Villas County Agriculture.

Villas county has many valuable
farms, The farmers are eager to pro-
duce good crops. They work the soil
a great deal in order to make it fer
tile so that crops will have better
chances in growing. Villas county has
unusually good soil, consequently the
crops cannot help but be abundant.
The farmers have realized the i'm
portance of agriculture and what it
does for the community. Each and
every farmer strives to produce bet
ter crop than his neighbor. This fos-
tiers a strong community spirit and
brings out the best in crop produc-
ton.
ButJer-making is important in this
northern county. The butter is made
at the Eagle River Coop. Creamery
from the cream that has been sup
piled by the farmers. The pastures
afford good feed for the cattle
during the summer months while
the farmers raise enough clover for
feed in winter.
Some farmers also raise sheep be-
cause they can live very cheaply.
They are of great benefit to the
modern farmer in almost every re-
spect. First, sheep help the farmer
TO clear his land. This they do by
breaking trees, and eating the shrubs
very close to the ground. Second,
the sleeps wool is very expensive.
Their wool grows rapidly SO that the
farmer is rewarded when the annual
clipping season comes. The wool
is woven into wearing apparel ma
terial. In this way the farmer is
progressing by making his own cloth
ing
That Villas County is an agricultu-
raj district has been shown al the
fairs that have been held here. Crops
of all sorts have been exhibited from
all parts of the county. Potatoes
have been the most abundant crop.
That crops have been improved
was shown at the fair held at Des
Moines. Mr. Ed Martinson of Como
yer won first prize on potatoes. This
shows how rapidly Villas county is
improving as farming district
Every farmer is trying his best to
raise the most suitable crops for this
country.
We can be proud of the farms we
have but we hope to improve them.

Winter Recreation.

The young people must have some
provisions for winter recreation. Af-
ter being in school all day, they
would, appreciate some out door
sport very much. Skating, coasting,
and skiing are good sports for winter
recreation.
The one sport that am particu-
larly interested in, is skating. The
fair grounds, when flooded, will
make suitable skating rink. The
flooding of these grounds will not be
a great expense to the community,
for the water from the mains can be
turned on it. The subsoil is of clay,
so the water will easily stay on its
surface. Another reason for using
the fair ground, is that it is very lev
ell, and open, SO the snow cannot
drift. If little snow does fall on it,
the hose can be turned on, and the
water left to freeze.
This skating rink, besides being
large enough, is also close enough to
town to be made use of by every one.

Our New Industry.

Aside from the new high school,
the lath mill is the next important
topic of discussion for the citizens of
Eagle River. This new industry has
grown rapidly out of plans less than
year old and we should be glad that
our town has been chosen for the To-
cation of this mill.
The mill will be located at the site
of the Mckenzie planning mill west of
town, and will employ eighteen men
for eight or nine months in the year.
The wood which before was burned
when the farmer cleared land, will be
saleable at this mill for six dollars
cord in 40 inch lengths. Is this not
profitable? Four thousand cords of
lath per year will be produced from
this scrap wood.
To have this mill we are asked to
save electricity as it is to be the
power used in the mill. This con-

Eagle River in 1925.

We are entering the city of Eagle
River by the state road, which we
once knew as the county road.
AS far as our eyes can see, things
have changed immensely. The roads
are greatly improved, and the seem
cry along them much better; instead
OF brush and swamp, we see level
fields of growing grain.
But what is that large building
yonder? We learn from small boy
that it is Eagle Rivers new high
school. The old one, so he tells us,
is housing the grades alone. On the
grounds Of this new building are ten
mis- courts and basket ball equipment
People are playing these games now,
We leave the school and motor
through the streets. We come to
the post-office but it is not the post
office that we knew. 1t is larger,
and there are more employees than
ever before On the old 'burnt cor
ner," a pleasing sight greets our eyes.
There stands large, gray, stone
building. Thru the display windows,
we see all models of cars. This is
the Strong g Marley garage. A
large depoti is just across the street.
1t has been rebuilt and looks very
modern. Eagle River has certainly
been improving.
We motor down the street and see
that a new bridge has been erected.
1t is of very modern construction.
Across the bridge, we see growing
crops, and farmers clearing land.
Eagle River has greatly developed it's
| agricultural industry.
We leave town and carry wish to
come again. Our trip has certainly
been rewarded by seeing these i'm
proyements LANGILL.

