E L. DeIwiche. superin tendent Of
the North Wisconsin experimental
stations, was at Rice Lake last week
lnvestiga ting the conditions neces-
sary for the successful operation of
Il pea cannery. Since his return he
has expressed himself as being salts
fed that the time is about ripe for
the establishment Of such an in
dustry in this part of the state. 1t
requires about 1900 acres Of peas to
ke' p cannery in full operation Dur
ing the season, and he expire sed
himself as being satisfied that the
required acreage can be secured.
The experiments so far made by Mr..
Delwiche convinces him that there
is no better suil for the raising of
peas than the clay soils of the Lake
Superior region. He says that he
saw some good peas raised around
Rice Lake on the loan and yellow
clay soil but none 10 compare with
what is raised on the red clay of
this section.

THERE is q movement on foot
to bring large tract of North
Shore timber to this city for
manufacture, which promises
activity in the saw mill business
for a number of years to come.
President Sprague Of the North
ern State Bank owner of large
tract is deslrous Of securing this
i'm portant business for this city
and is doing his best to Influence
others who are also interested.
During the past few years many
of the mill towns Of the northern
part of the state have in one way
or another given OncessiOns in
the matter Of taxes to large
manufacturing concerns and in
that way have been able to keep
the enterprises they have had,
besides acquiring others that
would employ labor. At a meet
ing held at the Commercial Club
about q month ago, some very
good talks were given on this
very subject by Postmaster Mel
son and others who have been
familiar with the conditions in
other towns and in every case, it
was argued, the matter Of taxes
was compromised. At Iron
River a few years ago, the citi-
zens agreed to pay all the taxes
above a certain amount for the
Hines Lumber Company, con.
ditioned that the mill was to be
kept running. The arrange
ment, up to this time has been
entirely satisfactory to both the
Hines Company and the citizens
and businessmen of Iron River.
The businessmen and citizens of
Washburn have this same pro
position before them. Can we
not get together and offer this
new enterprise a satisfactory
proposition that will start the
wheels of industry going? If
we do not arrive at a conclusion
now we may never have another
chance and the business which
naturally is ours for a little
effort. will go elsewhere.

WESTERN WIND BREAKS.
Experiments to Determine Their Use'
fulness to the Prairie Farmer.

Experiments to Determine Their Use-
fulness to the Prairie Farmer.
The sudden ruin that hot winds
sometimes bring to growing crops in
parts of the west is we'll known.
Blowing strongly across the unob-
structed plains, these winds may In a
few days blast all hope of even par
tial harvest. This is particularly so in
the lower portion Of the central plains
region and in years of unusually low
rainfall Here the winds most to be
feared blow from the southwest or
south. In the northern prairie region
the farmer Is exposed to the hot
chinook wind, which sweeps down
from the Canadian mountains. This
either dries out growing crops or If it
prevails before the danger of killing
froSts is past causes loss through urg-
ing vegetation forward prematurely,
Cold winter winds also do great in
jury to crops, make the climate more
severe for stock and men and interfere
with all even covering of snow upon
the ground. This is true from Cana
da almost to the gulf.
In southern California dry winds
from the north and northeast sweep
down from the Mohave desert with de-
structive results. Coming in June,
these winds may reduce the wheat
yield of unprotected fields to almost
nothing. Windbreaks Of eucalyptus and
Monterey cypress, now in such COM
mon use to protect orange groves and
orchards, long ago convinced possess
ors of highly valuable irrigated land
Of the value of tree planting for pro-
lection purposes.
But there are two sides to the wind
break question. Some prairie farmers
declare positively that belts Of Usage
orange, for instance, are nuisance"
Others cite figures to show positive
benefit. A farmer who lives near
Downs, Kan. gives his yield of corn
from field protected on the south by
a row of tall cottonwoods as six bush
els per acre more than in places where
there is no protection. About fifteen
acres are benefited in this way. 1t is
highly necessary that the windbreak
should occupy only sufficient land to
offset this benefit.
An Illinois farmer sums up his OBJ
servations upon this matter thus: "My
experience is that now, in cold and
stormy winters, wheat protected by
timber belts yield full crops, while
fields not protected yield only one-third
Of a crop. Twenty-Five or thirty years
ago we never had any wheat killed by
winter frosts, and every year a full
crop of peaches, which is now rare AT
that time we had plenty of timber
around our fields and orchards, now
cleared away"
The United States forest service pro
poses to find out just when and how
much windbreaks increase the yield
of crops Measurements and tests will
be made and elaborate data will be
collected by experts who will have
charge of the study.

Savoy Cahhade.

Savoy leaved cabbages are largely
used in Europe. They are marked by
a peculiar fine crumbling of all the
leaves, particularly those of the head.
They are generally Of better table
quality than common cabbage, more
tender, finer in texture and of more
delicate flavor. The plants are better
able to resist cold, but do mot give so
large yield of heads, and the heads
are less solid and cannot be handled
30 well as the more common sorts.

PATRIOTISM.

Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!''
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned
AS home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go, mark him well!
For him no minstrel raptures swell.
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch, concentered all In self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown
And, doubly dying. shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung
Unwept, unhonored and unsung.
