Crop demonstrations on the state
and county farms of Wisconsin have
taught many valuable lessons. Supt.
A. j. Hutton of the Industrial School
for Boys says: Il know the farmers
of this region are taking more care in
the selection of their seed corn, oats
and other grains. They are consider
ing deficiencies of their soils and how
to rectify them and are seeking for
the kinds of crops especially adapted
to this region"
Improved methods of crop raising
are shown in actual operation on
fields in the community where the
farmer lives. They are open to in
spection every day, and once year
a representative of the agronomy de-
partment of the Wisconsin College OF
Agriculture conducts a demonstration
meeting on each farm. Farmers bring
their lunches and spend the day hear
ing Of the methods used and seeing
the results.
Those who attended this summer
learned four major lessons about al
falfa: First, the absolute necessity
of freeing the soil from weeds by
narrowing every week from early
spring until Juee 1, the best seeding
time The second lesson is that a
nurse crop is usually harmful Very
few fields sown with a nurse crop
this season survived, while the greater
number of those sown without nurse
crop show a good stand in spite OF
the most unfavorabIe season since
alfalfa was introduced. The third and
fourth lessons learned are the neces-
sity for incubation and Inning At
Virginia, one-half OF a 20-acre field
was not inoculated, is dead, while the
inoculated half yielded five tons per
acre Similar good results followed
the use of lime on acid soils. The

Governor Asks Aid for City.

A proclamation by Governor Nc
Govern and Secretary Of State Frear
calling upon the people Of the state
to contribute to the relief of the flood
sufferers of Black River Falls was is
sued by the state department.
Following is the proclamation:
An appalling catastrophe has come
upon the city of Black River Falls in
Jackson county. Practically all the
business section and large portion
of the residence district has been
swept away by floods. Hotels, banks,
store buildings, iron works, factories
and the municipal lighting plant has
been completely destroyed. Even the
land on which they stood is
EtH submerged beneath a torrent of
mud and water The property loss has
already exceeded $1,500,000 FOrtu
nately, no lives were lost and the i'm
mediate requirements Of the stricken
city have been met. BY request Of the
sheriff state troops are policing the
flooded district. Temporary supplies
Of food have been provided by neigh
boring cities. The pressing need now
is money.
A resolution passed and signed by
the common council of Black River
Falls has been forwarded TO me under
the city's official seal, calling for fnan-
cial assistance. With full confidence
in the generous spirit of our people to
respond promptly and literally.

the Waupun prison and many other
places also yielded five tons and the
Reed county asylum farm produced
six tons per acre. These experiments
on alfalfa are valuable, when the I'M
portance of protein in rations for farm
animals is remembered. The Madison
experiment station found 1877 per cent.
of protein in alfalfa and only 1923
per cent in clover, while the yield OF
twice as great.
A particular object of these demon
STATIONS is to induce farmers to use
good seed. Pedigree grains and corn
grown at the Madison station are
planted in the plots on the state and
county farms, side by side with that
ordinarily used by the farmers of the
vicinity. A comparison OF the results
is strikingly and Enthusiastically in
favor of the pure-bred seeds, both in
the fields and in the bins.
Tests during the last three years
have also brought out the fact that
Wisconsin farms have averaged only
on W % OuSASlO VI OOA4 POI etS" W
that there has been only SO per cent.
of a stand, and that the average
termination of farmers seed corn was
only Sc per cent There is a connec-
ton here which led to the drying
of seed corn with good ventilation and
artificial heat. Seed thus dried showed
much higher termination and much
better stand in every case. Many farm
ers were found who never knew they
had poor stands of corn.
Inquiries brought out the surprising
fact that only Is or 20 per cent. OF
Wisconsin farmers own and use fan
ming mills. Cleaning seed grains by
this method was everywhere shown
to be simple, inexpensive and of great
profit, both in improved quality OF
seed and in cleaning out weed seed.

MISS SUSAN GLASPELL'S DOG
VOLTA the Original of the Puppies In
Her Story, "The
Visioninq."

Miss Susan Glaspell, the author, has
dog, which fact is of more impor-
lance than might at first appear. For
in her new novel, 1.-The Visionary" are
introduced two frolicsome puppies
named Pourquoi and N'est-cS-pSs. And
there are no two more real characters
In the whole book than Why and Amt
1t, to use their names in English form.
1t was Miss Glaspell's own dog, a
Bohemian beast, that inspired the Gre
alton of THE Visionings" twin puppy
clowns. The real dog also has a
French name, VOLTA. When its owner
bought it, over in Paris, she wanted at
arst to name it Raspail, both in men,
Dry of the boulevard on which she
lived and as a sympathetic cognomen
for a sensitive souled Partisan dog
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
Come Raspail! Raspail! Raspail!" So
Miss Glaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries. 1t is a wan

a Soil Protector,

The leguminous crops, such as
clover and alfalfa, are not equal to
grasses as soil protectors, but are SUI
perior to grasses as soil fertilizers,
since they increase the total available
supply of nitrogen in the soil. This
is due to the action of bacteria, which
are found on the roots of leguminous
plants, and which take free nitrogen
froEa the air in the soil and make it
available for the use of plants. More.
over, perennial legumes, such az
clover and alfalfa, are very deer feed
ers and take a part Of the mineral
elements of their food from the soil
below the depth of the feeding ground
