PEA-CANNlNG SEASON ENDS.
New Way of Hauling Vines Adopted

This has been the most successful
season in the history of the pea canning
industry of this county. Both the Man
itowoc Pea Packing company and the
Albert Landreth company wound up
the season Saturday.
While the first crop was n partial
failure, owing to heavy rains which
flooded out several large districts. the
second crop was such that the total
output exceeded that of any previous
year. The pea louse made its appear
ance too late this year to do any con
siderable damage. A new way of trans
porting the vines was adopted, The
loads We're pnt aboard Northwestern
trains whenever the line ran past large
pea fields and the pea trains ran into
the city every day.
On Aug. 9Th the Landreth company
pnt up over quarter of a million cans
of peas. This beats the records of all
past years in the canning industry of
this county. The Landreth company
has branches ut Newton, Grimms ana
Branch.

Saturday even ng Il special meeting of
Joint school district No. | was held in
the Mishcot school house, for the pur-
pose of considering the question of erect
ing new school huilding. Ex Superin-
tendent Christensen was present and
made brief address in the interest of
the education of the boys and girls of
Mishcot. After lively discussion it
was decided to erect a new school house,
and II tax not to exceed g. 900. was
voted for that purpose. This sum will
be amply sufficient for the erection of
good, sanitary, substantial, up.to-date
three-room school building. Such
structure is needed at Mishcot The
district has outgrown Il two room build
ing and the old school house has out
lived its usefulness. The enrolment in
the two departments during the past
school year Was about 100, while tho
average attendance at each of the two
departments was abont 81. This necessi
tated the placing of four grades the
fifth, sixth. seventh and eighth in the
upper department, Such over crowding
in the number of classes in one room
does not permit of giving sufficient time
for effective work in all the branches of
the course of stndy, no matter how sys-
teinatic the work, and how efficient the
teacher may be- Too many classes in
one department is always wasteful of
much time ana energy on the part of
both teacher and pupils.
Now that u new building il to he
erected, all these things should he taken
into consideration. To put up an mp
to date, three room structure ia to save
money to the taxpayers of the district
in the long run; for the remodelng of
school house is always an expensive
undertaking. The putting up of two
room bnilding now would necessitate
the erection of IN addition within u
few years And the building of addi-
tions is invariably found to be waste
of money. Let this matter he fully
considered before the work of construc
tion is begun
