PICTURE OF vIRoQUAs NEW HIGH SCHOOL,


Che few foreign buyers who have been
riding in the tobacco sections of the
county have practically withdrawn, and
we are advised also that local handlers
are making 10 effort TO do business on
the new crop. Why this is so we know
not. Buyers SAY farmers will be obliged
20 "c3me off their high horse"
prices. Whether or not those buyers
who have been operating here have paid
more than the market and conditions
warrant, we have no knowledge OF
oae thug there seems no douht that
there will be plenty OF demand for every
pound of good tobacco grown in Vernon
county Ia commenting the Bdgerton
Tobacco Reporter says
The territory embraced ia the Vernon
county section. Crawford aud Vernon
counties. is producing about s, 600 acres
of tobacco this season, which under the
present prospects is due to Weld about
35, ,001 cases of cured leaf. The amount
sold to date therefore has but barely
made a commencement in the crop.
The valley tobacco which in other
years has been largely sought after Is
reported to he scarcely mp TO the stand
ard this year ne To the heavy floods of
a wet season which washed away a
good many fields The crop generally
throughout this section is late4 than in
the lower districts ana has no advantage
of it in size Of leaf A comparison of
the quality of the leaf can be determined
later after the tobacco is more thorough
ly cured.

FROST CAUGHT CORN AND TOBACCO NOT

Thursday and Friday Night Freezes are Bad on the
Farmers.-About one Eighth me Tobacco Acre

Vernon county agricuiturists are
he syy losers lay the severe frost that
came to this region ON Thursday ANA
Friday nights last 1t is difficult TO
make ANYTHING of fair estimate of the
dan age either On corn or tObsccp Doth
of Va aich were badly frozen. In fact il
does not appear that in many Localities
auy of the latter crop went through the
last nights freeze and escaped Gestruc-
tion. How badly the corn crop is dam-
aged is guess work. In SOME nigh To-
eslities il is little injured. but IN the
valleys and low lands there is little TO
be saved. There are few fields of corn
that had passed the stage of good roast
ing ears. and of course wherever frost
olighted s,hsh it will be of small use eX-
cept for graen feed. The corn crop is
one of the substantial liances for Yer
non count1 From it the immepce
droves of hogs and cattle are fitted for
market, and it's loss. even though par
tiaI, will be keenly felt
Although the lcss In tobacco IS con-
siderable, yet there ia today more and
better tobacco in the houses OF Vernon
county farmers than ever before in one
year. We should judge that fair esti-
mate of the loss is one-eighth of the en-
tire crop. The heavy increase ia acre
age was in most cases provided for by
extra seed room, and the real trouble
came from the unusual growth which
left many short of space notwi5hstand-
ing the larger accommodations provited
for. Then, again, It was impossible for
many to secure sufficient lath to meet
the two extraordinary conditions Of
acreage and great growth. But for en-
forced waiting nearly the entire crop |
would have been shielded. The cases |
are exceptional where farmers were not !
disappointed from one day to week |
waiting for lath. A very good per cent |
of farmers had completed their har-
vests, while another class had from an |
eighth to half acre standing. Still |
others, although few, were caught with |
fnnr or five acres ont.

A Street Tempsrapes Lecturer

II seems as though Mr. J, NJ Powell
had occasion, and we presume be had,
TO lecture young man for spending his
money foolishly. The young man said
If was ''nobody's business how he spent
his money. Mr. Powell told him he was
not saving anything to make home for
bis wife and children and that when he
died of delirium tremens or went to the
asylum. then the superintendent of our
state school would come and take his
children to that institution and that
would mean every man and woman who
pays q tax has to help to support them.
Why is it ''noDody's business how a
young man spends his money!
