TEN THOUSAND BUSHEL
Radcliffe Brothers Harvest
10000 Bushels Prim e
Spuds on Farm Northwest
of Eagle River.

Radcliffe Brothers, on their pO-
tato farm northwest of Eagle
River, have finished the harvest
ing of their 1922 crop of certified
sruds the past week. The fifty
acres yielded 10,SOO bushels of GER
titled Rural New Workers, the crop
now being housed in their ware
house at Eagle River.
Not many years ago this farm
was a forest of hardwood; today
it has many acres under active
cultivation, and is producing to
the satisfaction of the owners.
Give this farm several years more,
and it will be second to none as
a producer of not only potatoes
but grains and grasses such as
the market demands at a good
price. This fall the state potato
men from the college of agricul-
ture spent a day demonstrating to
the public, especially the potato
grower, what could be accomplish
ed by the right kind of farm en-
ergies. 1t showed where rightly
placed the amount of labor ex-
pended never failed in producing
big results.
Villas county today has several
large and lucrative farms now de-
voting their energies to the pro-
duction of certified potatoes. AT
the state fair last month potatoes
from the Geo. ]. St. Clair farm won
first premium over all competitors
in the variety exhibited. Mr.. st.
Clair has builded strain of pO-
tatoes that are world heaters and
will have a prime exhibit at the
state potato show in October.
Sunset Farm, six miles from
Eagle River, will harvest some
thing like $4,000 bushels of Tr-
umphs and Cobblers. This is an
other farm that has been among
the largest in the country and has
carried off first honors for many
years at state potato shows in
competition with hundreds of
growers.
Give Villas county a few years
more at the potato game and
there will be no near competitors
when county and state exhibits
are shown.

Thousands of cartridges were
taken by sportsmen during the
five days of open hunting last
week in this northern part of the
state where hunting is prime for
game birds. The season opened
last Wednesday, closing Sunday
evening. The bag limit of five
birds each day and but five birds
in possession at any one time,
was followed very closely by the
real good sportsman, but usually
hogged by some who were after
birds and were not after the pro
lection of wild life, even though
there were plenty for all. 1t IS
said by the hunter who canvassed
the partridge grounds that the
birds were plentiful this year, and
that the closing of the season for
the five-year period was one of
the best acts the conservation
commission had done for many
years. Now that the prairie chick
en- and partridge seasons have
closed, the only thing left for the
sportsman is duck shooting and
the deer season. Then he will
hole up" until next year and al
low his shotgun TO accumulate a
mighty fine coat of rust.

NOW OPEN TO TRAFFIC
Highway From Phelps to Lac
Vieux Desert Being Finish
ed and in Good Condition;

The work on the town highway
from the village of Phelps north
to Lac Vieux Desert has progressed
so far that travel over that scenic
route can easily be made by any
make of car at a good speed. This
highway, on account of the many
steep and rough hills has long
been a menace to traffic, especial
ly after a hard rain, when it would
wash away the roadbed.
The town of Phelps floated a
bond issue recently for $4,000 in
order to rebuild this road and add
many new spur roads in that town.
The Lac Vieux Desert road now
has very few hills to drive up and
down, the road now going around
them and is very level. 1t passed
over the most scenic part of that
section, its six or seven miles be-
ing through virgin hardwood.
Right now, on account of the col
oring of the hardwood foliage, it
is a beauty spot and the motorists
find great pleasure in driving it's
length. When completed it will
add much to the business of
Phelps, and will make a shorter
route to the county seat than at
present used by the Lac Vieux
Desert resident.

