lure who made survey of Wasboe

s a. mat no weevil has yet made
10 appearance in Churchill and
Lyon counties. ~
All three counties are mainta

TENTS Bedding is said to be one of
the main carriers.
According to government bac.
teriologists stationed in Colorado.
Idaho and Utah, where alfalfa wee
VII is most destructive, the principal
carrier is irrigatng water. The
worm will thrive in water for ten
Gays. The pest spreads at the rate
OF from one to twenty-five miles
each season.
The weevil is known to have
caused fifty per cent reduction in
alfalfa crops. In Colorado, it is
said, that destruction in infested
flelds is fifteen to twenty-five per
cent. Spraying with an arsenic
solution will keep the disease down,
but this will be at cost of around
$z.o0 an acre season, and when
section has become thoroughly
infested this treatment must be con-
tinued, indefinitely, agriculturists
declare.
1t is acknowledged that the weevil
Is likely to spred to all alfalfa
growing sections of western Nevada
unless is should be stamped out
Immediately through the spraying
methods. according to opinions Of
the county and federal agents.
The weevil is not destructive to
the alfalfa industry as a whole, il
is said. The spraying method has
been found effective, and in some
sections the damage to crops is SO
slight as not to justify this expense.

BEAUTIFUL LAND
MARK DESTROYED
Ruthlessly Sacrificed In Order
To Make Room for a Wider
Highway.-Had Been Fami-
liar Landmark.

: Gable, Wis.,, Dec Goth, 1922
Editor Washburn Times:
There was near the road about
four miles from Cable, towards Lake
Namakagon,. an object off interest
and. beauty. It was a birch tree
growing from a large pine stump
For fifteen years or more this was
a landmark and curiosity which de-
lighted tourists and wayfarers. 1t
had grown from tiny sapling to
graceful tree Of fair proportions
and travellers often paused to take
snap shots with camera, and thus its
fame was sent by postal card pic
lures to many parts of the country
One day about d month ago we
looked in vain, while passing, fol
our favorite landmark. In order to
make the highway wider it had been
ruthlessly sacrificed and consigned
to the brush heap.
: So we make this plea to all inter
ested in our highways that objects
of beauty and interest be conserved
as far as possible in order that our
beloved Wisconsin may not lose any
of it's prestige as state, OF high
ideals in practice and sentiment. .

LET'S co

Northern Wisconsin will be just
what we make it. By 1--WE" is
meant the half million or more peo-
pie who live in the upper half of the
state. The greatest resource in
Northern Wisconsin is not our won
derful lakes, great forests, and fine
lands for farming, stock raising and
dairying, but our men and wien.
II the citizensRip of this 5sectior
would just reasize the power Of co
operative effort, Northern Wisconsin
could soon be made land of milk
and honey. Effective organization
would mean sufficient money to, pro-
perly advertise this section to 40,-
100000 people between the Alleghan-
les and the Rockies. 1t would en-
able this section to anticipate months
in advance the number Of tourists
that will come to this section, so
that they could be properly cared
for. 1T would enable Us to tell the
world Of the agricultural possibili-
ties of this section, of its fine cities,
towns and villages, every one of
which have future if the tide of
settlement ever sets in in earnest in
this section.
Every day some amazing achieve
ment due to advertising makes us
realize its tremendous influence, and
yet Northern Wisconsin has never
been properly advertised. An ad-
vertising fund of $4,000 is the goal
Of the campaign that will be con-
Quoted by the Northern Wisconsin
Resort Association. It is lot of
money. Yes, but no more than one
days cigar sales in this section. Not
more than the receipts of moving
picture houses in this section in one
night. 1t is far less than the stamp
sales in one day. These compari-
sons are given to show that the $780,
900 would be only drop in the buc-
ket as compared with the ability of
this section to pay.
Much money that is spent leaves
this section for good but it is es-
timated that for every dollar spent
in wider advertising campaign will
bring back $1,000. This estimate is
conservative, if the records of the
big tourists associations are cor
rect.
We in Northern Wisconsin are
wasters of our own fate. We can
make of our country just what we
will. With fundamental truth in
mind, let us resolve individually and
as community that we will CO.
operate according to our ability in
this widespread and far-reaching
movement for the upbuilding and
prosperity of Northern Wisconsin.

