tied by a News Budget representative
last Saturday.
Mr. CObOurn is operating an eXcep-
tiOnally large farm for upper WiscOn-
sin, located about five miles east of
Stone Lake in the best-developed farm
ing section in Sawyer county and one
of the best and most beautiful farming
sections in the northern part of the
state Some idea of the size of this
farm may be gained from the fact that
Mr.. Cobeurn has 105 acres in two
is rather a record-breaker for upper
Wisconsin.
A twenty acre field of potatoes is
looking very promising and ought to
he good for a couple of thousand dol
lars at even a low price for 'spuds."
Mr.. CObOurn had a fine field of clio
yer freeze out in the late freeze this
spring, the first time this has happened
sine he has been living on the Sawyer
county place. Mr.. CObOurn has his
own crew in a fine bunch of six boys
and when the clover froZe out they
pitched in and by working day and
night with their FOrdsOn tractor soon
had the field seeded to oats. There is
also a 20-acre field of barley and corn
enough for silage.
Mr.. CObOurn has a fine herd of
GuernseyS. He is now milking twenty
three and has a carefully-kept milk
sheet, recording every morning and
night just what each COW is doing
Butterfat production of the herd av-
erages 300 pounds year per COW,
while the seven high cows average. go

$50 pounds. One of the best cows in
the herd is one Mr.. CObOurn purchased
from l.. f. McGill's farm near this city
couple of years ago.
Mr.. CObOurn is a member of the
Stone Lake Cow Testing Association
and the milk of all the cows is tested

LAND SHOULD GROW MORE
CLOVER, FARMER SAYS

Frank Kline took a day off from his
work Tuesday to have his throat
treated.
Mr.. Kline was out riding Sunday
and passed some of our improved
farms and says that he believes the
farmers are cultivating land that
should be in clover as the crops look
as though the land was wearing out
from constant cropping. He says land
here should be in clover fully haM the
time as clover keeps the land rich for
other Crops.
He saw rows of 'quack grass where
farmers had planted corn and were
making an attempt to fight the quack
grass by cultivation, and were not sue
cee(dng. Such land he says should be
plOwed up at once, worked well, and
sowed to a heavy smother crop as ii
will not raise any corn to speak of and
discredits our country the way it is.
If one cannot farm well enough t0
kill quack grass it is better to give II
mp and SOW the land to clover. Cut
the hay before the quack grass goes
to seed and you have very paying
crop that will do you some good
Quack grass cut early makes better
feed for COWS than timothy, and it
has one valuable point in it's favor in
the fact that it enriches the land.
Quack will make a big crop if the
land is plowed thin, leveled, and kept
tn
treated that way than when it is left
alone, as the roots have a better
chance to take hold

We're in Ladysmith Monday and a

of the opinion that the Society OF

when the Farm Bureau extended to
them the right hand of fellowship The
Farm Bureau is managed by broad
minded men who are willing to coop

among other organizations.

'sMORAL GUARANTEES"
SATISFYING TO PARIS

PARIS, Nov. 20 (Associated Press) -
French official circles are delighted over
what took place at Mondays session of
the Washington conference. They con-
slider Premier BRANDS speech, with its
endorsement by Great Britain. Italy,
Japan, the United States and Belgium,
has established a new moral entente
among the nations which fought together
in the war and they are satisfied that NJ.
BRAND succeeded in justifying the size
Of the French army to the world, but
particularly to Americans.
Although some officials declare they
would have liked to have the United
States, Great Britain and the other ma
tons guarantee Frances security, they
regard the expressions of the delegates
after the Premier spoke as a moral guar
antee, which they consider "the next best
thing" '"cTc.4 esfnrHe HliHw lf

Delegates.

TOXIC, Nov. % (Associated Press).-
The statement Of Admiral Kato Of the
Japanese delegation at the Washington
conference that Japan approves in prin-
ciple the Chinese proposal for the open
door and equal opportunity In China is
declared here to coincide with the views
Of the Japanese Foreign Office.
1t is stated. however. that Japan's
acquiescence does not necessarily mean
that Japan Internationally recognizes
the claims in practice. and the anticipa-
tion is that when the Japanese delegates
at Washington arrive at the discussion
stage of individual questions pertaining
to China they will propose conditions
concerning their execution and the date
of their application.
The delegates may resort, according
to the vernacular Of newspapers, to a
declaration defining the particular situa-
ton of the Japanese Empire In connec-
ton with Chinese questions and request
an agreement by the Powers interested
in them. The AsoM Shin,bun and the
HochS SHIN bun assert that Japan is de-
Powers for the application of principles
on questions such as those In the gone in
Manchuria, where special conditions are
alleged to prevail and where Japan
possesses special interest.
The refusal Of Secretary Hughes to
agree to an alteration in the ratio of
battleships to be retained by the Powers
has been reported by this Japanese dele
gates. The Government authorities,
however. are quoted as not regarding
this development as serious as 1t APP
pears and to believe that there is a
chance for comparison. The Asnhi
