WISCONSIN FALL GRAINS

FAN sown grains in Wisconsin show
an approximate decrease of 1879 in
acreage, compared to a year ago, ac-
cording to the Crop Reporting Divis-
ion, of the State and Federal Depart
ments of Agriculture, located at Madi-
son. There is a decrease of 14@6 in
the rye acreage, and 1879 in winter
wheat. The dry weather of September
and early October largely explains the
decrease in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin rye on December / was

iHOLSTEIN BREEDERS
PLANS 1928 WORK

Two very well attended meetings
were held December Is and 16 at Sol
diers Grove and Prairie du CHEN.
State Secretary Oldham spoke to the
Holsteia breeders and advised with
them on planning some important
work for 1923.
A Holstein Calf Club of not less
than rs calves is the goal for next
year. A committee composed of Chse-
| ter Bishop, Ferryville, L. A. Crume,
Boscobel, and Joe Paulus, Bridgeport,
was appointed to handle this work in
cooperation with the County Agent
Several others offered their help in
visiting schools in the county to inter-
est the boys and girls in Calf Club
Work, and if possible to get them to
raise Holstein Calves. A large num-
Der of Holstein Calves will be availa-
bic by local breeders and these will be
offered at exceptionally low prices if
they are bought to go into Club work.
A committee consisting of VIM.
Rayner, Soldiers Grove; j. Campbell,
Bridgeport; and Geo. Brown, Gays
Mills was appointed to plan one or two
Holstein bull sales for April, 1923.
Those who will be wanting bulls
should wait for this sale. At the last
sale Mr.. Chester Bishop of Ferryville
bought a two weeks old bull calf for
SAB from j. w. Lawton ne Son of
Viola. Since this purchase, the dam
of this bull made % pounds of butter
in 2 days on official test. You could
not buy the calf now for three times
that amount. Perhaps you viii be as
lucky as our next sale.
The County Association voted to af-
filiate with the State Association and
voted SIS per year az the amount to
be paid each year by the County AS
ISOLATION TO the State Association.
Very close cooperation has been OBJ
tanned in the past and local breeders
are only too glad to help the State
Association in financial ay when
needed
Crawford county has about rs paid
up members out of a possible so
breeders. A membership drive will be
put on in the near future and those
who have not Joined will be given an
opportunity to meet with the present
group of Holstein Boosters. Keep
your eyes on the Crawford County
Holstein Breeders Association. They
are a bunch Of Give Wires and are
going to make the county "sit up and
take notice" before the year 1923 is
over.

Do you think it is right for the new
members to share all the benefits the
Post has to offer, by the mere payment
of three dollars?
A No. 1t was unanimously decid-
ed at regular meeting December 22,
1922, that after the second meeting in
February 1923, all new members shall
be charged eight dollars.
@ Don't you think that is pretty
steep?
A Do you think so? Three dollars
of the eight would be for dues, of
which two dollars goes to pay State
and National dues, and five dollars
would be charged for initiation fees.
1t is not more than fair that those
men who are eligible to join, and have
not seen fit to join, should pay the
additional amount to help balance
their account with their local organi-
cation.
@ Will each member be admitted
to the meetings by merely paying the
eight dollars, after the second meet
ing in February?
A No. He must be balloted upon,
and his application must be accompan-
led with three dollars.
Q When does he pay the addition
al five dollars?
A If the ballot is favorable, he is.
notified when he shall take his initia-
tion, and pays same at that time.
@ Then in order to get 10 the Le--
gion for three dollars fellow has to.
pay up before the second meeting in
February?
A Yes.
@ Who does one pay the three dol
lars to?
A Pay any member of the Post or
any officer. If more convenient, pay.

Cutter at Farmers Bank, e. p. Kuehni

food for Cattle.

a contribution to the old question OF
using prickly pear (opuntia) as food
for cattle takes the form of bulletin
of the department OF agriculture Of
Bombay. The author describes ex-
periments at the government dairy at
Kirdee, in which six bullocks were fed
with mixture of 100 parts of prickly
pear to six parts of cottonseed at the
rate OF ~ pounds to each 1000 pounds
live weight day during six months.
The spines, which form the danger in
feeding prickly pear. were burned of
over stove, after which the fodder
was cut into small pieces by means
of a chaf cutter or chopper. This
experiment and others proved that .
mixture of prickly pear and cotton
seed will not only support life. but will
restore half-starysd animals to good
condition.

in that they made no further investi-

harm to look into the matter further

made, just as It erred in the rejection

OF course, these two Republican
members of the Court becoming can
didates, one for reelection and the
other for another Office, they had to
have an excuse as to why they re-
fused to make a contract with The
Missouri Herald when it had sub
mitted the lowest bid. So they go
about telling the people that they
would not give the work to this pa
per at any price and, further, that
they would not let US have the work
should we propose to do it free.
That is absolutely true. The records
of the court will show that to be eX-
actly the stand they took. But their
excuse is this: They tell the peopl
that the former service of The
Herald was inaccurate, and this pa
per was therefore unworthy to have
the contract. A late day for such
an excuse. If The Herald's work
was unsatisfactory the proper time
to have raised the kick should have
been when our bills were presented
for payment. If we had not deliv-
cred the goods according to contract
it would have been the duty of the
County Court to have refused pay
ment for our work. We were re

