GOVERNOR FOR
CUT IN BUDGET
Sends Message to Legislature
Asking for S13,896, 246--
Cut of $1,400,0 900

TRENTON, Jan. 10.-Cutting
down his recommendations for ap-
preparations by W. $1,400. 900 over
last years figures. Governor Ed
wards today submitted to the two
houses of the legislature his budget
message asking TO: total a%ppropria-
tons Of S13.S96,246.74. Expendi-
lures from revenue allotted TO high
ways and school. will bring this up
to $27.30i.476.7 as total expendi-
lures for the next fiscal year which
have the executive sanction. The
total estimated of the state
as submitted by the state treasurer
and state compti olier, VIII be $13,-
~334,640. a figure over half a million
less than the appropriations asked.
The government allrdes to the provi-
sion of the budget act which requires
his recommendations not to exceed
the estimated revenues, but no ex-
PLANTATION of the apparent discrep-
ancies could be obtained today.
The governor, however, in his
message declares that since the esti-
mate was made, business and finan-
cial conditions have improved, and
that there is every reason to>believe
that the states revenues for the
present year, as we'll as the next year
will be substantially in excess of the
estimate, which was prepared three
months ago" The excess he esti-
mates at between 100000 and
100000 a year.
Appropriations of 81 ,001 1855 for
new buildings at the institutions are
suggested. in case the unexpended
balances at the time the appropria-
ton act is passeh are sufficient.
The chief executive finds it neces-
sary to omit the usual 100000 APP
preparation for the state road fund,
for aid to counties. but suggests that
his proposed one-cent tax on gasoline
would net money for this purpose.
Interesting items also recommend
ed. in ease funds are available, in
clude $275,000 to supplement the
present 100000 appropriation for
the ne primary unit of the deaf
mute school: $4,000 for furniture
and equipment of the Glassboro
Normal School. and $50, 600 for other
expens IS. and $4,000 for a new
heating, lighting and cold storage

new Jersey Forests
Our forests constitute one of the
states great neglected resources.
Nearly half of our area is forest
land, most of which will lie idle I'M
less it grows the timber that we
need. Users in the state now i'm
port nine-tenths of their lumber and
pay more than five million dollars a

greater part of this. and of the pur-
chase price of the material, could be
kept at home by growing the tim

This situation is due merely to
forest fires; our soils are right, our
climate is favorable. Through years
of effort conditions have greatly i'm
proved; a small part of our wood

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH FARMING?

Why United States farmers are fac
ing severe losses all along the line
again this year is a big problem. A
comparison of this country with Den
mark might give little light on
what's wrong with farming here.
Today the American farmer is re-
ceiving 80 cents out of every dollar
the consumer pays for his product,
while the Danish farmer receives so
cents Lack of economical conditions
of marketing is the secret of the prob
lem in a nutshell
In order to pay everyone between
producer and consumer the handsome
profits they demand, there can be but
little left for the farmer, and the con-
sumner is mulcted so that he can save
nothing These things must change
soon if America expects to keep farm
ers enough on the land to feed the
people.

TOWN OF GRANT
HELPS SETTLERS
Resolution To Give Settlers AL
Road Work Made By Town
Board II Years Ago Re-
suited in Good
Roads

Twelve years ago the town board of
the town of Grant passed resolution
that all road work in the town should
be done by settlers, and that they were
to be allowed to work out their taxes
in that way. Other work, such as
building schoolhouses, digging cellars,
and putting in easements for same
were also given settlers who wanted
to work
This method has proven very sat
isfactory and the town of Grant now
has more roads of high quality than
any other town in the county. When
once graded they prefer to let the set
tiers haul gravel to make good sur
face, rather than to dig up their roads
every year or two with grader
Settlers have appreciated this meth
cd and a large majority of them have
succeeded in making fine farm homes
for themselves and becoming indie
pendent. AS they get land enough
cleared so they can make money
enough from their farms to meet ex-
penses and to pay taxes, they work
at home and let the newer settlers
have the public work and in this way
the new settler often draws money
enough from his work to more than
pay his taxes and it helps him to pros
per- This method should be followed
! in every town in Northern Wisconsin.

