STILL TIME TO

If You Have Not Brushed
Twelve and One-half Acres OF
New Land on Your Farm
This Year For Next Years
Crops, Get Busy Now and
Make Your Quota

VIM. Collins. who moved to a piece
of new land in the town of Big Falls,
two months ago, has brushed about 20
acres of land with the help Of one
man. Here we have IL case OF now
man doing the preliminary clearing
on basis of $50 per cent of the allot-
ment Of twelve and One-haH acres OF
new land brushed per farm in tie
county to make up our $4,000 acres
and this brushing is done i'll two
months on a new farm. That was not
considered last spring when the "Rusk
county clearing project was launched,
except as this clearing done on new
farms would help out the acreage 70"
any old farms where little or no clear
ing was done. When we set the stunt
of $4,000 acres TO he brushed. we fig
ured it would be q trite over an acre
per month for each Of our 1000 farms
and TO put 5000 acres Of pasture land
under the pillow would be hut two and
One-half acres per farm. These
amounts are small enough. and while
we know that some men have not been

know that there has been considerable

new TAX LAW WILL
EXEMPT new HOME FORTY
SAYS STATE SHOULD
PUSH BRUSHING, SEEDING

!. Nj. Stcinlilbel who lives SIN
miles southwest of this city, said that
the crying need of Rusk county farm
ers at the present time was not Tor
dynamite; but for decent prices for
live stock, hides and farm produce
raised on the dynamited acres. Mr..
Steinhilber says the brushed clover
land and COWS will take care of them
selves. He told OF Il meeting at che
schoolhouse near lis place Il week ago
when COW testing was discussed. lie
learned that the price charged FOR
testing Il farmers cows was $500 per
month for Il 12-mOnth period, and he
asked for the job as he thought it
would beat farming.
Mr.. Steinhilbcr commented on the
saving on dynamite which was also
spoken about at the meeting. He said
that he believed the sale Of dynamite
was being pushed too hard in this
state and that it did the new settlers
more damage than the savings on the
price Of dynamite amounted to IN
| times when they were Influenced 10
blow out stumps before their land was
physically ready or before the settler
was able to finance the game.
| He says that he has found that new
| land should be brushed, seeded, and
DaStured for few years before stump
ing This loosens the stumps so that
la farmer can pull most Of them with
| a team. block and line or twist them
out with Il 1GfOOt pole with team
on the end of it. The ground is then
mellow and can easily be plowed with
the farm team and the blowing can ht
done shallOWer then than il one WOltlj
| fry to pillow new brushed land. This
leaves the top soil close to the toE
which is as it should be- BY this Sys
| TEN the land pays better profit pc.
acre. and the cost of lot of dynamite
is saved.
Mr.. Steinhilber says lie believes The
state college of agriculture should Try
and influence new settlers to cleal
| their land on the Rusk County Plan
| which is the only practical way, an.
quit plugging for the dynamite com
panieS through their county agents
IN that way he thinks the state wOull

Law Does Not Affect Assess
ments Already Made, or Land
Purchased Prior To June Il,
1921. Only Actual Settlers
Come Under This Law

The following letter, received by
County Agent Schoepf from farmer
desiring information regarding the
new taX-exemption law, was turned
over to the Farm Editor for reply:
Conrath, Wis. Nov IL, 1921.
Mr.. l.. l.. Schoepf,
I4adySmith. Wis.
Dear Sir Please give me in
formation as to this new home
tax exempt law Of which the News
budget editor spoke Of in last
weeks issue. | think il would he
great help to new settlers on raw
cut-Ovcr lands where only a small
acreage can be put under cultiya-
ton the first three years. Hoping
TO hear from you, / am,
Yours truly,
JACOB J.. JENTGES.
The law with regard to the eXemp-
ton of settlers from taxes reads as FOL
lows:
Real estate not exceeding 40 acres
~
after be acquired for and actually de
voted to agricultural purposes by a
bona fide settler, occupying the same
as Il homestead, shall be exempt from
taxation for a period Of three years
from the commencement of such Occu
patton, provided that such real estate
at the time of such acquisition IS en-
tircly lncleared and unimproved.
You will notice that this law ap
plies to those settlers who acquire I'M
cleared land and moved onto If. after
the law was passed, and it does not re-
fer at all to the time Of the assessment
In fact all such land should be as
seSSed. / presume the town treasurer
will have some blank which the set
tier makes out in lieu of paying the
taxes. The law was approved june
20 1921 and published June II, 1921
and so that June DIST is the date after
which the law takes effect. Land ac
duired before that date is not affected
You will find this law published as No
1904. being Chapter 374 of the Laws
of 1921. and an amendment TO Section
1923 of the Statutes. If you have the
Wisconsin Law Supplement. you can
find it on page 10
Assemblyman Summerville w II
fathered this bill, Informed the farm
editor last week that the taxes that
were assessed against land prior tf
June 20 must be paid as usual LII
that case there will be no benefit tC
the new settler on the taxes for the
present year.
An effort was made to exempt the
homesteads of all settlers who hae
purchased and moved onto their LIANT
during the past year, but it could moi
be done This sums up to the fact that
those settlers together with the Older
settlers and the wild land. not sold
will have TO bear slightly heavier tax
to offset the amount lost to the budget
by oxempting the new settler from
taxation. This will be more than over
come nv the fact that this tax exempt
law as if is. will undoubtedly attract
now settlers to our part of the state
What we need to make our county
prosperous is Il settler on every forty

