TO THE HONORABLE A'L- VIBIURS - OF TH1; BAYFIELD C'OUi'STY BOARD,
WASHBURN, `11 SCONSM&
.Ire, the undersigned members of 'the Bayfield County .Fair Association,
do herewith petition this County board of Supervisors to take and make some right
steps in the promotion of our hayfield County Fair or stop it entirely, its annual.
appropriation.
vhereas-the present officers are not legally elected, we the under-
signed members° of said li'air Association, do demand this I'air Board to conduct
this Fair -according to the constitution of Incorporation or else turn in its resig-
nation..
under Article- 4 of the Constitution it reads that the annual meeting
of the Society for the trans-actiori of its, general business. shall be held at t-he
office of the Secretary, and that it should be held on the First Tuesday of each
December, and that such Secretary shall give written notice and published in the
county newspaper, not lessthan two weeks bef ore such meeting. Whereas this was
hardly ever dorze.
.Se -fore the last meeting, notices were made out !March 2nd, and mailed
out March 5th for the annual meeting to be held March (nth at 10 A. MT., which notices
were riot delivered to the stock holders• before the evening of 1AParch the 6th and `%th.
And whereas this Bayfield County zair is maintained by the Tax sayers of this County,
and is intended for the purpose of promoting the live stock and agriculture business,
and industry of this county, we don't think it a fair deal to let one or two men
make a lair on the County's expense, whereas without a due publication, such fair
does not do this county any good, because such not interested officers can not see
to the importance of advertising such fair in time, they never have efficient judges,
to judge and award premiums loyally, and many times- this , our "ayf i eld County Fair-,
doe-sn!t even have ribbons to distribute to the winners.
Now let it be resolved if the County Board, does allow an. appropriation
for this year's fair purposes, it must determine whether the present officers are
legally elected or not, and whether they have any right to conduct such fair this

The following report was then read:
honorable l embers of the County .,3oard of j3ayfi eld county, assembled
on this 24th day of April, 1928, with your b:errnission, I wish, in a few words,
to express my sincere appreciation_ for your cooperation during the past twelve
years in my affiliation as Counter Agriculture- Agent of your County. You no
doubt appreciate that no public official can please his constituents one -hundred
per cent, but i .iedwithout doubt that you have supported this work with the
thought in mind to give a useful servant. to your farmers and to better agricul-
ture- in every -day possible. phis we have always tried to do in the most effic-
ient way planned by all those concerned.
We know we have been criticised, and have always asked for construct-
ive criticism. 'Whenever this was- given it was of great benefit. In s-ome cases
� 4-
-,e have been criticised in a most unscrupulous manner, ZFriUh no thought on the
9 g
part of those who were doing it, for the party who vvas serving them.
we have always given the best we could to those who really showed
some degree of co-operation. i ith this thought in mind and as you will now have
a new man, to serve you, i wish to ask of you honorable l'u.embers of the County
Board of Bayfield County, and as leaders in your respective communities, give him
your heartiest co-operation. %4ith the old thought in riiind. 111 e get out of, life
a25
-- - - _ _ -- ; DEC I1,T,- XE-JE1' IIIG- OF THE BAYFILLD _COU1:1TY BOARD - --
AL�RIL 24, 1928,
what we put into it,' is very similar to our Agriculture work in the County.
rlease remember that a public servant in this work spends thirty per cent
of his time traveling to reach all kinds of work, in all kinds of weather.
Also please remember that a County Agent is not simply hired to go out and
tell a farmer how to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before. :'his is
the smallest part of his work. His biggest job is to create desire in people to
do things more efficiently, to make better homes and better communities. His work
in a greater part is educational, but finds many, many more duties confronting him.
You as Community' leaders can do much in teaching your people how to use
office of the County Agricultural lgent more efficiently.
Before leaving my work in your County, i would like very much to leave
with you the following future program of Agriculture work.
Ito. 1. To improve and increase Dairy and Dairy products-. and above all
to encourage a progran of growing more legume hay (especially Alfalfa.), also roots
and silage. Use Dairy sires from tested dams. Clear more land. `:ghat we need here
is more volume of all farm products. in ,order to cut dovrn cost of marketing.
No. 11. Heforestration and conservation should be given special thought
and work. Counties can do much with their own efforts to assist in this great
future work. Complete fire control irrould mean merchantable lumber_ in twenty to
thirty years. tie should riot turn our Cut over lands to our Government, unless we
have assurance of future tax returns and also that our Government will plant -these -
lands to forests_.
Through co-operation with the State County could perfect a real
effecient Zire Control and then sow seed where sees trees are not to be found.
Vith this system working we would have taxable property within fifteen years, and
have many lumbering companies interested in purchasing of these lands.
E0. 111. Poultry developement is another very important source- of farm
income and should also be given special emphasis. kur farming along with pnultry
should be given all assistance possible.
No. VI. Along the lake shore communities, small fruits -nee d much
assistance. Growers should be- taught the value of high fertility for large; yields,
to cut cost of production.
Iqo. V. All butterfat now being delivered to the GrandviewTVason, Benoit,
Barksdale, Vashburn and Bayfield Creameries should be concentrated to one central
point and manufactured into butter with much less- overhead and with more efficient
marketing. These creameries should all belong to Land OILdkes i-nc.
No. VI. To follow a strong agriculture program, with a desire .for
effective results, 1 would -recommend an annual appropriation of $4500 instead of
035000. This will 'be one way our county board can help, but along with this must
come co-operative response from our variouscoimiunitie-s, so that this money will
bring them the.,things which will: give the greatest service.
Uur real substantial immediate success in Bayfield County depends in the
steady developement of our farms, taker_them away and we have little left.
'lso along with our farms iryre must offer every possible service and encour-
gement to our Resorts and Tourists.
As I will ,be permanently located in your county, I hope it shall .always be -
my privilege to help in some way to make hayfield County a better place to live.
Signed,
V. E. Brubaker.

