The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-12-13


WISCONSIN raised the appropriation
last winter made for farmers institute
work to the neat sum of $4,000. AS
result of this liberal appropriation about
5one hundred winter Institutes will be
held, beginning December 10th. Four
corps of institute lecturers will be pro-
vided. tn addition to this a number of
large conventions will be given to one
subject only. A corn institute will be
held next spring at some southern point
in the state, the purpose of which will
be to give full information concerning
the proper method of preparing the seed
bed for Germ, the amount of seed to SOW,
methods of cultivation, rules to be fol-
loved for those who expect to improve
their seed by breeding. etc. During the
summer season a special convention will
be gotten up dealing with dairy farming
and 10 connection with this the question
of alfalfa growing will also be taken up.
A special tobacco institute will be held
somewhere in the great tobacco belt of
the state, and experts from Wisconsin
and other states will be invited to take
part in the proceedings. A date will
be selected later on for the holding of
special potato institute, this to be held
at some point ia the north western part
of the state.

they ever were in the old days of 'cor-
ruption" and graft" but why should
we expect to get good things for nothing?

purer for our breathing-that is for us
who are left. Several frst-class eastern
insurance companies which have long
been doing business in Wisconsin, to the
great convenience and benefit of the
people of the state, and to the enhance
ment of the commemorative reven ues,
have withdrawn their offices and agents.
They say, and prove it, too, that the
anti insurance legislation of last winter,
claimed to Ee reformatory, but strongly
suspected to be promotive of sundry po-
litlcal booms, is so hostile as to make it
unsafe to continue to do business in
Wisconsin; so they step down and out,
and with them 60 the revenues which
they used to pay to the state. 1t hurts
our pockets, but is it not reform? An
other source of income which was re-
formed away four years ago still is con-
spicuous by its absence: that is the
taxes paid by steamboats, and other
shipping. The increase of tax was pro-
nounced extortionate, SO the registration
Of the boats was transferred to Mime
sofa, Michigan and Illinois, and those
states ore getting the bushels of dollars
which used to fall into the Badger treas
ury at tax time. Reform may make
Us viTtuous, but it is doing its best to
keep US poor. Whitewater Register.

Distressing accidents. such as we find

posterity the fact that dangers to life

Clumsiness atwork on the part Of the
injured or injurer did much mortal
mischief. a man dropped from his
ladder or scaffolding while repairing q
house or was scalded to death by an
overturned kettle Of potash or maple
sap. We read of a father and three
sons who were killed by sufocation
one after another, while descending
into pit without first testing for car
bonic acid.
People were careless, moreover, in
the use Of powder and firearms when
the Revoluti onary era began. At Hart
ford the legislature voted joyfully to
the townsfolk two barrels Of powder
for volleys In honor of the repeal Of the
stamp act The powder was kept in
a schoolhouse. and the militiamen.
when filing their horns with it. left
some spilled on the floor. Il
The school children, playing with
the black grains, set them on fire and
the train led to a powder barrel, which
exploded with tremendous concussion.

many children were killed. s#
