Prohibition

Prohibition is with us and all of it's
ills; filling the land with thirst and
our cellars with stills. With prunes
and squash and other trash; they're
turning out barrels of good, strong
mash. My neighbor Jones is a right
good sort, but he's making moon
shine by the multiplied quart. He
has an idea whenever you choose, you
have right to make your own booze
Though the stuff he makes is nice and
cool, one single shot would sicken a
mule. Both the city bred bird and
the country ''hick", are all doing their
best to put in the kick. But the brew
ing and stewing will have to end, or
Uncle Sam hand will lend. And if
he don't, I'm sadly afraid there'll be
only mOOnshine and no lemonade.

DO PURE-BREDS PAY?

Do pure breds pay? E. C. Holden,
Of Glen Flora, bought pure-bred
Guernsey calf nine years ago for $40.
Since then he has sold part of his off
spring for 1925 and still owns three
cows in addition to one that was killed
by lightning He will not sell the
cow for less than $3.50 today Did
that pay?
A pure bred herd of very fine Hol-
stems is the result one Barron county
farmer can boast of and he made a
beginning nine years ago with two
pure bred heifers. You couldn't buy
his herd for thousands of dollars to-
day.
Let's consider buying pure bred
heifer as the foundation for our herd
Develop your herd while you are de-
veloping your farm and get a great
deal more pleasure and interest out
of your work.

Old Timer Says the Natural
Way For a Settler to Start
New Land Here is to Brush
and Seed. Success Follows
This Method

DR.. Kinyon is one of our Old-timers
and he has watched the development
of Rusk county for many years. He
gives us the following interesting in
formation.
Twelve years ago the first of May
Frank Dean was busily engaged in
working up new land on Maple Hill.
He sOwed this land to clover and tim
othy and cut crop of ~ tons Of
hay per acre from it that fall among
the stumps. This is the natural way
for one to start new land to producing,
and it would be the general rule if it
was not for the vast amount Of prop
uganda that is put forth, leading
settlers to positive losses from finish
ing their new acres and putting them
to cash crops. The old settlers who
succeeded have done it through grass
and cows.
New settlers should be instructed
along those lines so that they might
prosper as we'll as the old timers"

CUT ALL BRUSH AND
GREEN TREES CLOSE

The hayseed editor was asked to go
out and inspect a job of brushing for
one of our business men who has some
land near this city that he is having
cleared. We found brush stubs from
two inches to a foot high so that they
would have to be cut off again close
to the ground before any hOrse-dra wn
machine or tool could be used, and
before it could be moved with a
mower.
Why men will cut brush this way
is a mystery, as it is as easy to cut
them close to the ground. The man
who wants work must do a good job
or the man who has land and money
to pay for clearing will not have the
work done. We know of men who
brush land right, that always have
work to do, while men who only half
do their work and want full pay for
it lose the job they have.
Thorough, well done work, is profit
able to the man who does it as it is
to the man who pays for it.

EXPLOSIVE SLOGAN
OF COUNTY AGENT

Zone hundred pounds Of picric acid
to each farmer of Rusk county who
needs explosive" is the slogan of
County Agent Schoepf. This is an
explosive equal to 40 per cent dyna-
mite at half the price.
''The price must be equalized for ev-
cry farmer of the county, no matter
where the cars Of explosives are
spotted" said John Swenehart, who
was here last week. To take care of
local freight on shipments. fifty cents
a hundred will be charged on all pic
ric acid orders The price of 100
pounds will be $3.50 plus 80 cents, or
5000.
Only as much picric acid can be or
dered as there are certified orders.
Therefore. no one can expect to get
some Of this explosive unless they get
in their order before the car orders
are sent in. Mr.. Swenehart stated
that the order blanks would be here
in a few days. These blanks will be
sent to each farmer as soon as they
arrive
Cash, a certified check. or a money
order must accompany each order for
pierre acid. Each farmer can order
only 100 pounds The dealers will
handle No. s caps, which have been
found most successful in decorating
picric acid.

