High School, Judging Teams

Both Judging teams that are to re-
present Viroqua High school this wear
have been selected. The stock judg-
ing team was selected two weeks ago
when all-day contest was held among
neighboring farmers livestock. Only
the members of the junior class taking
agriculture were eligible to compete.
As result of this contest, Sherman
Sherry won first place, Edward Wro-
bel second, and Chris Hanson, third.
This gives Viroqua another green
team which has had no previous ex-
perlence in stock-judging. These boys
viii compete against LaFarge and
Seneca high schools next month in the
district trials. The team winning in
this contest will be sent to the state
sehool-boy roundup" March 10, at
Madison, to compete against the win
ners of 20 other district contests.
The corn-Judging team was picked
the day before school closed. by con-
test between the members of the soph-
omore class enrolled in agriculture.
They are as follows: Left Rusdal,
captain; Torger johnson, and Law
renee Jacobs. This is another green
team, as these boys are all new in
judging corn. This team completes
against the other high school teams in
the state in corn judging at the state
corn and grain show, held at Green
Bay January 2Sth.
BY following this system of differ
ent boys on the teams every year, il
is hoped that greater number of boys
will get the benefit of the work, rather
than using few boys already devel-
oped, even at the cost of winning a
championship.

WITT AND THE COPENHAVER
ROAD.

Mr.. u. S. Witt, Paint Lick, wal
here on Tuesday. and settled his tut.
ton dues. Witt owns more than a
thousand acres of bluegrass IanL III
the neighborhood of Paint Lick. His
wife is daughter of the late D..
Green. who represented the county In
the Virginia Legislature some years
ago. Witt has two daughters aid d
grandson who stays with him most
of the time. Mr.. Witt is n success
full farmer and stockman, and a
worthy, respected citizen of his coun
ty.
1t will be recalled that Witt was
the "storm center" in the road bullu-
ing proposition in the west end Of
the county, and was held up and de
layed OH account of right of way
through his land Witt was asked
about this, and he said he wanted
damages if the new rond was built
through his land, but there was no
available funds for the purpose, ana
so the work was held up. The build
ing of the new road, switching on
west Of Copenhaver's, Witt said,
left him away off, as his house, and
number of others is located on the
old Fincastle pike, east of Pain.
Lick, between two hills. and very
rough road. Witt said he offered to
give 100000 to the road fund if
built on the old grade, but owing to
the grade the building of the new
road on the old site, was impossible,
and so, the road will be built on Tie
new survey around the mountain,
running thru Wits land about a mile
and half. and he will be paid dam
ages. Witt and his neighbors will
now "labor with" the Board of Sup
ervisors, and try to have the old
road repaired. And so the matter
rests Witt hade it clear that he was
not blocking the game" as some
folks charged, only naturally doing
what he could to have the new road
built on the site of the old pike
