BADGER CROPS LOOK GOOD
Report of State Agricultural Board
Shows Normal Condition-Fruit
Prospects Are Excellent.

Madison.-Crop conditions through
out Wisconsin are about normal, with
slightly better prospects than in 1910,
according TO the spring farm crop
report issued by the state board OF
agriculture More favorable weather
conditions than existed last year are
forcasted for this spring and a cor
responding good effect is expected
on the summer produce.
The only crops that seemed to have
suffered thus far, and are farther
behind than they were last year, are
clover and alfalfa. although there
seems to be slight decrease in win
ter wheat, barley and spring rye.
Prospects for fruit never were
brighter than this year. The late
spring, so different from that of last
year, when all the buds were out be-
fore the heavy snow fall and frost
late in April, has proved boon to
the fruit growers of the state in that
the trees have not blossomed until
practically every fear of another frost
has passed.
Although summer vegetation is not
as far advanced as usual, owing to
the cold weather prevailing through
out the spring, practically no damage
is reported.
A summary of the reports secured
from the state board of agriculture
correspondents throughout the state
give the following estimates of pres
snt conditions of the principal crops,
100 representing high average con-
dition:
Winter wheat, 81; clover meadows.
70; winter rye, 90; alfalfa. Sc; tim
othy meadows. IS; pastures. 81.

0IETz SPRINGS A SURPRISE.
Produces Photographs Which Contra
diets States Witnesses Claims.

Hayward, Wis.-In his efforts tc
present defense against charges OF
numbering Deputy Sheriff Harp, John
+. Dietz made a miserable failure. He
opened his case with the usual mo-
lions to the court that the defendants
be discharged and did 1t in good
legal form, though denied. He then
surprised the state by Introducing a
number of photographs of the barn
where it was alleged that he was
hiding when he shot Harp. The pho
tographs strongly contradicted the
claims of the state witnesses that
Harp was shot through a port hole
in the roof of the barn. the photo
graphs showing no such holes.
The state later admitted privately,
that probably the court would have
been forced to grant motion for the
discharge of Mrs. Dietz and Leslie,
in view of the meager evidence pre-
sented against them, but Dietz made
his motion including all three. and
failed to win his point.

White Flag-Insurgent Lsader in
Possession of Shot-Riddled City.

Ell Paso. Texas.-After defending
Juarez for three days from the rebel
attack, Gen. Navarro, head of the
federal forces, ran up the white flag
in token of surrender to the insur-
recto forces under Gen. Francisco l..
Madero.
The rebel leader himself entered
the city to take possession of It and
the military post.
The rout of the federais came after
about two hours of severe fighting in
the streets, in which the rebels used
dynamite bombs with effect, and
there were many desperate struggles
at close range.
Though Gen. Navarro, with a small
command, after defeat seemed GER
tain, resolutely held out in the bar
racks near the center of the town,
the rebels had taken most of his
artillery and directed their fire from
cannon and rifle at the last federal
stronghold
The dead number eighty and
wounded $50. A large part of the
town is in ruins.

MEDICATION OF CHEESE.

The department of agriculture holds
that IT has demonstrated by actual
experiments that cheese is one of the
most nutritious Of foods. Even the
much-maligned Welsh rarebit is not
only harmless, but actually health
full. says the New Orleans Picayune.
According TO the agricultural depart
ment there is no bad cheese. but
some cheese is much better than
others. In order to test cheese as a
food thoroughly. the experts OF the
department confined willing subjects
for a certain number of days, feed
ing them upon cheese Of various de-
grees OF ripeness or rottenness, and
In all cases the subjects Of the ex-
periments thrived on the cheesy diet.
Instead of becoming surfeited with
cheese. the persons experimental
with liked the diet better at the close
OF the experiments than they did at
the start As result Of the expert
ments the agricultural department
holds that one pound of cheese is !
equal in nutritive value to two pounds
of any fresh meat or eggs and to
three pounds Of fish. Heretofore |
Americans have eaten cheese rather |
as a relish than as a food. and trav-
elers in Europe have pitied the poor
peasants of the continent because |
they were content with a meal Of |
cheese and bread washed down by |
beer or a little light wine. II now
appears that the poor European peas
ant was actually getting more nour-
fshment out Of this cheese dinner |
than our own American workingmen
were getting out of their meat diet.

The Trend of Events

The judiciary committee of the
United States senate will most prob
ably at it's next meeting report IA
vorably on resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution pro-
viding for the election of United
States senator's by popular vote.
1t is believed that all of the Demo-
cratic senator's on the committee
favor the resolution and two, if not
three, of the Republican senators are
also in favor of the amendment.
The resolution will probably fol-
low the form of the Tucker resolu-
ton, which passed the house in 1892.
This resolution provided that the
qualification of the electors entitled
to vote for United States senators in
the several states shall be the same
as those qualified to vote for the
most numerous branch of the state
legislatures.
Now this is in line with real, pro-
gressive Democracy.
Everything must be progressive
