RECORD FOR AGRICULTURE
AL LEGISLATION BROKEN

When Congress recessed August "a,
after an almost continuous session
since April IL, it had to its credit more
agricultural legislation than has been
.ssed in IA like period by any congress
,Ince the gaveI first fell in the old
state house in Philadelphia, and the
agricultural bloc in senate and house,
headed by Senator W. S. Kenyon and
Representative l.. j. Dickinson, to-
gether with the other congressman VINO
supported the blocs, have returned to
their states feeling that they have
been the authors of constructive leg
islation which will afford relief in the
present strenuous situation.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON working very closely with both
the senate and house agriculture
blocs has been back of each bill
passed. The bills as finally signed by
the president do not in each instance
represent the federation's ideal, bnt
legislation is largely a matter OF com
promise and amendment.
No less than seven bills, all of out
standing interest to agriculture, have
been signed recently by President
Harding. They are: 1. The packer
and stock-yards control bill. 2. Reg
ulation Of grain exchanges and future
trading in grain. 3. Extension 81
war finance corporations powers t
lend money to facilitate expectation o.
agricultural products. 4. Increasing
by $25,OO0,0O0 the working capital OF
the Federal Farm Loan System. .
Increasing the interest rate on fedora
farm loan bonds from 3 to 51a pei
cent 6. Limiting immigration to
per cent of the foreign born residents
in this country as recorded in the 1911
census. Z. The emergency tariff Dill

REMEDY MORE EFFECTIVE
THAN PROTEST PROPOSED

There is grumbling in the air among
the dairy commission men and ship
pers because rumor has spread to the
effect that higher tariffs will soon go
into effect on the main lines of rail
roads affecting less than carload lots
Of butter, cheese and eggs. Wisconsin
will be interested in heading off any
such movement, ii possible. In case
it is impossible to prevent the con-
templated advance in less than carload
lots then we have remedy more ef-
fectual than protest. That is to slim
ulate the organization of more group
shipments at concentration rates,
avoiding the pull-haul and waste in
cidental to assembling various con-
signments by the railways, who expect
TO charge higher.
Polk county creameries have set an
example of what can be done to reduce
the cost of freight by shipping butter
across the continent in carload con-
signments. Traffic affairs are becOm-
ing of far more interest to- farmers
than ever before. The state market
division is also taking an interest in
this angle of things and intends to in
stall a traffic and claim department.
Railroads will find that farmers
nova days are awake to their OppOr
tunities to reduce overhead costs, and
pooled shipments of outgoing dairy
products is one solution. This is right
III line with the advice which many
parties have been handing to farm
ers, namely, quit kicking and use
little business sense in working out
your own salvation" - Wisconsin

GAIN SUCCESS
BY ORGANIZING
Follow ''P0lk County Plan" In
Shipping Butter In Car
load Lots

The farmers and business men of the
county are showing great interest in
the plan sponsored by the state divis-
ion of markets for the marketing Of
butter, cheese and livestock. Meetings
were held at Glen Flora, Bruce, Hawk
ms, Weyerhaeuser, Ladysmith and
Sheldon the past week.
The foundation for success of fed
Grated marketing lies in the united
backing of the farmers. The farmers
must organize and stick together, not
for six months or year, but for all
time. 1t takes time for any group to
organize and to get results; similarly,
t will take the farmers time to reap
he benefits of organization. Capital
las gained it's place through Organiza-
ions, labor is what it is today only
through organizations, and farmers
ill get and hold his rightful place
My through organization.
The state department of markets
roposes to follow 1.-The Polk County
LAM of marketing butter in carlots.
,enefit of the difference between local
nd carlOt shipments. In addition, by
hecking up on the freight bills, no
nance has been allowed for over
barge of freight or underpayment for
utter or a falling market.
Single Grade of Butter
The Polk county creameries have
an ideal the making of a single
rade of first-class butter under a la
Ell for the county.
The Equity, the Farm Bureau, the
ollege of Agriculture, and the farm
papers of the state have united
rOnt behind the Wisconsin Fedora
,on's plan of marketing cheese. The
aderatiOn has shown a reduction of
to cents per $100 of handling
barge, or compared with the cost of
marketing by individuals. There are
ne hundred and twenty cheese fac
cries in the federation at the present
ime.
A further plan of the department
IF markets is to federate the livestock
shipping associations and work for
better prices. The associations trib-
utary to South st. Paul will ship
their stock to the central cooperative
shipping association, which is an as
ISOLATION organized by the livestock
shipping associations of Minnesota.
Organization is the farmers only
salvation. Polk county, Barron, and
some other counties of upper Wiscon-
sin have set the pace. Rusk county
will be in the race.

