ANOTHER CHARGE REFUTED \

Charges that the Bank of N. ID. had
subsidized Pearson's magazine during
the Bond Sale drive were proved false
when evidence used by the i. ". "A.
tofsubstantiate their claims was dis
covered TO be nothing more than let
ters sent back and forth relative To-
advertising contracts let with Pear
sons and other magazines during the
bond sale drive. One of the letters
which was purportad to prove that the
Bank had deliberately made a pres
ent of money to Pearson's, is the fol-
lowing: NJ
"Dear Mr.. Paddock: =
| am enclosing an order on the
Pearson account. 7 went in there the
other day and found them in panic. A.
trusted bookkeeper had Heatoned the
ranch and stole them blind. I came to
the rescue with my check on my own
account, therefore this order signed
by Mr.. Harris. %..:n'" -
Kindly protect me for $4,000 we

remit and answer correspondence. All
close down at l o'clock. I feel greatly
encouraged. -, ..s =.
49, ~ Sincerely, +
- H. >O'Dell.
The above letter was picked as one
most likely to create a false impress
sion in the minds of readers. It ap-
pears however, that there is absolutely
nothing irregular in the letter. The
money which Mr.. O'Dell advanced to
Pearson's magazine was advanced to
them on the credit balance of their
account. Mr.. O'Dell does not say that
he gave Pearson's any money, as the
reactionary newspapers. would like
to have it appear, IN the contrary he
says he personally advanced them
money and they in turn gave him an
order o the Bank of N. D. on their
account which was due to them for
advertising printed in their magazine.
Pearson's magazine had every right
to give Mr.. O'Dell an order on the
Bank of N. D. because the Bank of
N. D. had placed with them advertise
ing for the Bond Sale and they had
published it and We're entitled to their
pay the same as any other magazine.
The fact that in an emergency MI.
O'Dell advanced them the money from
his own pocket and took an order on
the Bank of N. D. did not in any way
invalidate their claim against the
Bank of N. D. -~
Investigation further showed that in
no instance had the management of
the Bank of N. D. ever given any
money to any magazine land indeed
they had always insisted on obtaining
a special rate for their Bond Sale Ad-
vertising. It was this advertising
that sold the bonds. =;

PLAN SILOS NOW

February is a good time to plan for
the new silo. 1t is good time in
many ways. First, the man without
a silo can easily see by comparison
how much better off a feeder is in
midwinter with silo than without it.
Second, there is more time now to de-
vote to scanning catalogs, bulletins
and farm papers and writing for adj
ditional help that will guide us in the
wise choice of material and the meth
cd of construction.
tits hardly necessary to devote any
space to telling why silos are a god
send to Wisconsin-the vast array of
1000 silos now in our state amply
takes care Of that. First question we
usually get is what kind of silo
shall l build?" No one type can be
called the best type, as no one make
of automobile can be called the best
motor car. 1t depends on personal
finances, the materials most easily at
hand, the relative costs of upkeep and
| cheapness, concrete as a permanent
form of construction probably has it's
advantages in the long-run, especially
! where sand and gravel are close by
the farm. In other cases wood, tile,
| brick, cement block, cement stave or
| metal may prove cheaper. Cost will
depend upon size in any type of silo,
! and our first duty is to estimate the
herd requirements over number of
seasons SO as to build silo that will
neither be too large nor too small for
practical purposes.
In all types of silos the common OBJ
ject is to get smooth, alright walls,
rigid frames, and weather resistance.
Building absolutely frost proof silos
in this climate is difficult and expen-
sive. Locate the silo on the protected
side of the barn, and close all doors
and windows in cold weather, and
keep the silage next to the wall a
foot or more lower than the silage

INCOME TAX FACTS

Farmers, rangers, h6rders, dairymen
truck gardeners, vineyard and orchard
owners, and other food producers must
compute their net and gross incomes
for 1921 and ascertain whether an in
come tax return, or "a tax, or both
are due. All gains, profits, and income
derived from the sale or exchange of
farm products, whether produced on
the farm or purchased and resold,
must be included in gross income
When farmer exchanges his products
for groceries, clothing, or other mer-
chandise, the fair market value of
such goods must be included. Profit re-
ceived from the sale Of farm land, or
rent received for the use thereof,
must be included.
In determining income, upon which
the tax is assessed, the farmer may
deduct from gross income all neces-
sary expenses incurred in the opera
ton Of his farm during the year 1921.
These include cost of cultivation, har-
vesting, and marketing Of his crops,
cost of feed and fertilizer used,
amount spent in repairs to farm build
ings (other than the dwelling) and
to fences and machinery Wages paid
to farm hands are deductible, but not
wages paid to domestic servant,
which is a personal expense.
AS an aid to farmers, the Bureau of
Internal Revenue has prepared spec
ial form, 1040F, for recording sales of
live stock, produce, and a summary
which must be attached to the individ-
ual return of income and expenses.
An unmarried or widowed farmer or
one living apart from his wife must
file an individual return for 1921 if
his net income for 1921 was $1,000
or more, or if his gross income was
$4,000 or more. If married and living
with his wife on December 81, 1921, a
return must be filed if his net income
was $4,000 or more, or if his gross
income was $4,000 or more

have been almost tripled. The game
was worth while.
Then the dollars count. The new
broken land will raise $50 worth of
potatoes an acre the first year. Each
acre cleared has added $65 to its
value, while all the rest of the farm
is worth at least SIS an acre more.
Then there are the crops year after
year which will mount into millions
of dollars. The farmers themselves,
the county and the whole state will
benefit by the new wealth.
And the game was such fun that
Washburn county will do it again
and we have no doubt that much
more than 10000 acres will be clear
ed in 1922 And Washburn county
will teach other counties the trick.
1t is too good to confne to one coun-