Rural Free Delivery.

The country surrounding Eagle
River is a prosperous farming dis
trict. It possesses excellent farm
lands, good farms, and fine roads. It.
lacks one important feature, "a Ru-
raj Free Delivery Route" What
could be done to bring the district
more up to date than the introduce
tion of this modern improvement?
Communities of even smaller size
than ours have installed this system.
This territory will not be an up-to
date farming district until this i'm
provement has been brought about.
The vicinity surrounding Rhinelan-
der has such service. Does not this
community deserve it as we'll?
Free delivery is provided for the
tourists on the lower Eagle Chain
and also on the lakes at Phelps. This
is done daily by motor boat. If the
tourists, who spend only short
time in this section, are provided
with this convenience, is it more
than right that the farmers who are
making this country what it is to-
day, agriculturally, should enjoy this
improvement?
The excellent roads out of Eagle
River would make it an easy matter
to deliver the mail daily by automo-
bile. Two routes could be provided
to handle this work, one running
north and west of town. the other
east and south of the village.
The introduction of such routes
would be an inducement to settlers
to come and take up farming in this
section. In this way the country
would not only be improved but
more thickly settled as well.- Ed

Public Park.

Would public park beneficial to
Eagle River? / think SO. It would
be an excellent place for the Office
men and laborers to spend their eve
nings and Sundays. The children
would enjoy the park and it would
keep them away from the dangers of
the street. Community meetings and
band concerts could be held here. A
place of recreation is what all the
people of Eagle River wish and pub
lie park would serve the purpose. If
this park was kept clean and attract
i've it would induce the people in the
town to keep the surroundings clean
and attractive. Tourists coming into
Eagle River, and finding no accomo-
dations at either hotel or resort, pass
thru our town and go on to places
where they can get Accommodations. If
a place was cleared for the erecting
of tents, fireWood furnished, place
for the parking of cars, a well dug, so
that fresh water could be easily OBJ
tanned, and a place near by where
they could purchase all their provis-,
ions and necessities, these tourists
would not have to leave here to get
places where they can find resort
for they could camp on these grounds
until room was found in either hotel
or resort for them. They would will
lingly pay for the use of the building
where they parked their cars. They
would be helping the merchant by

Our New Industry.

The new lath mill Of Eagle River
is located west of the depot in a
building which is being fitted for
this purpose.
The new industry is of much i'm
portance to the community. Many
of the farmers seem to realize the
Importance of it. The statement
is made that thirty thousand lath
will be the daily capacity. The
farmers receive seven dollars cord
for the pine wood cut in forty-nine
inch lengths. Lath can be made
from wood that otherwise would be
of no use at all, such as the tops of
trees which are left after the logging
is done. The mill in Eagle River
provides market for this wood.
This mill is not only of value to
the farmers but is a benefit to the
town folks as we'll. The young men
could easily fill the vacancies for the
needed help. This would give them
work at home. The mill would run
at least eight or nine months q year
and if furnished with enough mater
ial, it would provide the men with
steady work the whole year.
The people however must do their
share toward helping. That is by
temporary conservation of electricity
There are no meters in Eagle
River although many towns smaller
than this are provided with them.
The new water wheel to be put in. at
the power plant will give free use of
the current as before. An industry
of this kind tends much to the
growth of the community.-OLIvE

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1920-02-13
By EVELYN HEDBERG.

We all know that Eagle River is
greatly in need of a new high school.
The sooner one is built the better
conditions will be for the whole COM
munity. The number of new pupils
who will enter the high school next
year will make the present building
very crowded.
Plans should be made very soon for
the erection of new high school. 1t
will probably cost one hundred thous-
and dollars to put up a well con-
structed building, but it certainly is
worth the expense.
A large assembly room is absolutely
necessary where arrangements can be
made for moving picture screen.
During general exercises different
slides can be tried which will make
the whole school interested. The as
sembly must have sanitary adjustable
seats and desks. 1t would be well to
have an auditorium, but the assem-
bly, would probably serve that pur-
pose. Thu expense of an auditorium
could be given over to something else
that would benefit the school more.
A gymnasium is needed that is
equipped with all up-to-date necessi-
ties. 1t must contain five or six show
er baths for all modern high schools
have them.
BY having a new high school more
subjects can be undertaken, especially
full courses in domestic science and
manual training. The building should
