A hunter in tropical regions tells Of
seeing a cricket pursued around the

the insect settled itself in a small de
preston IN the bark, spread out its
wings slightly and flattened itself so
that the lizard actually crawled over
It and went away without ever know

A Chance for the Farmer Boys.

Under the direction of Prof. r. A.
Moore Of the department of agromony,
the University of Wisconsin college OF
agriculture has arranged corn grow
ing contest for boys under sixteen years
of age in Richland, Dodge, Sauk and
Vernon counties. The department has
distributed seed corn of the best varie-
ties to boys desiring to enter the con-
test. The conditions are that all the
work connected with raising the corn
must be done by the boys themselves.
The results will be exhibited at the
fairs in these counties, where they will
be judged by representatives. of the col
lege of agriculture. The purpose is to
create greater interest among the
young farmers in developing the best
varieties of sorn adapted to conditions
in Wisconsin.

COLD RErARDS TOBACCO
Warmer Weather Needed for Seed Beds
Assessors Should Perform Duty.

There are no matters of Importance
in connection with tobacco doings.
Eckhardt will complete easing in a short
time. No foreign buyers have been
here to inspect the packings, an un-
usual omission. The Reporter saws
that the outlook for the coming crop at
the beginning of May is not very en-
eouraging. Early in the week growers
were shoveling snow off their plant
beds, and freezing weather continues
up to the present writing. The young
plants have commenced to show, but
cannot make much headway under ex-
isting conditions. Warmer weather
must come soon if the planting season
is to start at the usual dates.
The same journal remarks that MAY
lst is the date when the assessors are
supposed to begin their duties of listing
propery for taxation purposes in this
state and gather the agricultural sta
tistics required by law. In years past
these officials have not given the crop
statistics part of their duties the at
tention it deserves. To be of any value
the figures which they gather must OF
necessity be approximately correct, and
they can make them reasonably so il
they carry out the intent of the law.
Once more the writer desires to appeal
to the assessors of the tobacco growing
district to use their best efforts To
secure accurate figures relating to the
acreage and production of the tobacco
crop this season. From all sides there
is az earnest appeal for reliable farm
statistics. The agricultural depart.
ment at Washington has undertaken te
assist in this matter by the cooperation
of the internal revenue department
which now requires all licensed dealers
in tobacco to report the names and
amount of pounds purchased from
growers for statistical purposes, in adj
dition to the form So now kept by them.
The department viii be in possession OF
correct information regarding the num-
Der of pounds produced each year.
Now if the assessors will correctly re-
port the acreage we will soon be able to
give accurate estimates of the yield
per acre something that has been a
good deal of guesswork heretofore.

New Ruling on Mileage Books,
