An Interesting History
Of the Badger State
Learn While Earning Practiced by
Badger Folks. System Big
Aid for Farming

About thirty years ago the Wis
consin Experiment Station set about
breeding pedigreed grains in small
way. Today Wisconsin is the leading
pedigreed grain state in the Union.
In 1906 the Wisconsin Experiment
Association was organized for the
purpose Of giving immediate state
wide dissemination to the improved
strains developed at the station. The
members of this association are for
ner students at the University, to
TIE number of two thousand farmers
throughout the state. Seeds are fur
nished to these men who are skilled
farmers. On farm adjoining main
road two experimental tracts Of
grain are grown, pedigreed seed be-
ing used for one tract and poor seed
for the other. The difference in the
yield is striking and sign is put up
in the field telling the story. AS the
result of this work the average yield

demonstrate the value of the course.
1t is an impressive sight to attend
one of the lectures at the short
course, or to visit field demonstra-
ton and see the intense interest of
hundreds of farmers present. The
Farmers Week is another develop
ment. Thousands of farmers gather
at the University yearly for a pop
ular course of lectures and demon
STATIONS.
Farming With Dynamite
Blowing Wisconsin soil into pro-
ductivity" is phrase that may be
used to describe the activity of the
Wisconsin Experiment Association,
which is working with other agencies
in clearing the cut-over timber
lands of the northern part of the
state.
1t is estimated that $4,000 acres
OF land were cleared in the year 1920,
which meant that this land was more
than doubled in value, and that thou.
sands of productive farms were
created.
In Marinette county, during 1919,
the slogan was "Clear $4,000 acres
III 1920" Banners were Haunted ov-
err the entire county. Every auto
mobile carried one. In September a
gala celebration attended by thou
sands of people was held to witness
the blowing of stumps on the last
acre. Undoubtedly no similar scene
was ever before witnessed in this
country. Farmers drove in from all
parts of the county. and thousands
of people were present to witness TIE
big blow-up.
All the stumns in the acre chosen
were whitewashed so they could b.
distinctly seen. The cartridges haG
been placed at each stump with cleo
tic wires connecting them to a point
outside the field and thence to the
stand where Dean Russell of the
College of Agriculture threw a switch
and blew an acre of cut-over land
into productivity, filling the air with
cloud of stumps, dust, and scatter.
ed pieces of soil.
The use of "TNT" for land clear.
ing is an interesting story of the use
of waste product. When the Euro
rean war closed, the Federal govern.
ment had vast stores of this explo
sive ready for use. The first suc'
gestion for it's disposal was to sjnl
it in the ocean. The Experiment Sta
ton proved that it was useful fal
land clearing contrary to the belle
of explosive experts, and got th'
government to distribute some of i

per acre Of grain throughout the
state has steadily increased through
the use of pure bred grains, and to-
day it is much higher than that of
the nation at large.
Alfalfa Increase Important
AS showing the actual returns from
this work, figures are cited; taking
the value of the yield per acre of the
principal grain crops in the period
before pure seeds were used, and in
the period after. an increase of $13.-
100000 year is shown, over a ten
year period, or $130.000,0O0 in all.
On corn alone the average increase
per acre was 3.3 bushels, which on a
total acreage of 100000 at eighty
seven cents per bushel, the farm price,
meant an increase in values of $4,-
100000. A campaign to promote the
planting Of alfalfa resulted in in
creasing the acreage from 10000
acres in 1910 to $1,000 in 1920, and
in 1924 no less than $4,000 acres of
this legume were cut.
Another Wisconsin development is
the short course in agriculture which
thus far has been attended by $500
students. 1t means two winters of
intensive training at the University
for farners-ffteen weeks each win
ter, at time when farm work is
not pressing.

U. OF M. FOOTBALL
TEAM READY FOR
FORT WILLIAMS
Especial to the Kennebec JournaD

especial TO the kennebec JournaO
University of Maine, Sept. "a
The University of Maine mascot,
Bananas" has awakened from his
summers dream and is ready to
welcome the Fort Williams football
team to Alumni field. With the
weather staying as it has been the
crowd will have a chance to wear
their fur coats and have a chance
to feel real Maine football weather.
When the Big Blue takes the field
against the Soldiers there will be
but two of last years regulars on
the field. Captain Fraser at tackle
is sure to give the crowd a great eX-
hibition of football. Fraser has been
all Maine tackle for two years and
will be the big gun in the Maine
line this year. The other regular
to start Saturday is Newhall, who
was All Maine end last year. New
hall has, however, been shifted to
the back field to fill the shoes of
Blair. Before the afternoon is over
the crowd will havev a chance to see
Newhall as a kicker, passer and a
broken field runner.
The squad has just come through
a week of hard work and is in fair
shape for the battle. AS yet it is
a question who will start, but it is
almost certain that the Maine team
will line up as follows:
Stanton, Deveau or Lavorgna,
ends: Capt. Frasher and Lamoreau,
tackles; Elliot and Dickson, guards:
Beeaker or Dickey, center; Cassista,
quarterback; Barrows, fullback !;
Newhall, left halfback; Peaks or

CRY OF POVERTY
lcontinusd from Page onel

barrier indicated Mr.. Mellon had said
the French offer of an initial payment
of SIS 200, 900 and with graduated in
creases yearly over a long period was
wholly inadequate. There was the
further evidence that the Americans
declined to accept the picture oil
French conditions as being as bad as
suggested and the Americans there
fore were unwilling to go further
with any plea for extreme leniency In
that circumstance alone.
The French minister and his asso :
ciates went away from the brief
meeting today to ponder over the
suggestions made so pungently by
Mr.. Mellon. They had several mee--
ings among themselves, and will have
more tomorrow.
Meanwhile Chairman Borah of the
senate foreign relations committee
aired a new method of pressing his
campaign for settlement by the
French.
/ The Idaho senator said he had been
informed that foreign nations were
obtaining loans in thi. country at six
and eight per cent interest and that
the amount of such private loans to
foreign countries and industries dur
ing the last year had reached one bill
lion dollars with one billion more in
the process of negotiation.
Press dispatches, the letters to the
cabinet officers stated, declared that
prospective settlements will pave the
way for flood of loans to Europe.
Senator Borah holds that IL Euro
pean governments are negotiating
large loans in this country at this
time at and s per cent interest, CIV
ing securities to American bankers.
the foreign debtor nations can afford
to pay terms the same as were i'm
posed in the settlement of the British
debt to the United States. Economi-
cally and financially France Is able
to pay her debt on that basis, Senator
Borah holds.
nance minister will have new offer
to present, perhaps tomorrow or Mons
day.
While there was indication that both
sides We're somewhat taken back by
the wide divergence of views between
the two commissions. it was recalled
that a similar situation arose during
the conversau tons on the British fund
ing settlement. Apparently grave diff
ferences were reconciled then and the
fact served as the basis for belief
that temporary halts in the present ne
gotiations were unlikely to have Sc
rious consequences.
Members of the French delegation,
although here less than three days, al
ready have witnessed a demonstration
of the American straight-from-the-
shoulder way of dealing with complex
problems.
Mr.. Melons memorandum today
does not mince words and the few
Frenchmen who understand English
were reported to have been surprised
at the directnesS employed by the sec
rotary.
American commissioners hoped the
Mellon memorandum. which they said
in no sense could be construed as
counter proposal, would serve to pro-
vide the debtor representatives with
some idea as to the general feeling in
the United States as the government
observes it. There was no intention,
it was said. to submit definite terms.
and the statement thus left the way
open for NJ. Caillaux to suggest more
positive proposals.
