ENTHUSIASM RAN
HIGH AT MEETINGS
Committee Convinced That 30,-
600 Acres Will Be I'M
proved

Attendance at the land clearing
meetings last week and the interest
shown by the farmers attending, have
convinced the executive committee of
the Rusk County Land Clearing AssO-
citation that the quota Of $4,000 acres
brushed and seeded and 5000 acres
stumped will be reached
Last week meetings were held at
kalish. Apker school. and the Rusk
Farm school and were largely attended.
In all. about 250 people attended these
three meetings. Enthusiasm ran high,
as was shown by the way the farmers
entered into the discussions. Secre-
tary Schoepf. who is conducting these
meetings. wishes the farmers 70 enter
into the discussions more. The CORE
laton of ideas from these meetings
will perhaps give someone better ideas
better clearing can be done.
Part of Annual Program
Land clearing is not Il new idea. The
point of enthusiasm in land clearing
is passed The results obtained in the
county last year show that land clear
ing has become a part of every farm
er's annual program. Of course, finan-
ccs are the limiting factor, but even so,
preparations for clearing should be
made as far as possible. The progress
and development of Rusk county can
'le no greater than the rate at which
land is cleared and the settler converts
the cut-Ovcr acres into producing acres.
Before a settler can make Il success of
farming here. he must get few acres
III crops to grow enough feed to sup
port his cattle and help tide him over
for the first few years.
The Rusk County Land Clearing AS
sociation by following the program it
has mapped out, proposes to benefit ev-
cry farmer in Rusk county. If you
wish to stump your land, and do not
know how to use dynamite, the assO-
citation will show you how to use it.
The association will help You get your
seed for your acres which are brushed
and logged BY cooperative buying OF
seed and dynamite the association can
get you better prices and it is to this
end that Secretary SchOepf urges ev-
cry farmer to send in his membership
blank and also his dynamite order
blank if he needs any dynamite this
year.
