Missionary Meeting at 5oscobel.

The Platteville district meeting of the
Womans Foreign Missionary Society
of the M, Il. church was held at BOsCo-
bel, Nov. II and Is. Because of the
difficulty of reaching Boscobel, from
most points on the district, the meeting
was not largely attended though it was
one of great inspiration and practical
help. A sLlendid program was well
carried out and the work of the society
was given IA new impetus. Interesting
reports of the Northwestern Branch
meeting recently held at Monmouth,
H., and of the National meeting held
in Topeka were given. Miss Winnifred
Edoall, secretary of M f.. women mt
the University of Wisconsin, was pres
ent and rendered excellent help. An
invitation to hold the next annual
meeting at Montfort was accepted

THE BRO HERHOODS MEET
Addresses Delivered and a Social
Evening Enjoyed.

The Brotherhood of the First Congre-
gational Church entertained the Meth
odst Brotherhood Friday evening at
which there were about 100 men pres
by T. L. Pagel, president Of the Con
gregational Brotherhood and was re
sponded to by $. G. Nauman, president
of the Methodist Brotherhood; after
which w. j. Penhallegon read ii paper
on Civic improvements; and addresses
were made by Rev r. A. Barnes, Prof.
Gotham, j. W. Hutchison Mayor
Parmley aud Rev. w. j. c. Bond along
the same lines.
The program was interspersed with
music by the Brotherhood quartet, solo
by George Huxtable and recitations by
Walter Martin, Harvey HuXtable aud
Martin Murrish after which light re-
freshments We're served.
A very pleasant evening was enjoyed
by all and harmony prevailed through
out. Everybody went away with the
opinion that it was the most notable
meeting of its kind ever held by the
two churches IN Mineral Point; and if
the work as suggested by the United
Brotherhood was carried out it would
be the means of making better and a
purer city in which we live.

Fifty years ago Wisconsin stood sec
ond among her sister states as pro-
ducer of wheat much of the land was
rich and cheap; the early settlers
came from eastern states where wheat
growing was the rule and bumper
crops OF excellent quality were not un-
common. Gradually change has Ia
ken place in Wisconsin's status as a
wheat growing state, until today it
ranks tWenty-siXth. The reasons for
this decline in wheat production in
Wisconsin are faulty systems of farm
ing leading to depletion of the soil
from constant cropping; the rise and
development OF the dairy industry;
the falling off in prices and the in
crease in land values.
Because of the fact that wheat does
not exhaust the soil fertility more
appreciably than barley, oats and rye.
and because there are many sections
of the state where the soil is particu.
larly adapted 10 wheat growing. r.. J.
Delwiche and B. D. Leith OF the col
lege Of agriculture Of the University
OF Wisconsin have issued a bulletin
covering the situation in general
pointing out the proper cultural meth
ods to follow and giving a list OF the
most important and reliable strains OF
spring and winter wheat adapted to
different parts OF the state.
Whether the best returns will be
secured from sowing spring or winter

MINERAL POINT
HIGH SCHOOL

Last Saturday our football team made
up for their previous defeats by gaining
a victory over Platteville with score
of 60. Although the game was hard
fought throughout, it was really more
one sided than the score shows, our
boys tearing through Platteville's line
for big gains while Platteville was held
for downs most of the time. The team
was in the best condition they have ever
been and showed plainly the results of
a week. extra hard work and careful
coaching.

wheat depends very largely upon To-
cal conditions and availability of la
Dor. In the Lake Superior region and
possibly near Lake Michigan. where
it is possible to get the ground prop
erly fitted early in the fall the grow
ing of winter wheat is preferable, On
the contrary the southern counties of
Wisconsin do not have enough snow
fall to thoroughly protect winter
wheat, and as a consequence there Is
more or less danger of its winter kill
ing
In urging wheat culture in sections
where this crop does well, it is as
sumed that it will be grown in rota-
tion with other crops A good rota-
ton for winter wheat consists of:
Winter wheat seeded TO clover.
Glover.
Cultivated crop
Peas
On new land free from noxious
weeds the following three-year rota,
tion is recommended
Winter wheat seeded to clover lin

MEpAL,s sHoToyEa DIES

The famous red colored cocker
spaniel champion MepaPs Shotoyer is
dead. This dog lived to a very old
age and his years were certainly full
of usefulness. Not only was Shotover
an extremely good looking sporting
spaniel Of the cocker kind. but he was
a worker. and II. X. Bloodgood of this
city had cause to be proud of his dog
in more ways than one. Some OF
Shotover's stock went to the extreme
west and these having been obtained
from the Mepal kennels by Mayor
James Rolph OF San Francisco, they
were put to their legitimate work on
the coast and developed, 1t is said,
into the best Of workers.
