GOOD CROPS In THE NORTH
Satisfaction of University Ex.
perimental Station Inspected
by Prof. Moore.

Prof &. A. Moore of the depart
ment of agronOmy, University of Wis
cOnSin, has just returned from a tour
of inspection of the northern subStat-
ions of the University Experimental
Station, and reports all the farm crops
in good condinion. The select strains
of barley that have been transferred
to the north look exceptionally we'll
especially those lplanted on the clay
soils. The Oderbucker barley is the
leader, and is undoubtedly valuable
acquisition to farmers in the north
ern part of the state. Many bushels
of this valuable seed barley will be
grown this year not only on the expert
ment station farms. but on those of
fifty or more farmers who are carry
ing on cooperative tests with barley
aud other pure bred grains.
The many varieties of corn intro
duced in the northern countries are
fully as far advanced as those in the
southern ana central parts of the
state. At Ashland and Iron River
station the corn measured five feet in
height on July Is, and was nearly
ready to taSsel. The clover and
grasses are especially fine on all the
farms inspected.
With the great clovers grown in
the north, aud With reasonable asSur-
ance of good corn crops, Prof. Moore
believes that northern Wisconsin will
soon become the leading dairy section
of the state. The loamy soils of the
Iron River districts seem especially
adapted to the gowing of potatoes,
corn, and sugar beets were ten inches
high when inspected, and they were

When the REPORTER announced
Tuesday the appointment of Atty.

WANT LANDS
WOOD COUNTY
Russian Rev0IutiOnists Seek to
COIOnjZe Here,

Atty. j. w. Cochran recently re.
ceived letters from Captain Orlir
| Clyde Cullen, manager and diplomatic
agent for the Russian Republican
Military association, in which inquiry
is made regarding Wood County lands
rhis society seeks track of about
5000 acres Of land, suitable for stock
raising and general farm purposes.
The letter states that Capt, Culler
will come here personally to inspect
lands, if a suitable tract can be found
and will be prepared to pay cash pro
viding the price is right.
In case suitable lands could be
found, it is the intention to COLOMBO
them Immediately with CircaSsans
from the Caucasus. These people are
said to be honest, industrious, sober
and physically the best race in
Europe.
The Russian Republican Military
association is an amalgamation of the
several Finnish, Polish. Lettish, Els
thOnian, Lithuanian, Armeni n,
Circassian and ether societies in this
country that are working for the es-
tablishment of republic in Russia
like the United States.
The society already numbers over
272,000 registered voters scattered
throughout all the states and terri
tories, and the number is rapidly in
creasing.
Several United States senators and
members of the house of representa-
tives are members of this OrgaDiza-
tion, but for Obvious reasons their
names are known on its books only as
numbers or letters.
Gen. Ivan l. Narodny, who cap
tured CrOnStadt last year from the
car, is general political and diplo-
matte director. Prof. Max Reusner,
dean of the faculty of the University
of Berlin, is civil director. and Col.
Orlan Clyde Cullen is travelling man.

The organization is not in any way
connected with the anarchists or ter
rOriStS, but seeks to overthrow tue
present Russian government in the
same way the authority of Great
Britain was overthrow in this coun-
try during the Revolution.

fishing the CirCassian republic, of
which Prince Otto Schamyl, the vet

president. 1t has also established the
Baltic republic that is giving the car

Russia.
1t is understood that this organiza-
ton is receiving the unofficial support

The protection which is given the
hotel keepers by law in making it a
criminal otfense to jump board bill,
has very justly been extended in a
lesser measure to the liverymen BY
an act just passed by the legislature
it is made a misdemeanor punishable
by fine for a person hiring a horse
from livery stable to use the animal
for any other purpose than that
stated at the time of hiring the horse,
or driving him further than the dis
lance for which he was hired to
be driven, The Pilot would suggest
that similar protection be extended
the editors of this state, against those
who take paper for a number of
years and then move out of reach of
the editor, without paying for his
paper. If protection is given one
class of tradesmen, why not another?

Already the reports have begun to
arrive of the plentiful quantity of game
there is going TO be for the SpOrtsmen

drive along the country roads, while
another has seen millions of birds just

THEN YOU CAN
TELL THE TINE
AT Midnight, at Noon Time. or
Early in The Morning or Eve.

Tick-tock. Tick-tock!
The old Library clock. which has
licked away so many years for some
Grand Rapids people, will not only
continue to tick away the days,
months and years, but it will be so
arranged that it viii be of service to
the people night and day. At pre-
sent it has dark dial, an on. cloudy
dark nights it is impossible to tell the
time, unless one goes up close to the
building.
The authorities have ordered new
dials for this clock and they will be
placed as soon as they arrive. These
new dials are of glass. similar to the
dials used in the great clock in the
tower Of the Milwaukee City Hall.
Back of the glass dial are hung cleo
trio lights, and no matter how dark
the night thereafter, and from any
portion of the city, the time may be
seen.
This is not the only improvement,
however, for these dials are to be so
arranged, that the sleet and storms
of the winters will not effect the
clock. Every citizen of Grand Rapids
knows how many times and often he
has looked up to the clock immedi-
ately after a severe snow storm in the
winter, only to find that the clock
had stopped. For two and three
weeks at a time the clock missed fire,
but hereafter, the weather will have
no terrors for the faithful old clock,
and whether rain, snow or hail, it
will register the time of day, for the
new dials are to be encased in glass.
Just when the order for the new
dials will be filled is not known, but a
short time at least is anticipated.
