FARMERS ADVISED TO PLAN
NOW FOR 1924 HARVEST

Badger growers are faced with the
necessity of harvesting at least a
normal supply of seed corn. The
carryover of 1923 seed stock is not
large, requiring generous rcplenish-
ment to meet the needs of next year.
"a good yield of corn in 1924 will
depend in large measure upon the Sc
lection and curing Of the seed this
fall" declared R. A. Moore of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture, in
a recent interview. After tour
of inspection he predicted that
growers who exercised special care
in securing the best seed this Sep
TENDER would be more than repaid
for the effort.
Seed growers throughout the state
are meeting a steadily increasing de-
mand for Cardinal King, the new
frost resistant corn developed at the
Wisconsin Experiment station.
"Now is the time to plan for the
1924 harvest" advises Moore. "Af-
ter the husks have turned yellow get
out into the field and select the well
formed ears for seed. The ears
selected should be We.l matured."
He is urging growers to select their
seed stock before the severe frosts
set in.
The state agronomist recommended
the gathering Of about twice as
many seed ears as are needed for
planting. Growers are urged to
put their seed corn in the proper
place for curing the same day that
it is taken from the field
He has found that at maturity
seed corn contains from 20 to 30 per
cent water and the germ is easily in
jured by freezing when the corn con-
tains this large amount of moisture.

The Sunday School Association is in
terdenominational and all young
people and adults of all Genomina-
tions, and of no denomination, are
urgently invited to attend this con-
vcntion. Parents are especially in
vited. There will be large num-
Der of people here from outside the
city, and we hope that tn interest Of
our home people in this strong pro-
gram on Religious Education viii be
much in evidence.

FREE GAS HERE

Last Friday night Art. Dodge,
local manager for the Penn-Ameeican
Oil Co., was giving gasoline away
free at the storage tanks over on the
West Side. But he didn't know it.
Someone who evidently didn't half
appreciate the recent drop in ga
prices broke into the tank house,
drew all he cared for or all he could
cart away, and left without leaving
charge address or even SO much as
a note of thanks.
Mr.. Dodge is unable to state just
now how much his unsolicited "pat-
ron" took, but it will show up in the
check made at the close of this week.
This and the River Falls Co-opera-
tive Creamery robbery the same
night are generally supposed to have
been pulled off by the same party or
parties, but to date no definite clues
have been discovered in either case.

Creamery Robbed
Last Friday Night

Backing an auto up tc the north
entrance of the River Falls Co-opera-
tive Creamery sometime Friday
night, party of thieves broke into
the building, loaded about 5000
worth of butter into their car and
departed for points unknown. The
robbery was discovered by Bert Pier
son when he came down to open up
the place for business Saturday
morning.
Five 63-lb. pals and 100 pounds
of print butter were taken. The
loss is covered by insurance which
has already been adjusted.
1t is thought that the thieves
gained entrance through window,
but there is no mark to indicate for
certain just how they did get in.
They first visited the ice cream de-
partment, and opened the storage
room there. 1t was butter they
wanted SO they abandoned that sec
ton and pried or filed the lock from
the butter refrigerator, collected
their toll and fled.
Although many creameries in this
vicinity have been robbed during
the past two or three years, this is
the first time butter has been stolen
from the local concern. A change
box for butter-milk sales had been
rifed few times of from between
30 and so cents, but nothing more
serious until Friday night. There
was small amount of change in the
box Friday, and this was taken, with
the exception of few pennies which
were scattered upon the floor.
Tire marks in the roadway indi-
cate that the machine used by the
thieves was a small one, but aside
from that there appear to be no clues.

BELDENvILLE CLUB

An appreciative crowd listened to
an excellent program at the Belden-
vile Community Club Saturday even
ing, Aug. 25. The musical part was
rather in the nature of a surprise
party. We expected Everal Perkins
to sing for us; instead we found our
selves singing for him and we are
still wondering how he did it.
Mr.. Perkins also spoke for few
minutes on "The Trend of Prices in
Dairy Feeds" and club members
will watch the markets carefully for
the next few weeks to see whether
or not his conclusions were correct.
Mr.. Perkins has a cordial invitation
to "come again"
Father Brennen's subject "The
Causes of Crime" was discussed in
his usual fearless, forceful, manner.
No thought al person could deny the
truth of his assertions and no thot-
full person could easily forget his
words. The Club would be glad to
hear him again.

CHANGES IN THE T. B. TESTS

Important changes of policy in re-
gard to me tuberculosis eradication
campaign in Wisconsin are to be
made by John d. Jones, Jr.,commis-
sioner of agriculture, following his
announcement of the new personnel
of the livestock sanitary board
Hereafter anyone who wishes his
herd tested under the local veteri-
marian plan must first make applica-
tion through the department of agri-
culture. He must sign an agreement
that he will have his herd retested at
sufficient intervals to keep the herd
clean. No indemnity will be paid on
cattle owned less than 80 days before
being tested. 1t was also voted to
test counties under the area test pro-
gram in the order in which applica-
tons were filed, rather than to try
and clean up distinct section of the
state.
Commissioner Jones' appointment
of DR.. Vernon S. Larson, Berlin, as
state veterinarian, is receiving the
general approval of the livestock
men of the state. His appointment
of J.. G. Robinson, Evansville; Wal
ter Schroeder, West Bend; George A.
Nelson, Midtown, and James Dillon,
Mondovi, as the farmer members of
the sanitary board as required under
the new law, is regarded in the same
light.

AT CHISHOLM, MINI.

Leo (Budd) Brown, 20, son of Mr..

timekeeper at the Dunwoody Mine.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, upon being

to Chisholm, and accompanied the
body home.

mand of Sgt. Harold Baker, gave
the final military salute at the grave.

all who knew him. The bereaved
family have the sincere sympathy of
the entire community in their tragic

SUGGESTION FOR THE ZOO

Although they are perhaps II
mildest of CANNES, and certainly the
saddest, nevertheless we believe
that a pair of bloodhounds would be
an interesting and rchily valuable
addition to the zoo which the Rod e.
Gun Club is establishing in Glen
Park.
No breed of dog is advertised in
such sensational or romantic man.
ner. Some of the most thrilling
stories in fact and fiction feature
the faithful and unerring work of
the gentle but trusty scent follower,
and that alone would draw the atten-
ton of the Park visitors.
And it is more than likely that
they could earn Sheir keep. Most
every day the papers tell of instances
where bloodhounds followed an in
visible trail that led to the detection
of a criminal, and if available to go
on the job at once, it is claimed that
they seldom if ever fail in their mis-
sion. The fact of having such dogs
available is said to have practically
stopped crime in some rural vicini-
ties where burglaries were hereto
fore most frequent.
Then too, should any of the deer or
other inmates of the zoo escape, re-
capture would be more certain with
bloodhounds on the trail.
1t strikes US as "doggon" good
idea.
