What the Figures Show.

A summary of the real estate transfers
of the year has been compiled and pub
lished for the use of the assessment COM
mittee of the county board. AS COM
pared with the statement made year
ago, there is very material increase in
the price of lots and lands in the county
1t gives detailed statement of all the
lots sold in the county, and also all the
acreage property that has been disposed
of, as we'll as the transfer price and also
the assessed valuation. The report
shows to the people in many ways that
there is bad policy being followed out
| in the matter of assessments in the
county, and that some of the assessors
make their figures much closer to actual
| value than others.
The report shows that during the year
there were 1885 lots sold in the county,
and that the total price paid was 81 49,
| 999.20, and that the assessed valuation
was $751; 10000. The average selling
price was S64875 per lot and the average
| assessed price per lot was S463.5O.
| Beloit leads in the number of lots sold
during the year, and the report shows
that 1,0O9 lots in that city were sold, at
consideration of $40, 1865. These
same lots were returned by the assessors
at S339, 5000
In the sale Of acreage property in the
county there appears the same discrep-
ancy in the matter of assessment as hap
| pens in the cities. ana some of the towns
assess very close to the selling price
| while others are way be 'ow, and some
get but just about half what the average
| selling price has been. During the year
there were 26,636 acres of Rock county
| land recorded as being sold and the total
consideration as recorded in the deeds
was S1,612, 1905. The average of the
assessed valuation of the lands appears
to have been 81 ,14S, 84l.0O, and the aver
age selling price of the land was $50 So
per acre, and the assessment average per
| acre was S43.l3.
| In comparison with the business of
| 1901 it shows that about 500 more lots
were sold this year than last and the
consideration in deeds shows an increase
| of nearly 100000. The average selling
price of lots this year is somewhat below
| that of last year, but the average assess
| ed valuation is considerably increased.
| In acreage property there were nearly
| 300 more acres sold this year than last,
and the average selling price per acre
shows an increase of over 81 per acre.
and the assessed valuation per acre
shows an increase of about 100 per cent.
This shows that the assessors in the
towns are complying nearer to the laws
of assessment than they are in the cities,
for the average increase in the latter has
been but about 80 per cent, while the
town will show up nearer 80 per cent. in
| crease.

Hicks, Forecast For October.

October will begin with reactionary
storms of rain and possibly snow to the
north, passing eastwardly over the coun-
try. New moon on the 1st will cause
higher temperature, with electrical
storms, high tides and probably seismic
disturbances on and touching that date.
but cold gales from the northwest with
rising barometer will follow quickly.
During the Vulcan storm period, 4th to
9th, the weather will grow decidedly
warmer, beginning in western parts and
moving eastward, the barometer will fall
at the same time, and cloudiness and
rain will follow. Storms of this period
promise to be general and severe, with
great probability of wintry aspects in all
northerly directions. Snow with heavy
sleet are entirely probable, followed by
high barometer and cold The Mercury
period is central on the 10th and contin-
ues to the 10th, and this fact blended
with others will cause unsettled, stormy
weather, perhaps, outside of the regular
periods. Much cloudiness with drizzle
and sleet are results to be expected dur
ing much of the Mercury period. A rise
in temperature and rain and snow storms
of increased extent and energy will be
boGuI al vi duO IAC 1ACu ouO
18th. The Vulcan storm period, 10Th to
Goth, promises severe and dangerous au
tumnal storms over the great lake re-
gion and north Atlantic disastrous to
shipping and life. Rain, snow and sleet
will visit the interior sections and big
October cold wave will wind up the per-
iod. Reaction to. much warmer, with
falling barometer and more rain, turn
ing to snow northward, will be natural
results on and touching the 23rd and
Oath. All these October periods will end
in more or less storminess with stiff,
cold gales over the great lakes and the
northwest generally. By the middle of
the month the boreal waves and frosts
will reach quite to the gulf regions. The
last five days of the month are covered
by regular storm period, blended with
the Venus disturbance as its center, with
Moon on the celestial equator on the
9th and new again on the 31st

general appearance is as fine as that of a
silk handkerchief, the body of the leaf
being very thin. The color is also very
good and on the whole the tobacco gives
promise of being the best wrapper leaf.

Owing to a limited appropriation for
holding farmers Institutes and also to
a press of work at the agricultural
college and experiment station, it will
not be possible to hold many institute
meetings this season. The number
held in the district south of and on the
main line of the Northern Pacific rail-
road will probably be limited to eight
towns, and those north of it to about
the same number. 1t is the desire of
the management to hold meetings
where they will do the most good, that
is where it is evident that there will
be a good interest and a large attend
ance. Z
In selecting the places at which
meetings will be held. three points
will be particularly taken into consid-
GRAFTON, viz: Time at which the appli-
cation for an institute is made, whether
an institute has been held at the i'm
mediate point recently and the degree
of interest and activity which the APP
plying town shows in the matter CT
providing for thorough advertising
and for a suitable place to hold the
meetings. The force of institute
workers will be larger and better
equipped with chart than they have
ever been before, all of which indicate
that high grade of institute work is
assured. The Institute Annual for
1902 will be ready for distribution, and
this valuable book containing all of
the best material brought out last year
will at least be given to each person
who attends the first meeting of the
sessions held in each town.
Several applications for Institutes
are already on file and the indications
are that the demand for meetings will
be twice as great az a be supplied. j
The sessions in the district south of
the Northern Pacific railroad will be
held during December. those north of
that line during January and February.
l trust that those desiring institute
meetings will apply early in order that
they may not be disappointed by find
ing that they are too late, and also to
aid the management in making up a
schedule. In order to save time and
transportation expenses. a continuous
route must be arranged for the CORPS
of institute speakers.
