat with
the people. Undoubtedly he met
enough truth since the armistice was
signed to convince him that the whole
of civilized humanity looked upon his
family with loathing and contempt.
Possibly he read of the life jacket
with the strand Of hair attached that
was picked up in the Delaware River
the other day, a relic of the Lusitania
massacre. Doubtless German mothers
too, had upbraided him since his fam
lily fell from power, reminding him
that the Hohenzollerns were primarily
responsible for the sad condition of
the Germans and the Staying of mil
lions Of human beings.
'"These things would tend to
hasten some persons toward self
destruction.
''But there is another and COM
polling motive. Joachim was broke.
When it became straightout ques-
ton Of going to work or going to his
eternal abiding place, he chose the lat
ter, probably without much hesitation.
A Hohenzollern will not die if he can
help it, but as between death and
work there is no choice. The do
nothing young prince chose to go and
wait for his father there than to go
out and shock wheat"

BARABOO wins
FROM WAUNAKEE

Baraboo and Waunakee engaged in
the second game of baseball. with
each other Sunday afternoon at Wau-
nakee.. Baraboo won by a score of
3 to l. The Waunakee team tailed
their only score in the fifth inning
when Ryan dropped fly to. center
field. The local nine made one tally
in the second inning and two in the
fifth.
The ninth inning looked good for
Waunakee and the fans when two
men were on bases, one on third and
one on second, but Rice pulled one of
his clever tricks and the hope clouds
all disappeared for the Waunakee ag-
gregation Catcher Rice walked down
to the pitcher, who slipped him the
ball. The next move. found third base
minus it's runner and three men out
Peterson of Madison pitched for
the local team.

Well, Waunakee, two i'll row.

but Jimmie dropped mother.

Baraboo manager before the game,
like the boy in the back lot; ii
I can't pitch I won't play.
They insisted on the ump being 100
per cent Waunakee, but Baraboo
though it ought to be fifty-fifty.
Old Dad Rice pulled some sleight-
of hand stuff and caught Taylor off
Third our next selection please, "As-
leep at the Switch.
Waunakee couldn't find one ball af-
ter the game, and of course nobody
had it but Baraboo, so they insisted
our check be locked a cart wheel and
two bits.
That was the eventful ball in the
ninth inning, Waunakee didn't want
the old thing anyway.
Cannon thought he had knocked a
home run and kept on running until
he ran into the ball on third.
Sticks and other available material
were heaved at the Baraboo coachers
and runners on third Thanks, Wanna
kee, you're true base ball sports.
(They didn't have any pop bottles)
The only real greeting Baraboo got
was when Dad Brausen told us Pete
started playing the "old game" on
the sand lot, and how he got hinged
on the nose one time. Here's to Dad!
The Waunakee players made much
merriment when Lefty Peterson
started to pitch for Baraboo, they
tee-heed, haw hawed and told ma and
pa and their. best girl what wouldn't
they do to Lefty, but when the hooks
and spitters broke over the old pan,

It can be used with safety in every

took it. And say, my object OF this
article is to warn others from doing
likewise. We found nineteen rules,

stretch where the sand was at least
eighteen inches deep and to let a car
pass was almost an impossibility For
tunately we met very few cars. The
track in such soil is uncertain max

This road we travelled before as far
as Friendship. On past Friendship to-
ward Wausau we passed over ten
miles of the same soil, and then the
roads are excellent all the way into
Wausau.
We kindly ask, through the press,
not for our own peneIlt' ror We
won't go there any more" but for
strangers who are touring our beautl-
full state, that no one recommend

And we would like to meet the
Chairman of the State Highway

PREVENTING THE SOIL WASH
ING

Sank county has many hills and
much of the soil is washed away each
year What is carried awav in one
season is insignificant but through a
long time the amount is considerable
In fact the Baraboo hills stood as
mountains at one time and the con-
tinuing washing through the ages has
reduced them to mere Ofuffs.
The Missouri experiment station has
kept careful record for the last three
years Of the amount of soil washed
away from lands of the same slope
when handled in different ways writes
Fl. J. Waters in the Kansas City Star
/ know Of no more important expert
ment than this and none that has
brought more significant results. It
was found that land kept cultivated
and without a crop growing on it
washed a hundred times more rapidly
than similar soil lying alongside,
but in blue grass sod. Land grown in
corn and given the usual cultivation
washed less than one-half as rapidly
as the cultivated field without crop.
but forty times more rapidly than
blue grass sod. Land grown in wheat
was eroded at only one-fifth the rate
of corn land and less than one-tenth
the rate of the bare field. Land on
which was grown a three year rota-
ton Of corn, wheat and clover lost on
1y a fraction as much as it did when
grown in corn continuously.

