THISTLE SEED CAR
RIED BY BALLOON

Canada thistle is carried by little
balloons that hold and scatter the seed
as they flow from small patch of
thistles over large patch of ground.
Thistle seed is sometimes blown for
miles which accounts for the small
patches that are getting foothold
in the northern half of the United
States.
On many farms the care of these
patches is neglected and the seed goes
broadcast with the wind all over the
country.
The eradication of the thistle would
be a simple matter of clean continual
cultivation for a season with a crop
such as potatoes, corn, rutabagas or
other cultivated crops where hoeing
can be done all the season by keeping
the plants cut off just as they are put
ting their leaves through the ground,
or they can be killed by blowing and
discing thoroughly for a months time
and planting to a smother crop There
are a few patches of thistle in and
near Ladysmith and now is the time
to kill them out or to at least trim
them off so they won't go to seed.
Sow thistle, a noxious weed is not
common here, but land should be
watched for this pest as it now is a
nuisance in the south half of Manitoba,
and in large portions of North Dakota,
with few patches in northern Mime
sofa.
Sour dock is a better known weed
in Northern Wisconsin and thrives in
clover fields if left unmolested.' Cut
in haying time the seed is immature
but it ripens with alsike and timothy
and while not in the class with Can
ada thistle or quack grass it is well
to keep it off of your farm and if you
have it make haste to get rid of it.
This seed comes in cheap clover seed.
Never SOW any seed except the high
est grade and he sure it is free from
noXious seeds.

RUSK CO. MEADOWS
VS.. CORN BELT LANDS

Contrary to some wiseacres predic-
lions that corn belt land would drop
500 per acre we quote few exam
piles to show that the price of good
land does not go down. At LeMars, Ia,
Thomas Eyres sold his 100-acre farm
to Fred Susemihl for $34O per acre or
$34 1000; Ed. Durband sold his 80-acre
farm 5 miles north of LeMars, Ia, to
Henry Goebel for $500 per acre; Leo
Marx sold his 120-acre farm 4 miles
east of LeMars to N. Gengler for $3.50
per acre. Matilda Anderson sold 100
acres in Hardin county, Ia, to Albert
Mork for -$25G per acre. While this
land is located in the thickly settled
well improved part of the corn belt,
it cannot produce as much net profit
as Rusk county's tame hay meadows,
acre for acre.

All of the herds averaged over thir-
ty pounds butterfat per month and
five herds as follows made a higher
record for the month ending July 10 ::
A T. Loll, six pure bred and grade
Guernseys averages 1857 pounds of
milk, making 44.9 pounds of butterfat.
L. Mattison, seven head made $40

The highest cow in production of
milk and butterfat is Mamie, owned
by A. F. Loll, who produced 1885 lbs,
milk which made 1875 pounds butter

SCHOOL MEETING
AT NATLICO

Another school meeting will be held
at Natlico August at O'Clock p. m.
for the purpose of correcting the min
utes of the previous meeting. AT the
spring meeting vote was taken to in
struct the school board, consisting of
Mrs. e.. Sarb, NJ Belknap and ]. Wild
mar, to. secure a site for a school at or
near the eiglt-mile corner of the Big
Falls road.
At an adjourned meeting motion
was made to instruct the school board
TO buy or lease the acre in the corner
Of the Welcher forty at this corner.
Probably sixty people attended this
meeting and all but three or four vot-
ed on this motion with view of posi-
lively settling the location. An err
ror was made in stating the motion Or
in setting it down in the records and
the records show that the school board
was instructed to consider the pur-
chase of the acre at the Welcher cor
ner.
However the school board chose to
secure from school director Wild
mar an acre of land for school pur-
poses quarter of a mile east of this
corner in disregard to the peoples
choice of the Welcher corner.
1t is for the purpose of correcting
the error that the Thursday night
meeting is called
Later-Since writing the above the
News-Budget has been informed that
some parties in Dewey saw the school
hoard or part of it and agreed to do
nate some work clearing land if the
school was located on the eight-mile
corner on school director Widmar's
land. All of this is contrary to law
as the people and not the school board,
chose the location for the school, and
they chose the Welcher corner, so that
any other location chosen by the school
board would be illegal.

FILLED MILK BILL UP
HELD BY SUPREME COURT

The Wisconsin Filled Milk Bill was
upheld in decision just handed down
by the state supreme court. 1t is a
great legal victory for the state, and
especially the dairy interests whose
combined efforts were originally re-
sponsible for the enaction Of the filed
milk legislation.
The court upheld the law under
which Commissioner ]. Q. Emery or
dered the production Of filled milk
stopped, as valid for three reasons !:
1. Because it prevents deception and
fraud 2. Because it protects the
public health. g. Because it protects
Wisconsin markets.
According to Chris J. Schroeder,
secretary of the Wisconsin Farm Bu-
reau Federation, the movement against
filled milk was started by the Wal
worth, Waukesha and Rock County
Farm Bureau. After a conference at
the state farm bureau office late in
1920 steps were taken to secure the
united effort of the dairy interests Of
the state which resulted in the intro
duction of first a regulatory and later
a prohibitory bill in the Wisconsin
legislature.
The so-called filed milk bill was
passed early in the summer of 1921
and became effective in September of
that year The Wisconsin Dairy and
Food Commission was prevented from
enforcing the law by an injunction
served upon them by the Carnation
Milk Company.
The state through its Dairy and
Food Commission and the attorney
generals office carried the case to the
supreme court with the result that the
bill was declared constitutional.

