CROP AND TOBACCO sITUArIoS
u is Very Diseourasins in Most Parts
Of Vernon County Today

mol Tor twenty years has there been
a harder drought in Vernon county than
now prevails. Some sections have en-
5oyed occasional local showers, but as q
whole prospects for short crop of al
most everything produced seems GER
tam unless we have rains the present
week. Grass is thin, pastures becom-
ing badly burned, ground parched so
that little else than corn is making any
growth. Barley and wheat give prom
Use OF fair returns, oats light, some far
mers cutting them at this time for
green feed and hay.
The tobacco outlook is most discour-
aging, especially in the immediate sec
ton OF VIroqua, and unless, we have
rains now the crop will be the smallest
acreage the county has grown for twen-
" years. Where rain has fallen, even
lightly, there is an occasional fair stand
of crop. Large plants and continued
dry conditions mean practical failure.
After this week farmers will consider
it too late to set plants even should we
have favorable showers.
Conditions elsewhere are thus de-
scribed by the Edgerton Tobacco Re-
porter: teThe transplanting of the
present tobacco crop has been attended
with trying circumstances this year.
About the only section of the state
where the planting has proceeded under
fairly normal conditions has been in the
extreme southern counties, and even
here the hot, burning temperature has
greatly retarded the work and occa-
stoned much resetting. Nearly the en-
tire state north of Dane county up to
the beginning of the present week has
been burning up under a three weeks
drought which put transplanting almost
out of the question. Everything point
ed to an early transplanting season;
there was an abundance of plants in
readiness FOR the fields and all that was
necessary was suitable weather condi-
tons to see TIE crop out within the
usual dates IN this state. Cool weather
is needed during transplanting rather
than hot, burning days that have pre-
vailed the past two weeks while the
bulk of the crop ought to be going into
the fields. Even with the breaking of
the drought in the northern growing
sections the planting now cannot be
anything but late, and altogether the
outlook for the starting of the 1910
crop is anything but encouraging. In
fact, it has been some years since the
growers have met with greater difficult
ties in getting the crop into the fields. !"

OBSERVERS FUN AND SENTIMENT
Some Pleasant Catches That are TX
pressive

There is not enough Joy IN ChlS Strug-
CLING world So few people have time
for it; but children, happy children,
who are brought up in sympathetic at
mosphere, in the infinite leisure that is
theirs have an immense capacity for
Joy. How can we deny ourselves that
enriching spectacle "a joyous child? The
capacity for joy is one of the highest
of the human faculties, ana it is grossly
neglected. We walk too much with
our feet in graves. Let us laugh with
the children and be young.
The man who makes two blades of
grass grow where formerly there was
but one is rightly said to be public
benefactor. So, too, is the man who
continually speaks well of his town,
who points out its advantages, and
who breathes a spirit of hopefulness in
all its utterances. Such a man helps
the business of his town, gets other
people to talk about it in the strain,
and he has the satisfaction of seeing
the town grow as the result of his
boosting and that of others. Local
patriotism counts and it is as much
needed and as much to be commended
in its place as national patriotism.
In addressing the girls whograduated
at Bryn Mawr college, Philadelphia,
President Taft said: There is one
danger of college education and four
years life under college influences that
it seems to me wise to warn against.
1t is the danger of discomfort with the
surroundings of the home to which
college girl goes back after graduation,
and the yielding to the feeling that her
own town or city does not offer to her
opportunities which she is entitled to
in the use of the education which she
has acquired {" There is much truth in
this, but at first the girl from the
average college is delighted to get back
home where she can get to a good
square meal.
"After keeping record of CONVEX
sation with about one hundred men in
the ordinary walks Of life, we found
that about rs per cent used profane
language in common conversation. That
NAV seem to be large per cent, but
If you will take the pains to keep in
record YOU will find that the number
given is not too high.
why men can not engage in COM
mon conversation without using pro-
fame language is more than we are
able to tell. No good comes from such
language. Dollars are not gained by
it; positions of honor are not secured
through its use; social standing is not
won by it; social standing brings fame.
Then why are so many guilty of using
profane language? We have known a
number of young men to be turned
down who were otherwise competent,
all on account of the terrible language
used by them"
