LIME STONE
FOR MORE ALFALFA
1000 TONS GROUND
IN IOWA COUNTY. A FEATURE IN COUNTY
AGENT WORK.


AGENT WORK.

Lime grinding for more alfalfa is
going along full blast in Iowa County
according to reports received from
County Agent H. R. Noble. To date
over 1000 tons have been ground at
local quarries in the vicinity of Hol-
landale, Barneveld, Ridgeway, Dodge
vile and Wyoming Valley. Two
lime grinders are now in operation.
Conrad Holt has ground at Hollan-
dale 100 tons of lime rock for soil
purposes since last April and also
several hundred tons of advance or
ders to fill. A few years ago Mr..
Holt, Blaine Steensland and Jacob
Paulson of Hollandale, shipped in a
carload of lime which cost them
$500 a ton. The haul from the
station averaged between four and
five miles over rather rough roads
and hills, which in reality constitut-
ed a heavy additional cost in getting
the lime laid down at the farm.
Under the arrangements which
County Agent Noble has provided for
the farmers of Iowa County, the lime
is ground at local Quarries at about
$500 a ton, resulting in a saving of
from $500 to $500 per ton to the
farmers. This, of course, is of minor
Importance compared to the good
which the application of lime will do
for the soils and crops of Iowa
County. 1t takes lime to make al
falfa grow on many soils, and with
this wonder crop at least an addition

Sensational Fight in Dodgeyille

George A. Sellers of Denver, Colo,
is visiting with some relatives in
Dodgeyille. Mr.. Sellers is somewhat
of strong prohibitionist. He OBJ
served how freely the Eighteenth
Amendment was being disregarded in
DodgeVille. When he spoke to the
city officials about the matter they
told him if he wished, they would
give him warrants for the arrest of
any such lawbreakers providing he
could catch them. Mr. Sellers in
some way or other managed to buy
some of the Illicit liquor himself and
thereby succeeded in obtaining the
names of the men in the liquor ring.
There were four young men of
Dodgeville in the affair. He arrested
the ring-leader on Thursday. The
remainder of the gang became so
angry that Thursday night, about
midnight they came to his home to
take their revenge. When they came
into his bedroom to beat him up,
they soon discovered that the .big
western gentleman was no easy
proposition to handle Sellers
whipped the three men in a regular
fist fight and then drew a revolver
and took them into custody at the
county Jail. Although such fights
are seldom seen outside of the movies
this one actually occurred and the
people of Dodgeville were quite ex-
cited on Friday morning when news
of the fight spread.

al ton of valuable hay an acre can be
secured as compared with timothy
and clover. Mr.. Noble reports some
fields which are acid to such degree
that they even fail to grow good
clover. 1t is under these conditions
where applications of lime will pro-
duce wonderful results in the way OF
producing rich homegrown feed.
Mr.. Conrad Holt has splendid lime
grinding outfit and under favorable
conditions can produce from 20 to
80 tons per day of lime, ground up
finely and made ready to be applied
to the soil. Iowa County grows
about 1000 acres of alfalfa-the
acreage being practically doubled in
the last two years. Green County,
which is not very far distant, has
$4,000 acres of alfalfa. The far
mers there find it an almost indis-
pensable crop on their farms. With
the lime grinding program progress
ing so splendidly, Mr.. Noble feels
that Iowa County's acreage will more
than double itself in 1929.
Those who happen to travel the
Hollandale roads will find it of inter-
est to call and see Mr. Conrad Holt,
who has been pronounced one of
Wisconsin's most enthusiastic lime
grinders. Immense piles of lime
containing from 200 to 800 tons are
plainly evident along the roadsides,
one of which Mr.. Noble has labeled
with an attractive looking sign
which calls attention to the progress
Of his work in Iowa County.

MOOnshine?

Friday morning quantity of
Whlskey mash was discovered in a
little clump of bushes on an alley
two blocks north of High Street.
The mash was dead" having al
ready served it's purpose in the MAX
ing of home-brew, and was heaped
on the ground behind the bushes.
1t was discovered by passer-by
who detected the peculiar odor and
proceeded to locate the source. The
mash was evidently made from
various kinds of fruits, raisins being
the most prominent in the compo-
sltlon OF the stuff Who it was that
left the mash there is a mystery, but
queer things have been happening in
the very near vicinity of the bushes.
Not long ago three men smelling
strongly of whiskey and in rather a
loaded condition were seen going up
this same alley. On one other night
a man staggered up to a window and
and bothered one of the neighbors
who was home alone. He disappear
ed before it was possible to find out
who he was. On several occasions
people in this neighborhood have
noticed the odor of liquor about the
alley. The still from which the mash
was dumped must be somewhere
near. The matter has been taken
up with city officials and the case is
being thoroughly investigated.

he has gone to nobody knows where,
and it is believed that Alice Red
Bird helped him escape. Falcon cut

ture.

Auto Accidents on
Fourth Mostly Bunk

Rumors of automobile accidents all
over this part of the county were rife
the Fourth, some "eye witnesses
reporting accidents that officers failed
to locate. One rumor had it that two
cars had collided on the Lick creek
road and that eight persons were kill
ed; another that two cars had gone
over the embankment on the Riceville
road, and a couple more on the Peck
and Lacey hill and several more on
the Highwood hill. Still another was
of a car that had broken through the
fence and gone over the west Belt
grade. This was "seen" by the driver
Of a car Immediately behind, but an
investigation Immediately afterwards
failed to locate it and it is believed it
must have been the same a that a
few minutes later went off the rail-
road embankment near the Rocky
Mountain elevator" So far as could
be learned there was no foundation to
of these rumors, but another that
a couple of cars had turned over on
the Great Falls road with nc serious
injury to the occupants, is said to be
authentic, though whom they were is
known.

Gus Seigar, commonly known as

threat Of shooting his former wife.

Jail.
"The Bull Finn" of Neihart has had
a turbulent career in the mining camp
at the foot of Old Badly during the
past 20 years, and has been in Jail too
