PICRIC ACID
DISTRIBUTED
Carload of Explosive Received
Last Saturday-Trucked to
Villages

The car Of picric acid which the
farmers of the county have been walt
ing for, arrived Saturday and was UNI
loaded by Tuesday night The car was
spotted at LadySlnith and the explosive
distributed to the villages OF the coun-
ty by truck. for redistribution. NO
more picric acid is available now, bul
perhaps next fall if all the states Go
not use their full quota, there Will ne
possibilities of getting more at hlgh-
Ell price.
Only those who put in their orders
with cash for picric acid before August
18th were able to get some OF the eX-
plosive. The County Agent tried 70
order picric acid without actual orders
from farmers, but was unsuccessful.
Picric acid is less sensitive than or
binary dynamite and therefore re-
ouires larger blasting cap. Only No.
s cans should be used. On account OF
the insensitiveness of picric acid, spe-
cial care should be taken to place the
cap lengthwise of the cartridge with
the business end of the cap pointing
toward the main part of the charge.
picric acid is about one third
stronger than dynamite which enables
this explosive to he used stick for
stick with ordinary dynamite. Plcrlc
acid has a much more SCATTERING erect
than low grade dynamite, and is there
fore, not as good a material to use.
Picric acid does not freeze ana
therefore requires no thawing.

moisture is present causes yellow

CANCER DEATHS
SHOW INCREASE
State Board of Health Begins
Campaign To Reduce Loss
Of Life From This
Disease

Madison, Wis, Sept. 27-With the
knowledge that deaths from cancer
can be reduced one half through an I'M
derstanding of certain facts regarding
the disease. the Wisconsin state board
of health is beginning a definite cam
paign which it is believed will have
farreaching effects In order that the
nature and seriousness of the problem
confronting the people Of the state may
be better appreciated, it is stated that
there has been q steady Increase In the
cancer death rate since 1911. During
the past two years there have been
nearly 5000 deaths attributed to can
GER in Wisconsin. greater number
than during any preceding bienniuln.
During the same period there were
$4,000 deaths from cancer in the
United States.
Cancer is primarily disease of
adult life. the greatest number of
deaths occurring between the ages of
80 and 80 years. Moreover, the affec-
ton is more prevalent among women
than men. OF all the deaths in persons
over the age of 40 years, one in Is
among men is due to cancer, while
among women of this age one in eight
deaths is due to this cause. Between
the ages Of 80 and 45, three times as
many women as men die of cancer ;
between 40 and 50, twice as many
These figures indicate strikingly that
cancer attacks those in the prime of
life. This disease. moreover, attacks

careful and careless, alike, choosing as
the time of its inSidiOus onset the most
useful period of life. Thus cancer
makes its appearance when the care
and guidance of children and the bus
mess responsibilities are most pressing.
In order that suffering and death
from cancer may be notably decreased
a thorough campaign Of education is
obviously necessary. Narly diagnosis
prompt and skilled treatment are the
keynOtes in the campaign against one
of the most inSidiOus and eXacting di-
SeaSeS known to mankind. The board
of health is planning such a campaign
and beSpeakS for it the keen interest
and hearty support Of all citizens Of

DIVERSIFIED FARMING
is KEY TO SUCCESS

At community meeting at MEADOW
brook, Sawyer county. q. NJ. House
holder, formerly county agent OF RusS
county. and now assistant director OF
Immigration of the state of Wisconsin,
made short address that was right
to the point.
Mr.. Householder had just returned
from attending fairs in most OF the
corn belt states. He told of the con-
ditions in the different states and eX-
nlained how much more fortunate the
nioneers were than the farmers ON the
high-priced. fully developed lands.
The farmers that paid from $500 TO
$500 an acre for land are now having
q hard time with low price OF farm
products to pay even the interest on
their mortgages. Many of these peo-
ple will lose their farms.
He told the farmers that in this new
country values were rising constantly
and that if they continued clearing ana
making improvements and developing
diversified farms their success was as
s,,7ed. He especially urged the build
ing no of diversified dairy farms ana
the making Of real coy attractive
home grounds. Even though 1t may pe
small and humble it still can be
honey and attractive

APPROVES TREATY CHANGES
Harding Favors Reservations Made by
Senate Committee.