TO THE COIJIN'Y BOAFD OF,BAYFIE'LD CO-JiTTY$
The County Agricultural Uoimnittee met on the morning of December
j 14, 1927, to investigate the petition handed the County Board on -November 15
regarding the resignation of cr. Brubaker.
The grounds upon which this petition were based were deemed in -
:sufficient to annul Mr. Bruba.ker's contract.
JM1r. Brubaker made the remark he planned to resign during the
summer, possibly in July, upon discussing the proper time to hand the work over
j to a new man, it was decided that IJay lst would be the expedient time in order
to get the best results. Pr. Brubaker magnanimously offered to resign on Tiay lst
with the sole thought in mind that it would give the new man a better chance to
a
make./good showing in County Agricultural York the coming year.

SPECIAL MEETING OF THIE BAYF IELD C OUNTY BOJU:0
I I
i
Ba.yfield, uiisconsin
April 23 , 1928.
Hon. Mr. Peavey, bii. C.
Washington, D. C.
I
Dear Mr. Peavey:
i
We beg to call your attention to existing conditions in this part
i
of Bayfield County, particularly in the Town of Russell, in which the Red Cliff
Indian Reservation is. located.
As you know the beautiful pine timber on this Reservation was
removed some years ago. The land allotted. The Government maintained an Indian
Agency thereon and gave them such assistance in every way as is now done in malty
other places.
About three years ago this came to an abrupt termination.
The Indians were pronounced full fledged citizens, and throiin
upon their own resources.
You are fully aware of their 'resources" after their valuable
timber had been removed.
""he, sum and substance of it all is that they have RTO RESOURCES,
and in times of need, become town charges according to the laws of our State,
I
which, in short, compels the few white settlers here to feed them, in case of
j need, pay their doctor bills when sick, and bury them when they die.
To more clearly define conditions, we beg to submit following
figures:
i 1n 1927 the tofal taxes levied in our to�,,in was �12,050.84. The
i
delinquent taxes were $4, 527.49.
There are fifty-two white families in our town upon which the
brunt of this burden falls.
The toal number of Indians on thi;reservation are about one
hundred and seventy-five.
The taxes derived from. all sources from the Indians on this
Reservation vras about $75.00.
i
If all of' this Indian land was in any manner made subject to tax-
ation, vie might derive some help to bear our burdens in their support.
In 1927 we gave594.1b out of our poor fund for their support and
their demand for aid seems to increase each year.
i
,11hile perhaps, it would be impossible to again place them under the
full care of our government, it might be possible through your good influence, to
I
get legislation, by ,�rhich a refund could b-e made, through the nearest Indian.
Agency, or, by any other method you may be able to work out, and tyre hereby respect-
fully beg of you to interest yourself in our behalf in this matter, that this un-
just burden to us be relieved.

