REVIEW OF CROP CONDITIONS.

While weather conditions practical
ly throughout the country were reason
ably favorable to growing crops during
the month of August the crop report
issued Sept by the Department of
Agriculture did not indicate generally
much improvement in the condition of
the crops over that of a month ago.
Some improvement was shown in the
great staple crop Of corn, as OF Sep
tember over August /, but it amount
ed to only seven-tenths of | per cent in
the aggregate. The weld OF corn per
acre this year, as indicated by this re-
port, will be 23.6 bushels an acre, as
compared with PA bushels during the
last five years. The acreage OF corn
this year, however, is larger than it
was last year, and the probability is
that the crop, while it may be shorter
than it was last year, will not differ
greatly in quantity.
Wheat shows falling off of approXi-
mately 10 per cent in condition, as
compared with the average for the last
ten years and the yield an acre is about
two bushels to the acre less this year
than the average during the last five
years.
Oats also show a considerable falling
off both in condition and in average
Weld per acre. While the indicated
Weld for this year is 23.9 bushels an
acre, the final yield for 1910 was 3l.9
bushels, and the average yield during
the last i've years was 2S.4 bushels, the
indicated total yield for this year being
approximately 15 per cent less than
the average for the last five years
Taking into account both acreage
and condition, indications are that the
barley crop will be IA per cent less
than the average production of the
past five years.
Rice, tobacco, flax and hay all show
a heavy falling off in condition and in
dicated total yield. Potatoes, as was
indicated last month, will make short
crop. The condition of potatoes Sept.
! was trihe more than 10 per cent
below that of last year and nearly 3
cent poorer than it was month ago.
The total yield will be far below that
of last year--practically 20 per cent
and nearly % per cent below that of
the average for the last five years.
Prices paid to farmers in the United
States on September l. compared with
September | last year, for potatoes
averaged Sc per cent higher, barley "a
per cent higher, hay % per cent high
er, oats per cent higher, rye 4 per
cent higher corn 0,6 per cent lower,
chickens per cent lower, flax 7per
cent lower, butter per cent lower,
eggs 10 per cent lower, wheat II per
cent lower, and cotton Is per cent
lower.

two 30 minute periods in the afternoon,
thus an additional period is the result,
making eight periods a day in that de-
partment.

Rebellious hands are now upifted
'Gainst the land that gave them birth,
Seeking to bring dissolution
Der the greatest power on earth.
Shall we suffer these marauders
Der our sacred soil to roam?
Bringing death and desolation
Into many a Joyous home.
Shall we suffer them to trample
On the laws we most revere?
Shall we see our rights abolished
Amidst the gibe, the taunt, the sneer?
The men who framed the Constitution
Left it to our jealous care,
And all those who dare molest it
For conflict need prepare.
Then Freemen. to your country's res
cue,
Cowards off. we care not where,
Soldiers, to the din of battle
And rout Rebellion from it's lair.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.
Hiram McAllister died at the resi-
dence of his brother in St. Lawrence
county, N. Y, on September ;. He
was one of the early settlers of the
county having come here in 1887. The
first persons who reached Manitowoc
for the purpose of settlement came in
1885, and these were workmen who
were sent out by parties who intended
to come here later when clearings
were made. Uncle Hi, as he was fam
iliarly called was the pioneer farmer
of this county, being the first white
man who cultivated the soil in this
county. His coming antedated that of
=. Fl. Smith, who also came here in
1897, few days after the arrival of
Uncle Hi. Mr.. Smith and Mrs. Ed
wards, mother of 10, Edwards, are
now al that are left of the persons,
who came here in 1887. Mrs. Edwards
is now old, but Perry is still a hale,
well preserved man, and the only per-
son left who can tell of early events.
Mr.. McAlister was born in st. Law
renee county and at the time of his
death was over so years of age. He
was a model farmer and the McAllister
farm had q reputation throughout the
county for productiveness and beauty.
He leaves but one child, a daughter,
wife of Magnus Erickson of Sheboygan
Falls.
Candidate Estabrook was serenaded
on Friday night. a procession carry
ing torches marched through the
streets and when Mr.. Estabrook' s resi-
dence was reached the crowd was quite
large. The band played and then
speeches were made. The speakers
were G. G.. Sedgwick G. A. Forrest,
Emil Baensch and John Schuette. Mr.
Estabrook thanked his fellow citizens
for their manifestation Of good will and
the crowd dispersed.
Patrick Grey formerly of Meeme ant
now Of Kaukanna, and Miss Maggie
Egan former resident of Meeme are
soon to be married.
Max Rahr is one of the most pro
nounced anti-bachelors in this broat

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

MILITARY MATTERS. S.-Recruiting is
going on slowly in this county, proba-
bly, from the fact that there are too
many pots boiling, and too many men
ambitious Of being Colonies and Cap
tains.
In addition to Capt. Borcherdt, Mr..
Geo. f.. Waldo is recruiting for COM
pany, with what prospects we have not
heard.
VIM. w. Bates is also organizing a
company of Fusileers for Chicago
regiment.
Capt. Fred Becker is raising a com
pany for Col. Solomon's 9th regiment.
He is the best military man in the
county, and must succeed in his under
taking.
We have heard some talk on the
streets of movement being on foot
for the organization of a new company
to be composed principally of young
lrishmen in this and adjoining coun-
ties. There are enough to make a
good show, if the matter was handled
properly.

Bovine and Human Tuberculosis.

Ten years. research and investiga-
tion by royal commission of
English experts bring out the con-
clusion thai bovine and human tuber-
culosis are essentially the same.
This startling announcement empha-
sizes the Importance of clear under
standing of the great question, and
the necessity of wise procedure on the
part of state legislatures, municipali-
ties and producers. This last word
of the experts was made public a few
weeks ago in London through the
final report of the royal commission
on tuberculosis.
The report aims to establish the
claim that man is notably susceptible
to consumption communicated from
the COW, and that deaths of young
children from consumption are to a
considerable extent due to drinking
cows m1lk.-Northwest Farmstead.

Vincent Attacks school Law.

The state law providing that high
schools must have an enrolment OF
200 to be able to qualify for state aid
or be- in the accredited list of Sigh
schools of the state, is condemned by
DR.. George E. Vincent, president OF the
state university. Before meeting OF
the state high school board in St.
Paul be declared it was a false
standard of efficiency, as a pupil
coming from a small, well-equ5pped
high school may be better fitted than
one from larger school. 1t is
probable the next legislature Will be
asked to change this law, leaving it
to tie discretion of the high school
board to drop school from tho list,
and not fix hard and fast standard
of enrolment as test of efficiency.
Additional power to classify high
schools according to efficiency prob
ably will be asked.
