ALL MEMBERS SHOULD ATTEND.
Special Meeting Of Agricultural Society to Consider
New Building Project.

On Wednesday of next week, Feb
ruary 4th, an adjourned session of mem
bers of the county agricultural society
will be held at the city hall in Viroqua,
at one o'clock p. m. The purpose of the
meeting is set forth in the following
resolution, adopted at the late regular
meeting, as follows:
Be it Resolved, by the Vernon County Ag-
ricultural Society. that the president, seere-
tary and treasurer of the society be, and they
hereby are requested to secure plans and
specifications for the erection of an agricul-
tural forai and fine art hall to he erected on
the sight OF the old building on the fair
grounds, said building not to cost to exceed
SI500, and report the same to this society at
an adjourned meeting to be hel, in the city
hall In ViroQua, on the first Wednesday in
February 1908, at 1880 p. m being the fourth
day thereof.
It is important that all members of
the society be present and participate
in the proceedings. 1t will be gather
ing of concern. That the society is
sorely in need of more suitable build
ings goes without dispute. With inn
proved conditions the CENSOR believes
interest will advance and the necessary
expense will be warranted. While we
do not believe in extravaganza or Jump
ing unnecessarily into debt, the age of
improvement should prompt us to better
things. Renewed activity will pay
present indebtedness of the society and
justify much needed improvements.
Every member of the association
should be present and have his say.

ltfom the In Crosse Chronicle OF Thursday.l
Ire La Crosse & Southeas, err railway
company hss awarded Collins s O., Of
Chicago contract for the constro, O, of
the road from this city TO Viroana. II
Is understood that the company has -.
cured an option on the southwes .rn

occupied by the livery stahie. whers, i's
new depot will in all probability he
built. The options en- the property ere
secured yesterday and the officers Of ,be
company are not inclined to give ont fhe
full fact regarding the project
The two moves now taken by the
company are regarded as very import-
ant ones and it will mean that the = ,a,a
will be in course OF construction hv
about the first of April. 1t could not be
learned just what the contract price was
but tbs letting will insure no further
delay in the building of the road. This
will also mean big demand for men in
this vicinity during tt summer as il is
the intention of the company to have
the road as near complete as possible by
fall.

On most of the roads coming to Viro-
qua tobacco laden vehicles assume th.
aspect of procession. Large aumbers
OF teams are every hour awaiting their
turn to unload at the different houses
or cars.
John Norris crop brought him some

The question is often asked, how long
can tobacco be grown on the same soil
withodt exhausting its fertility? The
anewer would depend somewhat unon
circumstances. Wisconsin has been
growing tobacco as an extensive cron
only about 20 years and yet there are
farms where the same field has nro
duced tobacco for 30 consecutive years.
A certain 1G acre plot is one of these
and the late crops are as fine in every
respect ans, bring as renumeratiye
prices as any during these series of
years. The New England Tobacco
Grower states that a South Windsor
grower, Mr., Signor, has raised tobacco
every season for the last 54 years, or
since he took charge of the place. and
states that he was informed by neigh
bors that tobacco had been grown on
that place for % years before his arriy.
al. making q total of abont 70 years that
tobacco had been grown on that same
land, and from the appearance cf the
crop that has been harvested during the
past season, the land is still capable Of
producing fine grade of tobacco.
