SCHOOL MEETING
AT NATLACO LAST WEEK

The special school meeting held at
Natlaco Thursday evening of last
week for the purpose of correcting the
of the annual school meeting
of the district was disappointment
to those who signed the petition for
the meeting. The object was to
have the school board put the school
house on the Welcher corner as voted
by the people at previous meeting.
This vote was taken at a meeting, not
the annual meeting, so that there was
that could be done on account
of the error in making the call.
The ground is cleared on the Wild
mar corner and the school will be put
there.

knobs are free from stumps or snags
and are not s0dded,

mig SPEAKS AT
SHELDON PICNIC
Gives Talks on How to Judge
and Feed COws.-General
Talk on Northern Wis
cOnSin

G., II. Imig, a pioneer OF Northern
Wisconsin, who has built line farm
home from the wilderness is a man
of interesting personality and one VINO
thoroughly understands the subjects
he discussed. In his judging WORK at
the Sheldon farmers picnic Saturday
he said that the dairying industry was
essential to the success OF the setClers
of Northern wisconsin. Farmers mere
should make a study of COWS ana
Droper feeds for cows both to develop
them to good types and to make them
produce prOftably; start right with
high grade heifers and use pure-Dred
bull and get a pure-bred heller 20
match as soon as opportunity presents
itself, declared Mr.. Imig.
The substance of his speech was as
follows:
The first thing to consider in a cow
is health. They should be tuberculo-
sis-free. but don't need to be healthy
enough to make their way ON marsh
hay.
Large size is desirable as large COWS
are large consumers Of food and are
very apt to produce accordingly. A
cow should be wide at the nose, VIDE
between the eyes, rather long head,
wide in chest and at hips, thin neck,
straight back, pointed at wlthers,
Y-shaped body with well-shaped bag,
teats and milk veins. The V-shaped
COW is the typical dairy COW and she
should have a loose pliable hide. One
who can make a living with common
COWS should be able to get rich with
good ones.
Cows have been developed from the
state of giving scarcely milk enough
to feed a calf until now the best ones
have given $50 pounds Of milk per
day and 10000 pounds of milk per
year.
Feeding Calves
Mr.. Imig said that he fed his calves
three pounds, ~ quarts, of new milk
three times per day at first, and grad
ualIy increased the amount to a pail
full of slzim-milk at three months, the
change being made gradually. He feeds
grain mixture and good hay to his
calves at all times and keeps them in
clean barn screened from flies. The
grain consists of ground corn, oats
aid oil meal, and water is kept before
them at all times.
Grain For Cows
His cows are fed more or less grain
ond concentrated feeds the veal
around and are always in the bes
condition. Rutabagas and roots car
be used to take the place of half tht
grain. A little extra feed and care
of the COWS, is where the profit lays
Upper Wisconsin 20 Years Ago
Mr.. Imig said in his after-dinnel
speech that he went north into thu
wilds of Upper Wisconsin 20 years
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1922-08-11

ago. The north then was Marshfield
and Neillsville, and they were wilder
than the Sheldon country is today. He
thought that it was a wonderful colln-
try and his father came and located
at Neillsville on a piece of wilderness.
Now they have a 240-acre farm there
all under cultivation and cleared mead
ow, and the whole country down that
way is settled with fine farms, the
same as this country will be in ten or
twenty years.
The people at the picnic he said
came from 5000 to $500 land, believing
this to be a good country. There is
no longer any experiment about our
land as hundreds of thousands of men
have made beautiful farm homes and
built up fine dairy herds from just
such starts as the Sheldon settlers
have now. He told of friend who
visited him recently. AS they drove
over the country from Marshfeld to
Neillsville there were cheese factories
or creameries every two to four miles
along the main road. The friend said
that he had travelled from western
Kansas to New York city and had
never seen so many cheese factories
in a similar sized territory.
Great Playground
People from all over the United
States are coming to Upper Wisconsin
to get new homes and engage in the
dairy business. Other thousands are
coming to play as Upper Wisconsin is
now one of the greatest Fairgrounds
in the world, said Mr.. Imig.
Log Buildings

durable buildings can be made of logs
and they. should be utilized in every
way possible on the farm The barr