Interviews with many of the old

this team, and should there be
any omissions of players or garb-

should be extended the writer.

bat for Eagle River. This year he
did the same classy, scrappy work
behind the plate, and is the only
one of the old players to last twen-

winning qualifications, and it is
to be hoped that being flair, lean

the twirling artists TO shoot EN-

Mr.. Ewald's birth anniversary
being on Wednesday, his legion of
fan friends and other friends, pre-
sented him with a gold watch and
fob, fittingly inscribed, as a token

Crop Shortage M Europe
 WiU Boost q. s. Exports

Washington, May 3.-Europe will rely heavily this year upon the Uni ted States, both for raw materials and foodStuffs- Americas exports, there fore, will continue in as large a vol ume, if not larger than in 1921. The best estimates of American trade ob- servers today revealed that Europe's S crops are not up to predictions.
 Americas wheat surplus will be drawn upon to make up shortages in different European countries. While crops in the chief grain-growing re- gfons of Europe are in fair condition there will be deficiency in output because of poor results from the sow ings last fall
 Competent experts abroad report Ing to the Commerce Department and other government agencies, agree that to make up the shortage in the larger larger deficiency in the Central Euro pean countries will mean a steadier flow of American products to Euro -pean buyers.
 A more hopeful view prevails of Europe's ability to finance heavier purchases. Reports to the Federal Reserve Board and other fiscal agen- cies indicate that European securi- in the United States at the present time, and the result will be the es- tablishment of new credit channels, through which larger foreign trade may be arranged.
 Trade experts, reviewing Europe's food needs for the remainder of this year, cite the following facts:
 Foreign Conditions.
 Rumania, one of Europe's great grain stOreh ouses, offers bad pros poets for next seasons harveSts.
 Intensive efforts are being made by England, France, Italy and Rumania, to increase Spring planting to make up part of expected shortages.
 In Germany, the Netherlands and Poland the potato shortage, with ac- companyings high prices, has tended to stimulate larger acreage of pota- toes at the expense of beet sugar acreage.
 Conditions closer to normal appear

to exist in Belgium, Scandinvia and Italy.
 In war areas of Europe it is esti- mated that 90 per cent of the farm land will be under cultivation this year.
 Heavy buying this spring already has restored partially the depleted grain stocks of Great Britain.
 France, Belgium and the Neither lands must continue to purchase heavily of grains through the entire summer experts declared.
 Most persistent demand comes from Central Europe. This is due to the exhaustion of native grain stocks po- tato shortage, scant supplies of fod- der as result of the drought last autumn.
 Austria's import demands of flour alone probably will amount to 324,- 900 tons between March 1 and Aug uSt l.
 Germany is far from seIf-support- ing in her foodstuff production and must continue to buy extensively of American exporters

Real Cave Man Is Found In Colorado

Cripple Creek, Col. May 3 - The 1 Cave Man of the Rockies has been discovered in the hills west of this city | in the person of Dave Marsh, an efgh- | ty-seven-year old negro.
 l For score of years Marsh, a for l mer slave, has led practically her ! init life, making his abode in an un- | derground tunnel of hillside facing
 Mt. Pisgah, two miles west of Cripple | Creek.
 | The tunnel blasted from solid rock | by some early day gold prospector burrows in the mountains for a dis | tance of more than forty fet- The subterranean home of the aged cave man is dark as a dungeon and
 distance. Marsh does all his cook | ing over a stone fire at the entrance | to the cave, and has to crawl on his
 hands and knees into the dark pas sage by the light of a candle to reach his tumbled-down bed.
 Marsh. in his twenty-year cave ca
 reer. has developed an interesting philosophy of life. "A happy life near lonely existence, and declares he would not forsake the cave for the
 best house ever built by a white man" in proof of which he has re-
 shack erected for him near the edge
 of the tunnel by Teller County au- thorities
 | Came West Thirty Years Ago. Marsh says he was born in North Carolina and was raised in slavery. | Nearly thirty years ago he came West. In the boom days of Cripple | Creek, he prospected for time in the l greatest gold camp in the world D | but had little success, and twenty
 years ago he forsook the ''hurly- burly | Of the wicked world'' to become the original Cave Man of the Rockies The old negro spends much of his time during the daylight hours read
 ing the Bible. sitting at the entrance to his strange home.
 ''I try to follow the teaching of the 1 Holy Book" he declared. ffI keep my
 brain clear by living near nature, and living in the open keeps me in good health"
 The heavy snows and blizza-ds that descended upon Cripple Creek during | the Winter have had no terror for the cave man After a severe storm he quietly digs himseH out, removes the l snow from around the cave mouth | and rebuiljS his fire over which his | frugal meals are prepared. consisting | chiefly of rabbits birds and vegetables.
