was seen In all the larger cities OF
this country the past two years. NAM
moth spectacles OF this kind have
practically become an institution on

know any fear as to the success of
such venture. for the public has
consistently made a dead set at all
such entertainments. swampinE tho

this production. as he did in "Thc

Incidentally Mecca" will cost altno II
four times what II took TO produce

vided for It. "Chu Chin CHOW" cost but

"Aphrodite," the last spectacle. cost

WHO PAYS?

A section of unimproved prairie land
OH the Poverty Flats, southeast of
AlgOna, Iowa. was sold to land Specu-
lators year ago for $40 per acre
1t was recently sold to other land specu-
lators for 1925 per acre, which made
the first spectators $50 per acre or
$50 600 profit, less their expense and
carrying charges.
What the present owners intend to
do with the land, we do not know.
They will surely not go out on it and
try and raise produce from it to make
some honest money, as it would not
pay interest and taxes on the present
Investment. There are no buildings
or fences and the land has been hayed
for % years and nothing has ever been
put back 1t is indeed a wonderful tri
butte to the building-up powers of grass,
for this land to produce anything at all.
Some farmer will have to pay, and
with him the consumer will suffer for
their speculative prices on land. Every
time land goes up in spectators
hands. it means that the farmer has
got to pay just that much more for
expenses before he can have anything
left to live on or to give his hard-wOrk-
ed wife new dress.
There is one thing these farmers can
do. and that is to come TO RuSk county.
where land is selling at less than actual
value and almost all farmers sOWn and
operate their own farms
Compare this to rented farms III the
older sections and you have condition
that will show it's advantages more and
more as the years go by.
A farmers best friend is cheap land.
and when prices are pushed up beyond
where they belong, he has little or no
chance to play winning game. The
land spectators of Iowa have made
more money Juggling Iowa farms than
was ever made by growing produce on
them.

THIS EXELAND FARMER
MADE A GOOD SHOWING

III M. Boyd, who yves three miles
northeast of Exeland, was in Ladysmitl
Wednesday, having some dental work
DONE
Mr.. Boyd has owned his 64-acre farm
five years and has it all cleared but
twelve acres, and has started to clean
that. He has stumped eleven acres of
land this spring, half of which has
corn on it, which was planted June
first and is now foot high. The bal
ance will be seeded to fall rye and grass
this fall He has four acres of speltz,
and the balance of his cleared land is
in meadow.
Mr.. Boyd has seven milk cows, four
yearling heifers and five heifer calves.
All but one calf are high-grade Guern-
seys. He will replace these cattle
gradually until nothing but pure-breds
are kept on the place.
Three horses furnish the farm power,
and a yearling colt is growing up to
take his part when old enough.
Only one SOW and pig are kept. The
balance of the litter were lost.
A house, 16x32 and 12X16, and barn,
3SX60 are supplied with running water
There is drive way through the CEN
ter of this barn SO that it is cleaned
daily into the spreader and hauled di-
rectly to the field. The hay is put
down at the sides of the barn and trap
doors are provided for use in cold
weather. Mr.. Boyd says lie likes the
plan of his barn and would not think
of changing it so the cows face the
center. Half of the barn has stan
chiOns and half is used for a calf pen.
Two boys are now big enough to help
with the work. The work of Mr.. Boyd
scores well up with the highest. in
of acres cleared and quality of
put up on a piece of land that
was strictly wild five years ago.

FEW CATTLE ON FEED

Farmers who usually feed cattle and
hogs for the market, are not gong III
to the game this year. They remem-
Der their losses of last year and are
declining to have anything TO do with
cattle feeding now. This causes the
blow to fall on the men who are pro-
ducing stOcker cattle which develop
into feeders. Their pastures are full
and no buyers are showing up who will
give them anywhere near the cost of
production.
This is serious condition, and will
have to work out its own solution. Ii
the men who raise the stOckers are
forced out of business, it will take a
long time to get the country back on
a normal meat basis The farmer on
high-priced land is turning his grain
onto the market where a bushel of oats
is worked into Oat meal and sold back
to us at seven cents per pound, and the
corn is being worked up into meal and
high-priced cereals Selling grain
brings profit on farming at the pres
ent prices, but the figures are mislead-
ing. as the fertility lost by the process
of grain farming is not often taken
into consideration.
There is one thing sure: farms will
have to keep livestock or lose their
ability to produce good crops, and
when land once becomes run out, there
| is no profit in bringing it back.
On this issue the Rusk county farm
er is the least concerned of any farmer
| we know Of He has his dairy herd and
grows his calves on the finest kind of
clover. It's the man on the high-prlced
prairie farms that will suffer, as he
farms by the method that always draws
on his supply of fertility, and under
the present system, he will soon come
to the end of his rope
