u. S. TO TURN BACK
RAILROADS MARCH |.
Proclamation by President Also In
cIudes the Express Lines-Reason
for Delay Is Explained.

Washington, Dec. 25.-President
Wilson announced that the railroads
would be returned to private owner
ship March l.
The president also announced that
the railroad express companies would
be returned at the same time.
In announcing these two decisions
Of the president, Secretary Tumulty
issued the following statement:
Last May, in his message to the
congress-, the president announced
that the railroads would be handed
over to their owners at the end of this
calendar year. 1t is now necessary to
act by issuing the proclamation.
"In the present circumstances, no
agreement having yet been reached
by the two houses of congress in re-
spect to legislation on the subject, 1t
becomes necessary in the public inter-
est to allow a reasonable time to
elapse between the issuing Of the proc
lamation and the date of it's actually
taking effect.
"The railroad and express companies
should be given ample opportunity to
adequately prepare for the resumption
of their business under the control and
management of their own stOckhOld-
ers, directors and officers. Therefore,
the transfer of possession back to the
railroad companies will become effec-
tive at II :01 a. M, March l, 1920"

How to meet the high cost of farm
ing is the Wisconsin farmers biggest
problem for next year. To meet the
high cost Of farming Wisconsin farm
erS should unite on a program that
will aim to better farming methods
and to produce adequate amounts of
farm produce at the lowest possible
cost of production.
The war has swept aside many Of
the usual sources Of supply and de-
mand.
Europe is torn by social conflict.
The whole world is involved in a
strife between labor and capital, and
all forms Of industry, agriculture
alone excepted, are slowing down pro-
duction and still further reducing an
already scant supply Of everything
which the whole world now so badly
needs. How can the farmer play
safe?
There is no question about the de-
mand for it's products. Everybody
is hungry, and the whole world must
eat. In normal times this condition
would assure a ready sale Of his prod
ucts at good prices. But what have
the hungry nations got to buy it
with?
The Farmers Program.
European markets are now con-
trolled, not by demand, but by ability
to buy. This is the uncertain factor
that the farmer must plan to meet.
1t may mean a fall in prices Of prod
ucts which, he has produced at high
cost What, then, can he do? He
should plan.
Cd To meet high labor costs by
making use of the best possible labor
saving machinery.
(2) To meet high feed cost by the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1920-01-01


use of more forage crops high protein
legumes and home grown grains In
stead of purchased feeds.
(3) To meet high production costs
by securing larger production through
use of high-yielding seed grains and
animals bred for production.
az To meet high marketing costs
by buying and selling on the co-opera-
tive plan wherever this can be more
economically done than through the
present channels.
Must Heed Labor Costs.
If by the use of tractor, multi
pie hitch or a milking machine the
farmer can dispense with the services
Of one hired man he reduces his labor
costs accordingly. It will pay the
farmer to give particular attention to
labor costs this year.
If pork can be made more cheaply,
as has already been proved, by grow
ing pigs on pasture and fattening them
on barley and whey, then the farmer
in the cheese district is prepared to
Does bran cost too much? Then the
dairy farmer can find remedy in the
freer use Of legumes like alfalfa and
soy beans. Does it cost more to pro-
duce milk than the farmer can expect
to get out Of it? If so, what shall he
do? Sell his COWS? He can keep down
production costs by growing more
high protein feed and buying less;
and making use of silage for win
ter milk production if he is not al
ready doing so.
Has the price of land gone up? This
increased production cost must be met
by getting more out of the high cost
acre through the use of high-yielding
seed grain.
No Place for Scrubs.
In sympathy with other rising costs,
the price of all stock and dairy cattle
has greatly advanced This is anoth-
er added burden to the mounting costs
of production which can only be met
for production''-ani A dairy
cow producing less than 2OO pounds OF
fat is a liability not an asset, under
present conditions.
Do middlemen take too much toll?
The remedy is not to add still further
to the general unrest by shouting
''profteer" but to act by buying and
selling comparatively whenever costs
Of marketing can be thereby reduced.
The world now has altogether too
many noisy and destructive busy
bodies who find fault with everything
bit have no remedy to propose. This
is anarchy. The farmer cannot afford
to identify himself with this throng.
He can, however, become one Of a
group who actually do things decently
and in order to meet increasing costs
through cooperation. This is states
manship.

Rural Schools Dwindle
in Number as Consol-
idation Gains Ground

The development Of consolidation
Of rural schools in the county this
and the dwindling number OF rural
schools are summarized In a letter
surveying school conditions In the
county, written by County Superin-
tendent c. E. Shut to State Superin-
tendent OF Public Instruction p. e.
McClenahan.
The county superintendent points
out that during the year three con-
solidated districts were organized
and that there are fifteen consolidat-'
ed and three centralized schools
in tho county now. When the
three consolidated schools now be-
ing built are completed there will
remain only forty-six rural schools
in the county. Five to ten years ago
before consolidation began there
were about 200 rural one-room school
houses in the county.
Superintendent Shut reviews the
situation as regards teachers by say
ing that there are only two in the
county with less than a high school
education and that there has been
practically enough teachers the last
two years to supply the demand.
There Is need, he says, OF better
buildings for rural schools but with
sentiment so pronounced for CONSOLE
dation OF schools there is little incii-
nation to improve rural buildings.
The legal limit Of taxation is in
terfering with raising money on
bonds for building consolidated
schools and maintaining them, he
says.
