day last week with his combined har-

two hundred and thirty bushels of
wheat. The operation requires eight
horses, two men and one cook, thus
taking away the terrors of the thresh-
ing crew. They have more than tw
hundred acres under cultivation t,
year with yield of twenty five bush
els to the acre and perfect wealth
for the harvest. Toms friends tell
that his one hope has been to make
good on the dry farm and buy an au-
tomobilo and their crop bids fair to
make that hope reality.

THE PRESS HUMORjSTS

Being a funny man, constructing

at Peoria, Ill.
American humor at its best spark
les and satirizes, it flashes with I'M
expected relations between words and
ideas, it throws the white light OF
satire on prigs and pharisees and
tops and FOOLS. But the demand is
so ravenous that too many counter.
feits sell as the real goods.
You can market very flat fras-
ment of conversation, il you accom-.
pany the same with a smartly drawn
picture of the low necked girl and
the creased trouser man. It is not
necessary that the picture have the
least relation to the point of the
dialogue. 1t must simply be smart
and show what men and women are
wearing or aren't wearing.
To supply the demand the old stock
of jokes must be worked over and
over, though their point may be gone
The Englishman is represented
having no sense Of fun, though h.
continues to buy and read Dickens
and Thackeray. The Bostonian uses
long words and wears spectacles
though most Bostonians now are alien
who are studying the English primer
The Philadelphia is slow, though TIE
ball teams don't think SO. The Chi
cago girl has large feet, in spite O.

mother-in-law is creature of vinegar
though mothers-in-law are usually
grandmothers, and grandmothers have
sweet faces and kind hearts.
The press humorists are simply
speeded to a higher rate than the

Wisconsin College OF Agriculture.

The winter Of 1912 was particu-
iauly disastrous to fruit trees In Wis
consin. An examination of the injury
particularly that in young orchards, re
suited in the conclusion that very
considerable portion of this loss was
due to lack of hardness in the root
systems upon which the plants were
growing. That hardness is not al
ways dependent on variety character
istics was shown in many orchards In
which trees OF the same variety under
identical environmental conditions
