SOY BEANS ADD
FERTILITY TO SOIL

Soy beans make good hay, soy beans
make good siiage. and SOY beans make
4 good green cover crop TO turn under
on soils needing humuS and nitrogen.
Soy beans are a good crop for our san
dy soils and do well when planted up
to June /.
The county agent is able to get any
kind of soy beans you desire but you
will prefer the Early Blacks or the Ito
Sans or Manchus for conditions up
here.
Soy beans increase the farmers sup
ply of rich protein feed and add fertil-
ity to the fields upon which they are
grown. Farmers in various sections
of the state have planted them mum
Der of seasons with satisfactory re-
turns and for years the crop has been
grown on the agricultural experiment
station farm What practical farmers
have found by experience and what
has been demonstrated in the station
experiments will aid farmers who are
extending the planting of this profit
able crop.

SHOULD ROTATE
POTATO FIELDS
Plant Cabbage or Rutabagas In
Low Spots, Advises Agent
And State Expert

The way of controlling scab. black
scuif. and black leg in our potato
fields was demonstrated by Prof r. E.
| Vaughan of the University of WiscOn-
sin 10 large number Of farmers. who
attended the potato seed treatment
demonstrations held at Weyerhaeuser,
Bruce. Glen Flora and hurry last
! Wednesday and Thursday. Rusk
county can control these potato disea sess
by treating all seed potatoes with cor
rosive sublimate and by rotating crops.
| Common potato scab and its injury
| to potatoes is known to all of us. Mr..
| Vaughn states that the Scab parasites
| persist in the soil many years after a
crop Of scabby potatoes. and that add
ing lime and ashes to the soil make
ideal conditions for growth of scab
while blowing under clover sod or a
green cover crop makes the soil less
liable to this disease.
Black Scurf is known as dirt that
wont rub off, and does harm to the
young growing stems by cutting them
off The growth Of an abnOrmaily
large number of small potatoes ana
potatoes in the axis of the leaves is
caused by this fungus also.
Black leg is Il disease which causes
the seed to rot early even before the
sprouts break through the ground, thus
giving an irregular stand and weak
plants. As IL result. the plant stops
growing, the leaves become pale and
bend upward, and the plant has Il sick
ly. narrow and spindling appearance.
Diseased plants generally die without
setting any tubers. This disease is
worse in heavy soils and in some cases
may cause ii rapid soft rot.
Mr.. Vaughn would treat all potato
seed in Rusk county that we might get
better results. He would not grow p0-
tatOes on the same field two years III
succession. He would prefer a field on
which clover sod or green clover
crop had just been turned under.
Any person desiring Circular No.
- Control of Potato Diseases" may
have the same by calling for it at the
county agents office.
A hot f0rmaldehyde treatment for
seed potatoes has been widely adyer-
tiSed the past few weeks, as this has
proven very sufficient under conditions
in Iowa However. X. r. Vaughn
states that this treatment is not sat
isfact0ry for Wisconsin conditions be-
cause it will not control black scurf,
and black leg diseases which are more
on less widely spread in this county.
Formadehyde treatment will con-
troll sc:tb, but not black scurf and black
leg. \ thirty minute treatment OF cor
rosive sublimate is equivalent to two
hours with formaldehyde.
Mr.. Vaughn would try to avoid blight
by not planting potatoes in low. wet
spots in fields for the blight will get
its first start here and will spread very
rapidly to the rest Of the field. IT
would be far better to plant rHtabagas
or cabbage in these low places as these
can be cultivated with the potatoes, 1t
is poor business TO make potato field
any. more liable to blight than needs be,

FARMERS MUST
HELP PASS LAW
Bill Prohibiting Making of
Filled Milk Now Before
Senate

The bill prohibiting the manufac=
ture and sale Of filled milk has passed
the assembly by vote of Il to 16,
despite the most vigorous opposition
on the part Of the makers of the imi-
tatlon product. Indeed, it is said that
the lobby against this bill was the
strongest and most insidious known
for years at the state capitol.
What Is filled milk? 1t is milk In
which the condensaries have sub
stitnted cocoanut oil for the butter fat
confined in the milk. What effect
will this have ON the dairy farmer
Of RuSk county? Makers of filed
milk are able not only to stimulate
the use Of n cheaper and inferior fat
from health and growth standpoint but
they are also able TO take the valuable
butter fat delivered to them and sell
it as butter In other words. they di-
vide the farmers products into two
portions The fat which is removed is
sold in competition with butter, thus
increasing the available supply and
tending to force down prices to just
that degree and on top of this the skim
milk is filled with vegetable fat and
goes to the market in competition with
fresh fluid milk or condensed milk.
1t is a case of the ''cocOanut COW of
the South Sea Isles" against the dairy
COW of Wisconsin. Which do you sup
port? Write your state senator and
get your neighbOrs to wrote. Tell him
you want him to vote for Assembly
Bill 477-A and work for it's early pass
age.
We farmers must fight our own bat
ties. We are getting little enough for
our milk products now. Here is an
opportunity to get rid of some unfair
competition. If you have already writ
ten your senator. Hon. G. H. Werden,
write again. Let each one of us write
to him.
Suggested Form For Letter
Hon. c. FL. Werden.
Care of Senate Chamber,
Madison. Wisconsin,.
/ would appreciate your support of
Assembly Bill 477-A, which forbids the
manufacture and sale in Wisconsin of
filled milk, condensed skim-milk to
which cocoanut oil has been added.)
Filled milk perpetrates a fraud on
the consumer and is injurious to his
health. 1t is also destructive TO the
dairy industry of the state and if per-
mitted to continue. will injure every
producer of milk.
May | count on your support of this
measure?

So fully in earnest were Pease and
Daniels, however, that for the first
time In its history Fordham entered
into the Zest Of a genuine sIashing
campaign. They found that It would
cost double what they had calculated
on to defeat BARLEY, but once In the
ring they were eager and willing to
risk all to gain all.
1t was an exciting election day for
Fordham. Wayne and Moore worked
like Trojans and the contest looked
close up till noon. and then began to
swing steadily in favor Of Tyrell. No
votes were purchased nor underhand-
ed methods exploited. but influence end
hard work were exploited to the limit.
To the chagrIa of BARLEY, to the ut
ter discontinue Of Wayne and Moore,
their candidate was utterly routed.
Their unique wager was the talk Of
the community. There were fmrdships
connected with Its execution that sad
ly unnerved and Inundated them. The
worst element OF the proposition was
that. led by a band Of music, mus
tEche denuded, blonde head Of hair
shaver close, they were obliged to pa
rade along the principal streets Of the
town.
From behind slanted blinds Florence

that changed the entire expression Of
his face. AS to Daniels, he looked

Wayne and Moore disappeared from

knew they must improve the enforced

to the acquisition Of money to cater

stage Of her career there had arisen
what she adjudged to be life op-

taken advantage of 1t.
The woman had won the confidence
and liking of an nrtless, innocent
young girl named Clytie DavpnaI. Just

She had done Clytie great favor by
