RECLAMATION LIEN
NO BAR TO THIS Man
DANISH FARMERS SHOULD
COME TO RUSK COUNTY

The Danes are wonderful dairymen
but some of them should come TO Rusk
county where there is plenty of land
TO turn their cows out on.
Denmark is a great dairy center.
Good cows sell for S1GO, and good
horses bring twice as much. Pigs u
month old bring $40, and at six weeks
are worth So; this is in accordance
with a fixed custom of long standing.
Eat cattle bring eight cents; butter,
:,S to 40 cents; eggs 10 cents each. A
working man gets only Si.3G per day.
When there is no work to be had a
man can get an allowance from the
government. but only just enough to
live on 81 per month. as q rule.
Clothes cost about the same as here.
The tax ON 40-acre farm, including
the stock. amounts to about 5000. An
acre Of good land sells for 5000. Den
mark is a land of small farmers. most
Of whom own their lands.
In the winter-time cattle and other
stock never get out of the barns.
There is not room for pasturage on
Danish farms.
Danish roads are built of gravel and
crushed rock, and are good every
where Old and young alike ride BIZ
cycles.
The Danish farmers do not use sep.
arators, and deliver the whole milk
to their creameries.. There are only q
few milking machines in the whole
country.

c. q. Wig, cashier Of the Hawkins
State Bank was in Ladysmith Mon

Wanted in Lawrence
John Bordner is working on the
project and will try and line his com
pany up to sign with about fifty of his
settlers in the town Of Lawrence. He
says all the settlers he has talked to
want the loan Most of these men are
good workers and will fill their obliga-
tons in conformation with the law.
Big Falls Is For 1t
The farmers Of Dairy Center neigh
borhood are solidly behind the deal,
and declare that they must have mon
ey or this basis, and have it quick il
they are going to be able to live and
clear their land.
One settler said that all the farm
ers i'm the town were watching the
News-B Budget for developments and
would sign applications for loan on
their land
1t will take the united effort of all
Of us TO put this proposition across,
but it's worth it as it will put our
county on its feet.

Cornell Elkow. the sage of West
Marshall. was in Ladysmith Saturday,
and called at the News Budget Office
to get half dozen copies Of the Coun-
ty Reclamation Act which he will pass
around in his nieghbOrhOOd.
Mr. Elkow is enthusiastic about this
law. and said that it was just what
the settlers needed, and need now.
If the money can be secured through
this law to give the settler money to
live on while clearing his land it will
surely speed up the land clearing prop

TAYLOR COUNTY FARMER
CLAIMS HE GOT RAW DEAL

Ii. +. Sutton, who lives in the north
west corner of Taylor county was in
i.adySmith last week to renew his sub
Scription, to the NewS-Budget.
Mr.. Sutton has lived on his eighty
for the past three years, and has one
acre cleared. stumped, and plowed, for
garden and potatoes. He has several
more acres brushed. logged, and seed
ed down. He said he could not afford
10 stump and plow his land until the
Stumps had time to rot. as his land
was all green timber when he started
in.
He cut 100 cords of Eastwood bolts
and 10000 feet of lumber from his
south forty. His farm is getting more
open all the time, and now he can see
from the back end of his farm to the
buildings, and when he came there he
could see but Il few rods from the
hOuSc
lie has Il small set OF buildings.
4 flock of fifty hens do much toward
making his living and he thinks they
are about the host thing farmer can
have He says he has had no loss
from wild animals as he keeps a good
dog.
The Clearing Contest
Mr.. Sutton tells of the clearing con
Test carried on in Taylor county dur
ing 1920. Each farmer who brushed
three acres or more and got it ready
for seed was to be furnished with grass
seed hy the county 10 SOW it with.
The county agent conducted the con-
test and while Mr.. Sutton cleared six
acres of land that year he was not
checked up. Six of his neghbors
looked his clearing over and stepped
it Off and signed statement TO the
effect that over three acres had been
brushed. and that he was entitled roI
he seed offered. The 0verscer for the
district also put his q. X. on the job.
The claim was ignored and To this date
Mr. Sutton has not received any seed
while ncighbors on each side Of him
got theirs and one man who claims he
only cleared an acre got "a pounds OF
ginOthy and l. pounds of clover.
Promises made in land clearing con
tests should be carried ont TO the let.
