This has been an exceptionally
prosperous year in agricultural pur-
suits. Crops are fine and prices
are good. Everybody who wanted
to work has had the opportunity,
and at good wages. In fact it has
been difficult to get men enough to
perform the work planned. There
has been considerable of an emigra-
ton west from this section within
the past two years. Some have
taken land and others have gone to
the numbering regions of Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, where
many of the great numbering COM
panies that formerly operated in
Wisconsin and Minnesota have
bought timber and erected and are
operating mills.

Our One Poisonous Vine.

The wanderers afieId in these de-
Iightful autumn days should not forget
that there is a vine to be avoided. We
call il poison oak. but in many parts
of the country it is called poison ivy"
All the states have it. and there is nc
vine more beautiful. especially in the
autumn. 1t closely resembles the Nir-
ginia creeper, but poison oak belongs
to the cashew family. while the harm
less Virginia creeper belongs to the
vitaceae family. While they resemble
each other in appearance, yet they car
readily be differentiated, because the
creeper's leaves grow in fves, while
those of poison oak are in threes. Dc
not forget this simple rule. There are
other differences, but this one is quite
enough for defensive purposes.
