In 1905 Anna Robinson was q

LA FARCE High IS VICTOR

Last Friday, Viroqua High School
played its first base ball game of the
season against LaFarge High. Our
team received severe beating, the
score being to / in favor of LaFarge
Nothing else could be expected how
ever, for this was their first game
whIie the opposing team had the adj
vantage of much previous work to-
gether. The absence of team work on
the part of the home team was very
noticeable except in one instance when
a double play was made Viroqua
having had but weeks practice fail

LaFarge's speedy battery. Our team
IS promising and before the end of
the season we will be able to cope
with any team around here. Yeo-
mans pitching and batting was about
all that won the game for LaFarge
He never failed to connect and one
time he got 3 bags. Our players got
more stolen bases than LaFarge
Fauske stole three bases and brought
IN our only score. At the next game
we will have had more practice and

WISCONSIN A LAND
OF IDEAL SILAGE
r. l.. Luther, Superintendent Wiscon-
sin Farmers Institutes

oAH 1t
All the requirements for the pro
ductlon of an ideal quality of silage
are fulfilled in practically the entire
area of Wisconsin. The growing sea-
son has been found pretty short to
enable farmers to county upon the ma
turing of corn crop with any de-
gree assurance, in some parts of the
state, as many fthem have learned
through costly experience, but in any
year crop of excellent silage is al
most certain. The best corn for sill
age in the world is grown in Upper
Wisconsin.
The climate of Wisconsin is in a
large degree responsible for its SUI
premacy in silage production. The
spring comes early enough to get the
ground in good condition for corn, and
by the time the plants are up and
growing a fairly warm summer has
arrived The days are long during
Wisconsin summers and the corn plant
takes advantage of them by making
unusual gains in height and in the ac-
cumulation of all those valuable food
elements that abundant sunshine and
moisture and good rich soil supply
But the harvestl Frost IS quite
and everyone knows what frost does
to green corn. What is the answer
A silo, of course, for when corn is to
be converted into silage, it is harvested
before it is ripe, and in Wisconsin the
time when corn is in prime condition
for silage making, is in the period just
before frost comes dangerously close.
Evidently, Wisconsin is favored with
special sllage-production equipment in
climate and SOIL
The high position which the state
occupies in all branches of the dairy
industry is direct cons sequence of the
peculiar combination of factors just
mentioned; of course other things en-
ter into consideration also, but eli
mate and soil are undeniably of prime
Importance.
The question is will Wisconsin main
tain the lead she has gainedG There
are at least 10000 dairy farms in
the state and about 10000 silos; allow
ing for more than one silo on many
farms, and for the silos on central
farms, it appears that onyl about half
of our dairy farms have silos. Why is
there not silo on every dairy farm
1t is only through the use of a silo
that the succulent feed so necessary
for the maintenance of heavy milk pro-
duction can be supplied throughout
the year-a silo really the equivalent
of twelve months of green pasture.
One more point too, our professors
here at the College of Agriculture are
finding that the very best and practi-
cally the main food element for grow
ing cattle and producing milk is found
in the green leaves of plants When
leaves become brown they lose this
element. Wisconsin's corn in its best
silage state contains this element call
ed Fat Soluable Vitamine A, save this
element by ensiling the corn rather
than lose it by feeding brown leaves
in some slower.

PLAN GIGANTIC

Wisconsin, the producer OF $30O,-
100000 worth of milk and cheese an
nually, is to be put on the map as
the greatest dairy state in the Union
First steps to form an organization

luncheon arranged by the Milwaukee

financial and commercial leaders at

ask 1000 banks of the state to loan
the council one-half of / per cent of
their capital stock, which will net
more than $4,000 to be used as a
working fund until an organization
can be completed at Madison in No
vember.
As dairymen throughout the state
are organized under the council, the
money is to be returned TO the banks.
Each member viii be asked to pledge
the worth of one or two DAYS supply
of milk in the form of dues. Ali in
come of the council is to be used in a
national advertising campaign of the
states dairy products.

WIS. CHEST CLINIC COMING
PRIZE CLINIC COMING TO
WESLEY IN OCTOBER
Free Chest Examinations Will Be Held
By State Association at City Hall

People in the vicinity of Westby who
nave any reason to suspect that there
IS anything wrong with their lungs
VIII welcome the announcement that
they will soon have a chance to have
free chest examination. Last win
ter by its large sale of penny Christ
man seals, with which local. state. and
national campaigns against tubercu-
losis are financed, Westby won one of
the clinics offered as prizes by the
Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis Associa-
ton. By its sale it led the group of
Wisconsin cities between 1000 and
800 population, the other prize win
ner IN the group being Mosinee, Mar
athon county.
This prize clinic is coming to West
by in Friday, October 6. 1t will be
held in the city hall and local arrange
ments are being made under the d.
rection of L. E. Wiland, the manager
of last years seal sale under whose
able leadership the prize clinic was
won. Free chest examinations win be
made by one of the physicians from
the medical department of the Wiseon-
sin Tuberculosis Association, a
man who has made special study of
tuberculosis and ohter diseases of the
lungs. The travelling clinic organiza-
ton also includes social service york
er who will look after details of or
ganization for the examining physi-
clan and be in charge of the corps of
helpers.
This will be the second time that the
Travelling Free Chest Clinic of the
state association has visited Vernon
county. Last year a two-day clinic
was held in Viroqua and nine cases of
tuberculosis were found among the
101 persons examined. This was an
unusually low percentage of tubercu-
losis, the average throughout the state
being 1870 of those examined. Be-
cause of the low findings, it is felt that
perhaps the people who needed it most
did not attend the Viroqua clinic and
for this reason persons who have been
IN close contact with case of tuber-
culosis for any length of time are be-
ing especially urged to attend the
Westby clinic. Many persons who
have been exposed to tuberculosis con-
tract the disease without knowing it.
Sometimes the germs lie inactive in
the lungs for many years before there
is any sign of trouble. If these cases
can be discovered early and treated
properly, their cure is almost certain
and the time required for treatment is
much shorter than if the disease is
well advanced before it is discovered.
The primary purpose of the clinic
is to hunt out these unknown cases of
tuberculosis and to give advice to all
persons suffering with the disease and
help them to secure proper care.
Anyone who has been losing weight.
who has persistent cough or rising
temperature in hte afternoon, who is
tired and pepless, who has not recov-
cred strength after an attack of flu,
is especially urged to take this advan-
tage fthe opportunity for an exam
ination. Children must be accompan-
led by an adult.