`1'o the Honorable; 1, embers of the County Board: GREETINGS
I would like to report to you that I have enjoyed the co-operation you and the people
of this county have given me this year.
There are a few changes I have tried to make which I would Pike to explain to you,
and ask for your co-operation.
Acting upon advice from our State'Superintendent, Callahan, l have planned central-
ized examinations to be held in six central points of this county.
SPECIAL N ETING OF !111E BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
A. IL 24, 1 48.
"There are several advantages of holding examinations -for diplomas- at central points.
i
We consider that it is the only effective way to administer these examination for
p
the following reasons:
(1) The examination is much more standardized than when given by a larger variety
of people.
(2) It dignifies the work of the seventh and eighth grades and gives the children
a decided motive for high attainment.
(3) It enables teachers to compare their work with the rest of the county on a
purely impersonal basis.
(4) It prepares children for tests in secondary school or for competitive examin-
ations should they choose to try such.
i
(5) It enables.a county superintendent to get a closer and more accurate estimate
of a pupil's fitness for passing through watching them work during the examination
hours.
(6) It removes the temptation to give too much help to pupils from weak-kneed
teachers.
(7) It enables pupils to meet children from other schools and thus compare them-
selves with others and through this type of contact every one is given a broader
social outlook."
I
We hope you and your constituents will approve of this charge.
The County Declamatory Contests are now in full swing. We hope you have noticed i
some enthusiasm among the children of your community in this effort to improve
public speaking. j
The Final contest will be held in ':rashburr_, May 5, at the hex Theater. the Drummond
- I
Band will give several selections. We hope you and many people of your community
may attend.
Another new undertaking is the County -aural Commencement Day to be held at the
Ondossagon Schools in the Town of Barksdale, on June 2. , Some circulars will be
handed to you giving our plans for that day. re hope all parts of the County will
co-operate in making this a very helpful and an exceedingly worthwhile day.
Please do not hesitate to bring your school problems tome, as I am anxious to serve
you.
Sincerely,
Elsie M. Miller.
Co. Suet. of Bayfield County.
Motion eras made by Stuhlman and seconded by Yrs. Doyle that the foregoing
i
report be accepted and placed on file.
Motion was then made by Axness and duly seconded that the following
amendment be added to Mr. Stuh.lman s motion: "With exception: of Centralized Exam-
inations and Commencement Excercises, and that the County Board go on record as
:strictly opposed to such Centralized Excercises." Amendment carried.
Motion as amended was then presented to the hoard by the Chairman and

The following report was then read-.
REPOi2`C'??��OF �:�E7 E. F. DAITI'.� LS ON
F OR]-P,ST-?,.Y CONFERENCE
Mr. Chairman and ladies and gentlemen of the County -board, before going into
detail as to the question of the establishment of a U. 6.-Vorest Reserve in Bayfield
County, I: want to make a report to you of the Wisconsin Commercial Forestry Con-
ference which took place at T,Tilwaukee, 4+isconsin, on TVarch 28th and 29th, and which
I atiended at the request of your County Chairman, Mr. 0. M. Axness. This meeting
was promoted principally by T r. R. E. Goodman of Marinette, Wisconsin, and was
sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce of the UJnited .States and the iRilwaukee Assoc-
iation of Uommerce.
The purpose of this meeting, as 1 understood it, was to bring about a proper
understanding-of-!'orestry as a business, requiring a survey of the two million acres
of its original forests still remaining in the state and what the cutting of this
remaining forest will mean to the Pulp and Paper Industry, to the lumber and other
wood -using industries that.now give employment to more than one hundred thousand
wage earners`l `+=hat its passing will mean to the railroads, the resort owners, to the
highways of the forest regions, to the State's general industrial life, to its
water powers, to it newspapers, to the public generally, and to the State's finan-
cial structure.
The land and forest situation was handled by Agriculture and i"orest Specialists,
including Dean H. L. Russell, -Professor. B. H. Hibbard, Dr. Raphael. Zon and 'Vi. A
Duffy, who pointed out the remedies for the menace to the state that lies in its
gradually increasing idle and unproductive areas.
Having established the economic use of a general comr!,ercial forestry develope-
meat, the physical problems involved was analyzed by men qualified by their iN-
timate knowledge and experience. it was agreed that fire, prevention was the first
condition essential to the'-developement of Commercial -1-1'orestry. The questions of
what has been done, what needs to be done, how it should be done, and who should do
it, were then discussed one entire session, presided over by W. J. P. Aberg,
President of the Wisconsin Isaac TValton League.
The feature of this particular session was the talk by C. L. Harrington, Supt.
of the State r'orests and Parks, on the subject, "What is needed for a sorest Fire
Prevention and Suppression?" li reception was held in the fern Room of the New
Pfister Hotel at 6:30' P. 1J. Wednesday, Larch. 28th. Oscar l+stotzer was toastmaster,
address of Welcome by hon.Daniel vd,...Hoan, Yayor of Trilwaukee.
\ �, I1"tfir. Fred ld. Sargent director of U. S. Chamber of Commerce read a paper on
Commerce and --forestry.
Messages from Secretary W. IT. Jardine and Forest R. Y. Stewart was delivered
by assistant -Forester L. F. Thheipp of 'IVashington, D. C.
Governor Zimmermann smoke on "'A Glance ahead in Wisconsin Forestry," and made
a very good impression.
Glen. Frank, president of the University of Was.consin, spoke on the subject,
"The Importance of Yorests to the Social Welfare of usi"isconsin." There were five
hundred people at the three first sessions of the conference. The whole thing was
very interesting and instructive, but it dealt wholly with the questions of sire
Protection and Suppression and r'orestry from a purely Commercial stand point,

