State Highway Engineer Gives
History of Highways.

Madison-Wisconsin highway
history. as told by A. r. Hirst, state
highway engineer, in the Farmer
Banker News Bulletin, official or
gan of the Wisconsin Bankers as
ISOLATION for March gives an insight
into what is known as the Wisconsin
idea, now adopted in many states.
while Wisconsin's record in con
struetlon is excellent and the states
standard of performance is at least
the average of American states,
says Mr.. Hirst, 'its place in road
history probably for all time TO
come, will be based on two basic
Wi~~onsin ideas:
81. The state should maintain a
statewide system of roads regard
less of its state Improvement.
"2. This system should be mum
bered and shown ON maps so that
anyone, given a map or instructions
can follow the system"
These ideas have become so fixed
in the public mind that Wisconsin
legislatures have fallen in with the
idea in the several sessions last past
and given such encouragement and
support that in 1924 there will be
10000 miles of numbered and mark
ed state trunk highways in the state
maintained by counties under state
auspices. Mr.. Hirst adds. Tho
total rural highway mileage in Wis
consin being 10000 miles, the mum
Der of marked highways in 1924 win
be 10 per cent of the total, he states
Such marked trunk highways have
been counterpart in similar county
highway activities, according to Mr.
Hirst, so that by the end of 1924 the
two systems will have 10000 miles
Of marked road or 25 per cent Of all
marked highways in the state.

BAYFIELD, sBASKETEERS EASY
FOR HURLEY
Unable to Solve Hurley's Defense
They Go Down to Defeat by the
Score of 20 to 8.

The Bayfield, basket ball tossers
proved easy for the local high
school five in the game at the Lincoln
school gym last Friday evening
Hurley taking the game by the count
of 20 to 8.
The visitors spent their strength
in the second quarter, playing Hlr-
ley even in this quarter. each side
netting points. After that Hurley
had everything her own way,
Bayfield, being able to score but one
more point. A free throw early in
the third quarter gave the visitors
the one point that brought their
score to eight They failed to ring
the basket in the fourth quarter.
Bayfield, seemed unable to solve
Hurley's strong defense and were
compelled to take many long shots
from the floor, but few of them be-
ing successful. They were a scrappy
lot, however, and in spite of the
handicap played their best to the
last.
Due probably to counter attrac-
tons the attendance at this game was
not up to standard

Villas County to Vote On Commits sion
Form of Government.

Whether our neighbOr county of
Villas shall change from the present
system of county government to a
commission form will be determined
at the polls at the coming spring
election, a petition with the required
number Of signers having been filed
with the county clerk asking that
Villas county voters be given a
chance to vote on the question.
Should the question at issue
carry, three commissioners, one from
each district, will be chosen at the
spring election in April, 1925. The
maximum salary of each commits
sioner would be $3.50 per year and
mileage.
The commission form of govern

FORD TURNED EN- OUT FAST
LAST YEAR
Final Production Figures Show a
Total of 2,220,6S2 Ford Products
For the Year 1928.

For the Year 1928.
Final production figures fer 1928
just made public by the Ford Motor
company, show a total of 2,220,6S2
Ford products for the year.
OF this number 2,090,959 repre-
sents Ford cars and trucks alone
The output of Fordson tractors
totaled 101 1913 while 1926 Lincoln
cars were manufactured, establishing
a new yearly record.
Every branch of the Ford output
showed decided increase over 1922.
In the case of Ford cars and trucks
this amounted to 1882 or an in
crease of more than SO per cent Re
fleeing greater demand in both agri-
cultural and industrial fields, Ford
son tractor production rose from 6S,-
9S5 in 1922 to 101, 1898 for the year
just ended.
In spite of the substantial increase
in output during the past year Ford
officials say it was impossible to
meet dealers requirements during
the spring and summer months when
orders for 100000 Ford cars and
trucks could not be filled.
Reports now being received from
Ford branches and dealers indicate
that the demand for 1924 will be
even greater than it was during
1928.

Wisconsin VIII Raise New Variety of
Peas

The choicest of the French peas
are going to be raised in northern
Wisconsin.
Horal, a new variety recently de-
veloped by E. j. Delwiche at the
branch of the Wisconsin agricultural
experiment station at Ashland, has
caught the fancy of the Gamers
who believe that they have found a
variety which will produce high
percentage of quality peas. Mr.
Delwiche obtained the new variety in
a cross between the Horsford and
Alaska varieties. 1t has been de-
veloped for its ability to resist root
rot and for the uniformity of the
ripening Of the pods, which makes it
valuable to the Gamers for the large
production of small-size peas. The
smaller, more tender peas are known
as French peas and demand higher
prices from the trade.
The State Gamers association has
formed a seed corporation for the
purpose of increasing the amount of
seed of this new strain.