GREAT CROPS OF BARLEY

Rusk county crops are good this
year but there are fields that always
stand out ahead of the rest The best
field Of barley noted by the farm edi-
tor this year is on the Groves "Likity
Split Farm" half way between Con-
rath and Sheldon A big field north
of the house and another one south Of
the house show shocks thick and even
and is a fine testimony of what can
be done here. Pictures of these fields
are being taken by S. B. Packer to
use in the state immigration depart
ment work.

loft. CORN RAISED
IN TOWN OF GRANT

Geo. Moore brought three stalks of
corn grown on his little farm near the
hospital, to the News-Budget office
Tuesday. These stalks have as many
as three ears on them and one of the
ears is foot long from shank to tip
and the stalks measured 10 feet in
height. Mr.. Moore said that he
didn't care what we said about them
except that he wanted people to know
that this corn was grown in the town
of Grant.

BIG CORN IN DEWEY

Peter G. Leonhard, of the town of
Dewey saw the three big stalks of
corn the farm editor took into the
Rusk County Bank Tuesday and said
that he had four acres Of fine corn on
his farm, five and one-half miles
northeast of Ladysmith. He had a
half dozen fine stalks last year that
had two big ears each. He saved
these ears with the best ones he could
find and shelled them and mixed them
together for last springs planting.
Now in his field he has a lot of stalks
with two big ears on and will save the
seed for next year from these prolific
stalks
Mr.. LeOnhard owns 40 acres with So
acres cut and brushed off and IA acres
of it under the pillow. He has lived
there 13 years and when he started he
had heavy green timber ON all except
one acre that had been chopped off and
was grown up to raspberries.
He has a frame house 22x24 one
and one-half stories, hay barn, 1Sx
SO, with a lean-to for stock, 1896. He
has a system of waterworks and owns
eight cows He has a variety of
horses. Foxy Grandpa" is 30-year
old colt, and he has an 8-year-old mare
and her two-year-old colt that is now
as large as her mother.
Seven acres of hay yielded close to
two tons per acre and one acre of peas
yielded $40 above the seed. He has
crops of oats, barley, corn, potatoes,
and three acres of second growth clo-
yer that he is saving for seed.

SEEDING OPEN
LAND FOR HAY

B. e. Cline has lived on his S0-acre
farm 37@ miles north of Sheldon for
the past three years. He now has a
frame house and log barn. Seven
or eight acres are cleared up and 200
pounds of grass seed have been sowed
over the farm. The grass from this
seeding is good. He has three acres
of spuds, and keeps three COWS and
a team.
Mr.. Cline came here from Lafayette
county where land sells for 5000 to
$500 per acre. He thinks the chance
is good here for any man who will
hustle to get farm.

settlers there are planning on having

they are in this territory and would
like to have Ladysmith as their coun-
ty seat.

No Snecific Remedy Seen

Wall Street cntertains little hope
that tho national agricultural confer
cncc at Washington viii be able to
provide the relief sought by tho faruacr,
as it is held that no specific remedy
for his problems exists. The farmer
during the last year has passed through
an experience similar to that which
other businesses have gone through. i
has been harder for him, for MS re-
sources, individually, arc not compare
bic TO those possessed By large indus
trial units Liquidation in other lines
also has been less abrupt and far
rcaching, the attitude OF uniorizcd
labor particularly imposing an obstacl c
to dehation. "Thc farmer needs edu-
cation" said a banker yesterday. "He
should be brought to understand that
it s union labor, the proftecrirg re-
taller and the like, and not Wall Street,
that axe TO blame for his condition. He
should direct his efforts toward effect
ing termination of their resistance to
def1ation, rather than continue to CO.
operate With them" The current cor
ference, il is believed, may help in 90
far Is sound measures, such as al cx-
tension OF co-operati~c buying, are
adopted but will be harmful to the
extent that "artifcial rcspirants' are
indorsed.
