ONE NEVER LOSES
WHAT THEY NEVER HAD

Experts estimate that Rusk county
lost eight to ten thousand dollars this
year by not having county agent to
push the sale of INT. We believe
this statement to be overdrawn as our
farmers were amply notified by the
News-Budget that INT was to be had
by ordering it through the banks. Those
who wanted it and could pay for it
took advantage of the offer
No doubt a county agent could have
driven over the county and taken
more orders than were placed volun-
tarily but that would not have helped
the farmer to pay for it. We take
consolation in the old saying that one
cannot lose what he never had.

SUMMING UP
3 YEARS. WORK
Review Work of Farm Depart
ment During Its Existence
and Outline of What 1t
Has Advocated

What has the News Budgets farm
department done for you during the
past three years?
We have worked toward a goal of
better farming, better living and great
er prosperity for the farmers of Rusk
county.
We have pushed land clearing in a
sane and sensible way through the
"Rusk County Plan,' which is the SIM
plest and easiest of all land clearing
methods First to brush for pasture,
cutting all brush close to the ground,
burning and seeding.
On land not to be pastured we ad-
vocated brushing, logging, picking up
trash and piling to the dead stumps
and burning. Then leveling and seed
ing, leaving the stumps until the
cream checks would pay for the dyna-
mite.
Little Use For Pl0w
We have not boosted the breaking
Of green land, and have not been in
favor of cultivated crops that take
ones time from his brushing opera
tons We have strongly advocated
raising enough clover with timothy to
help hold the clover off Of the ground
and, to fill up patches where clover
winter kills." have preferred fodder
that would make good cow-feed to cash
crops of any kind.
We have urged pure-bred bulls nd
good dairy cows, encouraged farmers
to feed better, showing value of pro-
TEN feeds in farm fertility as well as
at the pail; have favored cow testing
associations and printed their reports
free of charge. We have also plead
with farmers to raise heifer calves
from their best milk cows.
We have preferred good horses of
medium weight for farm power, but
we have been fair to tractors and have
never failed to publish accounts Of the
good work they have done when we
could secure such reports
Glover and Cows
We have changed the old slogan of
"COws and Glover" to "Clover and
Cows" have cited many cases of fail
ure by the cow and clover route and
many more successes by the clover and
COW route. The COW must have clio
yer before she can give milk, SO clo-
yer and plenty of it should be secured
along with comfortable barns, before
cows can bring prosperity. Many set
tiers have learned this lesson at their
own expense and many more have
learned it through the farm depart
ment and saved money.
Chickens Are Profit Makers
We have always favored chickens on
the farms. There is nothing the
farmer can have that will yield as
much net profit as a small select flock
of pullets and hens if properly cared
for. Where one feeds SKINNED milk
to the chickens and raises his best
heifer calves, he does not need any
hogs and at most should stop with one
or two for the first few years on a
new farm. Safe to say that over half
OF the hogs in Northern Wisconsin
''eat their heads off" and the other
half show but little profit. Hogs will
have their place later as the country
gets more developed, but until we raise
plenty Of our own feed for them we
can make no money on them unless
we are experts and know lust how TO
do it.

F. C.. GOODWIN TO

f. G. Goodwin, who owns so acres
of land near the Harry Baxter farm
in the town of Big Falls wrote us
some time ago from his present home
near Patton, Iowa, that he and the
man who owns the farm he is renting
were coming to Ladysmith this win
ter.
He reports corn crop of so bushels
per acre and has livestock enough so
he will feed it all out. He threshed
1000 bushels of oats and has 80 acres
of good blue grass pasture. His land
lord owns 1900 acres of land in Saw

TOWN OF GRANT

Roy Jennings moved recently from
Melrose to a 4O-acre farm joining his
brother, J. r. Jennings farm on the
west. This forty belongs to the boys
father but Roy will probably buy it in
the spring. He will keep some good
cows so as to help his brother supply

There are 26 acres under the pillow
on this farm. The town of Grant

TO LET
C0NTRACTS0N
100000 JOB
Construction Will Start at
Mouth of Whitebird Creek
and Continue up Salmon
Idaho to Expend 100000
in Building Standard High
way North of New Meadows

Idaho state department of
public works will, about Feb
ruary Is, call for bids for two
highway construction jobs be-
tween Whitebird and New
Meadows, at an approximate
cost of half a million dollars,
it is learned on reliable autho-
rity.
The projects are both on the North
and South highway. One job, to he
let at an approximate cost of $780,
600, will comprise the building of
standard highway up the Salmon river
from the mouth of Whitebird creek,
where the Grangeville- Whitebird link
of the highway ends, This highway
will supplant the old road, including
what is known as the "convict" road
just south of the mouth of Whitebird
creek.
ONE LONG STRETCH
1t is announced that the new high
save where links of the standard high
way built in 192021 are encountered.
How far south the new work will ex-
tend, engineers have not made public
in estimates on the Job. The work will
be pushed until the entire 100000,
state and federal money, is expended.
Amount of new road that will be built
will depend upon the success with
which the state meets in its call for
bids.
Recent bids submitted by contrac-
tors on state highway jobs indicate a
notable reduction in cost of highway
construction, and it is believed much
more work can be done with
given expenditure, this year, than
would have been possible one, two or
three years ago.
$3.50 FOR LABORERS
One contract, recently let, was on
basis of $3.50 a day for common
labor, it is declared. Other costs en-
tering into highway construction have
lessened, and contractors are eager for
work.
The second contract, for which bids
are to be asked February Is, COM
prises a 100000 job, north from New
Meadows. This project covers a stony
and Undiscovered country, but does
not include heavy rock work such as
is encountered I'M the Salmon river
canyon.
The state, it is said, is determined
to push as rapidly as possible the
highway between Grangeville and
New Meadows. OF the ninety miles
between the two towns, forty miles
of new standard highway has been
built. Fifty miles remains to be con-
The expenditure of a half
million dollars on this road in the next
year is expected to leave but little of
the old road to be traversed in journey
ing between the two towns.
If satisfactory bids are received on
the two jobs the contracts will be let
in ediately after the bids are opened
it is believed, and actual construction
is expected to commence about March
