STATE DRAINAGE
MEN Will HOLD
annual MEETING

The Wisconsin State Drainage as
sociation will hold its seventh annual
meeting February %, % and "a at
the agricultural engineering building,
University of Wisconsin. This is the
announcement of E. R. Jones of the
agricultural engineering department,
who is secretary of the organization.
The effect of back water from
dams, experience with small dredges,
the best kind of tile to use, methods Of
making assessments in drainage dis
tricts and farm drainage projects, and
minor improvements needed in Wis
consin drainage laws are some of the
topics to be discussed. The program
is of special interest to the new mem
bers of the county drainage boards
that have been appointed under the
Farm Drainage law. Farmer, engin-
GERS, lawyers, and drainage commits
sioners will be in attendance.
''The most profitable investment
there is today" says Mr.. Jones, "is
the tiling of the wet spot in the culti-
vated field Forty rods of 5-inch tile
have frequently saved the crop on an
acre of wet land in a cornfield. The
labor on this acre would have been
wasted were it not for the tile. Even
if 5-inch tile completely installed does
cost $500 a rod, forty rods cost only
$50 and at per cent the investment
costs but $3.50 a year. Compare that
with the value of SO bushels of corn
saved on the wet acre. Depending on
the price of corn, the annual returns
from the investment are anywhere
from 600 to 1000 per cent.

ABSTRACTORS
TOTHE RESCUE

The State historical Society has
found a valuable ally in the county
historians of the land" the abstract
ors. In the work on the Wisconsin
Domesday Book, which is going for
ward apace, certain facts are needed
which can be secured from the records
in abstract Offices more economically
than at the courthouses. And the alb
stractors are showing a generous will
nigness to cooperate with the Society
in making their records available for
the Domesday Book work. Their as
sistance simplifies the process materi-
ally and will enable the Society to
push the work forward just as rapid
~ as its funds will permit.

were sworn in and assumed their re-
spcctive duties on Monday, Janutry
3rd All Of them succeeded them
selves except Ernest Mathews, county
treasurer, and Cliff Bluet, sheriff
They were succeeded by Jimmie La

cid county officers have been tested in
efficiency, service and courtesy and not
been found wanting. The peoplC of
Wood County are well satisfied with
their past service and know that their
future service will be equally good.
The two new officers have a record to
make. They have the confidence Of
their party and the good will for sue
cess of the people who voted for them
We feel sure that they will prove 100
per cent efficient and worthy of the
confidence imposed upon them. The
year 1921 opens auspiciously for
them and the people expect first
class service from them all.
Each officer has excellent deputies
to assist them and they will prove
efficient in their respective offices and
departments during the absence of
their superiors. The new sheriff,
Walter Mueller, has moved his family
from Marshfield to the County Seat
and made the transfer with Sheriff
Bluet on Monday, Mr.. Bluett moving
his family into his own house on 18th
street south. Mr. Bluett has been ap-
pointed undersheriff until further
notice.
The new administration of county
affairs is favorably started and we
look forward to a successful admins
tration of county affairs.

The increase from 1912 to 1920 IN
round numbers was 253,000 cars-over
1000 per cent. The increase from 1919
to 1920 was 81 900 cars, not counting
trucks, or p per cent. At this rate
there will be $4,000 cars in Wiscon-
sin at the end of 1921.
The upkeep for this number of cars
is enormous. Assuming that each Of
the 277,000 pleasure cars in Wiscon-
sin travels 5000 miles a season, the
total distance Travelled would be 831,-
000,000 miles This is more than
nine times the distance of the earth
to the sun. If each car travelled II
miles to the gallon of gasoline, with
gasoline costing 80 cents gallon
nearly S20,000,000 would be spent an
nually to keep these cars running.

DANIEL WEBSTER,
LAND SPECULATOR

It may not be generally known that
tie great orator and statesman, Dan
iel Webster, owned wild land in Wis
consin during the years when specula-
tion in farm land was common. In
one Dane County township, Pleasant
Springs, he paid taxes in 1889 on
1850 acres, and he is known to have
had lands in other townships as we'll
Some of it was entered at government
prices. The Pleasant Springs land
he did not buy of the government. 1t
was entered in part by another Mas
sachusetts statesman, Edward Everett
and in part by Lucius Lyon. of De-
troit, Michigan, one of the surveyors
Of Wisconsin lands, who later served
in Congress and doubtless bargained
with Webster at Washington. By
1914 Webster had disposed of his hold
ings in this township, having sold
several tracts to settlers and recon
veyed an entire section to Mr.. Everett.
