Screenings Good

Consisting Principally of
Various Weed Seeds.

anu strnws. dirt and other foreign
material, and often constitute 10 to 20
per cent of the grain as it comes from
the thresher. They should not. how
ever, be regarded us a waste. but
should be turned to valuable account
oy feeding them to live stock.
Gives Screenings Away.
When screenings are sold with the
grain they are classed as dockage. and
the grain farmer actually gives them
away, because his grain is docked ac-
cording to the proportion of screen
ings 1t contains. This loss to the grain
FARMER mounts to huge figures when
large sections are considered. In 1929.
for example, nearly 12,OOO,OOO bushels
or screenings were produced. threshed
and marketed as dockage in the states
or North Dakota, South Dakota, Min
nesota and Montana. The sum of
BI5,O0O was paid by the farmers of
these states for threshing their screen
ings or dockage, and SSOO,OOO was paid
to the railroads for hauling 1t to the
terminal markets. Millions of dollars
worth of good feed was thus given
away. The grain farmer was the loser.
The average screenings are more
nearly equal TO oats in composition
than any other common feed Heavy
screenings from which the chaffy
material has been removed are nearly
equal to corn, wheat, or barley in the
percentages of the various nutrients.
More than 3,5OO,OOO lambs could have
been fed with the wheat screenings
that were wasted in the four spring
wheat states in 1923 forming the en-
tire grain ration. The resulting in
crease in weight of the lambs, at -
cents per pound, would have brought
$4,000 to the farmers. The spring
wheat farmers who cleaned their mar
ket wheat on the farm in 1923 gained
over cents per bushel us result of
the cleaning.
Can Remove Screenings.
When farmer who grows little or
40 grain wants to feed screenings, he
must pay high prices for them in a
reudy-miXed feed, or must purchase
them of the elevator or mill that has
separated them. The grain farmer, on
the other hand, can separate them at
the thresher or granary and feed them
us a by-product of his farm. He pays
no freight or middleman's commission.
BY means of n cleaning machine, the
screenings can be removed from wheat
or rye at cost of or 3 cents per
bushel. A number of these cleaning
machines will be in operation in the
spring-wheat states this year as re-
suit of the work Of the United States
Department of Agriculture in showing
the feeding value of this product for
all kinds of live stock and the practi-
cability and economy of separating 1t
and feeding it on the farm.

HUNGARY TO BE AIDED BY
THE, LEAGUE

After some hesitation an acrimoni-
Gus controversy the Hungarian gov
eminent has decided to accept the
reconstruction loan proffered by the
league of nations. The truly notable
progress made by Austria since it re-
ceived financial aid through a guar
anteed loan arranged by the league
of nations has made a deep impress,
sion on most Hungarian statesmen.
They are said now to realize that tbs
policy which put Austria on it's feet
is equally wise for Hungary
A loan of about $50,0O0,000 is pro-
posed, the proceeds to be applied to
genuine rehabilitation work. Super
vision of the work, as we'll as of Hun
gary's fiscal and budgetary affairs, is
to be intrusted to a body of disintel
ested administrators which the league
OF nations, or it's council, will select,
with the approval of the Hungarian
government-Chic News.

FOR WIDER CuLVERTS

Herbert L. Hoard of the Fort At
kinson Union is in the midst of
campaign for wider culverts on the
highways. 1t would be line 10 have
them wider and also the highway in
certain places. Most of the road be-
tween Baraboo and Kilbourn is too
narrow but since that was built many
new ideas have come into highway
construction. 1t should always be
remembered that the wider the road
or wider the culvert the greater the
cost. TIL plan has been in this state
to build as much as possible for the
money and have the road serviceable.
This was far better than to build but
short pieces and have great gaps
where the roads were not passible
for several months in the year, When
enough money is available make the
roads wider, make the culverts long
'er, and make the highways more per,
manent. All in all Wisconsin has
made great advancement and is one
of the leading states in this move
ment. Those who think Wisconsin
roads are not up to snuff should try
Iowa, Illinois or other neighboring
states when the mud is so deep and
that one cannot lift a foot.

