REDUCE STANDARD OF
B. T. u. IN WIS. GAS

Wisconsin Gas companies last week
were granted permission to reduce
from 600 to 500 the number of British
thermal units in a cubic foot of gas.
In granting the request the Wisconsin
Rate commission assures the gas con-
Stunning public that in its opinion the
reduction will be of benefit to con-
sumers and at the same time will be
a conservation of raw materials. The
public is also assured by the COM
mission that in the event that the re-
duction in B. T. units does affect gas
service adversely the commission will
Immediately order the standard put
back to its former number.
In speaking of the change H. C.
Hummell, manager of the local gas
plant, said that the reduction in the
standard of British thermal units will
materially assist in giving better gas
service to people in Wausau, and that
the quality of gas will in no way be
lowered.
Reading between the lines of the
decision handed down by the commits
sion it appears evident that when the
standard of British thermal units was
set at 600 by the commission there
was no real authority to go by and
the commission admits that it has
maintained higher standard in Wis
cOnsin than the average throughout
the country.

LAND CLEARING SCHOOLS
SCHEDULED NEXT WEEK

Five one-day Land Clearing schools
have been accorded to Marathon coun-
ty by the College of Agriculture
These will be conducted at the fol-
lowing points the week of Sept. 21-25:
Glandon, Sept. 81; Plover Sept. %
on field near the town hall; Gallo
way, Sept. %; Ashley Sept "a, Mary
Janik's farm; Green Valley, Sept. rs,
Arthur Hills farm, 2 miles west of
Green Valley town hall.
Practical labor saving, dynamite
saving methods will be demonstrated
by John Swenehart, in charge, and
his two assistants. Both dynamite
and 20 per cent dynamite will be used
in blasting and both fuse and caps and
the blasting machine methods will be
used. Stump blasting. rock blasting
and ditch blasting are to be demon
strated.
Farmers will be urged to go right
in and work with the demonstrators
so as to get all there is to be learned.
The one day schools are not intended
for the man who knows all there is
to be learned about land clearing, nor
the one who assumes that because he
blew stumps before the demonstrators
were born that they can't learn" him
anything about it.
They are intended primarily for the

PROMISE 24-HOUR GAS
SERVICE BY OCT. Is

H. c. Hummell, manager of tie Wau-
sau Gas Co., says that that company
and users of gas have passed through
the greatest part of their difficulties.
The situation last week reached a
crisis, necessitating three shut downs
a day. During that time, however,
sufficient gas was manufactured to
provide continuous day service Mon
day and today and possibly Wednes-
day. After that for the balance of the
week afternoon shut downs will be
necessary.
A new bench with six units is about
completed or will be this week.
After the completion of this work
three weeks are required to dry out
the brick structore when the new
bench can be put into service and the
supply of gas increased 25 per cent,
which will insure 24-hour service
about October Is.
The new bench was contracted for
last year and was to be in operation
by May l this year. Had the con-
tractors been able to install the new
apparatus in the local plant no in
terruption in service would have been
necessary during the past summer.

700 MARATHON FARMERS
WILL BLAST STUMPS

Within the next six months close
to seven hundred Marathon County
farmers will blast stumps with INT.
While they purchased the explosive at
a very reasonable price every one is
anxious no doubt to have each pound
do the most work possible. Expert
ments have proven that IS pounds of
INT with No cap are as effective
as 100 pounds with a No. cap.
Hardware dealers in many parts of
the county have taken advantage of
the tip sent out from the office of
County Agent F. G. Swoboda, and laid
in a supply. Farmers who secured
INT are urged to see their dealer at
an early date to make sure having
the caps when wanted
Farmers who have difficulty getting
the caps are urged to get in touch
with the county agents office at once.
The $4,000 pounds allotted to Mar
athOn County was distributed the
latter part of last week from Wausau
and Edgar. Thirty Eight of the forty
one towns in the county took all or a
part of their allotment. Town chair
men in practically every case took
charge of the local distribution.
