The Department Of Agriculture
has issued a circular creative to an
investigation as to the adulteratiou
of orchard grass, blue grass, clover
and alfalfa seed. The department
gathered seed FROM all parts of the
United States, buying il in the
open market. and of the seed ex-
amined about one-third was found
to be adulterated. The degree of
adulteration varied from 10 per
cent. to 70 per cent. The names
of upward OF 100 firms which the
department alleges are selling the
adulterated seeds are printed in the
circular. 1t is estimated that 700,
600 pounds Canadian blue grass
seed are annually imported into the
United States and mixed with the
Kentucky blue grass and sold as
the latter. A similar amount of
trefoil is imported from England
mixed with alfalfa seeds and sold at
a corresponding advance, says the
circular,
The following crop bulletin has
been issued by the department of
Agriculture for Kentucky: The
weather being mild during the en-
tire month, all wi inter- growing
crops made fine progress. and at
the end of the month were green
and in promising condition.
Wheat, rye, oats and grass never
looked better at this time of year,
and while there was some damage
10 these from alternate freezing and
thawing, the damage is of small
Importance. There was fortunate
ly no severely cold weather, as the
ground was practically without
snow covering the whole of the
month. The warm weather caused
an extensive budding of the fruit
trees, especially peaches, and of
rose bushes. While fruit trees
were uninjured at the end of the
mOnth,ye they were SO much ad
vanced that exposure to much cold
weather later would no doubt re-
suit seriously. Stock genererally
is in fine condition and feed and
water plentiful. Excellent prog
ress was made in farm work and
some blowing for hemp and corn
accomplished.

ATTENDING CONVENTIONS.

&. d. Jones departed yesterday for
Madison, where he will meet w. j..
Starr, of Eau Claire; Geo w. Lewis, of
Madison; Chris. Ellingson, of Clark
county; w. II. Mylrea, of this city, and
possibly others who are interested in a
matter which is to be brought to the at
tention of the four political parties
which are holding platform conventions
this afternoon. These gentlemen, as
members of the Wisconsin Immigra-
ton and Development association, will
go before each convention and use their
efforts to have each party support, eth
er by plank or by resolution, PROPOSE
tion to establish a bureau of immigra-
tion and industries, to be created by
legislative act. Other states have such
bureaus anu are reaping the benefits
therefrom. Wisconsin is lying idle and
the flow of immigration is passing to
other states. About the only develop
ment in Wisconsin, at present is in
natural way which comes from our
natural increase in population. There
is little doubt but what these gentle
mems efforts will be successful for no
party can reasonably ignore the propo-
sition.

ARE IN MADISON.

Candidates W. w. Albers, Otto
Muenchow, Nicholas Schmidt, A. E.
Beebee and Aug + Marquardt and
II. III. Manson, chairman of the demo
cratic state central committee and
assistant, W. c. Brawley are in Madi-
son attending the platform con-
ventions of their respective parties.
The conventions are in session this
afternoon and ali business will
most likely be finished up this even
ing. Under the primary law the
candidates must meet and make their
platform and this will be part of the
business this afternoon for the republi-
cans. The democrats will probably re-
affirm the platform adopted at the plat
form convention held by that party
early in the summer. Each party must
also elect state central committee and
a chairman and secretary, and the pre-
vailing opinion is that II. H. Manson
will be re-eiected as the head of the
democratic committee. w ID. Connor
being candidate for office on the
republican ticket will necessarily have
to be succeeded by some one else.
The four parties meet in the capitol
building, the democrats occupying the
senate chamber.

IMPORTANT MEETING.

There was quite an important meet
ing held in Wausau last week, at the
Bells house. 1t shows that the men
engaged in the working out of the
project, chow to best control the waters
of the Wisconsin river so that they will
benefit all who own water powers) are
greatly in earnest. The men present
were; L. M Alexander, of Milwaukee;
Geo. Whiting, of Necedah; L E. Nash
and B. r. Goggins, of Grand Rapids;
A. H. Reid of Merrill and j HI. Tweedy,
of Tomahawk, besides there are quite
number who are interested from this
city.
The aim of those interested at this
time is to frame bill that will be ac-
ceptable to the people of Wisconsin, to
be presented at the coming session of the
legislature There is no denying the
fact but what reservoirs, properly con-
structed, at suitable places in Northern
Wisconsin, can be established that will
easily control the waters of the Wis
consin river and add vastly to its
water powers.

WORK STARTED.

Geo. Cater, who has the contract for
installing the city's drive well system,
set up his machinery last week and on
Saturday afternoon began the work OF
driving the wells. With favorable
weather the system will be made COM
plete this fall. The wells will be driven
in the territory west and north of the
old well and as soon as convenient the
city will put a force of men at work
connecting them with the latter. 1t is
hardly likely that any work will be
done on the extension to East hill this
year. Pipe for the latter job, which
should have been here last June is
just beginning to arrive and whether
or not sufficient supply will be
received this fall, is an uncertainty.
Ifhis delay has held up the work.
Otherwise it would have been started
months ago. 1t will probably be
started by early summer next year,
whether a site for the East hill reser-
voir has been settled or not, if it has
not been in the meantime.

SUM MER OVER.

Last Sunday was the last day of the
summer. According to the almanac,
the summer solstice ended and the au-
tumnal equinox began when the sun
crossed the equator in its southwark
movement, September % at p. M,
Washington time.
According to the difference in time,
this change of the seasons took effect
at seven o'clock in the evening in this
section of the country. This is to say
that Wausau had about two days more
of genuine summer, before the calendar
fall set in.
The summer has been one of eonsid
cradle warmth, taken as whole, for
the average high temperature of Sep
tember has done much to bring up the
general average for the hot months.
Wausau people have been hoping for a
long time for cessation of the heat of
the summer. But it will not be sur
prising if the next two or three weeks
see still more of the warm weather and
the frosts are delayed for that length of
time.
The days of this time are just about
average, being midway between the
longest and shortest days. This, too,
is reckoned on the basis of the division
in the almanac The shortest day
comes in December, and the longest is
in June, these two periods being
marked by the passing of the sun over
the tropics, south and north
Properly speaking, the sun does not
cross the equator or the tropics at all,
it being the earth which does the NOV
ing from north to south and from south
to north with regard to the fixed posi-
ton of the sun. In June the earth
reaches that place in its orbit where il
is closer to the sun than at any other
period of the year, while in December
the condition is exactly the reverse, the
earth being farthest away from the sun
in its orbit

TO THE STEVENS POINT FAIR.

Last Thursday party of our ladies
Stevens Point and spend the day at the
fair which was then in progress. They
calculated that the weather was going
to be la Wausau fair weather. and
the automobiles would make the trip
without anything happening to them
In this they reckoned wrongfully, for
the rain came down in torrents and
one of the machines was in more or less
distress all the time. The party Sc
cured two large automobiles and drivers
from the Levenhagen garage and start
ed early in the morning, hoping to
reach the Point in few hours; instead,
they did not reach that city until nearly
time for superior account of acci-
dents and rain. They had to remain
all night and started the next morning
on the return trip. One of the ma
chimes arrived here about two o'clock
and the other just before the supper
hour. Like the previous day the rain
at times fell in torrents. The following
named ladies took the trip: Mesdames