MISPRINT CAUSES
SOME CRITICISM

The year book of the county fair in
a misprint quoted prizes for Plymouth
Rock chickens at rs cents, instead OF
$3.50 as quoted for the other breeds
A correction was published by the pa.
per that printed the booklets.
Some of our best Plymouth Rock
breeders failed to see the correction
and felt that they were being discrim-
mated against and instead of asking
the fair officials about it, made no
showing of their poultry at the fair.
Our county fair board plays no ia
vorites in making their premium lists
and all breeds OF poultry or anything
else is placed on the same basis.

GOOD START TOWARD
FINE FARM HOME

Henry Gerberding has lived in Rusk
county for ten years, and six years ago
bought AZ acres of wild land, AZ miles
southeast of Conrath that he is living
on.
He has eight acres stumped and
plowed and two acres more on which
the stumps have been blasted. Fiji
teen acres more have been brushed
and seeded for pasture.
Two years ago his house and fur
niture burned up and he built a new
story and half house, 16x2S, with
full basement. He has a barn, 26x40,
with big hay NOW. His land along
the road is high with just slope
enough for excellent drainage.
Mr.. Gerberding has fine start and
will, in the course of time have one
of the finest little farms in the county.

SOME POTATO YIELDS
IN Risk COTTNTY

Bearing out our statement that
Wisconsin didn't have one-half of her
usual potato crop this year as against
the bumper crop estimated, and sent
out in the reports, by the state and
government, we quote the following
yields in Rusk county which are far
better than the yields in eastern,
southern, or western part of the
state.
HI. B. Theesfeld, who lives five
miles southeast of Ladysmith, reports
yield of $50 bushels of potatoes on
~ acres, which makes 166 bushels
per acre. This is the best yield re-
ported this fall to the News-Budget.
Five acres ON the John Pember
farm between Sheldon and Conrath
yielded less than 100 bushels per acre.
Tom Graham, of Bruce, is not going
to get over half as many potatoes per
acre as he did last year, judging from
the appearance of his field.
Adam Stub, on the Ed Stoker farm,
south Of Glen Flora, dug three acres
of potatoes last week that yielded
about 70 bushels per acre.
Joe Rathsack, of Glen Flora, says
his potatoes are better than the aver
age and estimates his yield at 100
bushels per acre.
Chris Gilbertson, six miles north
east of Ladysmith, got 40 bushels
from one-half acre on new land that
had been in clover pasture for five
years. Part of this field was very
good, being planted with certified
Green Mountain potatoes, and the rest
of the field, planted with common po-
tatoes, reduced the yield. This land
was well worked before planting and
was well tended. 1t was entirely free
from weeds during the growing sea-
son and at digging time. Bugs did no
damage to this field.
Where is the Big Crop?
With the abundance of rain that we
received here during the growing sea-
son, and the extreme dry weather in
a large portion of the United States,
coupled with the fact that potatoes
need lot of rain, as they are largely
composed of water, we are wondering
where the reporters of large potato
yield in the United States get any re-
liable basis for their claims.
There is a big run of potatoes on
the market from many points, which
fact goes to bear out the claim of
large crop.
Conditions, financially, among farm
ers are critical, and the extreme need
of ready money, and not the big yield,
is in our opinion responsible for the
present large shipments of potatoes
to market.
One dollar per cwt. at digging time
is equal to or better than $3.50 in the
spring, which is fact that always
should be considered in determining
whether it is better to sell or hold POI
tatoes.

VEAL CALVES WILL
SOON BE HIGHER

Cattle prices have been hammered
down by reports of over-supplies of
cattle for the last three years, which
forced growers to sell, so that now
there is little left but about half the
usual number of cows and calves.
The one, two and three-year-old cat
tie are scarce thing and feeders who
have stayed in the game did so only
by the feeding out of baby beef.
Hides during the past two years have
hardly paid for the labor Of taking
them off.

