3 The Soil Survey being carried
1T in Sank County is collecting
information to show the acreage of
alfalfa and what kinds of soil this
crop is most. generally. successful
on. Much Of the soil in. Sank
County is acid or sour and most OF
the successful growers of alfalfa
have been compelled to use ground
limestone in order to get a per-
manent stand. Some get good
stands without lime the first sea
son but the alfalfa winter kills be-
cause it is weak. Others get fair
permanent stands on steep sandy
loan slopes where the ridge above
is capped with limestone rock and
furnishes lime to keep the soil
sweet In still other cases, where
the surface soil only is sour, with
sweet soil beneath, it is possible
on fertile land to keep the alfalfa
going till it's roots are able to reach
down and get lime from the sweet
soil below
When Limestone is Needed.
With the above exceptions, good
alfalfa crops demand the applica-
ton of ground limestone, and many
tests show that from two to four
tons per acre are needed. This
should be applied a year in advance
of the alfalfa seeding so that it
may become thoroughly mixed with
the soil. In general, if one seed
ing has winter killed, it will not
pay to try again without limestone
because manure, new land, inocula-
ton, different time of seeding or
different nurse crop will not do the
job if the soft lis sour and needs
lime.
Why Alfalfa Pays
One of the quickest ways for
Sank County farmers to get from
the debit to the credit side OF the
ledger is to produce their products
more cheaply Some wait for high
er prices for their products, others
expect the general level of costs to
come down, but the wisest farmers
make money now by producing
things more cheaply.
Alfalfa helps to do this in num-
Der of ways.
Cost of Cultivation
Sank County is a country of
ridges and valleys and a great ma
jority of the farms cultivate var
ious amounts of steep land. Such
land is the most expensive to cul-
tivate because larger, heavier ma
chinery cannot be used and crops
must be rotated oftener because of

Knight of Galesville, formerly OF
Baraboo who was pensioned not
long ago:
After Al years and Z months
with the company, Conductor H. A.
knight of the Madison division
was retired recently "My first
railroading," he says, was on the
Wisconsin Division Of the North
Western in 1881. | started out OF
Chicago braking for Conductor
Pratt on a freight train bound for
Milwaukee. I wore a pair of big
river boots and all the way from
Chicago to CGybourn Junction I
could hear the boys hollering
"boots!" at me.
"My next work was with Con
ductor Martin, hauling gravel for
the double track between ely
bourn Junction and Evanston. In
1882 | went to work for Conductor
Dempsey on the Galena Division as
freight brakeman. Then l worked
as switchman in the Mayfair
yards under Yardmaster Bert Po'
tenger.
In May, 1888, I went to Bara-
boo to work as brakeman for Con
ductor E. e. Ellsworth and have
worked on the Madison Division
since that time. I was set up to
freight conductor in the fall of
1886. In June, 1919, I went to Gales

grocery store and the removal of
the Kradwell drug store to the
north side of the courthouse square
places two lines of business in that
block which have not been there for
fifty years or more. The Kolliners
had a store in hop times, just west
of where the Warren house is To-

Mould recalls that LANCE & Camp
moved their drugstore to the north
side of the square for short time
when the block of wooden build;nss
on the south side burned. The
row of frame structures on the
north side of the block burned July
4, 1859, as the result of ball OF
cotton saturated with oil being
thrown into stairway late at night.

So years ago, according to an &C,

BILE handsome ear of corn, well
filled and full grown, raised in the
garden of Mr.. ClOugh, this city,
from the second crop which has
been grown on the same ground
this season. We pass the garden
between our house and office, and
have seen the growth from day to
day. From the first crop we had a
mess for our table the first week
in July. This matured, was gath
cred, and second crop planted,
which now furnishes nice roasting
ears. No one has tried it but is
convinced that the soil of the Fox

more crops for the amount of Ia
Dor bestowed upon it than any 9TH
