there is sure to come physical suffering
at times- suffering hard to bear suffer-

THE BOY CHAMPIONS.

The story of the boy champions in
corn growing is an inspiring story.
in the contests conducted by the De-
partment of Agriculture are truly re-
markable When Jerry Moore of South
Carolina can get 228 bushels per acre
at a cost of 43 cents per acre; when
Steve Henry OF Louisiana can pro-
duce nearly 40 bushels per acre at
cost of only 13 cents per bushel;
when eleven year old Joe Stone of
Georgia can grow 1O2 bushels to the
acre at a cost of % cents per acre;
when these yields can be secured
by mere boys under thedirection of
experts in the government service,
what is there that one may not pre-
dict for the future of agriculture in
the United States? For years our
experiment stations, our colleges and
our Department of Agriculture have
been teaching the farmer that, with
scientific methods, he may grow two
ears where only one grew before. !"
That this has been demonstrated by
the boy champions needs only the re-
minder that many farmers in the u
nited States are glad to get crop
of fifty bushels on an acre. And
while Joe Stone and the other boys
are learning how to grow more
than a hundred bushels per acre, the,
are also learning how to keep accounts
to figure out the cost, in dollars and
cents, of producing bushel of corn,
and to find out, as a business man
would, just what his profit is on his
investment of labor and land and
tools What they have done, too, o.
pens up a new vista for those looking
toward the industrial awakening of
the South" Success to the boy chan
pions! May their achievement prove
a stimulus to other farmers, old as
well as young, to discover that hidden
gold mine on their own land.-La Fol
lette's Magazine.

could be raised in Wood County 10
the best advantage and which would
pay the greatest revenue for the a.
bove articles, COWS, clover and corn.
The discussion proved very interest
ing and profitable, and we desire to
call the attention of the farmers who
are readers Of the Reporter to look up
these three items and their value as
products. A good breed of cows are
certainly money makers; clover is a
good seller and enriches the soil up
on which it is grown. Corn is a gooc
fodder for all around purposes, and
the price Of it insures a good income
The recent contest in the southern
and eastern states by the young men,
is what brought out the discussion. 1t
would probably be a good idea for
the farmers of Wood County to post
up on these three subjects and find
out if they were making the most of
their opportunities in filling the soil

The reelection of Senator R. NJ
La Toilette to the U. S. Senate will
be very pleasing and satisfying to
the Progressive Republicans in the
State of Wisconsin, In many respects
he is an ideal Senator. He has the
confidence and esteem of the rank
and file of the Republican party as
well as a large percentage of other
political parties. He has already &C
complished much for the people in the
stand he has taken in the U. S. Sen
ate He has not been found want
ing" and can be found on the firing
line of every battle. The common PEG
pie are behind him, and will be with
him as long as he continues his
present course. He will be a promi,
nent candidate in the next National
convention for the Presidency. He
stands out the most prominent can,
didate for the republican nomination
The press of the country appear tc
be strongly in his favor, and as time
passes he will become more so. Wis
consin Republicans should be unit
for him, as it would be a great honor

ture for him.

SENATOR
Houses of Legislature Meet
Separately on tuesday and

nesdaY.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 24.-With on
ly one republican senator, John M.
Whitehead, opposing the election, and
strictly according to schedule, the
Wisconsin legislature, voting as sep
arate bodies, reelected Robert NJ. La
Toilette to the United States senate
on Tuesday.
Except that the upper house delay
ed action in order to give Senator A.
w. Sanborn, who was unable to arrive
on time, an opportunity to vote, there
was no deviation from the program
as arranged.
Senator Whitehead unexpected ac
ton in casting his ballot for Gen.
Frederick c. Winkler of Milwaukee,
was the only sensation of the senator
iaI election Otherwise the votes wer,
cast on strictly party lines and at
no time was there the slightest doubt
as to the outcome.

President Taft is becoming more
and more unpopular in Wisconsin by
playing small politics" 1t is well
known that Senator La Toilette is
highly thought of in this state as the
recent elections have shown. The
Presidents appointment of Guy D.
Golf of Milwaukee as United States
Attorney for the Eastern District of
Wisconsin, against the recommends
ton of Senator La Toilette of w. J.
McElroy to that position, is only en-
phasizing his personal dislike for the
Senator. 1t may be possible that Sen
ator La Toilette is more to blame for
the arrangement between the Presi-
dent and himself, but that is no rea-
son why the President of the United
States should so belittle the digni-
fled station he fills by retalliating in
this manner The offense on the
part of the President is not alone a.
gainst La Toilette, but against all Re
publicans of the State of Wisconsin
We believe the President to be above
such action and are greatly surpris
ed in his taking such a course. This
method is losing the President many
friends and admirers in this state.
