Considerable excitement was
aroused in Bruce Sunday when the
news was circulated that several of
the business places of that village
had been robbed some time Satur-
day night or Sunday morning
e. S. Spear discovered that morn
ing that some one had entered his
general store some time in the night,
by forcing aside a wooden bar used
as a prop to the basement door. The
thief had been forced to push off
the hasp of the trap door leading to
the basement to gain entrance to
the store. The cash register had
been rifled, but only 19 pennies were
found there He then pried off the
steel top of the register. The only
merchandise the loss of which was
noted was a pipe and some tobacco.
Another place entered the same
night was the saloon of Daniel
Skelly. Between $40 and SIS in small
coins was taken, entrance having
been gained by breaking a rear win
low. On a window sill in the saloon
was found a billy"
The saloon of JOS. Beranek had
also been entered, by forcing off a

climbing over a transom Of an inner
door. Here, too, the register had
been rifled and about $500 in money,
some stamps and a ladies' gold
watch-chain taken.
The miscreant also took the morn
ing limited, but only as far as Gamer
on, where he was apprehended Sun
day and brought to Bruce the next
lay. The suspect gave his name as
Chas. King. In his suitcase were
found over 200 pennies, 65 nickels,
81 dimes, the gold chain taken from
Beranek's, bar of soap, wire de-
vice that could be used to pick locks.

Reforming the Teachers

A document issued by the National
Bureau of Education sets forth the
proposition that rural school teach
ers are positive force to depopulate
the country districts. The courses Of
study the method of teaching, the
general tone and influence of the
country schools tend to drive the
young to the towns" This is by no
means a new discovery. But that
rural teachers have been, and often
still are, such an inimical force, is
due chiefly to the system to which,
until recently, they were obliged to
conform if they would obtain an ed
certificate. Now, however, that sys-
tenn is being gradually reformed by
the introduction of courses directly
bearing upon country life; by the re-
vision of textbooks, so that exam
pies and exercises shall be based up
on agricultural affairs, and by the
exaltation of rural topics as equally
interesting and mind-expanding with
those of the counting-room and fac
tory. Even the Bureau of Education
has caught some inspiration of activ-
| ity in the interest of education to-
ward the farm and has compiled
"A Course of Study for the Prepara-
| free distribution to those aspiring to
the greatest usefulness in the coun-
, try school.

may think they could have done bet
ter if they had gone west would do
well to examine the census returns
and make computations, using the
United States Crop Reporter farm
values" These farm values charge
the freight to the farmers who have
to ship their crops a thousand miles
or more. This is as it should be.
The people who are trying to induce
good Wisconsin farmers to go off
to some remote corner of the earth
looking for the place where the rain
bow comes down, don't say any
thing about farm value" Of crops
no, they quote the yield that Jim
Jones" or some other fellow pro-
duced some exceptional yield, not
the average of a county as the Wis
consin Advancement Association does
What this association tells the pub
lie is what the average mantle or
dinary man-does, and we get the
figures from the most authoritative
source, the U. S. 1910 census.
The April, 1912 Crop Reporter of
the u. S. department of Agriculture
has just arrived and / have compared
Rusk county, Wisconsin, crops with
those of Fergus county, Montana, TAX
ing the acreage and yield of crops
just as they were grown and apply

is fair as it shows the actual aver

per acre 80. -. -. ....$ 54.07
Fergus county, Mont cash val
ue per acre -. -. 80. 22.38

county -. -. -. ....Y .69
This comparison is with the best
agricultural county in Montana
conceded to be the best | selected
the best county for the reason that
| want to give the ''other fellow"
some show in the comparison. In
these days of Commercialism people
are inclined to insist upon showing
of net results. We will not say any
thing about irrigation which in Fer
gus county costs good many thou
sands of dollars, but it might be well
to consider net returns in a general
way. Let us suppose that in each
county it costs $12 per acre to pro-
duce the crops, which is approximate
ly correct. In that event we would
deduct $12 per acre and the following
result remains:
Rusk County, net results ....$ 42.07
Fergus County net results 49,. 1898
If comparison were made with VAL
ley county, Montana, where about
one-third of the land is irrigated at
great expense and $12 per acre is de-
Quoted as cost of production, the net
returns are:

With favorable conditions from now

ty bushel mark. The heads are I'M

promising a big crop. The winter rye
harvest win be In full progress next
week, and that crop is already assured.
The warm weather has greatly bene-
fitted the corn crop, which is now com
ing rapidly,
Harry Goddard says that the last
rains have done untold good in the
vicinity of Mckenzie and Wing. Po-
tatoes are forming and the local mar
ket is now furnishing new local grown
potatoes. Harvest help will soon be
a serious problem, and If favorable
conditions continue, it will be a diff
cult thing to get enough help to har-
vest the crop.