CLUB PARTY
BIC SUCCESS
LARGE NUMBER PARTICI-
PATE IN FESTIVITIES
Five Hunderd and Egihty-twO
People Attend Christmas
Celebration Held at the Du
POnt Club.

Monday evening of this week was
big time for the members of the
Du Pont Club and their wives and
children when Christmas party
was staged and it proved to be the
biggest affair of the kind ever held
in the city. A count was kept Of
those passing through the doors and
this registered five hundred and
eighty-two.
The program started promptly at
seven-thirty and consisted of songs
by the High School Glee Club, recita-
tion by Miss Catherine Beers, selec-
tions by the "Uke" club of the High
school, recitation by John Howell,
reading by Miss Catherine Beers and
solo by Mrs. E. R. Wright.
The program being thus ended a
commotion was heard overhead and
the eyes of everyone were attracted
to the opening in the attic through
which Mr.. and Mrs. Santa Claus
were seen decending with the aid of
a rope and upon their arrival they
Immediately proceeded to the front of
the spacious room where stacks Of
sacks were assembled and these were
distributed among the children pre-
sent. The sacks contained candy,
nuts, apples, and bag of popcorn,
an dthe children were also adorned
with paper hats made up in Christ
mas colors.
The chairs were then cleared away
and the entire building was thrown
open. Some engaged in dancing,
others played games, use was made
of the bowling alleys, and general
good time was had by everyone.
It was a rare treat to see the old
er persons mingling with the chill
dren and enjoying the sports to-
gether.
Those who attended the party say
it was crowning climax to the big
events already staged by this club
and one that will not soon be forgot
ten.

County Exhibit Scores
Hit at Milwaukee
FINE LETTER RECEIVED
FROM DIRECTOR
Bayfield, County Well Advertis-
ed at Products Exposition
Held at Milwaukee During
Past Month.

That the effort put forth by Coun-
ty Agent V. E. Brubaker in cooper
alton with the Agricultural Commit
tee Of the Bayfield, County Board, to
present an attractive exhibit of Bay
field county produce at the Wiscon-
sin Products Exhibition in Milwau-
kee, were worth the labor and other
work necessary, is evidenced by the
following letter received this week
by Chairman D. C. Bell, of the coun-
by board organization, from MY
Spearman Lewis, the managing
director of the big exhibition, which
comprised a showing of all manner
of manufactured goods produced in
the state, every variety of agricul-
tural production, and long lists of
horticultural and dairying output.
The letter from Mr.. Spearman reads
81 wish to congratulate Bayfield,
County on it's splendid booth at the
Wisconsin Products Exposition and
on favorable attention it attracted
among the thousands of visitors.
"Those in charge of the booth will
tell you that many inquiries were re-
ceived as to the available land in your
locality and the opportunity for set
ters. / am certain that the fame of
your products and of your coanty
has been enhanced.
'"The exposition has been splen-
did success from every standpoint
and the movement to place the quail
ity products Of Wisconsin before the
world has been launched.
"We look for a still greater and
more successful exposition in 1928
and we surely expect to find Bayfield,
county with US again"
Distributed Advertising.
The bayfield, County Booth at the
exposition was under personal charge
of County Agent Brubaker, who took
to the Cream City auditorium large
quantities of bayfield, county pr0duc-
ton, including grains and grasses,
honey, fruit, flowers, vegetables, etc.
Besides carrying on active work in
displaying this produce, Mr.. Bruba-
ker was kept busily engaged in an
swering the interested questions put
by sightseers at the exposition, thou
sands of whom seemed to be particu-
larly attracted by this county's dis
play. During the exposition, which
ran from Dec. 14th to Dec. goth, in
elusive, hundreds Of small pamphlet
were distributed setting forth the
advantages of the county in every
way. The bayfield, Peninsula fruit
industry with special mention OF the
strawberry production, was given
prominence in the pamphlets, and
it is believed the advertising to this
region, through the medium of the
display and the pamphlets, is worth
several thousands of dollars.
