creek, a small stream about seven
miles from this city, has been
plentifully stocked with different
varieties Of trout by the state dur
ing the last few years, but has never
been possible for the sportsmen of
this vicinity to catch any of the
trout after they.had had a chance
to grow to maturity. It has been
supposed that large number of
Poles who reside in that vicinity
had been keeping themselves sup
piled from the stream, but it has
been so quietly done that the game
wardens have been unable to To-
cate the guilty parties. About
three weeks ago party of Ger
mans went out one Saturday night
with the sein and dip net to get
their share, and this aroused the
ire of the Poles to such an extent
that the game warden was notified
and swore out warrants for one of
the Germans who entered a plea of
guilty. Today another of the party
was arrested and paid fine of $25
and costs amounting to $10.68. He
says it was pretty dear days fish

Address of Welcome.
In his address of welcome, Mayor
Marriott of Baraboo, said he was
pleased to welcome any society and
especially one composed of farmers.
The mayor said he might infer that
the organization was composed
wholly of farmers if he did not know
that some of the Baraboo merchants
were mem ters. The mayor stated
that it had long been his desire to
own a good farm but if not for
tunate in this he had done business
with farmers for 35 years. He ad-
ded, II have seen the fine horse and
carriage you now drive take the
place of the old OK teams, the fine
farms and farm buildings that now
adorn our bluffs have been trans
formed from stone piles and bushes,
but the greatest of all is the
general prosperity of the farming
community and everything connect
ed with the farm.
The greatest advancement of all
is in the prosperity of the farming
community and everything connected
with the farm. Why is it so? The
politicians might say that it was
their particular dose of politics that
helped it but I want to say that in
my opinion it is your own farmers
societies that has helped you to the
position you now occupy. Que of

afterwards your own farmers clubs.

the fact that you not only advocate

MIR. Taylor Speaks.
While the convention awaited
the reports of the committees,
President Emmerson announced
that the convention would be ad-
dressed by G. Hayes Taylor of In.
dianapolis, secretary of the Nation
al Tobacco Growers Branch of the
A. S. of E.
Mr.. Taylor prefaced his address
by remarking that he was more
familiar with labor on the farm
than with public speaking, and ask
ed the forbearance of the conven-
tion for all vagarY of speech. He
then entered the subject of his ad-
dress and spoke at some length
with great detail.
He first pictured the position of
the dark tobacco growers of the
south before organization. They
were absolutely dependable upon
their tobacco for a livelihood, as
their farms would not produce
grain and grass proftably. But
the more tobacco they grew, the
lower the price, and the condition
of the growers became desperate.
They became deeply involved in OBJ
legation to the tobacco buyers and
as rule, they mortgaged their
crops even before they were plant
ed.
This deplorable condition was met
by organization. Fully 50 per cent
of the tobacco in some districts was
pooled by the growers. With their
crops safe in storage they found no
difficulty in securing loans to en-
able them to hold their crops until
shortage of the supply would
compel the buyers to pay better
prices. AS result, 10000 hogs
heads (or 3O,OOO,0O0 pounds) have
been sold through their society at
prices more than double the prices
offered by the buyers at the time
the crop was first made ready for
market. In 1903, good tobacco
