RAIL STRIKE GOES ON
Railway Executives Reject the Peace
Plan as Proposed by President
Harding.

New York, Aug. 1.-Settlement of
the railroad strike on the terms pro
posed by President Harding has been
declared impossible by the unanimous
decision of practically every railroad
executive in the country.
The flat rejection of this proposal
now leaves little hope for settlement
of the strike, except through direct
negotiations between the strikers and
the railroad heads. Unless the execu-
tives weaken in the attitude expressed
by many after the conference, the
strike will drag on until one side or
the other shows signs of weakening.
1t was apparent that the railroad
presidents are at present in no mood
to compromise.
News of the executives action
brought challenge to a finish fight
from union officials here.
"If they want to fight, we are
ready" declared John j. Dowd, chair
man of the metropolitan district
strike committee. eve have been
ready and willing to negotiate from
the start, in the interests of the public
But we can win more in an open fight
than by negotiation and compromise.
The railroad executives now are in
open revolt against the President"

SACKS AND REED IN LEAD
Election of Senator of Both Parties
Yet in Doubt. Reed Losing
Ground.

A late message this afternoon, ffoun
the Springfield Leader, gave the in.
formation that Reed was in the lead
by $4,000 for United States senator
over Long, but that he was losing
ground. 1000 precincts were yet te
be heard from. At that time Sacks
was leading Brewster by about 4500,
with the issue in doubt.
Joe j. Manlove for the Republicans
and Frank H. Lee for the Democrats
are apparently the choice of the pas-
ties for congressman from the
fifteenth district. Larry Brunk, Re-
publican and DIR. d. N. Dabbs, Demo-
crat, are the nominees for state sena-
tor.
In the county the Republican nonsr>
inees are apparently as follows:
representative, A. F. Hilker; prose-
cutting attorney, Dan B. Meador; col-
lector, DR.. Bailey or j. B. Hopkins. Az
2 o'clock DR.. Bailey was in the lead
of Hopkins, GA votes. For recorder,
Porter Calton was ahead; clerk of the
county court John c.. Snider; clerk OF
the circuit court, S. M. Trollinge4;
presiding judge, A. J. Clevenger. The
other officials had no opposition. The
result may be changed when the final
count is made as some candidates are
running close.
On the Democratic ticket the prob
able nominees are as follows: prose-
cutting attorney, A. D. Alsup; collee-
for, r. c. Farrow or VIM. Houston,
Farrow at o'clock being ahead So
votes; recorder, Mrs. w. A. Wear;
clerk of the circuit court, Hugh T.
Montgomery; Judge of the Western
District, Jonathan Eden. The other
had no opposition.
Later returns may change the final
result. The official count will not ha
until Friday, out by Thurs

ficially.

Also in June they had horse racing
at track, which was treat to see, for
the horses are almost extinct these
days. Most of the horses came from
the fcrts-the officers horses. The
ladies also rode in races. They have
the regatta races here in the ocean,
lasting for two days. They had sever

The ships were decorated beautifully.
The city was also dressed up in its

certainly did entertain them in fine
style. Every Shriner that had a car
met the ships and took them all
around the country and city while
they were there. My son Frank had
leave from the Navy yard all the time
and did his share taking them around.
Shriners Lodge here sent away to
Australia to get three cames for the

CORN CONTEST NEXT FALL

A contest to see who will raise the
best No. % corn will be held in Sh2l-
don this fall The reason is that f.
G. Volling won two bushels Of this corn
at the demonstration day program at
the Conrath experiment station last
year and he is liberal enough to snare
half of his prize with twelve of his
neighbors.
One bushel Of No % corn was sent
to each of the following as prizes at
the demonstration last year: w. B.
Whomes, Bruce; e. G. Flunker, Lady
smith; n. H. Spooner, Conrath j. G.
Leblanc, Bruce; F. G. Yelling, Shell
don; r. L. Beveridge, Sheldon and
Mrs NJ Zerfluh, Ladysmith.
This kind of demonstrating on each
mans farm is what will convince the
farmers of the value of this corn which
has been ripened on the Conrath dem
onstration farm for eight successive
years.
Mr. Matson at the farm is selling
this corn at $3.50 a bushel f. o. B.
Conrath It is worth the while of ev-
cry farmer of Rusk county to plant
some of the No. % corn.

