DAWSON BANKER SAYS
OPTIMISM JUSTIFIED
WARNS, HOWEVER, AGAINST
THOUGHTLESS SPENDING,
AND IMITATION AGAIN.

There is a notable change in the
general feeling regarding business
prospects at the present time, which
in my opinion. is we'll justified de-
clared Mr. B. c. Perry, cashier of the
Dawson National bank, in an inter-
view granted today.
For some time past, in some lines
as long as a year ago, there have been
indications that the rate of progress
in business could be accelerated with
out in any way jeopardizing the gains
which have already been made, or un-
doing the work of readjustment which
was so necessary, but exceedingly ar
duous
with the movement of crops to
market, and the stimulation in the
buying of merchandise which is sea-
sonal, the tendency is distinctly OPP
timistic, and | can see no reason at
all why it should be otherwise, or why
the same confident attitude should not
prevail indefinitely.
"One of the reasons why optimism
prevails, | believe, is because of the
progress which has been made toward
settlement of debts owed BY Euro
pean countries to the United States.
Certainly, the broadaminded and lib
eral attitude of this country in regard
to payments has created most Ia
vorable impression abroad, and many
who have been inclined in the past to
picture Uncle Sam in the role OF
'Shylock' will be compelled to revise
their opinions.
"The effect Of this, in the United
States, cannot be otherwise than ben
ehcial. AS long as we remain an ex-
porter of agricultural products the in
huence of foreign relations upon those |
who are raising exportable products
will be marked Certainly, for num-
Der OF years 70 come, we will have
an exportable surplus, so the debt set
Elements which have been made or
are in prospect have vital import
ance to the rural districts as we'll as
the great seaport cities.
"To go back to the question OF re-
vived optimism, this appears to me to
be time when the building up OF
credit is highly desirable. Credit is
important at all times, but the oppor-
tunity to establish and increase is best
when business is good and there is
general confidence. Thoughtless spend
ing should be curbed and every effort
made to prevent any recurrence OF the
period of wild initiation which follow
ed the war
Briefly, times look good and there
is a bright outlook. Let's capitalize
this, but be careful not to overcapital-
ize it"

FARMER SHOULD
GET AS EGGS A
YEAR EACH HEN
September Lowest PrOduc-
ton Month, Says
Poultry Expert.

The Wisconsin farmer who is not
getting 145 eggs a year from each of
his leghorn pullets is not getting all
he can normally expect. Fifteen years
of study of poultry data by Prof A. G..
Phillips has convinced him that this
figure is as near normal egg produc-
ton as can be arrived at at this time,
he told pupils of the Radio Farm
School of the Blue River Valley
Creamery Institute recently.
Ordinarily September is the lowest
month in point of egg production and
April the highest, said Prof. Phillips
who is one of the leading poultry ex-
perts in America. The following daily
egg production he considers normal
production from a flock of 100 pullets
for each of the twelve months: Octo-
Der, 20; November 40; December 80;
January 35; February As; March 55;
April IS; May so; June so; July 40;
August %, and September Is.
And here is his explanation of the
figures:
"Pullets seldom lay every day and
all pullets do not lay at the same time
except possibly in the spring. Pullets
that do lay do not all lay on the same
dav. In October many pullets will
not commence laying on the first of
the month, but the number will in
creaseas the month goes on. We con-
slider 20 eggs a day the normal aver
age to expect from this flock in Octo-
Der.
80 Eggs Day Normal.
November is usually a comfortable
month and the production will be
doubled and 40 eggs per day procured
for that month. In December we
usually have a severe cold snap which
causes a material cut in production.
Therefore 30 eggs per day is consider
ed the normal figure. January should
average around 35 eggs a day, and
this should jump to As in February be-
cause the approaching spring gener-
ally results in the pullets eating more
and therefore increasing production.
April High Month.
April is the high month of produc-
ton for pullets under an artificial
lighting scheduled. In March the birds
will endeavor to reach this peak by
producing SIS eggs a day. For April
we estimate IS eggs day. After the
peak is reached production will drop
off and May is estimated to bring on
ly go eggs day.
The weather is warmer in June and
the birds cut their production still
further, bringing the figure down to
SO eggs a day. Because of the hot
July weather and the decrease in the
natural food supply only 40 eggs a
day is considered fair estimate for
this month. August will produce 25
eggs 3 day because the number of
layers is thinning out Only the real
200-egg layers are on the job in Sep
TENDER and Is eggs a day is a reason
able expectation"

Mineral Point Zinc Co.
Erecting New Zinc Building

Zinc Co. is erecting 2 steel building at

WISCONSIN LEADS ALL STATES IN
CHEESE PRODUCTION; BIRD BUTTER

Especial Correspondence to The Herald
Wisconsin led the states of the I'M
ion last year both in production of
cheese and evaporated milk, according
to Herbert C. Hooks, secretary of the
Evaporated Milk Association, in an adj
dress in Chicago recently. The Badg-
er state stood third high in the pro-
duction of butter.
Total production of cheese for Wis
consin was 268,214,000 pounds" said
Mr.. Hooks There were 442, 583, 900
pounds of evaporated milk produced
which means that the evaporated milk
plants used approximately double that
amount of milk since the evaporated
product is merely fresh cows milk
sterilized and with 60 per cent of the
water removed The production of
butter was 154,826,000 pounds.
Minnesota Led In Butter.
New York and Oregon were the two
next highest on the list in the manu-
facture of cheese, while California and
New York produced the largest
amounts of evaporated milk after Wis
consin. Minnesota led in butter pro-
duction with total of 229, 985,000 lbs
Iowa was second with 159,378,000 lgs.
and Wisconsin produced 1885, 900
pounds.
Butter production in the United
States last year amounted to 1856
0S0,000 pounds which includes 100000
900 pounds of farm butter or enough
to supply every man, woman and child
in the country with over IL pounds
each. Enough cheese was produced
to give over 81 pounds of cheese to
everybody, and sufficient evaporated
milk to distribute over 1915 pounds to
each person"
Butter Dollar Worth $1.01.
The Wisconsin farmers dollar from
the sale of butter, eggs and chickens
is now worth a dollar and one cent in
merchandise, according to computa-
tions of the Blue Valley Creamery In
stitute, which finds that the combined
purchasing power of these three farm
products is now about four-year
pre-war level for the same month.
Last year and for several years af-
ter the war when the Wisconsin farm
er took dollar received in payment
for farm products to the store to buy
manufactured commodities, he found
his dollar would buy only sixty, sew
enty or eighty cents worth of goods
compared to the dollars worth it
would buy in pre-war days. Prices of
Wisconsin farm products have now
advanced to a point where today dol
lars worth of butter, eggs and chick
ems not only brings the farmer a
hundred cents worth of needed articles
but even one cent more than the dol
lar he received for these particular
products before the war. 1t is well to
bear in mind, say the Institute experts
that it is not the number of dollars
the farmer receives for his butter
eggs, or poultry, but what these dol
lars will buy in shoes, shingles, suits
salt, seed or silos that count
