HARVEST BOUNTY BLESSINGS
Wisconsin and Vernon County Are
in Thick of il All


We are in the last weeks of garner.
ing bountiful supply produced in this
section. The berries, the hay. the
grain have all been gathered and most
of the field products have been threshed
or placed in sheltering stacks. Now,
the tobacco harvest is at its height and
two additional weeks will be required
to cut and shed that great product of
the farm. Never has the corn acreage
been so large in our county ard not be-
fore was the prospect brighter for fine
crop. Three weeks of favorable wealth
er will insure this commodity. With
that well matured and harvested. the
season cereal farm growths will pract-
ically close the biggest and best we
remember of. For all of which there
is reason to be thankful to Generous
Giver.
There is demand for every man or
boy capable of doing labn. 4: sne tobac-
co fields. Wages rarge from g 20 SO,
according to the ability and familiarity
with those in H. work. Although more
than week has been given to cutting
and housing, not more than a quarter
of acreage of this region has been plac-
ed under cover. This week and next
will, with good weather, find a small
per cent left in the field. So far as the
CENSOR has been able to ascertain, not
crop of 1918 tobacco In Vernon county
has been contracted. The new law is
so framed that bu Iers feel it would be
hazardous to co:lf fact, even if the farm
ers were willing 20. Representatives
OF different firms have been and are
still riding through the country districts
taking observation of the crop as it ad-
vances in growth and Is harvested. If
this purpose is carried through, there
IS not likely to be any contracting till
tobacco is taken from the poles and
placed in the bundle. That Is liable to
make late delivery and still later sizing
and casing. Doubtless one trial will
convince both farmers and contractors
whether or not the new law is best for
them.
On the subject of field buying the
Edgerton Tobacco Reporter says: eff
for no other reason, packers who have
started sampling their 1912 tobacco and
take note of the damage encountered,
might well shy at the prospect of again
engaging in field buying. The gamble
is too great for men of moderate means
to embark in, and to many it must
mean keep out or - broke If field
buying should not b started this sea-
son. one thing at least might happen
growers would not harvest much unripe
tobacco and better care would be taken
in stripping and preparing 1t for mark
ct. And the packer would certainly
get rid of two fruitful sources of dam
age to be found in the 1912 tobacco.
Let us hope the field buying epidemic
Toes not break out for at least Il month
Jet, even / T the new law does not
prove an effectual barrier as a proven
.ative. =

Ones Them AM Apologv

Our good brother of the Ontario Head
light appears to oe aggrieved; at least
he consumes a column of valuable space
in his paper to tell US that our manners
do not conform to truly "down south"
chivalry. All because the CENSOR con-
tanned a harmless and good .natured
paragraph in behalf of Wisconsin wo-
manhood, whom the fastidieus brother
compared to cake of ice." We must
still insist that he owes the American
girl an apology. With southern chival-
~ in his makeup he ought to do the
courteous thing.

DO you LIKE "SWEETS Z"

They're Fine With 0ravy-Aere's How
You May Grow Crop.
Plant few sweet potatoes in your
garden this spring. They aren't hard
to grow, and what is richer to eat than
brown sweet potatoes with gravy2
Besides, this vine is very ornamental,
and its thick. dark foliage helps to
make your vegetable garden more at
tractive.
Sweet potatoes are grown by means
of sets or sprouts which grow from
the root buds. 1t is best to get them
from seed growers or gardeners. They
require warm. moderately rich. sandy
land. If the land is too fertile there
will be large growth Of top at the ex-
pense Of the root. The plants may We
set out from the middle of May until
the LIST of July or after the late frosts
are over.
The potatoes may be grown on the
level, but ridge usually is preferred.
In the garden ridging may be done
with hoe. making the ridge about
eighteen inches broad and six inches
high. The rows should be from three
and half to four feet apart. Set the
plants along the center of the ridge
they should be about two feet apart
and if the soil is moist it is only neces-
sary to dip the roots in water before
setting But if it is unusually. dry at
this time it will be advantageous to
sprinkle the plants occasionally.
When the plants are small they
should be cultivated often enough to
kill the weeds and keep mellow sur
face. Later on the vines themselves
will cover the ground; then cultiva-
ton is impracticable as we'll as unde'
sirable. After the vines are too large
to cultivate they should be lifted oc-
casionally or they are likely to take
root at the joints and keep on forming
more vines with no roots in the hill
large enough for use. The vines should
be lifted once a week. Every vine
should be loose from hill to tip. Thii
lifting may be done very rapidly witt
a pitchfork. but some care must b(
taken.-Kansas Industrialist.

the opinion that any one who has the
right kind Of land for them would not
go far wrong in planting fair area
to early potatoes. The seed is cheap.
While there is an abundance Of late po-
tatoes held over from last season,
which will tend to discourage high

potatoes may be wanted for seed the
following spring at good price. What
Is said of early potatoes applies equally
