Notwithstanding that the past farming
season in Wisconsin was disastrous one
with respect to the corn crop, perhaps
less than 80 per cent of that produce
raised in the State being of such quail
ity as to be considered understandable,
the season was favorable one to farm
ers. This is the conclusion reached by
John NJ. True, secretary of the State
Board Of Agriculture in his revised crop
report, which he has just issued. Accord
ing to the report there were S,l5o,0OO
acres of the twelve leading crops
wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, buckwheat,
faxseed, potatoes, beans, peas, tobacco
and tame hay-raised in the State in the
season of 1902. The aggregate value OF
the crops raised on this area, as estimat-
ed by Secretary True, is $97, 794, 500. The
following are the estimates of yield per
acre of the various farm crops OF the
State:

Reclaim Marsh Land.

A big drainage project is being formu-
lated to drain several hundred acres Of
marsh land along the Fox river in the
vicinity of Buffalo lake, a distance of
five miles. The farmers on the south
side of the lake, near Montello, have en-
gagged a civil engineer and are having a
preliminary survey made. At present
there are hundreds of acres of swamp
lands along this line that are practically
worthless. If the contemplated drainage
system can be completed and put into
operation all this land can be made pro-
ductive, and it's selling price can be in

Though most of tie civilized world has
enjoyed a continuance of the reign Of mu-
tual prosperity which began in 1901, it
lis undeniabe that the year 1902 has
made woful record III the way Of dis
Iaster and destruction of human life. The
ierupton Of Mount Pelee, Martinique,
May s, may be given pre-eminence us
the most disastrous occurrence of several
decades, and its destructive work was
supplemented by many costly conliagra-
itions, especially during the early months
of the year, and a number of deadly ex-
iplosions.
Many noted persons have passed into

ed King Of England, after a delay of sew
eral weeks beyond the date originally ap-
pointed, on account of a necessary sur

has witnessed the ending of the Boer
war in South Africa, and the beginning
of an international disagreement in
which Venezuela, South Africa, is the
storm center; during its last month that
great engineering work, the Nile dam
at Assouan, has been opened; it has given
Cuba its first President under the new
regime; and will be remembered also as
fhe year during which occurred the eN-
tensive labor troubles in the PenusylYa-

Quences of which we are not yet relieved.
