able saving has been achieved in

money has been paid out to ex-
soldiers in the way of benefits.
It has been requiring nearly
half million dollars to run the bur

100000 was appropriated for that
purpose. Now it is learned that the
officials of the bureau have turned
back nearly S70OO0.00O to the
treasury, which represents the
amount saved during the year. This
has been done it is said, in spite Of
the fact that $16,000,00O more was

vious, the total amounting to over
$4,000, 900.

Light Standard Comes to Grief.

Shortly after eight o'clock Sun
day morning, a Chevrolet car
driven by Robert F. Lange, of
Owen, Wis, ran down the new
Hight standard on Morgan's corner,
with disastrous results to both the
car and the standard. 1t seems
that LANCE wanted to go out of
town on Route 70 but the party
who was with him at the critical
moment thought different and
yelled, Here's where we turn.
Lange turned but he was already
past the corner and slipping along
rather nicely. He ran UP on the
sidewalk and hit the lightpole
plumb center. The pole broke in
three pieces and left a perfect I'M
print in the bumper of the car, be-
sides smashing the radiator and
breaking part Of the windshield

turn a corner after you've gone by
it or before you come to it, and
don't drive from the backseat.'

POTATO CULTIVATION
Oneida County Growers Tells
of Methods They Success
fully Use

Answering a QUESTIONABLE sent
out by the Rhinelander Daily News,
six of the largest potato growers
in Oneida county give interesting
information regarding their success
full methods of raising potatoes.
All six were opposed to using paris
green as an insecticide. Four used
calcium of calcium arsenate instead,
and two arsenate Of lead. Four
used dry sprayers and two the wet
spray. All agreed, however, that
were they to buy a new sprayer it
would be of the dry type.
All six growers use commercial
fertilizer. One reply reads: Il
used three carloads, one each sea-
son, applying about 900 to 800
pounds to the acre. Trial plots
tested yielded 25 to 80 bushels to
the acre more than the unfertilized
plots. In order to make a profit on
the potatoes grown on fertilized
land, the grower should receive rs
cents or more per bushel.
Practically all agreed upon a g.
year rotation of crops, with oats
clover and potatoes being favored
If the soil is not in fertile state
one grower declared, he used g
four year rotation by pasturina
one season.
One wrote in reply to question
regarding the proper preparation
of soil: "The second crop of clover
should be plowed under The
ground should be thoroughly pre-
pared and can not be cultivated toe
much"