GOOD CLOVER YIELDS

At the Melrose sale Monday tn
farmers got to talking on the subject
of raising clover as against blowing
land for crops. The general opinion
was that the brushing, burning ard
seeding method was the best for new
land.
One man told of four-ton yield OF
alsike and timothy in first and econd
cuttings on land that had never beer
plowed This crop was raised two
years ago. on new land.
John Pember then told of raising
over four tons of mammoth cl ,ver pc
acre on land following potatoes the
year before.
Ole Peterson said he mad four acres
of land that he brushed AID seeded
Is years ago and that land had been
in hay ever since. He cuts the first
hay crop and pastures in the fall.
Mr. Peterson said that this could not
be done on land that had been plT:"s6
The general sentiment was that low
ing land especially when it was in The
new state. was worse than useless
They said that to brush, '';.n, log
level and seed, taking out the easiest
pulled stumps was to their way Of
thinking, after years of experience
the best plan.

ONE MAN HELPS
~
THE OTHER

Our article Hitting the Big Fellow"
in the last issue of the NewS-Budget,
brought forth much comment. DR..
Bugher called at this Office and said he
wanted to compliment the man who
wrote it, and he thought the article hit
the nail on the head. One of the lead
ing manufacturers in this city told the
farm editor that if it was not for hold
ing the unpaid accounts of the little
fellows and carrying settlers on past
due interest and payments on land they
had sold them, that they could easily
pay their delinquent taxes and other
bills and have surplus left.
Men who own and are dealing in land
have helped their settlers to get through
the long winter and owing to that and
the present financial conditions they
have taxes ON land they own that are
now delinquent.
When the facts are known that the
big fellow has done all that he can to
help the little fellow, it is conclusive
evidence of the soundness of our argu-
ment that it is wrong to increase his tax
penalties.

Clinton, Wis, April 30, 1921.
Ladysmith News-Budget:
Perhaps it would interest some
your readers to hear from a former
resident of your county now located
in Rock county.
Seeding is nearly done here, except
on low, wet land Some expect to plant
corn the first week of May, but the
weather has been very cool. Tt has
been down to 80 degrees three morn
ings and 26 degrees one morning the
past week. We had a very mild win
ter with no snow at all here and the
seeding came through the winter in
very poor shape, as there was no snow
to cover it.
/ am employed on large dairy
farm. We have 60 head of cattle,
which from the present outlook will
have to be stabbed and fed until June
1, at least, as there is no show Of sny
pasture on the 5000 an acre land here.
We all like it here, as it is our old
home county, but we also like and look
for the News-Budget.
Our daughter, who was sfrickei'
down with the sleeping sickness the
last of October, has now recovered so
as to be able to walk little and feed
herself, but it will probably be some
months before a complete recovery il
effected.
Enclosed find check for our subscrip-
ton to your valuable paper.
Yours for success,

of his farm tiled. On April % he had
finished seeding his small grain ON his
tiled land that was formerly a tam.
arac swamp, several days in advance
of most of the farmers in this part of
the county, even those on sandy loan
soils.
Mr.. Schultz has forty acres of land
which a few years ago produced only
wild grass and willow brush, drained
and producing various farm crops. Last
year he raised good crops of corn and
potatoes on this land, he said, and five
acres of corn made 100 tons of silage
good feed, and cheap. This spring
he has a good set of clover from last
years sowing, and fine looking piece
of winter rye on this land.
The state last season used small
plots of this drained land for expert
mental purposes, planting potatoes and
using different kinds of fertilizer. The
fertilizer was sown in strips for pur.
poses of comparison in yields of the
crop, phosphate being mixed with the
soil at the rate Of 400 pounds to the
acre. Potash was also used, but the
phosphate produced best results. Fur.
Their experiments will be made on This
land this season.
Mr.. Schultz is getting a carload OF
ground limestone which he will SOW
on a ten-acre plot at the rate Of two
and One-half tons per acre, to sweeten
the soil. and he will also use phosphate
at the rate of 400 pounds per acre.
The writer remembers that only a
comparative few years ago this land
was considered almost worthless. The
coming experiments and the general
results will be watched for with in

Twelve-inch, eight-inch and four
inch tile were used in this land to
drain it, the lateral drains being 100
