the history of the river not only be-
cause It has exceeded all previous rec.

recent years developed into large

toes The truck farms are irrigated by
canals supplied by pumping from the
Rio Grande and in time Of flood these
canals become a menace.

FARM LOAN BONDS

The twelve federal land banks of
the country have just offered $75,-
100000 of per cent federal farm
loan bonds at the price Of 102 3-8
and accrued interest, at which price
they will yield approximately 4.70
percent to callable date and 5 per
cent thereafter.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
said: "This is the largest offering
offarm loan bonds ever made, but in
view of the generally favorable trend
of the investment market and the
continued strong showing of the
federal loan banks, it is believed that
it will be readily absorbed, and as the
funds will go direct to the farmers of
the country it should do much to i'm
prove the agricultural situation"

TIME IS ESSENCE OF
!. SUCCESSFUL FARMING

Farming is. manufacturing indus
try. In order to be profitable an
industry must produce efficiency, To
produce efficiency modern machinery
must be used in order that the out
put per unit man is greatest, says
Professor G. w. McCuen of Ohio
State University. The modern manu-
facturer in these hard times is not
selling off his automatic machinery
and going back to methods used
decade ago. He is living in the flu
ture. A man of broad vision will
not take step backward, but in order
to compete on a declining market he
lis looking at every turn to see whet-
her or not he cannot increase the out
put per man. This is where power
farming is justified. In order to
produce beef cheaply the corn must
be produced at minimum cost. Late
sprnig often puts the man with made
quate source of power in deep hole.
To produce a good corn crop it must
be planted in a well-prepared seed
bed at the proper time. T he tractor
knows no ten hour day. 1t often
stands between a good crop and a
poor crop by being able to do great
amount of work in short-time inter-
walls. This credit is never given to
the tractor and cannot be estimated
in dollars and cents.

IRON RIVER
From Iron River Pioneer
OLD LAW PRAC-
TICALLY RESTORED

1t will probably be of interest to
know that, at the last session of the
Wisconsin Legislature, the old law
respecting the terms of office of town
officers was practically restored by
the enactment of Chapter 33S.
Under its provision, supervisors,
which includes the chairman, are to
be elected fora term of one year in
stead Of three, but those whose terms
have not expired, shall hold Office for
the balance Of their term or until
their successor is elected and quail
fies.
The authority granted under para
graph I'D, of subsection 2 of section
1903, to the County Boards of Su-
pervisors to change theterm of Office
of supervisors. to change the tern, Of
Office of supervisors from one to three
years, is taken away by an amend
ment to that section.
The Pioneer has been asked wheth-
er chairman appointed to fill a va
cancy, holds office for the residue of
the term of his predecessor, or whe-
Their he must, if he desires tocontinue
his office, be reelected at the follow
ing annual town meeting. In an
swer to that question we will say
that Section rs of Chapter II clear
ly decides that question. Ii the va
cancy occurs twelve or more days be-
fore the annual spring election, the
appointee must be reelected to hold
office, and this applies to members of
the side board as well as the chair
man of the Board.
1t would appear by that section
that not only is there to be an cleo.
ton of chairman in Iron River this
spring, but for two supervisors as
well, for both are appointees to fill
the unexpired terms of other men
and both are holders over as super
visors because their successors have
not been elected and qualified.
