Suggestions 10 Tobacco Growers.

EDITOR CENSOR: There is consider
able dissatisfaction over delivering of
the 1906 crop of tobacco, and the blame
can't be put entirely on the packers on
account of tobacco spelling in the sheds
This selling your crops in the field, and
in some instances in the plant beds,
don't work to satisfaction, neither to
buyer or seller. The only proper and
sane way Is to wait till the goods are
in the bundle and then sell it. ! would
suggest to the growers to meet and
perfect an organization and every mem
ber pledge himself to not sell till the
tobacco is bundled; buy a membership
fee of $500, SO. 90 to go toward fund
to be placed in bank and $500 to go
towards necessary expenses. Elect a
president, secretary and treasurer;
place in the bylaws, ''any member
selling his crop before it is in the bun
die shall lose his membership fee, also
be subject to a penalty of $25 per acre;
make the by laws iron-clad. This way
of disposing of crops, think, viii work
to the benefit of buyer and seller alike.
Selling crops in the field don't work
satisfactorily. Some outside buyer
will come into the field in August or
September and pick up few crops at
extraordinary high prices, and of course
our local buyers are on the lookout to
get their share and viii rush out at a
break neck speed and can't get any Of
the growing crop unless the prices
paid by the foreign buyers, are paid.
Corsf quently on delivery days growers
WI o expect 81, 200 in good money will
tahe nome from 500 to 81, 900.
would like to hear from others on
this subject through the columns OF the
CENSOR Somebody start call to
meet at certain place, say Viroqua,
and perfect an organization. Some say
it win be hard on some Of us who are
used to selling early and getting hand
money the time Of the year when mon
ey is scarce. To those ! would say,
we have plenty Of banks in Vernon
county that will be glad TO help you
out for two or three months.

LARGE AUDIENCE GREErs BRYAN.
His Lecture on "The Old World and It's
Ways" is Well Received.

An audience of nearly 800 persons sat
for more than two hours in the beauti-
full high school auditorium last Satur-
day afternoon, and listened with mark
ed attention, to Mr.. bryaG's lecture on
his trip around the world. The Great
Commoner was most cordially welcomed
by the citizens of Viroqua and left a
remarkably good impression on the
minds of every one. He was met at
the depot by a delegation of citizens
and escorted to Hotel Fortney, where
an informal reception was held later.
He dined with ex-Mayor Cofiiand.
At two o'clock, with Mayor Chase, ex-
Mayor Coffiand and G. F Dahl in a
landau, drawn by the finest team in
the city, he was taken to the audtori-
um and introduced by the mayor to the
audience.
Mr.. Rrran spoke briefly of many
places and rhings. He told of ruins; of
rivers: of the tombs he had seen; of
the great hewn stones in the Temple of
Karnak in Egypt; of the Ganges, the
sacred river in which the dead are bur-
led and the living bathe. He told of
the great rulers he had met: The EN-
peror of Japan; the King of Sweden,
whom he admired as peace advocate;
King Haakon of Norway, whose coro-
nation he witnessed. He had asked to
see all these potentates. But King
Edward had invited him to call and he
found him a royal good fellow. He
praised Norway and the Norwegians.
His lecture was almost sermon. He
spoke highly of the christian mission
aries whose stations form chain
across the Orient America pays al
most as much to India for missions and
schools as Britain does. Japan is fast
becoming aIChristian nation. Confuci-
anism is a negative philosophy, christ
ianity, positive religion. He found
sentiment growing all over the world
in favor of education and of peace
among ma tions. He believes our own
country can do much by future treaties
to avoid war. He became eloquent
when he talked of arbitration and uni
versal peace and his audience for a mo-
ment got glimpse of his oratory. A
banquet was given Admiral Togo when
he returned victorious to Japan. Mr..
Bryan was there He was a teetotaler.
When he rose to respond to toast he
turned down his glasses and drank the
health of the Admiral in water 'Bdt
we are toasting in wine," said Admiral
Togo. Eyes, Admiral, but all your
great victories were won on water, y
was Mr., Bryan's reply.

Desert Barley

Professor Gordon True of the expert
ment station of the University OF Ne
vada reports the discovery of a winter
barley that will thrive on the deserts
and in the unIrrigated valleys OF Ne
vada
He has been successful with two va
rieties and claims that land now pro
ducing nothing but sagebrush and bunch
grass can be made to yield prolific crops
OF barley. The beardless barley grows
rapidly and will yield more than thirty
five bushels to the acre, while the Ten
nessee winter barley will yield more
than forty bushels to the acre.
