DISTRIBUTION OF WAR EXPLO-
SIVES HAS SAVED MONEY
FOR FARMERS

Last fall the UUnited States De-
partment of Agriculture, in co-opera-
ton with the various state agricultur-
al colleges, distributed 5000 .0OG
pounds of picric acid, surplus war
explosive, to farmers at saving to
them of about 100000 over the cost
of other explosives.
In Minnesota, the State Agrieultur-
al College reports: eve feel that pic
rlc acid has been great benefit to the
state and has done a great deal tostim-
ulate land clearing. All reports are
to the effect that its use has been high
ly satisfactory The 744.O0O pounds
allotted to Minnesota was distributed
to 1911 farmers, averaging 222
pounds per farmer. We estimate this
will clear $4,000 acres of land, and has
made saving Of over $4,000 for the
farmers of the state"
There is now available some 6.OOO:.
600 pounds of picric acid, and of this
amount about 100000 pounds is a.
valuable for each of the Lake States.
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Pieric acid is high explosive which
was used in large quantities during the
war, and is now being distributed to
farmers for agricultural uses. No
charge is made by the government for
the explosive itself, but as it has to be
dried out and cartridged before it can
be used for peaceful purposes the cost
OF this work must be paid by the farm
err
Plcrlc acid is a comparatively safe
explosive and is used in the same way
that other agricultural explosives are
used. 1t has several advantages over
commercial explosives in that it keeps
indefinitely without deteriorating. it l.
not affected by heat or cold. and It does
not cause headaches or other i'll effects
when used in the open air. Because
OF its greater cost of manufacture. il
viii never be a competitor of CONNER
elal dynamites. 1t is being distributed
Tor the purpose of increasing interest
and activity in land clearing. The de-
tails fthe method of distribution can
be secured from the various State Az
ricultural Colleges.

LOCAL SAVING FOR
FARM BUILDINGS
Settlers Near Maple Center Had
Lumber Sawed at the Win
Davis Farm

Marley Pendleton had his big port
able saving outfit at the Win Davis
farm, Az miles southeast of Lady
smith, during the past week, saving
about $4,000 feet of lumber for the
nearby farmers The power used to
run this saw rig is a big steam engine
which uses slabs for fuel. Ben Min
dykows1i is the man at the throttle.
Among the farmers who are having
lumber sawed is Ell. j. Gavin, who has
about $4,000 feet. He also has 2O,0O0
feet q t home AS the buildings on his
farm, which is 315 miles southeast OF
Ladysmith, are DID, he is laying plans
for a new set which will include a
house and a barn, 36xSO feet. The
Gavin farm consists of 100 acres, of
which nearly half is under the pillow
and 20 acres more are brushed and
seeded, with the balance in pasture.
He has a team and % head of cattle.
Tractor VS.. Horses
Mr.. Gavin has a tractor outfit and
said that he kept it busy every day
the weather permitted him to work.
He considers it much superior to
horses and told Of breaking new land
where he turned sod that had grubs
and roots as big as his arm, going
right through with no trouble. This
spring he had three horses and would
have had to buy at least one more
horse, and a harness. Instead, he
sold one horse and some horse-draWn
machinery and purchased the tractor
outfit. He claims that he can run
the tractor cheaper than he can keep
and feed a four-horse outfit and when
it don't work it don't eat.
This information comedies with our
article on tractors of a few weeks ago
and shows that there is a place for
tractors on the farms that are devel-
oped enough to make tractors work
enough to pay out. Until that time
settlers are much better off with
horses and horse-drawn machinery,
as one good team is an absolute neces-
sity on any farm after it has had a
year or two OF. brushing and seeding.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We have before us letter from an
old banker friend in Northern Iowa
and as it gives much light on the finan7
cial situation there, we will use part
of it in the following item. His bank
has borrowed $4,000 more than
their deposits in an effort to take care
of their customers who are dependent
on them. They have $41 900 cash and
cash items on hand which is 6.8 per
cent of their deposits. The loan is al
must double the amount of their capt.
tai and surplus. He states that he is
forced to turn down customers daily
who need loans to carry on their farm
ing or business.
At tax-paying time they are forced
to pay taxes on considerable land and
property they have mortgages on in
order to protect their interests.
Dairying Wins
"Our crop prospects are at present
fine and if the fellows can harvest
even a normal crop and find sale for
it at living prices then we hope to see
conditions better, but for the present,
except for the few fellows who are
dairying or have a crop of hogs to
market, no one is getting any new
money into this neighborhood. Real
estate loans are gradually getting
back to where they should he, but
most of the fellows who need money
have already got all they can borrow
on their land, so that the rates don't
help a great deal"
| Farm Money Easier
| Further indications Of easier money
! is shown in the announcement from
Omaha that the Federal Land Bank
/ of that district has reduced it's inter
est rate from to so per cent, effect
i i've June l. This shows clearly tina
i there is plenty of money for farm
loans in that section for those able tt
qualify for it.

Jersey cows and a bull 7-months-old
and 3 high grade cows last week to
Stamper Bros, who live on their 100
acre farm north of the brick school
house down on the Flambeau river.
The boys sold all of their grade cows
last. spring and these cattle will re-
place them.
Boyer & Davis also sold a pure-bred
cow with a heifer calf to G. f. New
house, who lives near the VIM. Kutt
farm, south of Ingram.
There is still a good-sized herd of
Jerseys ON the Boyer & Davis farm.
They have 80 head with % of them
pure bred. The two-year- old bull at
the head of the herd is big, rangy
fellow and came from McGregor, Ia.
He is a great-grandson of Sophie 10
Of Hoods farm on one side and traces
back to that wonderful COW on the
other side.
One of the cows in this herd is pro-
ducing as high as 49, pounds of but
terfat per month with 1888 pounds of
milk. Their tests have run as high
as rs and their average test is above

despite the numerous sales that these
men make, their herd is increasing

to work one team rather than to both
