Jackson.-John Richards, a Kinds
county farmer, exhibited in the city
Saturday five stalks of cotton raised on
his farm eight miles west of Jack
son, which bore AZ bolls per stalk.
The cotton was in good shape, only
slight traces of the boil weevil being
noticeable on close examination. Mr..
Richards has four acres of this kind
Of cotton and says that he will pick
nearly q bale per acre. The plants
exhibited are known as the Bearhill
Prolific, originated by a farmer OF
Amite county, Mississippi. The new
plant was made by grating two kinds
of short staple cotton grown in South
Mississippi, with the result that the
boil are much larger than the usual
short staple, and the locks are longer

WEEPING JURORS

Tears are common enough in court rooms but tears n the jury box something Women jurors arc responsible for this sentimental invasion. In murder rial in Leavenworth, Kan, there three he jury. The two trial for their lives ac luitted to the accompaniment of prouse and joyous weeping the part of the feminine jurors.
 Many male jury has been moved to compassion often unwise-by the tears of a fair defendant. And when sworn to administer justice subject to such frailty it would be unfair find fault with for being carried away by their emotions when the sit uation is reversed and mans life lies in their hands Women anyhow, are no more sentimental than men they only show it differently.
 Still the incident is bit disquieting those wlo believe in the administration of justice without mucr tempering of mercifu It is notoriousy difficult get any male jury to pronounce guilty Of der Now, if going to sit criminal juries generally will any man be found guilty?

WHAT ABOUT OUR
HEAVY CLAY SOILS?

There are about 100000 acres of
heavy clay soils in Wisconsin. When
properly managed these soils are very
productive and are adapted to great
variety of crops. Because of their
tendency to pack and thereby requir-
ing special cultivation to assure good
filth, it is very necessary that these
soils be carefully handled. AS sin
gle blowing, when too wet, will injure
them for several years, these clays
should be plowed only when in prop
er moisture condition.
To keep up the fertility of clay soils
it is necessary to add considerable
vegetable matter. This is best done
by using all available manure and in
addition by turning under an occa-
sional second crop of clover or other
legume. Even in the natural state
clay soils rarely contain much humus.
The supply of phosphorus is also linn
tied and should be increased by the
addition of phosphate fertilizer to sup
plement the farm manure.
The crops and rotations for clay
soils must be chosen with especial
view to the character of the land.
Glover and timothy grow abundantly
on clay and small grains including
oats, barley and wheat also do well on
such soils. The rotation for clay
fields should include clovers, small
grains and titled crops, such as corn,
potatoes and rutabagas. A four or five
year rotation is generally recon-
mended.
The drainage of heavy clay lands is
Of prime Importance. These soils nat
ura1ly retain moisture and puddle cas-
lily il worked when wet. Surface wa
ter must be thoroughly drained away,
and not allowed to stand on clay fields.
Fields should be p1owed in narrow
lands to help in removing the surface
water, Drainage is very effective, and
experience at several points in the
state has shown that tile drainage paid
for itself in few years.

HOLLANDALE.

The Weekly Review: Mrs John
Meudt and nephews Kenneth and Will
lard Greenwood spent Saturday and
Sunday with her mother near Mineral
Point.
Oscar Scott, living about a mile and
half east of Argyle on the Monroe
road, was accidentally shot in the head
Sunday morning with % rifle He died
about an hour and a half after the ac-
cident.
The writer had the pleasure of trip
thru several towns and villages of Iowa
County last Friday with Blaine Steens
land; the places visited were, Mineral
Point, Linden, Cobb, Edmund, Dodge
vile and Waldwick. Every place we
stopped there were signs of prosperity
the mines at Linden were running full
blast and drilling machines were every
where engaged in locating new mining
prospects. The roads were grand for
travel, altho between Mineral Point
and Linden they can be improved on.
The land around Cobb and Edmund is
about as good as could be wished for,
farms selling for 5000 an acre. Pastures
and small grain was looking good
which proves that Wisconsin is hard to
beat.

Parental Responsibility.

Milwaukee Journal: Fathers and
mothers who have young daughters
would do we'll to give little consider
alton to Archbishop Messmer's pastor
al letter decrying immodest styles in
feminine dress. In the last analysis it
is the parents who say whether girls
shall dress modestly and becomingly
Or whether they shall be allowed to
wear anything that fashion dictates, no
matter how ridiculous or indecent it
may be. For every girl who appears
on the street improperly clothed there
is pretty sure to be one or perhaps two
parents at fault. If every parent saw
to it that during their teens his or her
daughters dressed as young girls
should, there would be no occasion for
such letters as the one sent out by the
archbishop. Training and discipline
during girlhood would give US women
with too much sense and self-respect to
dress in way which attracts unfavor-
able attention. Every parent who
neglects to see to it that his daughters
dress sensibly and modestly is failing
to do his duty. A realization on the
part of parents of their responsibility in
this matter will solve the problem of
feminine dress in so far as young girls
are concerned.

The Widows Pension.

an increased pension for soldiers

month after they reach the ago of
70 years. The widows of soldiers who
were married previous to and during
the war, pension of 1921. A vast
majority of the American people will,
we believe, accord Senator Husting the
credit to which he is entitled for bring
ing about these amendments, which
carry deserved recognition, to the
widows of our valiant soldiers who
offered their lives and underwent in
describable sufferings that the union of
states might remain unbroken.

BUYS BIG BUILDING CHEAP
"OWner" Fails to Show Up, but Police
Think They Have Him.


Minneapolis, Mimi, May 31.-Short-
ly after Timothy O'Gorman reached
Minneapolis from his Wisconsin farm,
he encountered a relative" who hos.
pitably showed him the Mill City
sights, took him out to dinner and
then offered to let him in on a big
real estate deal which the relative
was about to close.
AS first payment upon his share in
the purchase of the old Times newspa-

promised to meet his relative on Fri,
day and go to a lawyers office to ar.
range about paying the rest OF the
$4,000 which would make him half own
er of building he was told was worth
$4,000. When the relative did not ap-
pear, O'GOrman asked the police to
help find him. The police are now
holding Olof Severson, who answers
the description of the relative. But
they can not find O'Gorman

British Laws and Tenants.

The present laws of England
and Scotland, differing in details
but identical in principle, say
to the tenant: You must not
sell straw or mangels or tur-
nips, but must feed them to
live stock. If you sell grain, you
must return to the land in some
form the manurial value of the
grain sold, or the man who
owns the land can recover it
from you by due process of law.
If you buy commercial fertiliz-
ers or feeding stuffs, the land
owes to you the manurial value
as determined by the chemist.
If the landlord raises the rent
on you because Of fertility you
have added, you can not only re-
cover the value of those unex-
hausted manures, but you can
sue him for disturbance
amounting to the expense of
moving and any loss you may
have incurred through the sac
rifice of your live stock by
forced sale. If you cannot
agree, report to the department
of agriculture, and it will send
valuatOr or arbitrator who is
familiar with the country and
it's farming. If you are not sat
isfied with his decision, you can
appeal to the court, and from
this to the court of appeals,
whose decision is final. II land
needs drainage, the tenant must
take this matter up with the land
lord. If the landlord is not willing
to incur the expense necessary
according to "the most approved
methods of husbandry," the
tenant himself may do it and
charge the expense to the land.
If it is necessary for good farm
ing to lay down portion Of the
land in permanent grasses
either for meadow or pasture, the
landlord must foot the bill. Like
the buildings, this becomes a
permanent improvement and the
tenant may not pillow it up ex-
cept with the consent of the
landlord.-Henry Wallace.
