CROP CONDITIONS
IN STATE IMPROVE
Marked Increase of Grain Sup
ply Shown in June Report.
DELAY IN ALL PLANTING
Winter Rye Has Suffered From Hail.
But All Other Cereals Are Better
Listed-Northern Counties Rhow
Greater Cleared Land Acreage.

Madison. crop conditions in
Wisconsin compiled by the state
board of agriculture from reports re-
ceived June /, compared with the
May crop report, shows improved
conditions of winter crops with the
exception of winter rye.
The excessive amount of moisture
in all sections of the state has kept
the soil in such condition that corn
and potato planting has been sonsid-
erably delayed. Wisconsin crop cor
respondents, almost without eXcep-
ton, report a most favorable out
look.
A new feature in connection with
the gathering of crop statistics has
been inaugurated by including the
increased acreage of cleared lands in
the counties comprising the north
ern division. Several of the north
ern counties have reported sub
stantial increase of acreage in clear
ed lands as compared with the acre
age of 1911.
The report shows decrease in the
general average of pigs and lambs
saved as compared with the year
1911. This is accounted for by rea-
son of the fact that heavy losses of
early pigs and lambs was reported
in many localities.

WOULD AMEND LAW
IN AID OF SETTLERS
Present Bond Act Declared TO
Be an Utter Failure.
TO MAKE COUNTY LIABLE
State Board of Public Affairs Will
Submit Results of Investigation to
the Wisconsin Leg, stature at Next
Session.

Acknowledgements of the utter
failure of the law passed by the last
legislature to aid settlers in clear
ing their land, the state board Of
public affairs will seek to have the
law amended so as to make counties
Jointly liable with farmers for the
bond issues Authorized by the act.
The present law provides that TWEEN
ty-five settlers residing in any coun-
ty could ask the county to issue
bonds up to certain percentage of
the value of their lands, the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the bonds to-
De turned over to the farmers for
the clearing and development of
their lands.
Aggregations of new settlers in
several counties were organized with
the intention of securing funds in
this way, but not a single set Of
bonds have been sold. The investi-
cation of the board has brought to
light that investors did not care to
take these bonds, as tho law dis
tinctly provided that the county
could not be held liable.
The board of public affairs has
had number of expert investigators
throughout northern Wisconsin for
the past six months making a thor
ough analysis as to the best meth
DDS to rapidly develop northern Wis
consin, and the results of the inves-
zrlt hxr -
has now been tabulated and placed
before the board.
The board has arranged with
Prof. Ely of the University of Wis
consin to go over the results of this
investigation and outline tangible
plans on which legislation can be
submitted to the next legislature.

DRAINAGE POLICY BOOSTED
Supreme Court Decision Holds thai
One Drainage District May AS
sess Another for Benefits.

Madison.--The drainage policy in
the state of Wisconsin was given a
decided boost when the supreme
court decided that one drainage dis
trict can assess another for benefits.
This ruling was made in tie case of
the Rattlesnake Drainage District VS..
Koshkonong Mud-creek District. This
was the first test in the state upon
the constitutionality of this phase OF
drainage law. The Rattlesnake dis
trlct lies in the towns of Sun Prairie.
Medina, Deerfield and Cottage Grove.
while the Koshkonong district lies
below and adjoining this in the
town OF Cottage Grove, Deerfeld and
on to Lake Mills in Jefferson county.
the whole comprising about $500
acres of rich low land.
The Rattlesnake district was form
ed IN the fall of 1908 and the Kosh-
konong district the January follow
ing. 1t was found that the upper
district as organized would have no
outlet for its drainage save through
the territory of the lower. 1t was
then proposed that the upper district
be reorganized so as to take in part
OF the. lower, but the commissioners
and their attorneys could not agree.
me lower district proposed to tax
the upper $4,000. The case was
tried in circuit court and the jury
returned an assessment against the
upper of S1,515. This finding was
upheld by the supreme court.

Enthusiastically one-twelfth

dairymen in one year produced 49,

$50, 628,000 If Wisconsin's total
butter output had been packed in
sixty pound tubs, and shipped in re-

would have taken more than 100
trains of 80 cars each, or a single
train about twenty-seven miles in
