RIETZ MOTOR COMPANY WABENO. WISCONSIN WABENO. WISCONSIN. FRIDAY. AUGUST 4. 1922 Legislators and the North It is almost time to begin planning in earnest to arrange for a legislative tour lof upper Wisconsin. This idea, which the Journal began urging some months ago, has been received with a great deal of favor. Many newspapers and i representative citizens have pronounced the plan one that will make effectively for the fuller development of the pot ential resources of the state. Understanding of the problems'* con nected with the utilization of the mill ions of acres of cut-over land which can be transformed into profitable farms, realization of the urgent need for grow ing, on non-farming land, timber with which to build homes and to supply raw material required to prevent the loss of our wood-using industries; the refor estation of land lying back of our rivers as a means of preventing floods that in flict more and more damage and of stab ilizing u'ater power, the betterment of fishing and hunting and the relation of these thidgs to our opportunity to mul tiply our present tourist trade by 10-to increase it from SIO,OOO a year to $lO,- 000,000— und thus capitalize our mod ern highways, calls for intelligent con sideration on the part of the state gov ernment. Most of these questions come fairly within wise legislative policy, but they cannot be dealt with to advantage ex cept upon a basis of knowledge. Few legislators possess this knowledge at present. An automobile tour of 10 days or two weeks would enable every member of the legistature to gain first hand know ledge of the upper part of the state and its great advantages and possibilities. It would doubtless lead to action, based upon broad, general interests, that would make Wisconsin a much more a ttractive and prosperous state. It is a development that can be carr ied far along several lines, to the great and lasting benefit of all the state. It is not a regional movement—it is of state-wide importance. It would be well for organizations like the Wisconsin Bankers’ association, the Wisconsin Manufacturers’ associa tion, the Wisconsin association of Com mercial Clubs, the Wisconsin Forestry association, and the Wisconsin Federa tion of Women’s Clubs to begin making plans for persuading the state legisla ture, soon to be elected, to tour north ern Wisconsin late next May or early in June No doubt northern Wisconsin will be glad to entertain the legislators and provide motor transportation from point to point. Northern Wisconsin hos pitality is yery real and generous. Use Pure Bred Seeds Wisconsin produces more pure-bred seed grain than all the other states, with Canada, Mexico, Central America, and South America added, put together. This hardly seems believable, but it comes from Prof. R. A Moore, who probably knows more about pure-bred seeds than any other man in the country. In fact, it is a record for which Prof. Moore is largely responsible. Prof. Moore’s story of improving seeds may not be as spectacular as Burbank’s, but in its silent, forceful remaking of agriculture in its essentials, it may carry farther. of barley raised here can be traced to one grain of Oderbrucker barley chosen by Prof. Moore and developed to a high state of perfection merely by plant choice, or cross breeding. Wisconsin has gor e into the corn belt effictively by the scientific wo*rk of Prof. Moore who perfected early seed strains suited to this northern climate. Now Wisconsin has a higher corn yield on the average than Ohio, which is the natural corn belt. § Prof. Moore has put Wisconsin about 20 years ahead of other states in devel oping pure-bred seeds. He started with a tiny plot of land over the protest of Dean Henry, who was the head of the college of agriculture at that time, and hehad to promise to do his own cradling of the grains to get permission. That was nothing for Prof. Moore, however, who had done many a hard day's crad ling. Now Wisconsin sells yearly pure-bred seeds worth millions to almost all the other countries of the globe. Most curious is the fact that while other countries clamor for Wisconsin pure-bred seeds, thousands of farmers of the state where they originated are not yet using them.

Isabelle Gibbons Moonlight, rippling waters - such - Doesn’t take so very much To make a man fall hard and fast For winsome maiden who has cast 1 A smiling glance or purred a word With trilling voice like warbling bird, Oh! that’s because the setting’s fine; Wait, man, wait for the sun to shine! Maiden in the boat with you; Moonlight showing dreams come true; Doesn't take much courage when Trees are sighing for ’tis then That stone wall about your heart Seems to crack and break apart To let love in sounds mighty fine -- Wait, man, wait for the sun to shine! Light of day may cast a glare On the maiden you deemed fair, Thit which you think love may be Passing fancy, wait and see! Let poets rave about moonlight, Keep your head and just sit tight, Or perhaps some day you’ll whine; Wait, man, wait for the sun to shine! Moonlight, rippling waters - such - Doesn’t take so very much To make man know he has a heart That is human and can start To beat faster when it seems Love has come to crown his dreams? I’ll take moonlight - love - for mine! And man can wait for the sun to shine! PADUS Gus Fosdick was to Laona Monday. Joe Polinski was to Wabeno Friday. J. H. Hammes was to Laona Thurs day. D. C.
