RUSK co. FARMER
PLANS FOR TILE DRAIN

Edward Will came up from AlgOna,
Iowa, six years ago next spring and
located on a 20 acre farm along the
railroad west of the Flunker corner.
He rebuilt his house and has fair shed
barns. There are % to 80 acres cleared
in good shape and the balance is more
or less cleared for pasture. Thirty
five acres of his land lies east of the
railroad He was busy Friday plow-
ing up some pasture land to add to his
field and meadow. He is getting his
rough land leveled and surface drain
to tile out the low places. Mr.. Will
came from a country where it cost $40
to 500 per acre for thing and outlet.
Sometimes farmers must pay share
in a big tile drain or open ditch for
mile or more just to get an outlet
for their water. Then they have all
of the expense of thing their own
land.
Mr. Will has a brother who owns
farm of 120 acres near Algona, Ia.
He told the farm editor that it cost
him $1,000 for a big ditch that ran
across his farm. Mr.. Will had no
voice in putting this ditch in or in
how much it cost.
Rusk county has big advantage
over that country in the natural
drainage here, said Mr.. Will.
Mr.. Will has seven cows. Two of
these are high grade Holsteins from
the FIunker Bros herd. He intends
to work into the Holstein breed.

RUSK CO. TO BE
GOOD DAIRY LAND
Geo. Briggs Says We Have the
Opportunity To Become
Greatest Dairy
County

| Rusk county is the leading county
in Northern Wisconsin in number of
tillable acres of good soil. That it
will eventually be the best dairy coun-
| ty in the state is the candid opinion of
| George Briggs, county agent leader.
With our rapid development during
the last ten years we have shown the
world that we can grow clover and
the various other crops to compete
with older sections. Our soil is rich
with the virgin timber mold and our
system of clover and good cows now
adopted by all successful farmers
here, shows that we are on the right
track.
Progress Retarded
The war put a crimp in the prog
ress of this county and took many
of our fine young men, The gap has
not been filled since. Then the bank
ruptcy of nearly all of the farmers
of moderate means in the grain belt
stopped a lot of settlers from coming
here to get small farm home of their
own. Land sales this year over the
United States have amounted to moth
ing Land has been valueless because
the farmers were making no money,
owing in large measure to injuStices
of laws, federal land loan limits and
determinations, outrageous proceed
ings of the Federal Reserve Bank
which favored the cities at the ex-
pense of the country, and last, but not
least, the high freight rates which
in many cases amounted to more than
the farm produce shipped.
More Money Needed
Until we get farm loaps ON a live
and-let-live basis this county will be
held back. The farmer who has
, well improved 40 or so has no trouble
in getting a loan of so per cent of
the value of his land. This is not
enough. The limit should be raised
to 60 per cent in cases where
the farmer would agree to clear more
land or make other improvements. A
basis of values Of wild land to be
cleared must be arrived at.
Taking 500 an acre as the value of
cleared and leveled land which is just
one-half of what it should be, one
should be able to borrow $40 per
acre on land that costs less than $50
per acre to clear providing the farm
er would leave money enough with
the man making the loan to insure
the work being done.
Land cleared and into meadow or
pillow land pays dividends on 5000 per
acre valuation. Wild land don't pay
the taxes.
Reaching the Goal
When our financial heads realize
these facts and give the farmers here
the loans we are entitled to, and
prices of our cash crops are made
high enough to pay those who insist
on raising them, fair price for their
work, then and not until then, will we
start to go ahead with a good, fair
chance of reaching our goal and max
ing Rusk county the lading dairy

the United States.

Ships Built Here

WASHINGTON, May IA resolu-
ton opposing the ship subsidy bill, now
before Congress, was adopted to-day by
the executive council Of the American
Federation Of Labor. The bill, it was
stated, was ''predicated upon the un-
founded claim that such subsidy is
needed to equalize the wage cost which
it is claimed runs strongly against the
American vessels"
Non enforcement of the language
clause Of the seaman's act, particular
ly at Pacific Coast ports, was charged
at the joint Congressional hearing or
.ne Jones-Green ship subsidy bill to-
day by Patrick O'Brien, representing
tie international Seamen's Union. He
advocated an amendment which would
require that so per cent of the crew in
all departments Of an American ship
operated in foreign trade, exclusive Of
licensed officers, be either American
citizens or eligible to citizenship.
