AMID THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS.

When grosbeaks show a damask rose
Amid the cherry blossoms white
And early robins nests disclose
To loving eyes joyous sight:
When columbines like living Goals
Are cleaning 'gainst the lichened rocks,
And at the foot of messy holes
Are young anemones in hoeks;
When glnger-root beneath twin leaves
Conceas its dusky floral bell,
And snowy orchid shyly weaves
In humid nook its fragrant spell;
When dandelions coin Of gold
Anew is minted IN the lawn
And maple trees their fringe unfold,
White warblers storm the groves at dawn
When these and more greet eye and ear,
Then strike thy tasks and come away;
1t is the joy month of the year,
And onward sweeps the tide of May.

Luther Mehring of indianapolis, who
left Bruceville, Maryland, forty years
ago. owing debts amounting to $1,000.
which he could not pay, is better off in
this year of grace 1909. He has gone
back to Bruceyille with means on his
person for the liquidation of all he
owes. Mr. Mehring does not want to
take advantage of the statute of limi-
tations. 1t will cost him 5000 to can
eel the accounts against him together
with interest; but he could make no
other use of the money that would afford
him as much satisfaction. There are
still some honest men.

During the late war in South Africa,
when the tenacious Beers were making
their last stand against The British, Gen.
Nelson A. Miles provoked humorous crit
icism and lampooning by suggesting the
employment of armored cars for use on
battle fields. The idea was developed
from the use of armored cars on the rail
roads, by which the British troops were
enabled at times to make successful raids
into the enemies country. This sugges-
ton by Gen. Miles was only in advance
of the times, Cor Germany, France and
Austria are said to be experimenting
with powerful battle motors. These mo-
tors, which would, of course, be useful
only on level fields, are covered with
plating so that missiles cannot disable
them or hit their occupants.

A special board has recommended a
change in the character of the physical
training of the cadets at Annapolis, many
of whom, it says, are stoop-shouidered
and carry themselves in any but a milf
tary way. This does not reflect upon
the academy solely, because young men
cannot be made over physically during a
course of four year. 1t arraigns the pre-
paratory schools for neglecting athletics
which develop the body and make for
dignity of carriage. This is something
in which the entire student body should
have training, so that they may look like
athletes even though they lack ambition
or inclination to take part in field and
track sports.

Frozen solid and standing up beside
a snowbank. the body of Charles Hall,
a miner of Gable Cove, Ore, was found
recently by ]. w. Bell. Hall had been
missing since the first of the year and
repeated searches had been made for
him. Hall had been working in n tun-

The enterprise of the American pack
ers who have purchased meat establish
ments in Argentina for the purpose of
sharing in the export business to Great
Britain has opened the eyes of eastern
butchers and steamship men to the pos
sibilities of success for a development of
similar sort for the benefit of meat
consumers in the United States. The
idea of establishing a direct meat trade
with Argentina is under discussion, and
it may eventuate in experimental serv-
ice for the purpose of ascertaining
whether meats from South America can
be put upon the blocks of retailers for
less money than is now demanded by
the western packers. Meat consumers
in the east will hail effort of this kind
with hope that it may enable them to
secure cheaper meats. 1t is argued that
the duty of two cents a pound on the
prime cuts of beef will not prevent inn
porters from making a good profit in
the business while at the same time con
sumers are deriving substantial benefit

CROP CONDITIONS
HARD TO FORECAST
SECRETARY JOHN M. TRUE RE-
PORTS UNUSUALLY BACK
WARD SITUATION.
LESS THAN HALF OF USUAL
GRAIN AcREAGE-FRUlT PROS
Poets GOOD.
Madison, May s

Madison, May 3.
Secretary John NJ. True of the state
agricultural society yesterday made
public his first crop report for 1909
showing decreased acreage of oats to
be sown and a probable increase OF
barley and spring wheat area. Fruit
prospects he reports favorable though
weather conditions are unusual.
The Report.
On account of the extreme back
wardness of the season, Mr.. True
says, it is impossible to give as def
mite a report of the condition of farm
crops as is usual on the first of May.
Vegetation has been very slow in
growth, and physical conditions bear
a greater resemblance to those usu-
ally found April first-than a month
later The weather has been, and
remains cold, and the fall of rain and
snow within the past two weeks has
been much in excess of normal.
Some parts of the state report from
four to six inches of snow now on the
ground.
Considerable less than one-half of
the farm acreage intended for the
growth of oats and barley has yet
been sown.
Indications are that winter grains,
meadows and pastures have come
through the winter without excessive
winter killing.
Last years seeding of clover and
alfalfa are usually in good condition,
and pastures, though late need only
warm weather to put them in good
form.
One of the compensations of the
continued cool weather is the retard-
ing of the growth of fruit buds, and
with later seasonable weather, fruit
prospects should be good.
We note from our correspondents a
continued tendency to decrease OF
acreage of winter wheat, which has
ceased to be an important crop in the
state. Rye maintains it's usual acre
age.
While the partial failure of the oat
crop of the past two years will con-
siderably diminish the acreage sown
in some localities, it is evident that
the increase of barley acreage win be
decidedly marked, as it was last sea
son over previous years.
The sowing of spring wheat is
gaining among farmers in many parts
OF the state, and the present high
price of the grain has a tendency to
strengthen the inclination.
Present Indications are favorable
for a good hay crop and excellent pas
turage, while with warmer, drier
weather in the near future our next
report may show all around normal
conditions.
The failure to get in small grain
crops in the usual season will have
tendency to increase the acreage of
later planted crops.
