methods allow the farmers family TO
have green vegetables, either fresh or
put up" the entire year.
We do not realize what wealth we
have in the line OF fruit, If the right
kinds be grown and the right methods
pursued. In the early attempts to
raise fruit in the state too little regard
has been paid to our rainfall and other
climatic conditions. We have endeav-
ored to grow fruit unadapted to the
region. All Of the items mentioned
above are dependent directly and i'm
mediately upon the rainfall that we
get. The Dry Farming congress to be
held at Dickinson will discuss these
different topics fully and adequately
as the time permits.

other hand, it is difficult to determine
the proper height of topping when the
flower head first makes it's appearance.
The logical time to remove the flower
head is soon after the flower stalk has
heightened sufficiently to expose all the
leaves separately. Low topping is
more satisfactory as it increases the
uniformity in the size of the leaves.
High topping does not materially in
crease the yield.
The natural tendency of all plants is
to produce seed before they die. After
topping, the tobacco plant makes an
effort to produce seed from suckers and
as a result they make a very rapid
growth. The suckers should always be
broken off before Towering. If allow
ed to become too large they are always
difficult to remove, due to the forma-
ton of woody fibre in the stems. 1t is
customary in Wisconsin to sucker only
once, and that Immediately before har-
vesting Better results could be OBJ
tanned by going over the field twice.
The first time removing only the three
or four largest suckers and just before
harvesting remove the remaining ones.

The grower should always bear in
mind the principal object of cultivation
that of conserving the soil moisture
which evapocates very rapidly from any
surface not protected with mulch.
This is especially necessary in seasons
Of drought. Frequent shallow cultiva-
ton during dry weather which appar-
emily does no more than stir the dust
mulch, may be worth ten times its cost
in holding the crop back until the
drought breaks. A shallow mulch one
to two inches in depth will conserve
the moisture as well as one twice as
deep.
Level cultivation IS most desirable.
The method Of billing tobacc" practiced
by many has no advantag, ), and be-
sides making it inconvenient to harvest
on such fields, it increases the loss of
soil moisture.
TOPPING AND SUCKERING.
Growers disagree as to the correct
time for the removal of the flower
heads of tobacco. Nothing can be
gained by leaving the top on until the
majority of the plants are in full bloom
and the stem becomes woody. On the

isfactorily in this way than by hand
planting. During hot, dry weather,
planting should preferably be done only
in the afternoon as the plants are liable
to "burn out" Other essentials for
hot weather planting are to have the
plants we'll hardened off to the sun,
stocky in form, and set well up to the
leaves. A spindly plant set with por-
ton of the stem above ground will wilt
rapidly and cause the previously shaded
stem of the plant to become fully ex-
posed to the suns rays. The injury re-
sulting to the stem will usually kill the
plant, whereas the burning of the
leaves will hardly check it's growth.
The distance apart of transplanting
in Wisconsin varies from "a to SO inches
between the rows, and Is to "A inches
apart in the row. The closeness of
planting should be determined largely
by the fertility of the soil and the type
of tobacco grown. Large hybrid types
on fertile soil are very difficult to work
and frequently become very ragged un-
less the plants are set even greater dis
tances than those mentioned. On the
other hand, close planting tends to pro-
duce a leaf of better texture and color.
1t is for this reason partly that the Ha-
vana types of tobacco give the most

Whether Hanson leaned from the
car and was struck by an upright or

vehicle by it's speed is not positively
known. His body left the car as it

up unconscious. His skull was frac

Yields to be obtained.
CULTIVATING THE YOUNG CROP.
The most valuable cUltivating tool
for the tobacco grower IS the one
horse, fine tooth, lever adjustable Gull
tivator. This should be put in use
few days after planting TO produce
fine mulch between tbs rows. 1t may
also be used for the succeeding three
or four civilizations, and where the
ground is in fine filth it is preferable to
use no other cultivator. Where weeds
get start, however, and the ground
becomes hard, growers find it prefer
able to use a shovel or sulky Guilt
vator. Care must be exercised in using
these not to cultivate too deep, as this
will often injure the root system to
such an extent as to check the growth
of the plants. The ''horse hoe" has
largely superseded hand hoeing on most
tobacco farms with large acreage.
The work done is not as satisfactory as
hand hoeing except in loose soils, free
from weeds. Hand hoeing should still
be resorted to on the more clayey and
weedy soils.

escape of moisture. The roller or
planker is used for the purpose of com
pacting the soil and bringing it into
fine filth, but should be followed imme-
diately by light narrowing. The early
preparation of the land will also be
found to control the major portion of
the weeds as they will start early and
can be killed much more readily before
than after setting the plants. The
most satisfactory method of controlling
cutworms is fall blowing which ex-
poses the larvae to the killing effect of
the freezing and thawing of the sur
face soil.
TRANSATLANTIC INTO THE FIELD.
Transplanting is done in Wisconsin
between June l and July s. Uusally
neither the early nor the late settings
give the best results. No fixed time
can be recommended as this varies
with the year and the time the plants
are ready for transplanting. June 10
to 25, however, is usually conceded to
bring the most favorable results. The
plants are set with transplanting ma
chine. With two good choppers the
plants can be set very much more sat

PREPARING THE FIELD FOR PLANTING.

PREPARING THE FIELD FOR PLANTING.
The preparation of the tobacco soil
should be such as is most conducive to
perfect filth, retention of moisture and
destruction of weeds and insect larvae.
Fall blowing should always be practic-
ed where possible, especially on sod
lands. Late spring blowing always has
some disadvantages. and in seasons of
drought it is often fatal to the crop.
Tobacco soils most frequently receive
no cultivation whatever during ten
months of the year The surface soil
being devoid of any mulch for that
length of time presents condition
most favorable for the loss of soil
water, which could be retained in a
large part for the use of the crop. For
this reason, working the land early in
the spring and constantly, keeping a
light dust mulch on the surface until
planting time will materially aid the
plants to make good start, even if
rain does not fall until two or three
weeks after setting.
A practice which should be discour-
aged among growers is leaving the
ground rolled or planked for any length
of time. This condition aids the rapid

RHODY REDS VANISH
FROM HEhNERY Of
GEORGE W. SHERWOOD
Roost Owned by Richard F.
Boyle Stripped of its Poultry
by Night Prowling Chicken
Thieves

wholesale chicken thefts in the
North End before daybreak this
morning have caused the owners of
poultry to equip their hen houses
with locks and to prepare their shot
guns for prompt and vigorous use
against the nocturnal proWlers-
George w. Sherwood, who lives at
Savoy and North Main streets, went
out at $50 today to the hen house,
80 feet from his back door to feed
his prize collection of r. I. Reds.
80 in all He found. the door of the
roost wide open and all the poultry
gone
A few minutes later he heard from
his neighbor, Richard +. Doyle, a
glazier, living on the opposite corner,
Doyle had experienced a similar loss,
16 fowls, all there were in the hen
house. Doyle's lock had been
wrenched of. Sherwood had no lock
on his building.
Neighbors told the victims that be-
tween and 6 o'clock they heard a
disturbance in the hen houses, and
about the same time the rumble of
n wagon over the frosty road. They
believe the thieves came from dis
lance, driving away with their loot
so as to gain a long lead before the
theft could be discovered at day
break
