We are privileged to quote the follow
ing paragraph:
I'VE are finely impressed with
possibilities for the development of a
beautiful city at Grand Rapids. Ma
ture has done very much for you there
and if only man will do his share you
should have one of the beauty spots
Of earth. You have already made a
fine start in that direction.
We reproduce this paragraph simply
to show that our visitors have a very
favorable impression of our little city
and that it possesses a bright fu-
ture. We hope every citizen will
be imbued with that same spirit and
constantly work to that end.

49 BUSHELS OF
RYE PER ACRE ON
THE COLLEGE FARM

Yields of Wisconsin pedigree grain
on the farm of the College Of Agri-
culture of the University of Wfscon-
sin this year surpass any previous
ly obtained. Pedigree rye yielded
forty-nine bushels by weight per &C
re on a field of six acres. Last year
half of this field produced alfalfa
which was plowed under in the fan.
The other half produced wheat. The
rye crop this year on the alfalfa half
IS much better than on the wheat
half, though no additional fertilizer
was applied to either. One PRINCIPAL
reason for the rye crop at the col
lege giving exceedingly heavy Yields
is the fact that the agronomv- de-
partment has been breeding rye for
fifteen years through careful selec-
ton. This pedigree rye mas been dis.
seminated throughout the state so
that there are now about 1900 centers
from which pedigree seed may be OBJ
tanned.

AGAIN At THE
COUNTY JAIL

The penman who was recently re-
leased and driven out of the city by
the police is again a boarder at the
county jail. The maker of fancy let
ters and flourishes went to Nekoosa,
was picked up there and brot back
to the jail here. Winter is coming
and the Weary WiIIies will be try
ing to get a nice long Jail sentence
so that they may have comfortable
quarters and good food during the
cold weather, A stone pile would
be of double value to the city right
now. 1t would produce stone that
could be used in improving the street
and it would soon rid the city Of the
undesirable hobo. Dusty Rhodes does
not take kindly to making little
stones out of big ones.
