Harold Wengler. BIG Breeze Terrace,

Lillian Davies, 1865 Cambridge avenue,
Milwaukee, walked from mile north

At the cooperative packing plant
meeting at Madison, nearly sixty at
tended from Sank county. When they
arrived they found slate which was
promptly broken by the many delegates
from this and surrounding counties. In
stead Of electing all of the delegates
from Dane county many counties were
favored. 1t is proposed to build pack
ing plant valued at about $500, 900 and
to give the consumer the
advantage of meats at a much lower
price. There are several cooperative
plants in Wisconsin ard they are said

A few years ago the legislature per-
mitted an increase in salary of the
deputy Commissioner of Insurance from
81, 800, to 81, 500. Last year. that in
crease was commented upon by the
/ successful candidate for governor as
one of the instances of progressive ex-
| travagance. Now new deputy insur-
ance commissioner is about to take
hold, with his salary increased at
Sd, 900. If jump of S700 in a mans
salary is fair example of progressive
extravaganza, what then is raise of
81, 500 for new man, who has had no
experience whatever in the work of the
Officer Merlin Hull in Black River

E. j. Battles has on exhibition in his
office number of samples of grain which
he brought from his ranch at Shaw
NUT, Montana. 1t is marvel that on
gram of wheat will produce so many
heads as may be seen at his office. In
Wisconsin about 80 to 120 pounds of
winter wheat are sown to the acre
while in Montana only rs pounds are
sown. The grains in the west stool much
more than here. If the wheat is not
sown early in the west about as pounds
are used. The samples of oats were aleo
| brought back as we'll as the samples of
spring and winter wheat G. A. Perry.
formerly Of Lodi, has about 400 acres in
grain this year and his yield will be
about 10, 900 bushels. The yield on the
Battles farm will be about 1900 bush
els. The freight rate to Minneapolis is
twenty cents bushel. Mr.. Battles re-
ports the Baraboo folks dong we'll.