Washington-The treaties of peace,
negotiated by the administration with
Germany, were approved ty the Sen
ate Foreign Relations committee, but
with two reservations.
One reservation would require an
act of Congress, prior to representa-
ton of participation in any foreign
agencies of commissions by an Amer
lean representative, whose nomination
would have to be confirmed by the
Senate The other is designed to pro-
tect the property rights of American
citizens, as we'll as of the American
government in the three former enemy
countries.
Adoption of the two reservations
brought from the White House the
statement that while President Hard
ing had not seen their text, he favored
the principles involved, and that no
objection would be made by the ad.
ministration to ratification with the
proposed reservations attached.

NEED is SHOWN FOR
COUNTRYWIDE T. b. TEST

The results of the II. b. tests con-
dpcted in the county the past week

( the need of a county wide test for
tuberculosis in cattle. II head out OF
800, tested, or over per cent were
found to be tubercular. This should
be sufficient evidence of the need for
a county wide test even TO the most
skeptical.
DR.. Ziebell, who tested the nerds IN
Rusk county, stated that the actllal
cost to the people of Barron county for
the county wide test last year, amount
ed to only 30 cents per person. That
knocks the wind out of the argument
that the cost OF a county wide test j.
a factor,
The law of the state gives the towns
people an opportunity to demand that
the cows which produce milk for town
cOnsumptiOn be tnbercular free.
ShOuld not the farmers be as careful
in what they feed their families?
More signers are needed to put over
a county wide T y test. The actual
cost of such a test is very slight. the
amount paid to the farmers for am
mails condemned is high compared with
present prices of cattle. The farm
children of RuSk county deserve 10

germs.

PLAN FOR 1922
COUNTY FAIR
Exhibits Were Good This Year
But There Is Room For
Improvement

Now is the time to plan your exhibit
for the 1922 Rusk county fair.
The picture of the 1921 fair is now
fresh on everyone's mind and with the
aid of premium book, one can plan
with greater foresight than after the
present fair is forgotten. The pres
ent is the time to plan to continue the
best features of the fair and to improve
those parts of the fair that were not SO
good The present is the time to hand
in your criticisms and suggestions that
the 1922 Rusk county fair may be the
best in its history.
Those in charge of the 1921 RuGk
the success of this occasion, despite the
weather conditions, for it was great
treat to attend the fair for it's eXhib-
its as well as for its races, ball games
and attractions
However, with the cooperation of
agement, the exhibits could be imprOv-
ed one hundred per cent. A county
fair should exhibit a large display of
the best products the county is capable
of producing. The county can improve
on even the fine display of vegetables
and grains.
There was no competition on some of
the vegetables and on others no exhibit
at all. The same applies to the fruits
The poultry display was good, but the
county is capable of far better one.
The pig exhibit was very good, but
even here all classes were not shown.
The exhibits of horses were comparable
to many county fair, and yet could be
much better The cattle exhibits We're
not without merit, but were altogether
TOO few to have any competition. RuSk
county is capable of presenting real
competition in all of the milk breeds as
we'll as some of the beef breeds. The
boys and girls work needs great deal
more attention to put it where it should
be.
The towns Of Stubhs, Grant, Law
renee and Bigg Falls made very good
use of their opportunities i'll presenting
real township booths. This is a work
that needs pushing. This can be a
source of great pleasure and friendly
rivalry of the towns which means de-
yelOpment of the county.
The fair is what the people of Rusk
county make it. Rusk county need fol-
low no county-it has the possibilities
of the best counties of the state. RuSk
county can and will have a banner
fair in 1922.

NO SUBSTITUTE HAS
FOOD VALUE OF BUTTER

"The Poorest Scrub Cow Would Not
Feed Her Calf Cocoanut OIL was
written on one of the signs displayed
in the County Agents booth at the fair.
Not only is cleo of no food value for
the growing person, but the sale of it
is a large economic factor in competi-
ton with the vitamine filled butter of
the real COW.
Last year, 400.000,000 lbs, of oleo
were sold on the American market.
American labor objects to competition
with foreign and oriental labor and
has received protection from our gov
eminent. But what about the Amer
lean dairy farmers competing with
the cCcoanut growers of the tropics
who forage for food, wear a smile for
clothing, have little or no capital in
vested. and reap Il large profit from
the sale of their product
The merchant advises the farmer to
patrOniZe home trade rather than the
catalogue houses. But should not the
merchant apply the same to himself
and refuse to buy oleOmargarine
which seriously completes with the
home product Of our dairy farmers?
Many merchants throughout the
state refuse to handle oleO. because Of
it's lack in food value, and because of
it's competition with the home grown
product of the dairy farmer, who is,
and always will be, the backbone of
this great dairy state of Wisconsin.
1t is time to act. Ask for real butter
and not a product just as good as
