The county assessors have been in ses-
sion in Denver this week. Among the
first action taken was a resolution ap-
proving bill introduced by Representa-
tive Morris to submit an amendment tc
the constitution to permit an exemption
of 5000 on all personal property of what
ever kind to every taxpayer, instead ot
an exemption on household goods only
as now provided by law; The present
law. the assessors say. works hardship
on large class of people. especially
those OF small means.

Two weeks ago Ed Willard asked T
j. Douglas what he would take for his
Patterson Valley farm. Mr.. Douglas did
not want to SELL but said $1,000 for the
| 80 acres. thinking that the price would
at once shut off all chance for sale
But Mr.. Willard promptly accepted the
offer. In closing up the deal there was a
difference of Sl.5o in regard to
interest and this small sum spoiled a
$1,000 trade, much to Mr.. Douglas sat
isfaction.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-07-03

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, who so infinitely
told of the May floods and disasters in
his publication, Word and Works. says
that July will open with a storm per
turbation central on the 1st and extend
ing up to the 10th. This does not sig
Nifty that storms will prevail all the time,
but indicates noticeable tendency to
ClOudiness with nasty, drizzling weather
in many parts of the country. Very
warm, muggy weather during these dis
turbances but probable change to
cooler will pass over the country be-
tween 4th to 7th. The second storm
period covers the 7th to 18th, being cen
trail on the 9th, the date of full moon,
this period also being with the Mercury
brace. Falling barometer, growing
warmth and increasing cloudiness and
humidity will mark the first days of this
period, progressively from west to east
and from about the 9th to 18th decided
storm areas will organize and pass east
ward across the country. Thunder
storms, with wind md rain, will strike
many localities during the progress of
these storm conditions. A regular storm
period is central on the goth, extending
its influence from about the 18th to 23rd
normally. On and touching the 9th
many active electrical storms are more
than probable, Any careful observer
may soon satisfy himself that increase in
temperature, as a rule, attends the con-
junction Of Sun, Earth and Moon, also
that the passage of the moon over the
celestial equator brings increased
warmth and electrical disturbances.
AS to the general outlook for July, we
do not forecast a superabundance OF
rainfall. The drouth conditions which
have prevailed in the New England sec
ton and parts of Canada, we fear will
work by long strides into the interior
parts of the continent; but it will take
two to three years for it to reach max
imum and run it's course in this country.
Some eastern to northern parts of our
great agricultural regions will feel a
pinch of dryness in July and August,
and most other sections will have little
moisture to waste. But by wise and
prompt methods Of care and culture, we
predict fair seasonable conditions.
We will venture to say that the aut-
umn will be favorable to late planted
crops, and that we believe the losses OF
flood regions may largely be made up by
all who can possibly replant their lands
with corn and other suitable crops. But
it goes without saying that prompt
action, and wise and vigorous planning
and work are necessary.

Telephone Weather Reports.

Our local telephone company has just
completed arrangements with Mr.. W. 81.
Wilson, who has charge of the u. S.
weather bureau at Milwaukee, to tele-
graph the official weather forecast for
Wisconsin each morning to the telephone
exchange for the benefit Of the farmers,
shippers, and others connected with the
exchange.
The forecasts are made up from OBJ
servations taken at about $50 stations
scattered throughout the United States
and Canada, and show the kind Of
weather to be expected. A special warn
ing will be telegraphed in addition to
the regular forecast when severe frosts,
cold waves, sleet or heavy snow storms
are expected. The regular forecast will
come in at about 10 a. m. each day. The
telephone company has arranged to give
all Of it's subscribers the benefit of these
forecasts, and the operator at the CEN
trail office has been instructed to furnish
the information to anyone who will call
for it.
The farmers will undoubtedly appre-
ciate this up-tO date action on the part
of the telephone company, especially
during the haying season, as it will en-
able them to get the opinion OF the
weather bureau official on the weather
conditions for the next SO hours in less
than two hours after he has completed
the study OF the morning weather map.
1t may be said that the weather bureau
does not claim to be able to give an alb
solutely accurate forecast every time,
but it's forecasts are verified about IS
times in every 100, and the percentage
of accuracy is steadily increasing.
The government spends about one
million dollars annually in maintaining
this service, and considers the money
we'll spent A few years ago the warn
ings of three storms which passed up the
Atlantic coast within few weeks of
each other saved property valued at an
amount sufficient to maintain the wealth
er service for over twenty years. Its
value to marine interests is we'll under
stood and shippers of perishable goods
take no chances when a cold wave warn
ing is issued. Heretofore the farmers
have not been able to make very prac-
tical use of the information but the ex-
tension of the telephone lines to the
formers home practically solves the
problem.

up the matter and establish such a