CLOVER SEED YIELD OF
ONLY 200 LBS. PER ACRE

Gust Rorshach is one of the Oldest
settlers near the Port Arthur dam.
He has lived on his 40-acre farm for
the past Is years, and has 20 acres
under the pillow, free from stumps,
and the rest of his land is pasture
This year he has added fou +
acres to his clearing by brushing out
young poplar, cutting them off at the
roots thus leaving no stump. He said
that it took little longer to get the
work done that way, but it made the
work of leveling easier.
Mr.. Rorshach reports yield OF
200 pounds of red clover seed from
an acre, which he said is above the
average yield in his vicinity.

BRUSH AND BURN
PEMBER'S PLAN
Method Which Resembles the
Rusk County Plan is Respon-
sible For One of Large
Clearings Near
Sheldon

John Pember owns 120 acres of land
80 miles northwest of Sheldon. For
years his system of clearing land has
been to brush, cut old logs, roll them
together and follow with fires. Then
he sowed grass seed wherever it had
chance to grow. When this grass
had grown enough and became dry
enough, he ran another fire over his
land AS result of this method,
coupled with picking up and logging
after the fires, he has 20 acres that
are cleared and in fields or meadow,
with the exception of a few acres that
have a few stumps left.
Mr.. Pember prefers fall fires, as
there is more light stuff to burn than
in the spring, and fall fires usually
kill the brush
Land once seeded generally will
produce a good growth of grass with
out re-seeding, but if the fire is not
enough so that more seed is necessary,
it is better, as the logs and stumps
are burned more.
BIlllOn DOLLAR UraSS
Mr.. Pember has eight acres of "bil-
lion dollar grass that is fine crop
and will be threshed for seed. He
has five acres of potatoes that yielded
between 400 and 500 bushels, or less
than 100 bushels per acre. He said
that if prices were reasonable these
potatoes should bring $1.00 per bushel
now, as the patch was kept clean and
the field is probably above the average
as it was grown on good, new land
that had been in clover for years.
| There is a lot Of hay on this farm
this year and in other years hay has
been the crop raised as it gave more
time to clear land than when cult
waited crops were grown.
The basement is in for a new house
one and one-half stories, 24x2S, which
will be built of cement. There are q
good set of old buildings on the place

FANCY HOLSTEINS
CHANGE HANDS

PecOnic Johanna Rue No. 3SlO76,
the Holstein cow owned by John
Kostman, of Bruce, and exhibited at
our last county fair is an extra good
COW. She won first in the aged cow
class and was grand champion cow
over all dairy breeds.
Mr.. Kostman purchased her as a
two-year-old four years ago and dur
ing this time she has given birth to
four heifer calves. Three of her off
spring were shown at the county fair
and each won first, with the eXcep-
tion of the three-year-old, which was
placed second to the old cow. She is
not only a show COW, but produces
show cattle. She has qualified as a
Register of Production Cow.
Since the fair Mr. Kostman has sold
her yearling and two-year-old heifers
to w. III. Golf & Son of Bruce. As
these men are members of the Bruce
Holstein Club, the old COW and her
daughters may be shown together in
classes of cow and offspring at future
fairs.

WISCONSIN SPUDS
ARE HALF A CROP

Anyone who thinks there is a big
crop of potatoes in Wisconsin needs
only to go to st. Paul and look at the
potatoes being loaded on the cars.
After one leaves Rusk county the po-
tatoes are very much smaller than
they should be for normal crop. We
are not willing to change our estimate
on the Wisconsin potato crop being
not more than half of what it is in a
normal year.

When the reaction comes and the

cattle growers will get high prices for

CLOVER SEED AND
HAY is CHEAP

Hay and clover seed are not bringing
enough money to pay what they
should at the present time. While the
yield was fine in this section these
commodities are a scarce article in the
corn belt this year. Prices are very
apt to advance until these crops show
a handsome profit in the spring to the
men who own them then.