PICRIC ACID
FOR RUSK co.
Farmers Can Secure Portions of
Picric Acid This Fall if
They Act at Once

The banks are taking orders for pic
ric acid on basis of $11.2O per hun
bred, car lots, 200 pounds to each
farmer and as we have no county
agent to push the matter this year it
is up to the farmers to place their
orders with their banks or they will
lose more money on that one thing
alone than a good county agent would
cost them for whole year Picric
acid has proven it's merit and when
used with dynamite and cap for a
starter very good and cheap results
have been made Rusk county is en-
titled to 100000 pounds of this acid
and no delay should be made in get
ting orders to the banks so they will
know how much to order If we don't
get our share it will be placed in other
and more progressive counties which
have county agents to look after such
things for them.
John Swenehart, who is in charge
of land clearing for the state, writes
that he will be able to deliver this pic
ric acid as soon as sufficient orders
are in to make up carload lots.
Picric Acid Drive Now On
Picric acid is secured from surplus
war material transferred by Congress
to the United States department Of
agriculture and distributed by law
in cooperation with the agricultural
college of the university of Wiscon-
sin. 1t was made primarily for war
and costs considerably more than dy-
Mantle to manufacture. When this
supply of war picric acid is exhaust
ed, it will be impossible to secure an
additional supply for land clearing.
The pierre is cartridged and packed
in 100 pound boxes ready for immedi-
ate use in land clearing. It is dis
tributed at cost of packing and dis
tribution. This includes drying, car
tridging, cartridge wrapping, paraffin,
labor, boxes, box Innings, trucking, and
supervision. No charge is made for
the material and no profit is allowed.
The increased cost this year over that
distributed in 1921 is due to the fact
that this enire supply has to come by
freight from New Mexico where it is
now stored. e
Get your order in promptly to your
bank as there is no provision for stor-
age. Orders will be filled in rotation
as received.

COUNTY LOAN
MONEY NEEDED
County Reclamation Act is Big
Thing for New Settlers Who
Can Get it.-Money Need
ed Badly Now

The County Reclamation Act has
surely started things to going in Rusk
county, and no time should be lost in
getting the bonds sold so settlers can
draw on it to buy dynamite to finish
their clearing and buy groceries and
clothing for their families which is
the biggest object of the law.
Several men have gone ahead with
their clearings and as the amounts
applied for were small they have their
clearing well along and need some
money on the loan badly at this time.
There should have been at least one
man on this board who had cleared up
farm and who knows the cost of
clearing various kinds of land and one
who is in sympathy with the settlers
and knows their problems.
The success of this venture depends
on the men on the reclamation board
and if they pinch the settlers on the
amounts of the loans, underestimate
or overestimate the cost of clearing,
bad results are bound to follow and it
takes a man with much experience
along these lines to handle the prop
ositiOn.
No one who has not gone through
the process of starting a farm in the
brush with limited means can appre-
ciate the real need of some money in
clearing land and the law provides
for a payment of so per cent on this
work when part of it has been finished.
As the amounts were small, the recla-
alton board, to save expenses for the
settlers, of inspecting, desired to make
payments when the work was. com
pleted, and while this is a laudable
ambition, yet it does not help when
the help is needed.
One mistake the reclamation board
! made was in not allowing the full
amount of the cost of clearing the land
as they figured to allow about so per
cent while the law states that they
may allow 100 per cent up to $40 per
acre, but not to exceed 80 per cent of
the value of the land If a settler got
few dollars more than he used while
clearing by doing his own work he
might buy sack of flour or pair Of
, shoes for his wife, which he surely is
entitled to do. A more liberal policy
must be pursued with our settlers or
we won't be able to keep them on the
land

JUVENILE COURTS
POWERS CURTA|LED
Supreme Tribunal Holds Sen
tences to 0ccoquan Be-

The United States Supreme Court
today affirmed a decision Of the
Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia to the effect that the Ju-
venile Court Of the District cannot
sentence to hard labor at Occoquan
and held that hard labor Is an in
famous punishment. and that a per-
SON cannot be sentenced without
being indicted by a grand jury.
The decision was read by Mr.. JUS
tice McKenna. The Chief Justice. Mr..
Justice Holmes and Mr.. Justice
Brandeis dissented. while Mr.. Justice
Clarke took no part in the case.
Punishments severable.
In concluding his opinion, affirm
ing the decision of the lower courts.
Mr.. Justice McKenna said:
1.-The ultimate contention of the
United States is that the provisions
Of the act of March 23, 1906, for pun
ishment by fine or Imprisonment are
severable and that, therefore, 1t was
error in the court Of appeals in hold
ing the act unconstitutional and in
directing the dismissal OF the case,

ther proceeding.
THE contention Is untenable; 1t is
what sentence can be imposed under
the law. not what was imposed, that
Is the material consideration. When
an accused is in danger Of an in
famous punishment if convicted he
has right to insist that he be not
put upon trial except on the accusa-
tion of grand jury"

The decision was in the case Of the
United States vs.. Charles Walter
Moreland, charged with non-support
of his two minor children. The effect
of the decision. according to Foster
Wood. attorney for Moreland, is that
the Juvenile Court of the District has
no jurisdiction in non-support cases.
either as 10 fine or Imprisonment. and
that the cases will have to be brought
in the District Supreme Court for in
dictment by grand jury.
1t has the further effect, Mr.. Wood
said today. of any cases in which
the court may impose Imprisonment
at hard labor OF indicting them by
a grand jury and the Police Court
of the District Of Columbia will not
have jurisdiction over any Of those
cases in which the Imprisonment may
be At Occoquan at hard labor.
