Better Farming and Bigger
Profits.

Assemblyman Kruger, the cham
pion barley grower of the world,
recently gave to the Wisconsin Ad-
vancement association some points
on his practices, one of which is to
sow catch crops of clover in all
fields. One of the results is larger
crops of better grain, but another
is that he is able to maintain %
head of cows with only Is acres of
land devoted exclusively to pastur-
age. In the spring the cows have
the clover on land not fall plowed,
then they go on the well started
regular pasture until the rye is
harvested when they are turned up
on the clover in the rye field, then
follow the clover in the barley and
wheat fields. Then the cows go
back to the regular pasture until
the corn is out of the way and have
that field to the end of the season.

A GENUINE SURPRISE

Rev. and Mrs. NJ Thorsen of the
Rush River congregation, town of
Martell, opened their eyes in won
der last Friday afternoon, when
they looked through the door and
saw the yard filled with rigs, and
people with smiling faces and with
baskets on their arms, coming to-
wards them and taking possession
of the parsonage. Rev. and Mrs.
Thorsen were hurried into their
wraps and led into the yard where
they were introduced to beautiful,
gentle horse with new harness and
blanket. The horse. was soon
hitched to the cutter and given into
the possession of the venerable
couple, who went for a short drive.
They came back much pleased with
the gentle animal, and welcomed
the people right and left. Mean
while the ladies opened their bas-
kets and a bountiful repast was
served TO all present.
Rev. Rosenquist, in behalf of the
congregation, then spoke of the
occasion for the surprise, and said
it was with great pleasure that the
Rush River congregation presented
this horse to their esteemed pastor,
who has faithfully served his con-
gregation, and shared their joys
and sorrows for thirty seven years.
He also presented Mrs. Thorsen a
sum of money to be used at her
pleasure.
Rev. Thorsen, in his speech,
thanked Rev Rosenquist for the
beautiful words he had spoken. He
then thanked the congregation for
their presence and their useful gift,
and especially Mr. Ole Larson and
Mr.. Ole Olsen who had succeeded
in getting contributions for the
gift.
After spending social hour, the
people went home feeling they had
enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.
Those from a distance who par
ticipated in the festivities of the
afternoon were Rev. and Mrs.
Rosenquist of Baldwin, and Mr..
and Mrs. H. A. Hagestad and Mr..
C. N. Wiger of River Falls. xxx

BASKET BALL
High School Loses Twice

Last Saturday night the High
School boys made their 1912 debut
in basket ball before a home audi
ence at Opera Hall, staging two
games, one between the Normal
second team and the High second,
and the other between Prescott
High and the local high.
A good, big, enthusiastic crowd
was on hand when the whistle blew
TO call the first game at SIS. When
the two teams faced each other, no
one who knows basket ball had any
doubt as to the outcome. The
High presented a team of little
fellows, genuine second team tim
Der. The Normal presented a team
of practically men grown, three of
whom have played on the Normal
first and are very little if any worse
than the other first team players.
The High was weakened also by
loss through accident of it's center,
whose size would have helped to
even matters up in the middle of
the floor. But if the High was out
classed in size, it's players never
quailed, but went into the game
with a rush and for ten minutes
fairly played their bigger opponents
off their feet. Then reach and
weight began to tell, and the first
half ended IA to 7 in favor of the
Normal. The second half was all
Normals, and the final score was IS
to Z. Even so, the High second
need not feel in any way disgraced.
The real game of the evening
came when Prescott and River Falls
faced each other. Prescott has a
good team, one of the very best
around here, and River Falls is new
to the game. Nevertheless, the
game was one of the fastest and
best ever pulled off here. The first
half gave score of l6 to in favor
of the visitors. At the opening of
the second half the local boys went
after the visitors hammer
tongs, and for a few minutes out
played them at all points, but they
could not keep their advantage, and
Prescott forged farther ahead final
ly winning by a score of 80 to 18
But it was a good game, and the
local team was in il all the time,
and showed that it can play basket
ball of high order. During prac-
tically all the game, the locals floor
work was superior to Prescott S,
but the visitors were more expert
at shooting baskets, and their su.
periority here won them the game,
The locals will appear at the Opera
House again Friday of this week
when they take on Ellsworth. AS
Ellsworth is not Prescott's equal, the
game ought to be hummer. Come
out and see it. AS curtain raiser
there will be a game between the
Woodmen and the Foresters. As
both camps possess some expert
basket ball sharks, this curtain
raiser promises to be fast, furious
and for gore. Don't miss it. The
Woodmen-For ester Imbroiglio be
gins at 8 O'Clock, and the Ellsworth
High game will follow Immediately
| thereafter.

