"A Madiso IN correspondent says of the
wheat outlook in Wisconsin:
No official returns have yet been received at
the Capitol as to acreage Of spring wheat in
Wisconsin this year, but men thoroughly in
formed on the agricultural situation in the State
positively assert that it is less than last season.
and that it is slowly but regularly decreasing in
proportion as animal husbandry and the con-
sequent increase i'll the corn and hay product
are on the ascendant. There was about 100000
acres sown in 1859, and this years acreage VIII
fall somewhat short of that figure. Seeding 1S
now under full Roadway, but is nearly q week
later than USUAL owing especially to the wet con-
dition of the land, though the continued mildly
of no inconsideTable force, but farmers are more
than satisfied with the outlook, despite these
somewhat adverse conditions They say thaU,
taken all in all, the prospects are fully 70 per
cent better in Wisconsin than was the case g.
year ago. The ground holds at the present time
more moisture than during any spring for some
years past, the subsoil being for the first time
in at least five years we'll mOistened. Even
though considerable of drought be expert
enced, crops will come through all right, owing
to the depth of the moisture now. The weather.
since April opened has been most favorable to
vegetation in general.
1t has BED tn ascertained that o law
exists empowering the Governor to fill
the office of State Insurance Commission
er in case of a vacancy, hence Philip
Cheek, the incumbent, will withdraw his
resignation. The Governor can appoint
men 10 every elective State Office except
those of Lie utenant Governor, Railroad
Commissioner, and Insurance Commits
sioner. The last two were made elective
ONLY nine wears ago, but at that time no
provision was made for filing them n the
event Of vaca ncies occurring. The dis
covery creates a sensation in political cir
cles.