HIGHER PRICES FOR HORSES
Heavy Draft Animals Wanted
for City Hauling.

Heavy draft horses are In greater
demand and commanding higher prices
than at any time In the last 20 years,
according to the proprietor of Bos-
ton trucking concern which maintains
100 horses and % auto trucks. In a
letter received at University farm he
says: For the short haul the horse
has no competitor. We buy at any
time and have paid as high as $500
each, but are not getting as good
horses as we would like to use. We
believe the peak stage Of motortruck
sales and use has been reached.
Farmers should be encouraged to
breed better horses"

A BALD-HEADED STATE

Try, try hard, to remember the
most beautiful woman you ever saw
and then try to imagine how unbean-
tiful she would look ii she should
suddenly become bald-headed. Her
hair is woman's crown of beauty.
Women prize it above all thingse per-
sonal. Poets sing of it.
Wisconsin, figuratively speaking, is
rapidly becoming bald-headed. She
is absolutely bald in many large spots
and in others almost wholly bald.
For trees are to the landscape the
as the hair on her head is to woman,
and Wisconsin is losing her forests.
In many parts of the states there
are many square miles of sandy bar
renS, many square miles of land that
has not only been cut over, but over
which fire has swept fercely time and
time again.
Within these areas all is ugly and
desolate The lakes that dot them
and the streams that meander through
them do not and cannot brighten the
prospect For lakes and rivers are not
attractive unless their shores are lined
with trees. They cannot but be repel-
lent when their shores and the land
beyond them are SCARED and black
ened.
The uglineSs of these places is en-
phaSized when one remembers their
0ld-time beauty and by the contrast
when one goes some miles farther and
finds himself among towering trees
and ripping waters.
Some of this idle land, liability
to the state as it is, is too poor for
farming, but will grow trees.
Trees will give us timber, which is
becoming scarcer every year. The
time is coming when there will be
virtually no forests left unless we be-
gin planting them without unnecessary
delay. Tree growing has become a
necessity.
Many of these spots are worse than
bald spots. The ground is covered
with blackened stumps and logs.
There are trees killed by fire and
hideous butts which stretch disfigurel
hands to the sky.
1t will pay the state to grow trees,
The prices that the timber will COM
mand when it is ready for market,
which will be from twenty to forty
or fifty years, will make tree grow
ing pay.
Forestry, in addition to direct prof
it's, will yield profits indirectly. They
will draw tourists to spots that they
now shun. 1t is more than possible
for Wisconsin to derive gross in
come of $10O,000000 a year-from the
tourist trade, Michigan already claims
$75, 900, 000-and nothing will draw
tourists as forests will.
The planting of trees should, first OF
all, be done along the shores of lakes
and rivers and along the sides of The
states highways highways that are
wonderful in utilitarian way, but for
the most part sadly lacking in the
beauty that trees will give them.
A very good start has been made
in the way of state forestry legislation
More legislation is needed however
and a beginning of the actual work is
imperative. Much more rapid prog
ress can be made once public sentiment
manifests itself in clear. emphatic

WHAT DOES THE REAL FARMER LOOK LIKE-ANYHoW

The city newspaper cartoonist
likes to picture the farmer chap
with billygoat whiskers and corn
cob pipe.
But the new cartoonists are be-
ginning to see that even if there
ever were the extremes we used to
see in the papers, there is new far
mer developing.
The new cartoonist has noticed
that the new farmer has a good
deal in him of the type of the alert
business man of the growing cities,
He may go around the farm in
overalls just as peperful city man
goes about in short sleeves and old
suit. but when he is away from the
business, he is pretty up to date.
Cartoonist Plumb herewith presents
the old and new.
