Certainly, Mr.. Thompson hopes

When the party OF nine men broke

Farmers Go to Ashland.
(By Agent Dan Shafer)

A large number of automobiles
carrying Iron county farmers were
seen along the roads early Wednes-
day morning, headed for the state
experiment farm at Ashland June
ton. 1t is estimated that between
so and rs persons attended from
this county.
During the forenoon the crowd
gathered in the grove and listened
to very interesting addresses by
Prof. R. A. Moore, head of the
Agronimy Department, aud one OF
the foremost plant breeders in the
United States. The professor told
of some of the problems of the plant
breeder in his work, and explained
how new varieties of seed were pro.
duced and distributed to the farm
ers of the world. Wisconsin grown
pedigree seeds are now distributed d
to all parts of the world. The de-
mand fof Wisconsin grown seeds al
ways exceeds the supply, he stated
but warned the farmers not to for
get quality when sending out seeds
Following Prof Moore, Prof +
B. Morrison, assistant director ii
the Experiment Station, and also
professor of animal husbandry
gave us some very interesting facts
! concerning animal feeding and an
imal nutrition, He showed very
plainly the need Of feeding BALANCED
rations to dairy cattle, at this aGC
! all times. He proved conclusivell
Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1922-08-05

that It meant great deal in dollars
and cents, and that it often meant
real profit or actual loss. Prof.
Morrison also explained the use of
mineral salts and vitamine in ami.
NAL feeding He advised strongly
against the purchasing of the so
called mineral salts. vitamine salts
etc, declaring that the claims made
for most of these were pure lies
and bunk. -
After Prof. Morrison's talk came
dinner, which was welcomed by
all. Immediately after dinner the
men folks were divided into squads
and they went out to the expert
ment farm and saw the plots of
peas, corn, wheat, rye, alfalfa,
clover and root crops. Here we
found experts like Prot. Briggs,
Prof. Musbach, +. c. Luther and
Others waiting TO tell us all about
the experimental work.
While the men were enjoying
themselves the women folks were
entertained and received valuable
information. Prof. Halpin on
poultry and Mrs. Nellie Kedsie
Jones on household problems.
The boys and girls were not for
gotten, for Prof. Bewick, state club
leader, was there to entertain them
1t was very evident that the boys
and girls had a good time for their
smiles told the world" that the,
had loads of fun.
The trip certainly was worth
while, and we all considered the
day we'll spent We all had the
opportunity to learn how new var
ieties of grain were produced, how
fertilage tests were carried on anC
how tillage tests were made. We
all are looking forward to making
the trip next year.

ORE SHIPPING
GOING GOOD
Despite the Strikes of Coal Miners and
Railway Shopmen Ore Shipping
Holding Its Own.

In spite of strikes of coal miners
and railway shopmen, which cut the
shipping of ore to almost one-third
on some of the roads, both the
Northwestern and 500 ore docks at
Ashland have shipped out more
than three times as much ore in Ju-
ly, 1922, as in July, 1921.
The total tonnage for July at the
Northwestern is 1905 ,oo2, which
is about three times greater than
that of the same month last year.
At the 500 dock the July shipments
amount to $50 6o6 tons, bringing
the total for the season up to Aug
ust to 56I,587 tons for that dock
Records from July, 1921, for the
500 show 40, oo5 tons for July, and
1851 tons for the season to Aug
ust 1.
An average of six or seven ore
carriers clear from the Ashland
docks every day. The end of the
week usally sees slump in the
number of steamers docking here,
but the rush at the beginning Of
the week makes up for it.
Shipments from the Head of the
Lakes for July doubled those for
the same period in 1921 The total
tonnage for last month was : ,68S, :
$50, bringing the season 5 total up
to Ia $40 6I8 tons. These figures
stand contrast to a little more than
three million tons in July, 1921, and
nine million for the season to Aug.
