LAND CLEARING MEET
Swenehart Gave Interesting
Facts for Villas County
on Land Clearing.

From the facts given to Villas
county business men, land own.
ers and farmers in general by
John Swenehart last Thursday
evening at the court house, land
clearing in Villas county. while il
has made a neat showing during
the past few wears, must be in
creased in the future in order TO
give us a better ranking with
upstate counties. That it can
be accomplished easily and very
cheaply, if placed under super
vision OF the land clearing de.
partment Of the state. was fully
demonstrated by Mr.. Swenehart.
Some OF the facts shown:
Land area in Villas county is
$50, 900 acres.
Percentage of acres cleared in
1919. was 20 acres.
Number farms in county All.
Land cleared from 1909 to
1919 in countv-5,5 S3 acres.
Land cleared per farm per year
from 1909 to 1919-1.4 acres.
Number new farmers per town
ship last ten years-11.5.
Average in northern Wisconsin
was 172.
Villas county could clear 6 acres
per farm per year. By this. her
Az farms would increase the
acreage 2.502 acres.
With $500 acres cleared her
value will be increased S1S7, SOC.
Plant,these $500 acres to po-
tatoes and the croppage would
show 100000 bushels or 500
carloads.
The C-S Club is responsible
for the awakening OF the farmer
to the necessity OF more cleared
land, and the club should receive
the hearty support of every soul
in the county. The women are
to be commended for their ac-
tivity in county advancement.
A mass meeting will be called
February 2nd at Eagle River, at
which Mr.. Swenehart and other
state men will attend.

PROPOSED GAME LAWS
Wisconsin Conservation
Commission in Favor of
One-Buck Law-Other
Changes in Fish-Game.

The Wisconsin conservation
commission, ia a report to be
submitted to the legislature,
will recommend the following
changes in the fish and game
laws of the state:
To make IL unlawful to troll for fish
from a motor boat.
Increasing minimum size OF nu skel-
lunge from - inches 10 or 10 ponds
Opening season Sn certain game
fishes on Memorial day instead OF
June 1. Probably muskellunge.
pike and pickeTel.l
Reducing daily limit on trout from
IS 90 25 per day.
Having an open season on upland
birds % nine consecutive days or con-
secutive week-ends. covering six days
in all. with a bag limit Of three birds
PER DAY.
Changing deer season from Nov. 20
"a so to Nov. 10 TO 20.
Open season on beavers in ten coun-
ties from FEB. ] TO March 81.
Require every hunter 10 report bis
seasons Kill al the end Of every sea
son.
Commenting on the above. I.
| koerner. veteran resort man
at Spider lake. Manitowisb.
writes:
I'm my opinion prohibiting
fishing from a motor boat Is
wrong. There have been less
fish caught trolling in back of a
motor boat since this style of
fishing has become popular than
in the old DAYS when guide row
ed YOU through all the bays and
around stumps where you cast
over the lily beds and bars. To-
day. with the cupboard motor,
all these good spots are passed
up.
| certainly agree on raising the
minimum limit of the muskel-
hlnge TO eight or ten pounds.
Our observations show that a
twentv-four inch muskellunge
will average two and three quar-
tiers to three pounds in weight.
which is certainly too small TO
be taken out of the water"

Vow Catching Red Snappers.

The latest from Robert Thur.
ston. who is wintering at St.
Petersburg, Florida, is that he is
now angling after. deep sea fish
these days-at least that is what
one is to assume after reading a
clipping from a St. Petersburg
paper. 1t tells of a party OF
twenty. including Thurston. who
went after red snappers and
groupers. Claimed they made
the largest catch of any party in
years. Seems as though Bob
has suddenly given up flying.
Was it for the reason that his
friends mere and in Chicago fail
ed to believe the affidavits he
sent back verifying the state
meut?

The man has been discovered
who can answer all Of Edison's
questions.
This he can do without crack
ing or warping his brain. There's
reason.
This man is not a brilliant,
bald-headed university profess
sor. Nor is he a thick-specta-
cled hider behind weighty tones.
He is q patient Of st. Eliza
beth's Hospital for the mentally
unbalanced, which is the only
logical goal for a mind freight
ed with the riff-raff necessary
to answer that bunch of mis-
cellany Edison unloaded in ques-
ton form. Ask those who can't
answer 'em. They aren't hard
to find. Just pick anybody at
random. Anybody.
At any rate this patient knows
why eggs have one end smaller
than the other, why Napoleon
held one hand behind his back,
and thrust the other nonchal-
antly into the bosom of his win
ter underwear, why grandfather
and prunes wrinkles so interest
ingly, the distance from Wash
ington to the newest sunspot, by
way Of Hong Kong, China; why
