A large number of automobiles
carrying Iron county farmers were
seen along the roads early Wednes-
day morning, headed for the state
experiment farm at Ashland June

50 and IS persons attended from
this county.
During the forenoon the crowd
gathered in the grove and listened
to very interesting addresses by
Prof. R. A Moore, head of the
Agronimy Department, aud one Of
the foremost plant breeders in the
United States. The professor told
of some of the problems of the plant
breeder in his work, and explained
how new varieties Of seed were pro
duced and distributed to the farm
ers Of the world. Wisconsin grown
pedigree seeds are now distributed
to all parts Of the world The de-
mand for Wisconsin grown seeds al
ways exceeds the supply, he stated
but warned the farmers not to for
get quality when sending out seeds.
Following Prof Moore, Prof. +.
B. Morrison, assistant director Of
the Experiment Station, and also
professor of animal husbandry,
gave us some very interesting facts
concerning animal feeding and an
imal nutrition, He showed very
plainly the need Of feeding balanced
rations to dairy cattle, at this and

ere.
The accident happened about 2
o clock on a curve near Montreal
A local" pulling several cars of
ore was going west and an engine
with Caboose attached was coming
east. On account of the curve the
engineers were unable to see each
other in time to prevent collision.
The trains came together with ter
rife force aud jacknifed, leaving a
mass of tangled ruins.
The cause of the accident is at
tributed to the failure of an opera
tor at Ironwood to deliver a mes
sage to the conductor of the ore
train.
While the impact of the trains
was terrific it is believed that they
were not travelling at a very high
rate of speed, otherwise more of the
crews would have been killed
Persons who viewed the wreck de
clared it was a miracle that any got
out alive.
A relief train with several doctors
was sent from Ironwood to the
scene of the wreck shortly after it
happened and the injured were re-
moved TO an Ironwood hospital.
The news of the wreck spread
quickly over the entire range and
hundreds of automobiles drove to
the scene of the wreck Thursday
evening.
The 500 Line wrecking outfit
from Stevens Point was summoned
and work of clearing away the
wreckage started.

ORE SHIPPING
GOING GOOD
Despite the Strikes of Coal Miners and
Railway ShOpmen Ore Shipping
Holding Its Own.

In spite of strikes of coal N .ners
and railway shopmen, which cut the
shipping Of ore TO almost one third
on some of the roads, both the
Northwestern and 500 ore docks at
Ashland have shipped out more
than three times as much ore in Ju-
ly, 1922, as in July, 1921
The total tonnage for July at the
Northwestern is 1908 ,oo2, which
is about three times greater than
that of the same month last year
At the 500 dock the July shipments
amount TO $50 GOO tons, bringing
the total for the season lip to Aug
ust to sol, 587 tons for that dock.
Records from July, 1927, for the
500 show 40, COS tons for July. and
1851 tons for the season to Aug
ust
An average of six or seven ore
carriers clear from the Ashland
docks every day. The end of the
week usally sees 2 slump in the
number Of steamers docking here,
but the rush at the beginning Of
the week makes up for it.
Shipments from the Head Of the
Lakes for July doubled those for
the same period in 1921 The total
tonnage for last month was : SIS.
$50, bringing the season total up
to ID $40 6r8 tons. These figures

Christmas Stamps
To Go on Sale Under
Direction Health Assn

The Maine Public Health AsSocia-
ton wishes to announce and inform
the people of Waterville that the
annual sale of stamps. which is car
ried on just before Christmas will
start soon. The delay was caused
by the reorganization of the society,"
but now that everything is settled it
is expected that the seals will be
placed ON sale sometime this week
or the first of next.
A meeting concerning the above
was held yesterday forenoon, under
the direction of Walter S. Austin.
general director of the campaign
and at that meeting Mrs. Lima Bart
lette and Cyril NJ. Jolly were elected
to assist him.
large percentage of the public
do not understand that real idea or
purpose of these seals and have the
idea that because they have or used
to have a red cross on them that
they are sold for the benefit of the
Red Cross Society, but this is not SO.
The seals were originally sold under
the auspices Of the Anti Tubercul-
losis Association and the proceeds
derived from the sales were used for
the benefit of the individual who had
contracted the above disease, which
for number of years ragged through
out Maine and lew England. The
money spent by the Anti Tubercu-
losis Society did lot toward the
checking of what is known as the
great white plague and by working
in cooperation with other medical
and charitable organizations the
death rate was greatly reduced.
About two or three years ago the
medical men and other citizens of
the State who were interested in the
helping Of humanity decided that the
time to act on this devastating dis
ease was before it got a start. If
this was done it could be more cas-
lily checked and the deaths resulting
from it would be far smaller than
in the past. With this end in view,
it was thought by many of the prom
inent people in Maine a wise idea to
promote and start such an organiza-
ton, which was done. and it was
called the Maine Public Health AS
ISOLATION. which is now familiar
name in all of our public schools and
in the most remote parts of our
State. The seals which will soon be
sold from house to house and which
bears the Representative of a Madon-
ma and has the red upright with two
red cross bars is not a Red Cross
seal but to the Maine Public Health.
In purchasing them you are not only
