WATERPOWER MEN PROTEST
Nearly Every Provision of conserva-
ton Bill Opposed at Hearing Be-
fore Special Committee.

Madison.-A general attack on near
ly every provision of the new water
power bill framed by the special con-
servation committee was made before
the senate, sitting as a committee
of the whole The waterpower men
who appeared against the bill were
Neal Brown and G. d. Jones of Wau-
sau, T. W. Brazeau of Grand Rapids,
Roy p Wilcox and C. T. Bundy OF
Eau Claire.
Waterpower men maintained that
the state has only the right to pro-
tect navigation and that this power
should not be used to coerce water
power owners to agree to a contract
that will deprive them of their prop
erty rights.
Senator Husting claimed that every
right of the state is protected under
the bill and counting upon the ex-
perience of other states which have
passed similar laws, he believes rapid
development would follow enactment
of this bill.

DECREASE SHOWN
IN CROP REPORT
Cereal Yields Likely to Be Lower
This Year.
OATS FAR BELOW AVERAGE
Corn Acreage Is Less for 1913-Aggre-
gate in the Leading Grains Placed
at 4,929D00, 900
Bushels.

Washington, July 11.-The govern
ment crop report for July issued We'd
nesday indicates bountiful crops of
all the cereals but the total produce
ton this year will be far below the
grand total for last year, when there
were record yields of nearly all the
leading grains
Compared with other years, how
ever, the present crop promise is good,
and it is possible that, with favorable
conditions during the remainder OF
the growing season, some of the crops
will turn out as we'll as last year, if
not better.
The total yield of the leading cereals
is placed at 1929 100000 bushels, COM
pared with 1851 ,0OO, 900 bushels year
ago.
The big loss compared with year
ago is in oats, which promise yield
of 1881, 000,0 900 bushels, against 1,41S,-
100000 bushels a year ago. Corn is
short 154 100000 bushels and the total
wheat crop is 29,00O,0OO bushels less
than last year Barley is 100000
bushels less than a year ago at 1885,
100000 bushels
Spring wheat promises to yield ll2,-
100000 bushels less than year ago,
with an indicated crop of 218,000,O0O
bushels. Winter wheat will be $4,000
900 bushels heavier at 4S2,O0O,00O
bushels, the total wheat crop being
701 100000 bushels, compared with
73O. 900, 900 bushels as finally estimated
in 1912.
The first report on corn for the sea
son shows a high condition, 86.9, but
the acreage is smaller than last year
at LOG, $4,000 acres.
Last year the corn acreage was lO8,-
10000 acres and the condition July
1 was 81.5. The crop promise on that
date was for no larger crop than at
present, although the final estimate
of the crop was ,125,000,000 bushels,
while the report issued suggests har-
vest of 1911, 100000 bushels, or 154,-
OOO, 900 bushels less than In 1912.
In the big surplus corn states OF the
middle west the outlook is for yield
OF 1,718,0OO,000 bushels. This COM
pares with 1,793, 100000 bushels year
ago. but is nearly 300,000,000 bushels
more than was raised in 1911.
Moreover, as the par yield is ad-
vanced as the season progresses, if the
present condition is maintained until
harvest the crop this year will exceed
the record yield of 1912.
With but few exceptions the corn
crop is uniformly excellent and farther
along than usual at this time OF the
year.
Illinois and Iowa both have a prom
ise of S4S,00O,000 bushels of corn, it
being the closest race ever known be-
tween the two states to head the list
of corn producers. Each has a high
promise and conditions have been ia
vorable.
Nebraska is next on the list with the
finest crop it ever has had, indicating
a yield of 27O,00O,0O0 bushels. Mis-
souri, wilI.saise nearly as much as last
year WITH 237 900, 900 bushels.

LOUISE ON A WHITE
 FOX BEATS A DIAMOND

The most valuable article in the world today. with the possible exccp- ton of radium, is a louse taken from a white fox. Frank Dean of Nome heard of this fact and looked into the story. Swenson and John Koren con- firm the statement and there is no joke whatever about 1t.
 The value of this beast Is due. il Is said, to the fact that a wealthy man in London. England. is now making n collection of them. The exact value of the pretty things has not been as- certained. The fox himself Is worth Sl4 or $I5 and when 1t was asked whether the fox was more valuable than the louse the infinitely greater value of the louse was suggested by an exclamation of disgust that anyone could consider an ordinary white fox more valuable than the precious louse himself
 In order to prevent stampede or useless prospecting t may he stated that the louse must be from white fox and nothing else.
