Sees the Country Growing Rich.

During the past week the editor of
this paper visited his old home at Viro-
qua and rode over many miles of the
tobacco-growing country surrounding.
Tobacco has enriched the farmers who
raise it and has been the principal cause
Of the growth Of Viroqua to city of
beautiful homes and commodious busi-
ness houses There is just as good
tobacco land surrounding Spring Green
as there is in Vernon county, yet but
few of the farmers in this vicinity have
given this crop a trial 1t is easily
worked, quickly grown, and the smaller
dairy farmer who could put in few
acres Of tobacco would find employment
between the morning aud evening milk

No. The farmers expect our dealers to