TAKES EXCEPTION TO ARTICLE

J. r. DuckiOw, chairman of the
town of Flambeau, took exception to
our article last week where we stated
fact that the Big Falls road was in
very bad shape and needed attention.
Mr.. DucklOw stated to the farm editor
that Frank thinner, chairman of the
town of Dewey, and he, Mr.. Ducklow,
had employed Herb Turner to level
the road mentioned, between Dewey
and Flambeau, and the work had been
delayed on account of dry weather.
Mr.. DucklOw said he had been over
the road last week and noted that the
work had not been done, but expected
that it would be done in the near flu
ture.
We believe Mr. thinner and Mr..
DucklOw are good men for their towns
and we know that Mr.. DucklOw has
had gravel hauled from his
own pit to low spots on the road in
his town. This gravel costs the town
very little except hauling and the
cost of putting it on the road up to
one mile from the pit has been about
9Oc per square yard. This gravel is
the best for road work that we have
seen as it is full of small pebbles that
will make a fine surface for roads
when packed The low cost of getting
this gravel on the road is an item that
all taxpayers appreciate.

BRUCE FARMER SAYS
HAY is REST CROP

H. A. Hinzie who rents the Duane
Joyner S0-acre farm, AZ miles north
of Bruce, says that hay is the best
crop for farmers here to raise. Mr.
Hinzie has between 80 and 40 acres
of hay and having filled his barn is
stacking the balance outside. He es-
Inmates his crop at 100 tons.
He also has 10 acres of potatoes,
acres of oats, acres of peas, and
acres of barley. He feeds some of the
peas to his hogs and sells the rest for
seed He says there is good money in
selling pea seed which brought So to
81 per bushel last spring.
He is planning on seeding down
some Of his pillow land to hay and will
raise more hay and fewer cash crops.
He has three horses and twenty head
of cattle. AT present pastures in his
neighborhood are getting short, and
he is keeping his milk flow up to nor
NAL by feeding fodder corn.
He says that it always pays to feed
well, as it is only on a full flow of milk
that profit is realized.

FARMER SEEDS
SOME LAND EVERY YEAR

I'll. Clausen end family, east of
Crane farmers, were in Ladvsmith
Sunday. Mr.. Clausen has been on his
farm four years, and has five acres in
tame hay, on land that has been
plowed. He seeded two more acres
down this spring.
His 211a acres of oats were so heavy
that they started to lodge. so he cut
them for hay.
He brushed off ten acres more this
spring that is seeded to grass. He
also has four acres of potatoes.
Mr.. Clausen has six head of high
grade milking ShOrthorn COWS. and
is planning on improving his herd
and may decide to get some pure bred
cows, and build up a pure bred herd
of that breed.
Mr.. ClauSen says he seeds some
land down every year as it gives him
good returns, and he has more time
to brush and seed more new land if
he does not try to cultivate too many
acres.

EIGHT-ACRE PATCH
YIELDS % TONS HAY

G. n. McElravy reports a yield of
% tons of tame hay from an S-acre
patch of land on his farm, 2 miles
northeast of this city. Five acres
more on brushed and seeded land
among the stumps will yield close to
ten tons of fine hay. Joe Boss has
rented this hay stumpage and cuts
all new brush with the hay
Mr.. McElravy says that hay is the
best paying crop he can raise. He
takes care of his hay land and keeps
the crop up to high standard. When
the farmers of Rusk county realize
the value of hay and good cows this
community will be prosperous and land
will be hard to buy from the farmer
owners, says Mr.. McElravy.

Rusk county land. Mr.. Sergent told
est forty in Rusk county for his
equity.
Mr. Sergent says that corn is a good
crop around MarshalltOwn but oats
are showing effects of drouth.
The streams were very low there
and there was stencil from the stock

nauseating.
Mr.. Sergent says that the bOasted

past due rent as the Rusk county
farmers owe on their land and stock,

but we have something to show for

healthy prospect for future advance

FEED SOME GRAIN

Owing to the extremely dry wealth
er, there has been an increased de-
mand for bran and Oil meal. Prices

BANK DEPOSITS MEAN
MUCH TO COMMUNITY

Ladysmith has three good, strong,
well-managed banks which offer much
better security for your savings than
a tin can, sock or other hiding
places.
The prosperity of any community
depends largely on its bank deposits.
When deposits are. large, many loans
can be made. If deposits decrease, the
loans needed to carry on business and
farming must decrease.
Daily papers told last week of Mrs:
John BransOn, of Thurman, Iowa,
losing $780, the savings of lifetime,
by a raid of sneak thief who stole
it from a tin can in the cellar.
