TRYING OUT NEW

this variety from the Bayfield, hatch

G. johnson saw to it that they were
planted where they will be given a
fair chance to show what they will
do, and these men will watch the
result with interest. AS far as we
have been able to learn this is the
first planting Of this variety of fish
in the inland. waters of Wisconsin.
The fact that lake trout have been
found to do well in many of the in
land lakes in this region encourages
the belief that these waters are
suitable for many other varieties
heretofore mot thought to be adapt
able to small lakes.

Mr.. Paul Johnson shipped in a car

to apply to the soil to increase his
grain and clover crop. Most all
of our soils here are somewhat acid

This makes the 9Th carload Of

This is the time to apply lime