1t may have been an "honest mis-
take" but the bold, bald fact is that
the Republican had printed in its
own Office several weeks ago "rate
card" showing how to measure legal
advertisements, and which is just
ss simple as an interest table and
log scaling card, with which most
everybody is acquainted. Deduc-
ton: Having an interest or log
scaling card, would you send to st.
Louis to have an expert" figure the
interest on $4,000 at s per cent,
or send to an expert" to have ten
foot sycamore log scaled? The sit
uation is exactly the same in the
measurement of legal advertising.
The figuring is already correctly
done on card, which all printing
offices have, but in this instance, as
we happen to know, the Republican
has several dozen of such cards

A LIE NAILED.

The payment of around $4,000
in excess of the full legal rate for
publishing the proceedings of the
Board of Equalization is but another
link in the chain of trickery in
which the Republican majority of
the County Court has repeatedly re-
fused TO accept the lowest and best
bid, as the law requires, which
would have saved the county more
than 100 per cent on all it's adver-
tisements, to say nothing of the
extra" due to expert" figuring.
Linked together in this way, the law
having previously been disregarded
with impunity, taking the whole
matter as it appeared on the face Of
the records of the court, why was not
the over-payment on this particular
job of work not cause for legal l.
vestigation, as we demanded in our
last issue? The records of court
should be sufficiently reliable to JUS
tify the comments of newspaper
based upon that record, and if any
wrong has been done anyone the
County Court has only itself 10
blame for it. AS the matter stood,
all that was said was justifiable. If
the newspapers erred, it was the in
excusable error of the County Court
that caused them to err And If
the over-payment is refunded so far
as we are concerned, it may pass as
an error; but had the Court not been
so rampant in it's politics from first

For twenty-four years the editor
of this paper has been publishing, at
more or less frequency, the proceed

and the month of June and an Illi-
nois Republican, who unfortunately

courts, has brought the first threats

sponsible under our contract. No
protest was made. Our bills were
paid without question. But, as sai~
this talk about our delinquencies
is brought up at this late day solely
and only as an excuse to cover up
the high-handed political action OF
the two Republican members, who
are again out for office.
Without the slightest intention
of disparagepent of the other print
ing Offices, we can say that The
Missouri Herald is little better
equipped for doing the county advet-
tising than any of them, and had
the contract been given us, as should
have been, because of our lowest bid
we would have been bound to have
rendered efficient service. as the
County Court and everybody else
with as much sense as a two-days'-
old sapsucker knows. But, as show.
ing how much the two Republican
members of the County Court were
seeking efficiency, they have had
their organ produce, as far as we
have examined, far less accurate
publication than any this paper ever
handled. This work is not only ac.
cepted by. these two associate mem
bers of the County Court, but it is
paid for at full legal rate plus
around $4,000 excess, due to "ex-
pert" figuring.
When any man tells you that ii
was because of The Missouri Herald !;
lack of efficiency, or inability to
render efficiency, it was refused the
contract, he tells you deliberate
lie.

ERROR? GRAFT? WHICH?

Our comments last week regard .
ing the payment of an excessive
charge for publishing the proceed
ings of the Board of Equalization
were deduced from paragraph in
the Democrat-Argus relative to thu
same, which we reproduced in con
nection with what we felt our duty
to say. This week the same paper
gives a somewhat revised version of
the affair, and this we also repro
duce below. The actual facts. how
ever, remain the same, except tn;
the Democrat-Argus puts milder
construction upon the incident, say
ing the Court probably acted thru'
error, making an "honest mistake
In view of later developments.
too, take the same view, for where
there IS room fol- doubt accused par
ties are always entitled to have thu
benefit of it. But, at the same time,
in our comments OF last week we
had nothing to draw conclusions
from but the ungarnished records
of the court, which, ordinarily,
should be depended upon for ac-
curacy, and this, coupled with the
full history of the case as the Coun-
ty Court has played it's game of poll
tics, would, we think, justify to the
fullest extent our previous remarks
While there can be no excuse for
making such mistake, either on the
BART of the publishers in rendering
their bill or the County Court in
paying it, we presume, since the er-
ror, (if it will afford any salve to
the aggrieved to call it thaD has
been found and aired, the money will
be returned into the county treasury
which, if done, will close the matter
so far as we are concerned. The
somewhat modified version of the
Democrat-Argus follows:
I'm connection with the payment OF
the charge for publishing the proceed
ings of the Board of Equalization,
comment upon which was made in re-
cent issue of this paper to the effect
that approximately 500 more was
paid than a proper estimate calls for.
we desire to say that the account was
allowed, we believe. in good faith on
the part of the judges of the Court. In
filing the account the publishers
stated that they did not understand
The Missouri herald., 1922-06-16

If the Democrat-Argus has the
sort of fighting machine it describes
in its last issue, we hope the two
bellicose associates of the county
court will tackle that first, and may
be that will trim them down to
about our size. We have no machine
Of any sort-just our bare hands,
and we prefer to retain these to
earn our honest daily bread in the
,eaceful pursuits of life.
