BIG SALE or CATTLE
AT eELcHER STOCK FARM

The disposal sale OF the live stock
on the Beicher Stock Farm April 9th
was owing TO the depression OF times
and the downward trend OF business
considered a pretty good sale and the
majority OF stock sold was bought by
Lawrence county farmers. The pur-
chasers out OF the county bought as
follows:
and COW and calf, Kitchens, Carter
county.
One COW and calf to Sloas brothers,
Elliott county.
One herd bull each to John Elswicls
and Willard Ross, Rush. KY.
Two cows to Luther Power. Boyd
county.
One COW and calf and 2 yeariing
heifers TO j. l. Fannin. Boyd county.
The SNOWFALL bull calf a show
prospect. went to Cornelius Holbrools
Of Yatesville and was considered by
cattle men to be bought for less than
his value.
We are informed that about 16 good
Foundation cows out Of this herd and
the Big Sultan herd hull were bid in
for G. B. Belcher, who was one of the
firm and that he will now continue
lhe business under the name "Belch-
er Stock Farm" in honor OF his faith
er. Isaac Beicher. lately deceased. This
farm since the commencement of bus
mess, 1914, has distributed a large
number of purebred Shorthorn cattle
and registered Duroc hogs all over the
States Of Ohio. West Virginia and
Kentucky. and as proof OF the fact
that this farm was producing cattle
and hogs of real good type. The most
noted breeders of the Bluegrass reg
|gions visited this farm and were heavy
purchasers. buying good foundation
stock for their farms. Owing to the
Nfact that the whole country needs
more good purebred live stock and less
scrubs we are pleased to know that
this farm is to go on with this busi-
ness.

played with the K N, C. boys which
ended with score OF IL to and
Richardson bringing up the small end.
The second game was forfeited to
the Black Sox by the umpire to 0 on
account of Louisa not having any balls
on the ground to play the game. The
Black Sox furnished the two balls for
the first game but they failed to have
enough for the second game, expecting
"a little help from Louisa.
Our boys could do but very little in
the way of stopping ground balls as
they are used to playing on fast dia-

u S. FARMS
RUN BY TENANTS

Farm tenantry, growing problem
of American. agriculture, has now in
creased to the point where nearly
two out of every five farms III the
United States are run by renters in
stead of by the owners. -s
The figures for 1920, just issued
by the census bureau, are lower, than
the estimates other governmental
agencies have made from time to
time, but they show that of all the
farms in the country SS.1 per cent
are operated by tenants. In 1910 it
was 81 per cent, in 1900 1873 per cent,
in 1890 1874 per cent, and in 1880
ESQ per cent.
Ever since 1880, and perhaps be-
fore that time, the farms operated
by tenants have in each decade il,
creased faster than those run by ow.
ners. In the the years between 1910
and 1920 the number of owners who
ran their farms decreased about one
half of / per cent, farms operated by
managers increased in number AZ per
cent. In 1920 the number of farms in
the United States was 6,448,366, OF
which 3,925,090 were run by owners,
$3.50 by managers, and 2,454,746 by
tenants About two-fifths of the the
American farmers thus have no stake
in the land they till.
| The most significant increase in
tenantry has come in the great fer
tile regions of the. west, where lands
have advanced furthest, and in states
where new land has been turned un
/: der, the plow. The proportion OF
farms run by tenants is highest in
the south-this has been true of the
cotton states for long time

OF ROAD LAID

Memorial road between Baraboo and

evening. The road in the park is
wider than outside and where the
two. sections join triangular pieces
were. put in today, this being the very
last of the concrete work. The con-
tractors. Hutter e Accola, of Sank
City have been at the task over three
years, although the road is but IL
miles in length. On account of the
war. it we o, Impossible at times
to obtain help or material. 1t was also
impossible to get the culverts built
in the park, and the grading done,
the state doing this portion of the
work. Before the Improvement was
begun the contractors made a con
tract for the cement and this has
presented loss to them After freight
rates were advanced, making mater
ial higher, the county loaned chush-
er and this was Of great aid. After
all the delays, largely due to the war
and weather, the concrete work has
at last been completed and will be
greatly appreciated by all who own
automobiles
More Work to Be Done
The county has built a shoulder
along the middle section of the road
the state is doing the same in the
state park. The Sity of Baraboo has
done little or nothing toward pro-
viding shoulders and this end of the
:oad is in an unexcusable aid some
places almost dangerous condition.
The road was made possible by a
bequest of the late w. W. Warner of
Madison, years ago a resident of
Baraboo. BY his will he left $4,000
to the town Of Baraboo to build the
road. The town had no right to come
into the city or go into the stae park
to build road, this. requiring. special
legislation. Mr.. Warner left $4,000
with which to construct a bicycle path
and this must be provided. The work
of making the path will begin soon.
After the shoulders have been made
asphalt may be spread over the con-
crete and side material, making a
wide stretch of black, the same as
over the brick on Fourth street in
Baraboo.
Pillars are to be built at the en-
trance to the park, part of the stone
being on the ground.
When finally completed the road
will be one of the finest pleasure
drives in the state.
According to the contract vehicles
cannot use the recently laid portions
of the road for FL days but with IA
vorable drying weather the obstruc.
lions may be removed much sooner. It
will no doubt be ready for the Coun-
try Life picnic.