1 met our old frl!and, tNalter .Duffy, now commissioner OOLgriculture, who
was a member of this i3oard in 1018, and also represented .hayfield County in t1'1-e
Legislature. Duffy appeared to be very pleased, to welcome one from Bayfield County,
and when he got through introducing me to the :-_iedera,l men and the L'adison crowd,
they knet,a .3ayfield County was represented: at the "'orestry Conference.
A resolution was passed declaring the Conference a success, and directing
the .executive Committee to/on, ar�perfect a permanent organization.
Full records were made of the -Lorestry Conference, including all of the
s-.ee.ches and papers read. `Phis official pamphlet report was paid for and will be
sent fine as soon as they are ready for distribution, and i will then file it with
the,County Clerk.
:'his is about all I can say of the conference, except to say that it
was the. means of bringing me in personal contact with ''alter B. Duffy, the U. �.
Forest - ervice men from 'drashington, Deriver and -Duluth, and also Mr. harrington
of she State Conservation Commission.
With your permission i will now pass on to the subject of U. S. -' orest
ILeserves.
I first grant to call your attention to the serious conditions which not
only confront Bayfield County with re- to county owned lands and tax certificates,
but also several other northern, counties°

Washburn It 63, 000.00
Of the 52)217,000 which Bayfield County has invested in lends and tax
certificates probably 50% covers land that is absolutely worthless, except for the
growing/trees, and of the w107,000 balance, conservatively speaking, not more than
,$50,000 will be realized by redemptions or individual sales, so as the matter
for
stands now, Bayfield County can not expect a return of more than 50,000Aands and
certificates that has cost the County 8217,000'accepted in payment of County tax
from the different towns and cities, it can easily be seen that Bayfield County
has lost a lot of money in the process of eliminating these worthless lands from-
-the local tax rolls, but it has weathered the storm, and shown wonderful improve-
ment this year in 'the way of tax collections and bonifide redemptions. 'There is,
however, that ever present. danger that some one wdll come before the county board
at some future time with an offer to buy a large tract of thiE; wort} -Mess land at
a low price, simply as a speculative proposition, figuring to colon,�ze it -with

people from the cities, get a good payment down, continue to bet what they c:-an out ( .
of it, and not, pay any taxes. The different towns, of course, assess it at a
high price, as soon as. it is again placed on the -tax - roll-, the taxes ate not paid,
and are- turned over to the county in payment of the 1°own' s share of County 'fax.
This same yoroce:dure- goes on for f our.- years before the County can again take a tax
deed and retire: these lands from the tax. roll., and once again it has- cost the
County approximately a dollar an a cre to get them back w here they c an p t do any
more damage. In my judgment there is only one- safe, procedure, and that is to -
sell these worthless lands to the U. S. Government for -a CT. S. Forest Reserve,
providing we can do so, then we will be sure they are not going back on the tax
rolls of the different towns.
Within the last year 1 have given some thought and study to the'.
ques-tion of what we should do with these worthless lands, -and after some con-
siderab..le research and corresponding, 1 'concluded that it should be a i'orest
Reserve, either State or National, i mentioned it to Mr. P. J. Savage of Iron
River, and he expressed himself as being heartily in favor of it. 1 next talked
with Ole Axness, our County Chairman, and found that he had exactly the same
ideas as I had.
Vdhile in ',Kilwaukee I had a conference 1%rith L. .1". Kneipp,, assistant
Uf. S. Forester, Washington, D. C., and L. �7. Pinker, assistant District "orester
from Denver, Colorado. Mr. Kneipp had been here and made an investigation of
the proposed tract, and expressed himself as being very much in favor of this
tract for Forest lieserve purposes.
I want to read to you some newspaper, clippings on the subject
under discussion, and also a communication from E. VI. Tinker, assistant .Forester
from Denver, Colorado.

lJotion was made and duly seconded that the foregoing report be

should not be construed in any way binding or committing this Board to the sale of