AT THE NORMAL
The New Agricultural School

The proposed agricultural school
in connection with the Normal is
accommodating interest. The Presi-
dent is studying courses of study
of agricultural schools before out
lining the course TO be submitted at
the next meeting of the Board. AS
| educational agriculture is new de-
parture in Normal schools most of
the work will be original. The
nearest prototype is the present sg-
ricultural college.
Dean Russell of the Agricultural
College of the State University is
greatly interested in the proposed
school of Educational Agriculture
to be established at the River Falls
State Normal school. He will as
sist the president in planning the
courses and will watch the develop.
ment of the school with intense in
terest. He says that River Falls
will undoubtedly set the standard
of this phase of work in state Nor
mails for the whole United States.
A few Normal schools have good
departments of elementary agri-
culture, but the development of a
real school of educational agricul-
ture is yet to be done by state
Normals. River Falls has an OPP
portunity of leadership in this
movement.
When the course is completed
and presented to the Board it will
undoubtedly be the best that can
be made before being tried.
The present school grounds are
inadequate for the development of
the proposed school, hence steps
are being taken to secure additional
land. Regent Thompson was in
structed to secure an option upon
adjacent land with the view of
purchasing it.
The President has arranged
ready reference file for members of
the graduating classes to facilitate
their appointment to positions as
teachers. The file consists of an
information blank, giving the gen
eral qualifications Of the students
and recommendation relating to
particulars. Requests for teachers
have already begun to come IN.
Professor Wright, accompanied
by Mrs. Thorson, sang three songs
at the general exercise period We'd

A dramatization of parts of Long
fellows "Riawatha" was given by
pupils of the Seventh and Eighth
grades on the 9th of February, the
anniversary of the birth of Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow. The cut.
ting of the piece, which was orig
inal with Miss Coggeshall, empha.
sized the prophesy and its fulfill
ment and the symbolical parts Ct
the poem. The dram tization Ger
tainly was a refreshing and inter
esting effort, and credit to those
who took part in it.

HIGHLY D|SCUSTEO
WITH WHEAT CROP
Some Farmers State They
Will Never Again Plant
the Fickle- Crop.

Smothered by the ice and snow
fields which enveloped the fields of
Wayne county during the past win
ter, the wheat crop of the county for
this year will be one of the smallest
in the history of the county.
Evidence of the apparent inadapti-
bility of the crop to the soil in Wayne
county, has completely disgusted a
number of the farmers in the county
and few had made the declaration
that they will never again plant
wheat"
Never before, it is asserted, has the
prospects for crop been so hopeless,
and never before, growers and dealers
declare, has the winter had such a de-
teriorating effect upon the crop.
ut is without doubt the smallest
crop Wayne county has had in a num-
Der of years." was the statement of a
prominent farmer when interviewed.
Farmers who have lived in the coun-
ty for any length of time will all CO.
incide in this opinion. l believe that
the acreage will be but five or ten per
cent of that of last year Last years
crop was fairly large. The local wheat
market, l believe, will practically come
to standstill-with a big demand and
no wheat to fill the ORDERS

(National News Association)

BRUSSELS, June 6.-The political
outlook throughout Belgium threaten
ed a crisis today while the labor situ-
alton, which has arisen through the
post election riots, is growing more
serious daily. There was continuous
fighting in the coal mining districts

moved throughout the Empire. In the
commune of Mons fifteen rapid-fire
guns have been scattered throughout
mining villages in the event that mobs
give actual battle to soldiers
The strike, called by socialists after
their defeat by the clericals at the
polls is growing. Orders of conserva-
tives for the men to continue at work
until a peaceful way can be found to
bring about ELECTORAL reforms are dis
regarded. A general strike was declar-
ed today at Liege and also at Borinage.
At Lalouviere $4,000 men are out.
Five thousand men quit work at Ec-
aussines is the commune of Mons in
the heart of the coal fields.
The heaviest body of troops is sta
toned at Quaregnon, four miles from

NEW YORK, June 6.-Fearing that
revelations to be made by the house
banking and currency committee in
it's investigation of the so-called
Money Trust may be seized upon in
the presidential campaign and used as
political capital, Chairman Pujo of the
committee announced today when the
committee met in this city at the Gus
toms house that the real investiga-
ton would not be started until after
the elections next November He said
also that the committee wished to
have it's powers fully outlined by con-
gress before it started to call witness
es to get at the true inwardness of
the alleged money monopoly. That
part of the statement relating to the
political aspect of the investigation
follows:
The committee considers it mad,
visable in any event to conduct this
important and far reaching economic
inquiry during the heat and excite
ment of a political campaign and has
not at the outset known any such pur-
pose"