PLACES BLAME FOR HIGH
PRICE OF SUGAR

Congressman Georga Holden Tink-
ham of Massachusetts blames the
president for the existing high price
of sugar, according to the Congress
ional Record which in part says:
The utter incompetence, ineficien-
cy, and criminal disregard of the in
terests of the people of the United
States by the present administration
and it's agents can find no better il
lustration than in it's mismanage-
ment of the American sugar problem
during the last six months.
The present administration and its
agents have contributed most material
ly to the increased cost Of living and
in some cases have protected rather
than prosecuted the profiteers.
The gross Encouragement of
the sugar problem alone has led to
an increase in the cost of living
to the American people for the
ensuing year of between 100000
600 and 5000, 900, 900, and has been
accompanied by the most atroc-
ious and most shameless profit
teering known in this era of ex-
tortionate oppression.
Sugar was sold uniformly at retail
during most of 1919 at the price of
10 cents and II cents per pound. It
is now being sold at retail at from Is
cents to % cents per pound, and
some in excess of this figure. AS ev-
cry cents increase per pound is an
increase in cost to the American peo-
pie of $180OOO,0O0 per annum, an in
crease of 10 cents is an increase in
price of s9OO,OOO,OOO per annum.
Most of this increase in the
price of this necessity and the
resulting increase in the cost of
living to the American people is
chargeable entirely to the Presi-
dent of the United States and to
his agent, the Attorney General.
During 1919 the Sugar Equalization
Board, of which George Zabriskie was
head and of which corporation the
President of the United States held
all the stock, purchased the Cuban
crop with the consent of the Presi-
dent for 51s cents per pound, and as
a result the cost of sugar at retail in
the United States was 10 cents and
II cents per pound--for the price of
the Cuban crop fixes the price of
sugar in the United States
Last August and last September in
two communications the Sugar
Board warned the Presi-
dent of great shortage in sugar for
1920 and a great increase in the
price of sugar If he did not assent te
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1920-08-19

the purchase of the 1920 Cuban crop,
which the Equalization Board said
could be purchased at 65 cents, be,
cause of an offer by the Cuban Gov
eminent.
Had permission been granted
by the Presidept to do as the Sug
ar Equalization Board advised,
the price of sugar to the American
people for 1920 would have been
but little in advance of that main
tainino during most of 1919. The
resident refused his permission.
The Attorney General on Novem-
Der 8 last, when sugar was selling at
between IL cents and IL cents per
pound at retail, by his own admission,
agreed with the Louisiana sugar pro-
ducers to allow them to charge II
cents and Is cents for their sugar at
the plantation. The Attorney Gen
eral, if he had made no agreement
with the Louisiana sugar produces,
would have kept the price of the Gu
ban crop at a reasonable figure,
whereas by his action the Cuban crop
has advanced to unheard of prices,
from 6k cents per pound to 11k
cents and 121a cents per pound at the
plantation.
George Zabriskie, head of the Sugar
Equalization Board. stated to the
New York Globe on December "a,
and the statement was repeated in
the Literary Digest of January 10,
and has not been contradicted, that
he was helpless to stop "the worst
orgy of profiteering from which the
country has thus far suffered.

PREVENTING FARM WASTE

Facing the danger of a food short
age almost as serious as any that oc-
Cured du.ing the war, we seem TO
AVE forgotten the few simple lessons
in economy which we recently learn
1t is estimated for example that ov-
err one-fourth of all the eggs laid dur
ing the summer months will be allow
ed to spoil or be broken and lost in
handling
! Opinions differ as to whether or not
we shall face a food shortage next
winter. Many fear that we will. With
normal yields, the acreage already
planted to crops it is believed, will
provide enough food to meet the
needs Of the country satisfactorily.
But the margin of safety is narrow
and, with an illfavored season, food
might be so short that rationing even
more stringent than during the war
will be necessary.
Without doubt if the drift of the
people to the city continues and the
shortage of help in the country be-
comes more acute, the time will soon
come when food shortage will be
inevitable In the meantime wastes
in the markets and on the farms
which run into millions Of dollars a
year continue. The waste of eggs just
referred to is a good illustration. 1t
is estimated that more than one-tenth
of the eggs produced in the United
States are lost through decay and
breakage. This is a yearly loss of
more than 10 million cases worth
from 100 million to $50 million dollars
Not alone does this mean a great &6ss
in food, but these eggs though spoiled
for the most part on the farm or il
the country store, are allowed to ge.
into the channels of trade and to bur
den our already overtaxed Transports
ton facilities. 1t requires more than
four freight trains or something over
one hundred cars and four locomo
tives in constant use day and night
the year around to haul these worth
less eggs to market, there to be
thrown away.
The financial loss from spoiled eggs
alone in states like Missouri, Kansas
Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas amounts annually to nearly half as
much as it costs to maintain their
government.
The remedy for this loss is simple and
easy. Providing better henhouses
clean and convenient nests, getting
rid of all the roosters on the place,
gathering the eggs twice daily at this
season of the year and marketing
them at least twice a week is all that
is required.
Buyers may help materially in rem
edying this situation by insisting upon
Gambling all eggs purchased and thus
eliminating the defective ones at the
original source. In many states laws
have been passed requiring all eggs to
be candled when purchased. The place
to head off this big waste is on the
farm and in the country store. H. J.
