Cold Weather Hurts Crops.

Cold Weather Hurts Crops.
The report of Secretary John M.
True of the state board of agriculture
Of the condition of Wisconsin crops
follows:
1.-THE general weather conditions
that prevailed during the latter part
of April continued throughout the
month of May. During the period of
ten years last passed, but in one in
stance, 1907, has the mean tempera-
ture for the month of May been as
low as that of the month just passed.
Frequent light frosts have occurred,
and the preponderance of cloudy
weather over sunshine has been I'M
usual.
The rainfall has generally been
light, and in large part of the state
has been insufficient for crop require
ments. While grain crops have fairly
maintained the conditions of health
fulness and general promise reported
month ago, old meadows and pas
lures have fallen off considerably.
With warm weather and rain, how
ever, prospects would rapidly i'm
prove.
Most of the corn acreage has now
ben planted, and early planted fields
are already up and are being Guilt
waited, but the young plants are yellow
and making slow growth. Consider
able re-planting is being done as a
result of poor seed, and the ravages
Of cutworms. The acreage planted to
corn had been considerably increased
over last year.
Sugar beets are backward, and lit
tie tobacco has yet been set. Reports
indicate that the acreage of sugar
beets will be slightly less than last
year, while that of tobacco will be
about the same as last season.
1.-The acreage of potatoes will be no
ticeably less than that of last year;
while that of other farm crops will
not materially change. In canning
districts the increase of peas and corn
for this industry is marked.
1T develops that the apple crop of
the state was not completely ruined
NY Lu0 lIOSLS OA last luOuIu, oAO dp-
pearances indicate that 20 per cent.
of normal crop may yet be secured.
OF other fruit crops, strawberries and
blackberries promise best, so per cent.
of full crop being predicted.
1.-The condition of growing crops is
reported as follows: Winter wheat.
90; spring wheat, 951a; winter rye.
95h; spring rye, 90; oats, 941A; bar
ley, 90; clover meadows, 921A; tim.
othy meadows, sc; alfalfa, 921a; pas,
lures, 881a.

Loves Little Game.

Woman is born an adept at the
little game of love, and to this she
adds the study of lifetime on the
one subject.
Not consciously does she take it up,
but instinctively and upon occasions
as they present themselves. and In
the face of problems as they shrek
out for solution.
The occasions and the problems are
not scarce; they assail the women at
every turn. By her intuitions does
she meet them, to the absolute dis
couragement Of man, who compre-
bends not how the human feminine
mind can glide thus over the outside
of a problem and solve it somehow"

Railroads Must Refund.

The state railroad commission has
ordered the Minneapolis, st. Paul &
Sault Ste. Marie railroad to refund
to the Osceola Mill & Elevator COM
pany SITS as overcharge on shipments
of six carloads of rye from Amery
and other points in the northwestern
part of the state to Osceola.
The commission found the rate of
six cents per hundred-weighte excessive
and fixed the rate at one cent.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail-
road was ordered to refund to the j..
D. Cantwell Paper company, Milwau-
kee, 1928 as overcharge on ship
ment of paper from Milwaukee to
Madison. The charge was ten cents
per hundred-weight and the commits
sion fixed the rate at 71a cents.

Exclusive Perfume Of Frenchwomen.

EXCLUSIVE W
It is now said to be fad for exclu-
sive French and EnClish-and one
must hope-American women, to visit
shops in France where the most ex-
pensive perfumes are for sale, and en-
gage to have made for their exclusive
use a perfume that will not be placed
on the market until several months
later, when of course at the time
common people have it. another per-
fume will have been prepared for the
exclusive" customer, who would rath-
er pay ten dollars for tiny bottle
with the pleasure of knowing that 9TH
ers are not so distinguished, than the
normal price.
What the old-fashioned minister
called These things of time and
sense" are very dear to such women
who aspire to dress like Giulia Moro
SIM the fabulous prices OF whose
gowns were a weeks talk few years
ago. when the cost Of her wardrobe
appeared in the daily papers.

An English farmer, taking his little
son with him, was going to the
polling station to give his vote. On
the way he met friend on the same
errand, and the two entered into con-
versation. After an excited and heat
ed argument about the budget they
came to blows. The poor lad was
much frightened, and, seeing that his
father was getting the worst of It,
suddenly called out to him:
"Hit him in the watch, father;
thatll cost him something!"

Old Smoke Maker Goes.

An old nuisance, the smokestack on
the old south wing of the statehouse,
which for many years has belched
great clouds of black smoke, filling
the air for blocks around Capitol
square with blacklist SCOT, beginning
everything it touched, has been put
out of commission. The boilers and
furnaces that have for SO long been
the source of heat for the old capitol
have been disconnected. The electric
light plant, too, that has furnished
light for the department has been dis
qualified. For the present the capitol
lights are connected with the city
system which will furnish light until
the big dynamos at the new heating
plant on East Washington avenue be-
gins to turn out the electric current
which will probably be within a
month For heat the statehouse now
depends on the new plant, the connec-
tions already having been made.

Plant 5,5oo,ooo Fishes.

With a record of 125, 100000 little
fishes distributed in the waters of
Wisconsin lakes and streams, Superin-
tendent James Nevin is closing the
season for the distribution of lake
trout, brook and rainbow trout, and
pike, the last car of rainbow trout
going out from the Madison hatchery
the other day. Following are the num-
bers and varieties of fry already dis
tributed:

Total NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. lbs, SOC, DOC
Next week will begin the distribu-
ton of bass from the ponds at the
state hatcheries at Minocqua and Del
afield. Superintendent Nevin is much
disappointed with the results realized
from the bass nests at the hatcheries.
The cold spring has proved disastrous,
not more than one-half the expected
number of fry resulting.
Mr.. Nevin says that the closed sea-
son for bass should be extended to
July 1 as in an ordinary year the
spawning season has not fairly begun
by June 1, the date of opening for
bass under the present law. Fully
nine-tenths of the spawning is done in
June and as artificial spawning of bass
is not practical at the hatcheries the
fish should be permitted to go un-
nauoht at least a month later than at
present.
