DEMOCRATS.
Mr. Lodge-They have not filed them with

Of appointments from those states are demo

because the charge has been always made that
this Law was administered under republican
democratic administrations for democrats. Il
has been determined in that regard that there
is no character Of partisan politics influencing
its actions, and that there 10 an honest way to
administer 1t.
Mr.. Chairman, believe that the great BODY
of the people OF this country want to see the
routine Offices properly filed and administered,
and they care very little Tor the party politics

Farmers 10 this state and the entire
country over. have harvested one OF the
largest and beat crops Of corn on record
The reports OF farmers TO the board OF sgri
culture crop bulletins gave the sres plant
d rs larger than usual; the season has been
favorable for it's growth. while the bot aud
dry weather OF the autumn has ripened II
in the highest perfection. There is pros.
perity in . good crop OF corn. Wherever
found one may safely conclude there is
successful farmer TO go with 1t. Somehow
this crop carries with II q greater measure
Of value than at first sppesrs. 1t gives
large measure Of grain feed that is needed
by every farmer. and must be had from
some source. With this it furnishes
larger yield Of valusble stock fodder than
any other crop grown on our farms. And
after this, and above Ill, 1t leaves the fields
on which il Is grown in the best OF condi
ton for following crops. Neither Is 1t .
costly crop TO produce. With modern ap.
plisnces, and kuo Wedge Of how and wheo
10 use them. the labor cost OF the crop
need not be more than $40 or Sl2 az acre
With crop so valuable. then, and pro
duced at 80 small cost, u is easily seen
why prosperity and 8 good corn crop go
hand 10 hsnd. It is the great crop for the
stock farmer. 4
The increased attention given to this
crop by the farmers Of the state is encour
aging, but they should grow still more OF
it. In place OF the acres OF light grass
should be fields OF growing corn, Under
the old methods OF work, formers supposed
they could handle a few acres. such an
dea is now out Of date. and the corn fields
may be broadened accordingly The two
acres should be gradually extended to hve'
and the five to ten. All that is wanted u
the enterprise that goes to work as il i
meant business.

WEEKLY WeArneR euLLErlN.

WEEK ENDING SATURDAY SEPT. 10.
Bulletin No. %. The heat of the past
week has pretty well matured all the
corn left by the frost and drought, in
fact it has added several per cent to the
value of the crop, and it will realize
fully one half an average crop-more in
some parts of the state and less in
others Much was cut up for fiddler in
the central and northwest part of the
state, after the frosts OF the latter part
of August and the first part of Septem-
Der. Now the cutting of ripe corn is
the order of the day over most of the
state. Some fields are being left for a
few more days to harden. 1t is out of
danger from further harm by frost.
Beneficial showers have occurred over
the northern half of the state, and put
the ground in much better condition for
seeding and blowing. In the south halt
of the state no rain has fallen, and the
ground is too dry for blowing and seed
ing to be satisfactory however, a
large acreage of wheat and rye seems
to be going IN. In some places where
rain has fallen winter wheat is already
out of the ground.
There is practically no pasturage in
the southern half of the state, and stock
is thin, milk short, and foddering
general
Tobacco is all in the house and is a
good crop in all respects.
Cranberry picking is being rapidly
pushed to completion; of course the
crop is very light one.
At the present writing no cold weather
is in sight. A low pressure area is cen
trail in The Dakotas which will probably
pass over Wisconsin during Sunday,
causing con ,inuation of heat. 1t may
cause some showers. but that is difficult
to determine at present.
Advices received today still further
confirm the statement made in last
weeks bulletin that the potato crop
would not be excessive. The total
yield of the state will only be fair
probably slightly below the average.

The most interesting new feature of
the Fair was the Evolutionary Contest
under charge of County Superintendent
Needham. The object is to stimulate
interest in grafton, defamation and es-
say in the schools of the county. Two
classes were inaugurated, A-Free high
schools, and B-Common Schools; priz
es in each were So, Sc, 81, for 1st. I'd
and Sd places. Being the first event of
the kind unusual interest was aroused
and the classes well filled. giving some
indication of the proportions to which it
may reach in the future.
The contest came off at 10 o'clock
Friday forenoon. In the high school
class were three contestants: Scott
Witherbee of Cassville. Henry Anstey
of Bloomington and Miss Sylvia Wheel
er of the Lancaster high school. The
common schools were represented by:
Elva Holford of Bloomington, Effie
Roberts of Patch Grove, Flossie Bradley
and Ida Bradley of Ellenboro. Walter
Burns and Nettie Hayden of Beetown.
and Roy Clifton Of Lancaster.
Miss Wheeler took the first premium
on recitation. Scott Witherbee re-
ceived second on a defamation. Henry
Anstey receIyed third. All did credit
to themselves and the schools which they
represented The common school rep
resentation was good and received mer-
tied applause for their effort. The
premiums were divided as follows:
Elva Holford first. Flossie Bradley sec
ond and Eflie Roberts third. The
speaking took place bsfore the grand
stand, and a large audience was pres
emit. The judges were Miss Harrison
teacher in the Lancaster high school,
