APPEAL FOR A
CLEAN co. FAIR
Bruce Man Thinks We Should
Have a Fair Devoted to the
Interests of the People
of Rusk Co.

Farm Editor, News-Budget:
May / have room for a knock and
boost? Now that the county fair
is over with all the noise and crowd
ing, let us consider results: The fair
proved several things, First, that we
don't have to go outside of Rusk coun-
ty to find good cattle, as the showing
Of local cattle this year proves. Sec
Ond that we need better accOmmO-
dations and buildings for showing
cattle. The present stables will not
shelter all of the cattle which will be
shown next year, as several more
breeders have announced their inten-
lions of showing. The main cattle
barn is hidden away behind the horse
barn and cavalry store-room and not
one-third Of the visitors saw the cat
tie in that barn this year or last. Sew
eral people told me after the fair last
year that there were no cattle on the
grounds. Why not have sufficient
room and have the buildings where
people can find them? The poultry
was crowded into the agricultural dis
play room and some left outside
where, if the weather had been bad,
considerable loss would have resulted.
Apparently some change should be
made in the fair management. At an
agricultural show it seems that more
interest should be shown in dairy cat
tie and crops, than in race horses, as
race horses do not improve the coun-
try, while dairy cattle do.
The annual fair book this year
blossomed out with front page bear
ing cut Of a bull of beef breed
which is very scarce in Rusk county.
Why not a cut Of dairy animal! The
premium list also carries 500 first pre-
MUM for the best beef bull, and only
$40 for the best dairy bull and we
wonder why.
I do not know who is responsible
for these errors, but such things are
not much Of a boost for dairying and
it looks like the fair board is rather
lax in several respects and needs
slight shaking Let's have a fair
board that the county board will trust
with sufficient funds to erect proper
buildings and boost the interests
which will put Rusk county to the
front. At the head Of the list write
dairying
This is not written in a spirit OF
malice, but as a boost for bigger and
better fair next year. In the mean
time, let's attend the national dairy
show and get our cattle in shape for
next year.

EXPLANATION of Prize

On receiving this letter we secured
year book Of this and last years
fairs. We note that in the sweep
for the best beef bull is $40 while the
prize for the best dairy bull is $1,000.
As we could not understand why this
should be as it is, we called on Super
intendent Miller and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION. He said that it was not
a mistake, and the 500 sweepstakes
prize was offered for a beef bull for
the reason that they wanted to get
class, or at least one bull Of beef
breed to show at the fair. This $50
with the $15 for first prize in the
class, as In all classes makes a total
of $35, which should have brought
out a bull of the beef type, but at
that, none were shown.
Added Comment
In regard to the cattle show, the
poultry and the barns, Mr.. Harder's
statements are quite true. Personal
", the farm editor feels that the Rusk
county fair, supported by Rusk coun-
ty people, should boost Rusk county
from start to finish. We have enough
pure-bred cattle, hogs, and poultry
within our borders to make a very
creditable showing, and local breed
ers should be induced to bring their
live stock to the fair and outsiders
should be excluded. Barron county
is the leading dairy county Of upper
wisconsin and can well afford to get
along without any help from Rusk
county. The herd shown from that
county at our last fair is good
enough to show at the National Dairy
Show, and our farmers should not be
asked to compete with them. The pre-
MUM money and the advertising value
of showing at our fair it worth much
to advertise Rusk county If Rusk
county herds are shown. 1t is be-
cause local breeders failed to exhibit
that herds from other counties were
allowed to enter. AS to poultry, it is
absolutely unfair to our farmers for
outsiders to come here and clean up
the ribbons and get the advertising
that is ours by right.

SHELDON MAN BUILDS
FOR NEIGHR0RS

w. FL. Burss owns 4O-acre farm
one mile northeast of Sheldon. He
has been there three years and has
small buildings The forty is brushed
picked up, and seeded for pasture with
two acres plowed.
He had Is head of cows on this
land and Paul Dickman did the milk

Mr.. Burss is planning on a set of
new buildings for his farm as soon
as he can get time to build them.
Builds For Others
Mr.. Burss recently completed a new
barn, 32x48, for Mrs. Ida Dickman,
one-half mile east of Sheldon. This
barn has full basement, modern stalls
and stanchions and water will be in
stalled later.
He is now building a new house, 26x

OLD TIMER TURNS
FARM OVER TO SON
L. LaBerge and Wife To Retire
From Farm After 81 Years
Continuous Work

