LANES NORRIS

James Norris was born in Perry
county, Chic, October 8, 1888 At the
age of sixteen he moved with his par
ents to Wisconsin ard for four years
lived on a farm near VirOdua. In
1853 the family moved to Webster
township, where together with his
brother Jerome, they braved the hard
ships of pioneer life, and carved for
themselves a farm from the virgin
forest. In August 1875 he was mar
ried to Harriet Patterson. This union
was blest with six sons, Norval, Je-
rome, Ray and Halle, and the twins,
Chester and Lester, who died in early
childhood. He had always enioyed
excellent health during his long life of
usefulness until very recent years
when age with its infrmities began
to tell upon his strength. Gradually
and with reluctance, he laid aside the
cares and burdens of active farming
leaving to his younger son, Halle, the
responsibility of caring for the old
home. He was taken sick Saturday
evening, January 3lst, and suffered
severely for few hours when his pain
ceased, and though restless, he was
in his usual cheerful frame of mind
until he quietly breathed his last. a,,d
went to sleep like a tired child at ] go
a. m. Monday, February 2, at the age
of 81 years, 3 months, Is days. He
was the ninth in a family of eleven
children, all of whom have preceded
him with the exception of one sister
Margaret Gillispie of Viroqua. The
bereaved wife with the four sons and
two grandchildren are left TO feel the
loss of a kind husband and father,
while a wide circle of relatives and
friends will cherish his memory. His
life has ever been an open book and
his friends are numbered only by his
acquaintance. Funeral services were
held at the home Wednesday, Febru-
airy A, and the remains laid to rest in
the Starr cemetery, there to await the
coming of the Lifegiver.

The state of Kansas is the first
one to establish an industrial court.
The law creating this court denies the
right to strike in essential industries,
but sets up court to try and enforce
the rights Of both employer and en-
ployee. The adoption of this law was
signal for an immediate strike of 400
Kansas miners as a protest against
the law. The union leaders opposed
the strike, declaring it was not called,
and the miners received no support.
The Kansas court is an experiment
that viii be watched by all states. In
all agricultural states the need of such
court is undoubted; if it will work
out well, is to be demonstrated by ex-
perience.

Hnlsfeins

We are going to have a county with
good pure bred cattle in it before long
and it behooves the lover of scrubs to
wake up and take notice that his love
is not returned, as the scrub is de-
ceiving him and he win continue to
deceive him as long as he is loved to
the extent that the farmer keeps him.
No, we are all going to have purebred
sires before long Get in line for one.
Mr.. Schroeder got his purebred herd
down in Illinois and is very highly
pleased with them. He purchased the

$2200.00 and thinks it bargain. Hol-
stems are selling for much more than
that, at the public sales, so it must
be he got them very reasonable.

Farm Labor Shortage

This will undoubtedly be another
year with a scarcity of farm labor.
Farmers who have large farms and
who are short OF sufficient labor should
try and raise the crops and live stock
that will give him the greatest returns
for the amount of labor available.
We know that much can be done
in making the years work easier by
having self feeders for the market
hogs. In the harvesting of corn, a
silo helps in the labor situate to har-
vest the part OF the field that goes
into the silo If most of the cows
freshen in the fall of the year, the
heavy milk flow comes in the winter
and relieves the farmer of so much
milking in the late summer. A little
all around supervision and managing
will tend to save many steps during
the year.
American farmers today do over
three times as much per man as do
European farmers because we use ma
chinery and plan our work better.
However, we have much room to man.
age for better profits. One thing all
farmers should take great care to
bring about this year, and that is to
ship that scrub bull off from the farm.
because he stops progress.
