ANOTHER NEW BARN

j. f. Senff, who lives seven miles

northwest of Tony, and had his mind
set to move to Iowa, has after several

SOME MIDDLEMEN

DR.. O'Connor has his ideas about
farms and farming and he gave us
some of them Saturday. He said that
the men who came. to the county around
Tony wears ago worked III the mill at
mill wages. Some of them continued
to work in mills and at other employ
ment and have little TO show for 1t
today. Others settled on small farms
and were so poor for the first few
wears that they could not pay anything
they owed. The stuck to it and all who
did now have farms that are worth
enough to make their owners mde-
pendent They now pay their bills like
clock work from their cream checks
and farm produce. He says farmers
have to organize and eliminate the
middlemen.
He told Of farmer who. at a BIG
EXPENSE. produced $4,000 worth OF
onions one year in Minnesota lie
made no money on them but the middle
man he sold to cleared up $500 on
those onions. He says that $500 be-
longpd TO the farmer. and he believes
the time is near when the farmer is
Going to get his profit himself through

CLEAR EASIEST
LANDS FIRST
Sam Johnson Gives His Ideas on
Best Policy For the New
Settler

Sam Johnson has proven to be a
very practical and successful farmer.
As his farm that he recently sold is one
of the best in the county, we asked him
70 give us his ideas on land clearing.
lie said a settler should start on the
easiest cleared land first. and when he
has that seeded down 10 grass he
should cut his green timber and pile
or Windr0w the brush and burn it off,
turc for six or seven years. When
there is nothing but brush it can be
plowed up sooner if desired
Cattle trampng over land subdueS
il and makes it fertile SO when it is
plowed up it produces a good crop.
Burning makes Il fine place for seed
10 catch when SOWed broadcast. y new
settler should never try to pillow a piece
If green timber land the first few
wears after ii has been cut off. Men
who follow this system here generally
succeed if they Will work, and failures
are caused for the reason that men
vino do not understand conditions here
want to pillow and finish the clearing
process as they go The result is that
they do not get hay and pasture
enough to keep their stock and if
crops do not pay we'll they get discour-
aged
Without plowS the prairie states
would still be unsettled, and without
dynamite there would be few farms i'll
northern Wisconsin. Still plowS and
dynamite used too soon have caused
more failures ON cut-over land than
anything else except possibly lack OF
sufficient working capital.

is hard for anyone to move Off from

They have to go by boat TO the Wis

ably live in this city until spring when
