COMPETE IN
6=DAY RACE

Iver Lawson, who in past ears has been
Frank Kramer's most formidable rival for
the sprinting championship Of America,
will ride in the six-day race at Madison
Square Garden, New York, next week.
The entry of the Mormon City eyelist

A dozen of the six-day riders gathered
at Woelfe's Hotel. Central avenue and
Twelfth street. this city, yesterday after
noon. Besides the foreigners present there
were John Bedell, Floyd Krebs, Willie
Fem and several others. Bedell has not
yet signed to ride and will not, he says,

race. meets his terms. Krebs will I'M
doubtedly compete, but has not yet landed
a partner. while Fem will ride only in the
special races Saturday night. No six-day

FARMERS PROFITS ARE GREAT.
Phenomenal Prices Received by the
Wisconsin Tobacco Growers.

Madison.-The year just closed will
pass into history as the most pros
porous one ever experienced by the
growers Of tobacco in Wisconsin, says
the Tobacco Reporter. Whatever
there is in store in the future for the
dealers who now practically own the
1906 crop-whether il earns them a
profit or a loss-need not concern the
farmer, for his position is secure. He
is already counting his profit, and it
amounts to something phenomenal
when viewed in the light Of recent sta
tistics regarding the acreage, yield
and price paid the producer. 1t is gen
orally conceded that the 1906 crop
amounted close to 10000 acres, yield
ing ,275 pounds to the acre, while the
average price paid growers is given at
1870 cents by the government report.
In other words the gross receipts Of
each acre would amount to $l72.12. De
Quoting the cost of raising which un-
der the most conservative estimates
can not exceed $40 per acre, and 1t Is
generally believed that most Of the to-
bacco of this state is grown at a cost
Of less than $50 per acre, We have at
least a profit Of $l32 on every ecre
produced in the state. This would
mean an enormous total of $3.50, 900
of clean, cold profits to be paid the to-
bacco growers of this state. No such
profits were ever before paid to so
small a number of producers in the
west. The figures are unprecedented
and almost challenge the credulity of
the general public. Think of more
than 100000 in profits pocketed by
less than 10000 farmers Surely the
tobacco growers are in the saddle and
riding easily