REAL WINTER OUTING
Perreault Is Convinced Winter
Season Is Not Dull One
Round One Summer
Resort At Least

Edw. Perreault of the Hotel Com
mercial decided last week to take a
little vacation and accordingly accom-
panied Jack Sisson out to his resort
to spend couple of days. The next
morning Jack said he guessed they
had better go over to his WOodlot a
couple of miles away and bring home
load of wood as it was hard to say
what the weather might be before
next week. They hitched up the team,
blind horse and a three year old
colt that Jack was just breaking, and
when they got in the sleigh Ed not.
iced a snow shovel, two axes and a
crosscut saw there. He rather won.
dered what all the tools were for but
thought he would find out and he did.
They soon turned off the main road
onto one that didn't look as though
team had been in there all winter.
They went several rods until the
blind horse laid down and the colt got
frightened, so Jack told Ed to take the
shovel and cut out road for them
while he got the horse up on its feet.
Ed was feeling pretty good with all
the ozone pouring into his lungs and
ten or twelve rods of drift did not
look very forbidding so he was not
long in getting a clear track. Then
went another half mile and stalled
again, and again, Jack handed the
shovel to his guest, but it looked and
felt considerably heavier that time.
However, he shoveled an opening
through a drift nearly even with the
backs of the horses and they made
the Woodlot without further Interrupt
ton. They drove up near dead and
dry hemlock that Ed said was not
less. than thirty inches in diameter
and as near as he could judge, 200
feet high Jack got out and tied and
blanketed the team, and said that was
where they were going to get their

gave one to Ed, and they went at it. 1t
was easy enough for Sisson but it
was new and strange work for Per-
reault. Unfortunately, he had frequent
ly talked around his hotel about the
way he used to swing an axe and pull
a saw in the woods around Houghton,
Michigan SO that he attacked his side
bravely and with determination At
last it fell, and then they took the
saw and proceeded to make stove
wood blocks. Ed said he helped pull
the saw through lit blocks, and then
Jack told him to split them and load
the rig and pile up the rest so that
it could be found some other time,
and he would go and look at some
traps that he had set out around there
before Christmas. He left with the
dog while Ed did as requested. Jack
came back about 400 p. M, with
three muskrats and mink, and then
they started for home. They arrived

near the center. The double-wall silo
is undoubtedly warmer than other
kinds. Then, besides, placing good
roof on the silo will help to check
frost.
In a well proportional silo the
height is from two and half to three
times the diameter Silos less than
80 feet high are not very desirable.
The short, squatty types are largely
things of the past. To keep silage
from molding build the silo SO that
it has enough capacity for the herd,
but 50 that at least two inches may
be fed off daily. Tables on the rate
of feeding silage may be had upon
application to the college of agricul-
ture, Madison, or the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington,
Many silo catalogs carry this infor-
nation also.

COMMUNITY METHOD
TAKES OUT DRUDGERY
Land Clearing the New Way
Gets Results, if Washburn
County Is Criterion
Villas Will Follow

Land clearing, easily the biggest
problem in many of the upper coun-
ties of Wisconsin, is at last begun
as great community enterprise.
Washburn county has the proof that
the plan pays.
In this county grubbing stumps is
not merely the back-breaking job of
each lonesome farmer working by
himself It is made the business of
everybody to encourage the work,
not merely with rugged words, but
with tangible, material help that
counts.
Washburn county farmers, 1000
strong, pledged themselves to clear
10 acres of land each on the average
in 1921. BY common buying of blast
ing supplies, worth 100000, it is esti-
mated that $4,000 was saved for
farmers. The net value to the county
of the cleared land which resulted
from this campaign is estimated at
not less than $2,OO0,O00-no small
sum to add to the wealth of an upper
Wisconsin county in single year.
Like many other counties Wash
burn had only small part of its
area cultivated, about per cent in
1909 This was brought up to more
than Z per cent in 1919 and now
some townships have passed the 10
| per cent mark, although others are
still in the per cent class.
But buying cheap blasting supplies
was not the only way in which land
clearing was promoted. A great edu-
cational propaganda was started at
the same time. There were land
clearing meetings, demonstrations,
farm calls and personal talks. There
were 70 meetings alone with an
average attendance of 78 at each.
Best Of all there were schools,
groups of 25 farmers or less, who
were taken out into the field and
shown how to attack the job of clear
ing with the best results. The farm
ers did the work. They were shown
how to save materials, how to make
short cuts, how to take advantage of
information heretofore possessed
only by experts. No less than SO
demonstrations we're held with an
average of 81 men at each one.
Results great enthusiasm for land
clearing Everyone gets into the
game. The bankers help with their
credit. Other business men help in
other ways. One farmer tries to outdC
his neighbor. The clearing idea be-
comes contagious. What was before
sheer drudgery becomes sport in a
way because of the competitive feat
ures. The work is still there, but il
is no longer drudgery.
And when this whirlwind attack
on brush and stumps subsidies and the
returns are counted up, it is found
that over 10000 acres Of land have
been cleared in the good-natured fray
instead of $3.50 acres the year prev
ious. The clearing results for a year

Hayward's Philosophy
E. T. Hayward, Conover Wis.
YOUR CONSCIENCE

Your conscience is just like faithful
old dog,
It will follow wherever you go;
You may go through the rain, hail,
snow or fog,
1t is with you for veal or for woe.
You may try every way, to leave it
behind,
You may beat it and curse it in vain !;
But just look behind you, and there
you will find
That old faithful is with you again.
There is no way to shake it, try as
you may,
In the wheel of Your life, It's cog;
It is right at your heels, by night and
by day,
You can't get away from your dog.
