How About the Consumer?

Trouble between the stockholders of
the Rock County Telephone company
over possible sale.of that company to
the Wisconsin Telephone company has
reached the acute stage. The la est
offer made by the members who are
opposed to the sale-that the Wist on
sin company pay $125 a share-was re-
fused by President Burt of the Wiscon-
sin company, who sent back word tnat
$93, 000 is all the company will pay.
and those who believe the company has
no need to sell, claim to control ma
jority of the stock.
There is one thing which has SEEM
ingly been lost sight of in newspaper
discussion that has been going on re-
lating to the absorption of the James
vile independent company, and that is.
what interest the telephone users have
in the pending negotiations. The James
vile public has been generously sup
porting two telephone systems for some
years past and most business places
paying tribute to both. Many of them
doubtless feel this is double tax that
ought not to be continued indefinitely,
when one service would answer every
purpose. These are the people who
sooner or later will demand that they
be relieved from this additional burden,
and it is condition to be reckoned
with in determining a consolidation.
With state commission standing as an
arbiter to protect the public against ex-
tortionate rates, competition in the tel
ephone business has lost its force as an
argument.

You can take your own judgment
relative to the value of the discovery
of the north pole since authorities diff
fer so widely on that issue. The chief
photographer of the navy and the SUI
perintendent of the coast and geodetic
survey say the discovery is of great
value, but they assume that Cook
brings back data enabling our geo
graphers to perfect their maps of the
polar regions. Others attach no scien-
tific Importance to DIR. Cooks achieve
ment. Professor Macmillan of the
University of Chicago says the discov-
cry is of no value to astronomy. DR..
Wallace w. Atwood says it adds nothing
to geology. Willis ]. Moore, chief of
the weather bureau, says the benefits
will be chiefly geographical, that his
science will gain nothing. Others say
there was nothing to prove except
mans endurance and so DR.. Cook has
proved nothing else. Rear Admiral
George Melville thinks "this puts an
end to the arctic fad" He evidently
hopes there will be no further sacrifice
of human lives and perfectly good dogs,
reindeer and provisions in the search
for the north pole, now that one man
has reaped all the glory and fame to be
gained through it's discovery. On the
other hand Chief Willis Moore believes
that within few years the north pole
will be reached by excursion boats and
airships. Anyhow, we may cherish
whatever opinions on the subject that
we will.-Madison Democrat.

FooDsTUFFs constitute the largest
and most important item in personal
and family expenditure. Official sta
tistics show that out of the necessary
expenditures of the average family in
this country practically one-half is paid
for foodstuffs. Such families spend
three times as much for food as they
do for clothes and twice as much for
food as they do for rent and fuel. Food
is the largest bill in the family expense
book. It would be safe proposition
to offer prize to the man who can
find in the new tariff any prospect of a
reduction in cost of living and lower
prices for food and foodstuffs. IN. Y.
Sun. Sure. The loud cry of the farm
ing districts during the tariff agitation
was cheaper lumber, cheaper clothing,
etc. Nor did any of our weakened
congressman propose any reduction of
duties on Canadian foodstuffs. And it
all goes to show how supremely selfish
we all really are.

Figures Wanted for Census Report.

The government census enumeratOrS
will want to know good deal OF the
farmers next year, and in order to be
able to give satisfactory answers it
would be we'll to commence preparing
an account in advance.
The questions about farm operations
will relate to the present calendar year,
1909, but, on the other hand, the in
quiries regarding farm equipment are
directed toward the farmers posses
sions of this kind on the day and date
of the enumeration, April Is, 1910. The
latter division of inquiry really amounts
to an inventory. The necessity of some
written or permanent record by the
farmers themselves of farm operations
is obvious, and its value in furnishing
data more reliable than guesswork is
equally evident.
Each person in charge of farm will
be asked to state the acreage and value
of his farm; that is, the acreage and
value of; and of land in his farm COW
cred with woodland; and finally, that
which is utilized for specified farm pur
poses.
Each farmer will be asked to give the
acreage, quantity produced and value
of each crop, including grain, hay, veg
etables, fruit, cotton, tobacco, ETC.,
raised on the farm in the season of
1909.
Each farmer will be asked to report
the number and value of all domestic
animals, poultry and swarms of bees
on the farm on April Is, 1910; also the
number and value of young animals,
such as calves, colts, lambs, pigs; and
of young towels, such as chickens, tur-
keys, ducks, etc., raised in 1909. He
will be further asked to state the num-
Der and kind of animals sold during
1909 and the receipts from such sales,
the number purchased and the amount
paid therefor; and also the number
slaughtered for food and the value of
such animals.
The law requires a report OF the
number of cows kept for dairy purposes
in 1909, and the total estimated amount
of milk produced on the farm; also the
amount of butter and cheese sold and
the amount received from such sales.
Of the expenditures of the farm, the
census schedules will call for state
ment of the amount paid farm labor,
the amount paid for feed for live stock,
and the amount expended for fertiliz-
erS.
If the farm changes owners or ten
ants between the crop year, 1909, and
the date of enumeration, it is requested
that the occupant of the farm in 1910
shall secure the above information re-
lating to the farm for the year 1909.
The owner or tenant this year shall
leave his book record with his successor.

PENNSYLVANIA.

LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. 81, 1909. -
The late rains were not sufficient IN
their precipitation to do much good to
the growing tobacco, even if it was not
so late in the season that there is little
more growth to be expected even under
favorable conditions. Nothing has oc-
Cured to cause a different estimate of
the size of Lancaster county's tobacco
crop, and the fairest estimates place it
below three-quarter crop. Some of
the estimates make it about fifty-five
per cent. The best will have fewer
and smaller leaves than last years to-
bacco, while some of the very worst is
reported as having been plcwed under.
Of course, there is not much of the
latter kind, but there is great deal
that is very small, indeed. About half
the crop has been topped, but there has
not been much cutting.
Local leaf dealers are doing little be-
yond filling the orders of local cigar
manufacturers, but they report plenty
of. inquiries for old goods. Inquirers
will not buy, however, on account of
the stiffening of prices. For the same
reason they are not after 1908 goods,
which have likewise advanced in price.
The cigar industry is about the same
as it was a month ago.
The following sales of 1908 tobacco
are reported: Gabel & Immel, Mount
vile, 200 cases; John Pennypacker,
Mountville, 118 cases; John Hoover and
David Hoover, Willow Street, 112 and
100 cases, respectively, to Siesel &
Tole, Lancaster; Smith & Fry sold 300
cases to L. P. Kimmig & Co., Philadel-
phia, and the latter firm bought Is
cases from John D. Skiles. New Era.

Monies of agricultural education. lie
said this is an age of Industrial educa-
ton. we are using our knowledge
for the betterment of ourselves and
in this sense our education is different
from the past which was perhaps more
for scholarly attaniments.
These two principles can be estab-
lished. First, that man can be train
ed in terms OF Industrial affairs. A
student can be trained and educated
in the study Of wheat or of a soil as
well as in the study OF the classics
Secondly, achievement in industrial
affairs requires training, in terms OF
those activities Today we recognize
that any achievement is made by APP
plication OF principles that have been
brought about by study. We study
the thing as well as about the thing.
Farming is coming to be looked
upon more as a business and as such
it demands a business training. A sue
cessful farmer must be educated in
the growth of crops, the selling OF
crops, and in agriculture as an in
dustry."
