WISCONSIN CROPS
By E. ]. DELWICHE
Wisconsin College of Agriculture

Few sections of the country are
adapted to growing greater va
riety of crops than can be raised in
this region. Throughout the section
the grasses and clovers, when once
introduced grow abundantly except
on certain sandy areas where the soil
lacks moisture-holding capacity.
Grasses.-June grass and the COM
mon white clover grow wild almost
everywhere and soon cover the land
after 1t is cleared and pastured for
few years. The seeds OF tame grasses
were brought in with the hay used as
forage for horses employed in lumber
camps. Here the settler has tame
pastures at his disposal without the
expense of seeding.
CloVer.-Clover raising for seed
can be followed with profit in many
localities. At Iron river and Superior
sub-stations. experiments with alfalfa
are now in progress. While this valu-
able forage plant may not be adapted
TO all classes of soils and locations
the experiments indicate that it will
succeed on well drained clay soils
even of the heaviest types. Alfalfa

Catholics Have First Chapel.

CatnOIicS nave FIRST Cnapel.
Wisconsin has long been recognized
for it's innovations and new ideas.
Among the first of these in religious
field is the establishment of a secular
church at a state university.
st. Pauls university chapel of the
University of Wisconsin is the first
institution of it's kind in America, and
for that reason its work is being
watched with interest, not only by
clergy of the Catholic church, but by
spiritual men of the entire country.
Catholics of Wisconsin realizing the
necessity for religious training among
their sons and daughters at the uni
versity, have contributed about $4,000
toward a sum of $4,000 raised for
Catholic institution at Madi-
son. A chapel was erected in 1909
with a seating capacity of over 400
persons, and the experiment was tried.
1t proved a great success, for every
seat in the building is filed every
Sunday. The Rev. H. G. Hengell, for
a few years assistant at the Holy
Redeemer church, Madison, is pastor.
He is a young man, and received an
education of four years among Euro
pean Jesuits and years of training in
United States schools.

Counties Seeking States Road Aid.

OF the II counties in the state all
except siX-Burnett, Calumet, Iron.
Ozaukee, Pepin and Vilas-have petit
toned for state aid under the new
state highway law
Four of these counties are in the
northern and less settled portion of
the state, but it is significant that the
others, Calumet and Ozaukee, are
among the oldest and most conserva-
tive counties in the state and among
those counties which returned a ma
jority against the constitutional
amendment permitting the state to
aid in highway construction.
In distributing the Wisconsin state
highway fund of three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars available for
construction in 1912, each county was
credited with the amount it paid into
the fund in state taxes. Then the
amount petitioned for was granted as
the first. allotment if not in excess of
the amount it had paid into the fund.
The amounts not petitioned for were
then divided proportionately among
counties of the state asking for
amounts in excess of their first allot-
ment, such counties being found en-
titled this year to 37.2 per cent of the
excess asked for
The amount paid into the fund by
the counties of the state of Wisconsin
was three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, while the amount petitioned
for by counties was $453,417 and the
aggregate of the amounts not petition
ed for by twenty-eight counties which
failed to ask for their full quota, $61.-
PSI.
This last amount was divided as a
second allotment among ~ counties
which had asked for a sum in excess
OF their proportion of the $3.50. 900.
Douglas county has asked for it's exact
proportion, and the six counties which
did not avail themselves of the terms
of the act. of course, received nothing.

Madison-The executive board of

met with the Federated Trades coun-
Gil at Madison for the purpose of map

system in the state prison at Waupun
Union labor objects to the contract
system because the state loses money
through it's method of administration.
Firms which do business with the
state by contract pay the prisoners at
the rate of IS cents day, but no pro-
vision is made for reimbursing the
state for such expenditures as light,
Office work nor maintenance of the
prison factories. 1t is also charged
that under the contract system, the
state makes no effort to enter con-
tracts SO that the institution is con-

Brockhausen, secretary of the board.
Firms which submit bids do not
care anything about the convicts ex-
cept the money they can make out of
them, and they try to get the work
done as cheaply as possible. Another
thing which should be investigated is
the charge which has been made that
bids are not always given to the hign-

First Glass Corn and Plenty of 1t Is
Grown In Northern Wisconsin.

sowed at Superior in 1908, yielded one
ton per acre the same season as sown,
and in 1909, over two tons in two cut
tings, without any manure.
Small Grains.-Small grains of all
kinds grow well, particularly on the
heavier soils. Wheat, barley, oats,
rye and speltz are successfully grown
and have given average returns per
acre higher than is the average for
the United States. On the light
sandy soils, buckwheat is a paying
crop and yields of over 20 bushels per
acre on new land have been obtained.
On clay soils peas for canning and
for grain is a very profitable crop
The quality of the grain raised is of
the best. The moderately warm
weather and many bright days with
a good supply of moisture are un-
doubtedly responsible for the superior
quality of northern Wisconsin grains
Barley gives best returns on the sub
dued loan soils.
Corn.-Early maturing varieties of
corn grow we'll and mature in this
part of the state. Experiments at the
sub-station at Iron River in bayfield,
county, during the past four seasons.

giving an average yield of nearly 40
bushels of shelled corn per acls. The
total weight OF the corn, at cutting

IL tons per acre. An earlier Iariety,

of grain and nearly as much stoyer
per acre as the former Co-oI erative
experiments with farmers have also
been carried on showing tina; good
corn can be ripened in most bsctions
of northern Wisconsin, and sor Tod

number of sound teats sometimes is
considered an indication of prolificacy

Prolificacy usually is family
characteristic and 1t is wise to
select a prospective brood sow from
a large litter of robust pigs. The
strongest pigs of litter, most suit
able for prospective sows. usually
nurse from the teats nearest to the
front of the udder. The prospective
SOW may therefore be chosen before

True Honesty.

ITO be honest is more than % re-

purse, more than paying the exact
number of dollars you owe. Honesty
means far more than not defrauding
other people financially. 1t means
nothing less than not defrauding your
self by your own prejudices and Judg-
ments. 1t means dealing fairly and
squarely with yourself; looking at
yourself with the same eyes with
which you dissect the conduct of your
arsociates.s-Clara K. Bayltss.
