Made Good" All ALONG The Line

General Manager Peter Waller of the
Southeastern railroad, has new honors
and responsibilities thrust upon him,
having been chosen general manager Of
the La Crosse city electric railway.
He will retain his connection with the
Southeastern. Of Mr.. Valier's early
career and business accomplishments
the La Crosse Leader Press comments:
Left fathe less and motherless in
Canada, Peter Waller spent his boyhood
days on the great lakes, later wander
ing west He had no relatives so far
as he knew, and was destined for no
particular point He happened to strike
La Crosse and went to work for Law
and Mosher, lumbermen.
Just let Pete Waller alone" said he
with a smile when asked for some in
formation regarding his life. pete
Waller is not looking for notoriety. All
there is to say is that Mr. Edwards has
resigned and | have been selected as
general manager" AID he walked
away
But everybody Who is familiar with
local history knows that about three
years after he came here he became
superintendent of the syster. holding
the position until about five years ago
when he built the Southeastern road.

TAKING ON A PHENOMENAL GROWTH
Tobacco Prospects Improve Harvest and
Buying Commenced in Small Way

Prospects for an average growth of
Vernon county tobacco are hourly grow
ing better, and the reports given by
growers are encouraging. Two weeks
ago now the belief was quite general
that the yield would be small and stunt
ed and bring little cash. The good
rains have changed the aspect and now
farmers not infrequently make the ex-
preston that they will have at least an
average crop and some say the best we
have ever grown. 4 IS a whole, the
CENSOR doubts if there will be am
average crop in either acreage or quality
But the outlook is promising for good
prices and demand fDr the weed. A
number of farmers have started housing
their crops, DIR. Porter being the first
in this immediate section, having com
menced last Saturday.
There was much apprehension last
Friday night in this region of country
at the threatening clouds and coolness
that suddenly came up. The Viroqua
community entirely escaped damage,
but the outlying districts did not fare
as well. In portions of Clinton, Chris
tiana, Webster, Stark, Franklin and
perhaps other towns, hail fell and
brought more or lese damage to tobacco
and other standing clops. AS a whole
we are not apprised that the results are
very serious.
A number of outside buyers have in
vaded our county since the CENSOR last
was published, which has had the effect
of starting local dealers, and the field
is being pretty generally looked over
and in many cases crops contracted for.
Offers, we are advised, are about on q
par with last years purchases in the
fields.

1t would seem that conditions else
where in the growing districts of the
state are not dissimilar to our own
Cn this point the Edgerton Tobacco
Reporter comments:
1--WE can think of no nocropgrowing from
the soil that has greater recuperative
qualities than tobacco. 1t can stand
longer drouths and greater griefs than
any other crop produced on the farm
and still make good at the harvest time,
One reason for this is that it is a quick
growing crop. Under ideal conditions
GO days from the time of transplanting
win produce tobacco fit for the sheds,
and in ordinarily favorable season IS
days sees the making of the crop. Taese.
facts are recalled now that the present
crop is making such phenomenal re-
eovery from a long season of dr0uth.
The warm days following the breaking
of the drought, and warm nights as
well, have made the medium and late
set fields fairly jump. BY actual meas
urements taken by growers, it has been
found that the leaves have been taking
on a growth of | 4 inches each "a hours
of late. II needs scarcely more than
Is days of such growing weather to be
the making of tobacco that weeks ago
was thought to be almost beyond help"
"The expected has pappened this
time, for field buying OF the new to-
bacco crop has commenced in the Yer
non county section, including Crawford
as well. The Pretzfeld hrm, the Bek-
kedal- BLUR Rosenwald concern and the
buyers representing the United Cigar
Manufacturing Co. have taken the field,
which will induce others to join and a
merry chase for desirsble crops will
now be on. Just what headway they
are making is difficult to say at this
writing, brit growers in this district are
generally early sellers so it seems prob
able that selections will be readily taken
over. The prices are about on par
with those that opened the market
year ago~-frOm 10 to IL cents for wrap
per and binder grades and cents for
filters, all bundle delivery Before the
week is over hundred buyers doubt
less will be riding the growing sections
and contracting tobacco that is yet
quite long ways from the she'd"
Little has developed in the market
for old leaf worthy Of note. Both 1907
and 1908 goods ir country hands is
quietly being absorbed and moderate
sales by packerss on manufacturers
orders are being made.
'"rhe bulletin OF the Department of
Agricultural giving the condition of the
tobacco crop on August LIST for the en-
tire country, gives the average condi-
sion as 1874 per cent as compared with
85 8 a year ago. The Wisconsin crop is
given standing Of n per cent as
against 80 per cent August 2, 1908, and
an average of 81 per cent for ten years.
1t must be admitted that the govern
ment report is very conservative,

Mayor Chase has issued circular
letter to property holders calling upon
them to clean up for fair and home com
ing. The appeal is properly directed
and should, from matter IF duty and
civil pride, be fully complied with. 1t
had been matter of pride 10 the writer
to always maintain that Viroqua is the
model home town Of the state. If in
this we have exaggerated, the one thing
lacking to make it reality is a re-
newed spirit Of slick-up. A moving of
grass and weeds in front Of residences,
removal Of all kinds of rubbish from
alleys and back wards and numerous
other things that are disfguring to the
beauty Of our model little city. Be on
deck, every citizen, from this date till
fair time and little effort will make
the town blossom as the rose.