Living ON the same farm from
the ages of "a and 60 years, respective
~, is the experience of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ludger LaBerge. This worthy pair
who were the first white people to
locate in this part of Rusk county,
and Mrs. LaBerge the first white
woman to set foot and take up
residence this side of Holcombe. are
about to retire from their beautiful
215-acre farm, turning it over to their
son, Archie, with another son. Allen,
who will help handle the farm.
Mrs. Wilbur Jacobs, their oldest
daughter, was II months old when
they came here and they had only
been married two years at that time.
For years Mr.. LaBerge followed
the timber game, dividing his time be-
tween that work and building up his
farm. In that early day Flambeau
station on the 500 Line near where
the present depot stands, was picked
out as a likely place for county seat
cut off from Chippewa county. The
railroad was laid from Minneapolis
to Tony, and it was at the end Of the
line that the LaBerge's landed, and
then went to Little Falls, where lum-
Der camps were located on the south
bank Of the Flambeau river. They
worked there during the winter, and
in the spring they looked at the land
that is now their present home, pur
chased it Of an old friend and lum-
herman, John King, and started to
cut green hardwood and timber to
clear a spot to build home. Their
land was covered with heavy bass
wood, birch and maple, with a scat
tering of hemlock and pine. Today
some of the best pine and hardwood
timber in the county is on this farm.
Their first home was built Of logs
and is now sided up and plastered in
side and is used for a kitchen. There
is an addition 24x28, built ON the east
side Of the kitchen, and the lumber
for this building was sawed from the
logs grown on the farm. The build
ing used now as a granary, and the
large barn, with the kitchen described,
are some Of the oldest buildings in
the county.
A good-sized family was raised on
this farm and the children all worked
at home until maturity and received
good educatiOnS.
Their large barn is now equipped
with waterworks and manure carrier.
There are 80 acres under the pillow and
20 acres more have been cleared, free
from stumps.
From a solid forest these people
have carved out one Of the most beau
tiful farms in this part Of the state.
The land has been well tended and is
very productive. Seventy loads Of
hay, and other crops in proportion
were grown on this farm this year.
Mr.. and Mrs. LaBerge intend to
move to Ladysmith II they can buy
suitable home, otherwise they may
saw lumber from the timber on this
land and build a new house In Lady
smith or ON their farm.

displeasing to most decent people. We
would recommend their being denied
room on the grounds at future fairs.
Local business men should be given
the concessions, in fairness to them.
We believe no local business man
would have the nerve to charge a dime
for an ice cream cone with a penny's
worth OF ice cream in it. Such profit
eering should not be tolerated.
Gambling Games
Gambling games, when played for
money or goods Of any kind, should
be taboo. The cards are stacked
against the public and this class of
sport is big detriment to any COM
munity. Any of our merchants could
not operate some of the games that
held forth during our recent fair.
Why discriminate?
Easy to Criticize
While it is easy to criticize it is
hard to construct. Now that we have
put in our knocks, it is in order to give
the fair management their just dues.
1t costs money and lots of it to run
fair. All Of the fakirs, gypsies and
concession men we have condemned,
pay money for their privileges Of
fleeing the people at our fair. This
money is used to help defray the ex-
penses OF the fair and the more these

FIRE DOES GOOD JOB
ON BRUSHED LAND

Theodore Raul, who lives on his
320-acre farm, 31a miles southeast Of
Tony, broke ten acres Of land last year,
and now has II acres more nearly
ready to break. He uses his steam
engine and a big breaking pillow to do
the job.
Mr.. Raul said that he had cut out
a patch Of heavy brush last spring
and let 1t fall without piling A few
days ago he ran a fire over it and
burned all the brush and trash and
only has the heaviest logs and some
stumps left.
Last week he dug an acre of pota-
toes and got $50 bushels, which is
very much above the average yield
These potatoes were grown ON newly
broken pasture land.

KEEP YOUR SOIL FERTILE

Our land used to grow big trees; it
now grows big clover. In future
years will people say that the land
in Rusk county used to grow big clo-
yer? Farmers, it's up to you. A
county that maintains it's soil fertil-
ity by growing lots Of clover and keep
ing good dairy cows will attract the
best class of farmers after while and
they will pay twice as much for our
farms as they will pay for farms in
the corn or grain belts where the land
is wearing out year by year just as
surely as the sand in an hour glass
runs to the bottom bowl.
Keep your soil fertile if you would
prosper.

the work on the farm. They have
broken three acres and brushed three
acres since last spring. They have a
small house and barn.
d. Fl. Mather has 12-acre farm
just west Of the city. Much OF his
little farm was formerly marsh or
swamp land and was wet until drain
was put in. But the soil is fertile and
produces good crops now. During the
past season he has raised good crops
of vegetab les and grain4 He raised
some very fine potatoes and from ~
bushels of wheat raised so bushels
of grain, which he has been selling at
$3.50 q bushel. He keeps a Durham
cow from which was sold 500 worth
of milk since last February, and, be-
sides, had all the milk he needed for
his own household. He does not keep

The free attractions and horse races
were good and the News-Budget is
ready to appreciate the efforts made
by the fair management in putting
on as good a fair as they did, and in
making it pay out. There is a lot of
hard, thankless work to put on a fair,
and it is not easy to get man to take

Mr.. Miller did. If there is man
who could do it and would take the

introduces a quantity lovable old
chap whose greatest ambition in life
is to assist in making the world
pleasanter for his fellow beings. His
opportunity comes when a little
crippled orphan boy is left in his
charge by his dying mother. The
settings of this picture are mostly
