According to Secretary of State,
Farms Yield Record Crops.
OATS ARE AFFECTED By RUST
Average of 2o.5 Bushels of Wheat Per
Acre is Harvested Over "iscon-
sin-Dane County Leads in
Tobacco Production.

Madison.-Conffrming the prediction
made early in the season that Wlscon-
sin would again lead in the yield per
acre of all grains and grasses, was
the report of crops issued by Secre-
tary Mackenzie of the state board OF
agriculture. Oats alone were affected
by rust and light harvest resulted.
The tobacco crop was above the
average, the larger tobacco producing
counties reporting extraordinary
yields. Dane county grew LAYS
pounds per acre; Vernon county, l,460
pounds; Rock county, 1850; Columbia
county, 1850; Crawford county, 1850.
The average yield per acre of wheat
in the northern division is 20.1 bush
els, central division p, southern di-
vision 20.3. The general average for
the state was 20.5. The average
yield of rye in the northern division
is 1913 bushels, central division 20.3.
southern division 1913. Oats averaged
319 bushels in the northern division,
36.5 in the central division and 37.2
in the southern division. The aver
age yield of buckwheat in the state
was 18.1; fax, Is bushels; beans, 1913
bushels; peas, 20 bushels.
Secretary Mackenzie reports that
a considerable quantity of green stock
has been harvested in some of the
potato centers but now an excellent
yield of good quality is being gath
cred, an average of $50 bushels per
acre in the northern division, 1908
bushels in the central division and 141
bushels in the southern division. The
general average for the state being
ISL bushels.

Mail LibrarI Plan Adopted.

Circulation of library book by
mail was announced as new
plan by which the Wisconsin free Ii
brary commission will open to all the
citizens of the state the vast libraries
of the university and the State His
torical society. Parcel post and free
delivery are to make accessible al
most half a million volumes for every
citizen of Wisconsin.
While use of the parcel post is a de-
parture in library extension work, it
nevertheless is a part of the evolu-
ton of the Wisconsin free library sys-
tenn, and is a direct outgrowth Of the
travelling library idea instituted in
this state by Frank Hutchins about
twenty years ago.
The libraries from which are drawn
the books for circulation by parcel
post are those of the Wisconsin free
library commission, $4,000 Volumes;
the state historical library, 49,, 900 vol
umes; the university library, 100000
volumes; the Wisconsin Academy of
Sciences, Art and Letters, 5000 vol
umes, making a total of $4,000 vol
umes, exclusive of pamphlets.
Matthew S. Dudgeon, secretary of
the free library commission, like Mr..
Hutchins. plans to furnish books to
those who need them most While
employing the same principle as that
involved in the travelling library plan,
he has expanded the idea so that in
stead of merely serving a community
by sending a box of books to some
central point, where the country peo-
pie can make a selection from among
the forty of fifty volumes in the box,
the commission now is able to serve
the individual and send him by parcel
post any book he may desire which
is included among those in the cir
culating department of the great state
historical and university libraries.
This plan does for country folks by
mail what the city dweller does for
himself direct When the city man
wants to draw books from the city
library he gets some property owner
to sign his application as guarantor.
When the country man wants to draw
books from the Wisconsin free library
commission by parcel post he sends
a letter inclosing the proper amount
of postage, and gives the name of the
books he desires.
At the bottom of the letter there is
a statement signed by the school
teacher, postmaster or librarian which
says that the writer OF the letter is a
responsible citizen of the community
In which he lives.