county. The poor land should be SET

HEALTH SCORE CARDS
HELP RURAL FAMILIES

Having each member OF the family
score his own health card is one sue
cesSful way of improving the health
in rural communities according to Miss
Miriam Birdseye, Washington, ID. g.,
who recently visited the department.
of home economics at the university
of Wisconsin. She is i'll charge OF the
work of specialists i'll home economics
in the north and west.
Colds. headaches and indigestion, OF
ten result indirectly from errors in 4
family diet, Miss Birdseye explained,
but when the diet is more correct these
ills are less frequent.
Here are some points emphasized IN
the health score cards for adults:
DO you drink a pint of milk daily!
DO Won eat vegetable besides potato
daily?
DO you eat green's as ii standard
vegetable at least twice "a week!
DO you eat fruit at least once daily.
Children are urged to keep their own
score cards. The same, age, height,
and weight of the child appeared on
the face of the card and the points enl-
phasiZed were similar TO those for
adults.
For using one pint of milk each day
20 points were awarded; for using a
quart, 80 For eating vegetable be-
sides potato every day child received
ten points and twenty when two We're
eaten. When fruit was used once
day only 10 points were scored and ~
when used twice daily. Eating green's
twice daily scored Is points, and 10
points were also scored when oranges
or tomatoes were used every day as an
antiscorbutic. Children who did NOT
drink their milk or did not eat more
than one vegetable where two were
provided, had low score.

acre improved farm near Hayward. foI
fhe past two years, sold his herd of %

$73 zach. The highest COW brought

into the ring their years record OF
production up TO last June as complied

This accounts for the high average
price paid at tine sale This herd held
the highest test. of any herd in that
association. Mr. CobOurn says that
testing, grading and feeding put $50
per head on the sale price of his cows.
Common cows not tested brought $50

The GOOd-R0adS Fight

One Of tire hardest fights in which
the Farm Bureau Federation has taken
part in Washington has been over
roads The Townsend bill, providing
for a system Of tOast-tO-c0aSt. border
to-border and city-tO-city roads, was
about to be passed. 1t was pushed by
Il strong alignment within Congress
Outside it was backed by powerful III
terestS.
! But the Washington office OF the
Federation put Il crimp i'll the Whole
program. 1t declared that such Il sys-
/ tenn was not what the country needed
that instead of roads for pleasure and
tourist traffic, a system of farm-tO
market roads that would benefit the
farmer would be Il whole lot more prof
liable The Dowell-Phipps Bill intro
.duced covers the plan advocated by tbs
Federation.
The advocates of the speedway sys
TEN of highways declared that such
roads were necessary to take care d
hauling by trucks. The Farm Bureau
\ Federation had a man take Il count al
a toll bridge on road between Baitl
more and Philadelphia where there
would likely be a very heavy inter-city
truck traffic In three-hOurs' time just
-four through-tratfn vehicles of any
sort went over the bridge. but there
were 124 farm-to-tOwn vehicles.
The above information is condensed
from fine article which commanded
first place in The Country Gentleman
of last week. Looks like we would gel
less tourists pixies and more passable
roads to farms in the future.
