with the previous achievement and

an epic of the simple country life,

DEMONS BEAT
VIC. IN HARD
FOUGHT GAME

In Il close and exciting game on
the local gym Saturday evening, the
Demons" of Bismarck High nosed
out the Valley City five by 1916
count.
Alison, star center on the local
quintet was kept out of the game
by an injury, and his loss weakened
the offense considerably.
Valley City resorted to long shots
for most of its counters, while Bis
n..rc. scored on short shots. The
first half ended lilo in favor of the
Demons" During the second half,
both sides battled desperately 10
score, and many easy attempts at
the basket were missed. Alison was
used for several minutes ut the close
of the contest, but Coach House,,
was forced to take him out on ac-
count OF the bad condition of his
leg.
Burke was the high man for Bis
marck, while Lee and Mulhair did
the stellar work for Valley City.

ing-more of the necessities and per-
haps some of the comforts OF life tor
farmers living in this part OF the
state.
Potato Development.
Probably no other crop raised IN
Wisconsin has so many elements OF
speculation in it. Favorable condl-
tions and a good yield always result
in lower prices. The standardization
of seed, the grading of the crop, the
production of maximum yields on
limited areas of ground through GOOD
culture and crop rotation seem to be
the most certain means TO success.
The question may we'll be asked, is
there not some other crop that can be
grown in the potato section at less
hazard and with greater assurance
of reasonable return?" One thing IS
certain. Diversified farming is al
wavs better in the long run than is
the single crop system, yet no section
can raise better potatoes than central
and northern wisconsin. Wisdom lies
in moderate acreage, wider use OF bet
ter seed, and larger control OF mark
citing. In the development OF the po-
tato seed business, Wisconsin mas
taken a forward step as a result OF
the seed certification. Over 40O,OUO
bushels of seed stock are now avail
able from $40 farms. The markets

Productive Soil Basis of Profit.

Productive Soil Basis of Profit.
A half crop" is always an unprof-
liable crop, no matter what the price.
Glover and alfalfa seed sown on land
where it will not grow is wasted seed.
Hours spent in the cultivation of a
crop that in the end yields little are
so much labor in vain" Yet these
conditions exist all too frequently on
Wisconsin farms.
Many of these disappointments can
be avoided by the use of one or more
of three things:
/. The use of limestone on acid
soils for clover and alfalfa.
2. The use of phosphate fertilizers
on long cropped soils.
8. The use of potash on sour peat
soils
The increasing use of limestone and
the satisfactory results obtained have
already been mentioned in another
paragraph.
The use of phosphate fertilizers on
long cropped soils has shown favor
able returns on 81 out of 80 farms on
which they were tried during the
growing season this year. On five Of
these farms no increase in yield was
made. On the remaining farms the
returns from the use of phosphate
fertilizer (alone or in combination)
varied from 2 TO 10 bushels OF bar
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1923-02-28

are now recognizing the value of this
stock and more and more are de-
handing it.
Plant Disease Takes Toll.
On no crop can the individual farm
err expect to make a profit where any
large portion of it is destroyed by dis
ease. The crops from which plant
diseases take their largest annual toll
in this state are fruits, potatoes and
cabbage.
Treatment Of seed by corrosive
sublimate, the spraying of plants with
various mixtures and the use of dis
ease resistant seed are the surest
means of checking this loss. The
amount thus saved often may suffice
to convert loss into a profit. That
farmers are taking advantage of these
opportunities to prevent loss is shown
by the fact that during the past year
over 100000 bushels of potatoes were
treated with corrosive sublimate. The
eagerness of the farmer to apply
methods that will stop losses is often
taken advantage of where no real
benefit results. The sulphur treat
ment for potato scab is a case in
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1923-02-28

A HAT A LAND clearing campaign
is necessary is shown by four
facts:
L.. Food consumption in this
area is far in excess of produc-
tion,.
2 large importations of rough
feeds for maintenance, not production
of herds and focks.
3. Rapidly increasing population
without corresponding increase in
dairy cows.
Lack of balance in farm opera
tions which makes it necessary for
many farmers to seek other employ
ment in order to provide the abrest
necessities of life.
All these statements are matters of
common observation and have abso-
lutte statistical proof as we'll Such
farms cannot be profitable and never
will become profitable until much
larger acreage is under pillow. The
biggest hindrance to cultivation is the
pine stump which is most quickly and
economically removed by use of ex-
plosives. An additional supply of
picric acid was secured through the
U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, and

and fight against losses all along the
line.
Diagnosis From Diseased Specimens.
AS soon as an outbreak of animal
disease occurs farmers are usually
advised to send specimens to the vet
Urinary department at the College of
Agriculture for diagnosis. This SER
vice is furnished to both farmers and
veterinarians to enable them to re-
duce livestock losses. During the

ley-3.5 to 21.3 bushels of oats and
from $50 to 1900 pounds of alfalfa or
clover hay where the fertilizer was
applied. After making allowance for
the cost of fertilizer and its applica-
ton a favorable crop return is shown
to over one-half of the farmers who
made these trials This of course
makes no allowance for the unused
fertilizer remaining in the soil. II
our farms are to show profits
throughout series of years the fer
tility of the soil must be maintained
or increased. This is the one immu-
table law from which no farmer can
escape.
The Profits Of Poultry.

was disposed of in 81 counties at cost
Of cartridging and distribution. This
distribution which resulted in a saw
ing to the farmers aggregating $780,
coo, was made after rs car loads of
other explosives had been sold for
spring clearing by commercial con-
Germs. Picric acid added to the above
amount another 70 cars so that a to-
tai of 145 cars of explosives, an
amount sufficient to clear 100000
acres, were distributed to the 10000
farmers residing in the cut-over area.
This average amount of acres added
to the area of each farm will not
mean price depression of farm prod
ucts of this section because it will be
consumed il the locality where it is
produced. 1t will mean a better liv-

200. These so ''culls" were put into
a separate pen, and during the six
weeks that they were held, laid just
three eggs-while the remainder of
the flock laid 60 eggs a day. Mr. Nc
Dowell of Grant county culled his
flock, sold the poor ones for $65 and
received the same number of eggs
from the remainder as from the origi-
nal flock.
The average production per hen in
Wisconsin is IS eggs a year. The av-
erage production of the hens in the

six counties during the season just

used with little resulting benefit. In
consequence of these demonstrations

Cheaper production is the farmers
only answer to falling prices. But
how is cheaper production possible?
1t is this question that the agricul-
tural college is trying to answer in
its pig feeding demonstrations that
have been widely distributed on farm
ers' own farms over the state. The
cost of feed for each hundred pounds
of pork made by pigs on pasture has
varied from $2.6 hundred (the low

farmer. Many farmers have learned
that after chilling out the boarder
hens, the remaining flock, on less feed
actually produced the same number
of eggs. When this work of sorting
and culling has been carried on for
years it has been found to increase
the production each year over that of
the previous year.

Orchards Made Profitable.
The unproductive orchard cannot
be made source of profit but when
properly pruned and sprayed high
quality apples that sell we'll on the
market can be produced. While the
income from the farm orchard may
not be large-like poultry-it can be
made to contribute something to the
total income of the farm. The usual
objection to orchard improvement is
summed up in a typical statement,
IF l do spray and get good fruit l
can't sell it." The chief difficulty is
in disposing of early apples so that
cooperative advertising and selling
agencies are necessary. How the
plan works is illustrated in the case
