BADGER CROP BEST
UPPER WISCONSIN LANDS BETTER
THAN ILLINOIS
By A. D. Campbell

| In the past the people of Wisconsin
have had an erroneous idea of the
weather conditions affecting farming
in the upper counties. Ten years age
it would have been useless to tell a
southern Wisconsin, farmer that good
crops of corn could be grown in the
upper counties. And yet in the upper
counties for several years there has
been no difficulty in finding corn fields
in size up to 100 acres. At the Jean
Duluth stock farm on Aug. l, 1910, the
writer saw a corn field of 120 acres in
full tassel, and two days 'afterward
read in the crop news of the metropol-
itan papers that the corn of Oklahoma
and Kansas was but half tasseled.
This seems strange to those who are
not familiar with the situation which
confronts the farmer in the upper Wis
consin counties. Doubtless the one
most influential factor is in the drain
age of the country. The soil is such
that it is not inclined to take so much
water as to become water logged, 4"
the surplus water moving away rapidly
in the swiftly FLOWING rivers. Another
reason is that the rains are generally
more frequent and less torrential But
the fact remains that good crops of
corn are grown in all the upper Wis
cOnSln counties, and with the devaIon-
ment OF the country will come the
question whether the crops of those
counties will not equal, and possibly
excel, those of the older counties.
Another proof that the climate of the
upper counties is conducive to the rapid
growth and maturity of crops, lies in
the fact that the tobacco crop is plant
ed later and harvested earlier there
1hBn in the southern Wisconsin count
les. The writer has observed this fact
in three succeeding seasons, which
would appear to be sufficient to estab-
lish the fact that this condition is
permanent fact.
Again, Notwithstanding the misinfor-
nation that prevails, there is less dam
age from untimely frost in the upper
Wisconsin counties than in any unset
tied portion of the country. The sea-
sons are amply long to permit of the
planting of crops after dangerof frosts
is past and the rapid growing season
does the rest There is a week more
sunshine during the growing season in
upper Wisconsin than in the latitude
of ST. Louisa fact that it would be
we'll to remember.

WILL ADHERE TO
THEIR DEMANDS

CLEVELAND, March o5.-Consid era
tion by union officials of possible COM
promise in the wage demands Of the
miners In the btuminous coal fields Of
western Pennsylvania Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois today resulted IN decision that
when the conference with the operators
is resumed tomorrow the miners VIII ad-
here 10 their original demand for a 10 per
cent increase and shorter working hours.
Mine Workers OF America, after an all
day conference with the union executive
board. decided that il there is 10 be any
compromise on the miners demands the
proposal must come from the operators.
Already the operators are on record as
being willing 10 grant nothing more than
an extension Of the present wage agree
ment.
District presidents Of the union had
discussed with Mr. White a proposal that
the miners drop all their demands except
that for a per cent increase instead Of
10 per cent. Some OF the officials were
said TO favor the proposal rather than
cause the men to suspend work.
The members Of the unions policy
committee met today. but deferred action
on the anthracite situation pending the
outcome OF the bltuminous conference.
They announced that as all negotiations
between the operators and miners In the
anthracite regions have been broken off.
their recommendation Will be that opera :

that the question of strike shall be sub