KEEP THE ROADS OUT OF
POLITICS

Concerning the effort of Senator
George Staud to GUST A. r.
Hurst chief engineer Of the state high
way commission the Portage Register
Democrat says:
Mr.. Hirst is recognized as one of
the most capable engineers connect
ed with roadbuilding in the United
States. He enjoys state, national,
and international reputation for eff
ciecy in highway location and con-
struction; and his services would be
eagerly sought by any state desiring
a highway engineer, should the poll
ticaI powers that be in Wisconsin
commit the regrettable mistake of
forcing his resignation through any
method of personal or political an
tagonism.
There is entirely too much politics
apparent in the appointment and ad-
ministration of our various important
state commissions to permit the most
efficient work in the broadcast inter
ests of the people in general. Only
recently the State Board of Control
was given a shake up" and some of
it's members asked. to resign.
Columbia county pays more than a
half million dollars in taxes, large
percentage of which sum is for road,
building and maintenance purposes,
and it will be most deploragle should
the State Highway Commission be
subjugated to position as part of a
political machine. J.,
Keep the highways out. of politics,
by all means!

ENCOURAGING WILD LIFE

Not so very long ago wild life TEEN
ed in the great Mississippi valley.
The beaver built his dams, the musk
rat raised his houses in the autumn,
herds Of the deer family roamed the
prairies, fish swarmed in the lakes
and streams while game birds at
times darkened the sun in their
flight. AS the season advanced from
spring to autumn, the prairies were
as succeeding species OF wild flow
ers took their place on the, chang
ing scene. The wild pigeons are
gone forever, but reminders of the
beaver are left in this section. and
but remnants of other game may be
seen at favorable periods of the year.
Conservation is word that ap-
piled to much activity in an effort
to keep a few of the specimens Of
plants, animals, birds, and fish for
future generations. Conservation has
taken many forms and one of this
most active organizations under this
banner is the Izaak Walton League
of America which has for it's object
the propagation and permanent pres
ervation of game and fish to tbs
end chat for generations to come
the posterity of America may enjoy
the outdoors of our ancestors"
| The scope of the organization is
to include everything which pertains
to wild life of all kinds and to g
general fellowship in relation to the

LINCOLN PAPER
AT LOCAL CLUB


The regular meeting OF the Cath
Ollie Woman's club was held at the
K. C. club rooms on Wednesday
evening. There was large atten-
dance and each member responded to
roll call by reading quotation from
Lincoln, Mrs. Elizabeth Burke then
read a very interesting and instruc-
tive paper on the Life of Abraham
Lincoln" Extracts from her paper
follow:
Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth pres
ident of the United States was born
in Kentucky in 1909 died in 1865. He
worked as a boy on his fathers
farm in Indiana until he was about
seventeen years of age doing any and
every kind Of work in connection
with clearing and settling the land.
He then became clerk in store
In 1882 he became captain Of vol
unteers in the Black Hawk war Fol
lowing this he was postmaster at
New Salem and finally student law
In 1884 he went to the legislature,
afterward becoming practical law
yer. In 1876 he became member
of congress and always took an &C
tive part in public affairs. He was
elected president in 1860. The Civl
war broke out in 1861, and 1858 he
issued the famous proclamation free
ing the slaves The war ended in
1865. A few weeks later, he died by
the shot Of an assassin while attend :
ing a theater at Washington. During
his brief term Of power. Lincoln was
probably the object Of more abuse
and ridicule than any other man IN
the world but when he fell by the
hands of an assassin at the very
moment of his stupendous victory
all the nations Of the earth wed with
each other in doing homage to his
character. Recent years have witness
sed an intensive study of all the de-
tails of Mr. Lincoln's life. No word
Of his has been too small, no asso-
citation too remote to enlist at the
quick attention of an interested PEG

ciples Of free government, abhorren
