WHAT AFTER WHEAT?

Every man who grows wheat in Arkansas wants peas or early soybeans, or one of these crops with sorghum on the land after the grain crop is taken off. But many an acre grows up in weeds because of failure to get these crops in. Why? By har- vesting time the wheat or oats land has been tightly packed by the winter and spring rains. Much moisture is needed to ma ture the grain crop and the soil therefore is usually quite hard even when the grain is cut. As soon as the protective crop is taken off the soil dries very rap- idly and is soon too hard to blow.
The Nevada County picayune., 1916-06-01

REMEDY: At the time of harvesting set shocks in rows and have the disk harrow follow right behind the shockers that day if possible or not later than next day. The harrow breaks the surface crust. stops the rapid drying out, causes the moisture coming from below to stop near the surface. and results in soften ing the land, which in a few days time or as soon as the shocks can be hauled out will be in good condition for breaking or disking again. Seed to cow peas or early soybeans, or either of these and sorghum, Don't wait for ram which may come too late.

Wausau young people attending col
leges and universities, and others en-
gagged in work outside of the city, and
relatives from afar are coming to
Wausau this week to spend the Yule-
tide. While many holding positions
here, but living elsewhere, go to their
homes to be with relatives.
On Christmas day, all business will
be suspended, allowing every one to
spend the eventful day with relatives

One of the busiest places of bust

what in form. but the joyous spirit OF
faith and good cheer was alike mani

years an nations have been celebrat-
ing the birthday of Him, to whom we
should offer prayers of thanks for all
things of this life The Christmas
message is heard again this year as
it has been all down through the ages,
GLORY to God in the highest and on
earth peace, good will toward men.
Let this Christmas be a happy one
for everybody as it always should be.
Enter into the real spirit Of Christ
mas. which is to give happiness into
some human life 1t is not in the Civ

Christmas. it is in bestowing kind
words. kind looks and smiles where
there is not always sunshine. This

and how it can be frightened by, if
nothing more, than CHEEKY words. A
very Merry Christmas to all is the
wish of the Wausau Pilot.
The Christmas rush is surely here,
shopping is now being done in earnest
and with a volume that gives weight
to the prediction that a new record
will be set by the time old Santa
Claus is ready to make his trip over
the housetops, in spite of the high
cost of living. The stores are gayly
and attractively decorated with holi-
day greens. shining tinSel, Christmas
trees and bells, etc. Our stores are
crowded with shoppers and everybody
is in a big hurry all the time. This
week all stores are open evenings to
accommodate Christmas shoppers, who
cannot visit the stores during the day.
Christmas trees are coming to the !
city daily by the loads. Without the

trees, toys, cards, etc, there would not
be a real Christmas in this country. |
There are many pretty customs OBJ
served at Christmas time. One of
these is the erecting Of a pole. to the |
top Of which is fastened large sheaf |
of grain for the birds. so that they
may have a Merry Christmas also. !
This is noticeable in many places dur
ing this time of the year and is a GUS
tom We hope will always be kept up.

SALE AND SUPPER

"A very successful sale and supper
was conducted by the ladies of the
First Universalist church in Cyrus
Yawkey hall on Friday evening. The
tables in the drawing room were laden
with fine work of every description,
from pin cushion to the most elab-
crate creation of the work bag. The
ladies were busy the entire afternoon
making sales and by evening nearly
everything had disappeared. After
$50 o'clock there was supper given
in the dining room and hundreds were
served. In the recreation hall, during
the afternoon, confectionery, fancy
cakes, etc, were sold. A fish pond was
the great attraction for the young
as well as the old. At o'clock a
vaudeville entertainment was given on
the stage in recreation hall, and which
was enjoyed by an audience which
filled the room.
Mrs. Helen Bick Daniels, formerly
of New York City, and now resident
of Wausau, gave several very clever
impersonations which were immensely
enjoyed by all present, and she was
repeatedly encored.
Alan Pradt and George Turner made
up so their best friends could not have
told who they were, and played several
selections on the mandolin and
ukolele. They were roundly applaud
ed and responded several times.
A splendid feature of the entertain
ment was a little love comedy in
which Warner Bump, dressed as
young lady, was the daughter; Ross
Roy took the part of the father, and
the lovers were Chas. Manson and
Alan Pradt 1t made hit and the
audience was convulsed with laughter.
A vocal solo by Miss Nora Jensen
was enjoyed and it was necessary to
appear a second time to quiet the ap-
plause.
The ladies realized a goodly sum
and their annual event was even
greater success than on former occa-
sions.

NEW POWER SUPPLY
Wisconsin Valley Electric Co. to Con-
meet With Whiting-PlOyer
Paper Company

| That the Wisconsin Valley Electric
Co. will have a connection for the
1 mutual exchange of power with the
Whiting-Plover Paper Co., established
within the next 70 days, thus guaran-
teeing local electric light and electric
| power users continuous and reliable
service, was announced by M. G.
Ewing, secretary and manager of the
Wisconsin Valley Electric Co., last
Thursday. Mr.. Ewing's announce
ment follows:
"The Wisconsin Valley Electric
Company has made arrangements
| with the Whiting-Plover Paper Co.,
whereby the power plants of the two
companies will be Immediately con-
nected with a power line for the mu-
tual exchange of power
"The Whiting -Plover Co., has avail
able at the present time a consider
able amount of surplus power, and it
is the purpose of the electric company
to secure connection with this surplus
power at the earliest date possible so
as to Immediately avoid any possible
Interruptions of the electrical service
at Stevens Point, and to guarantee
continuous and reliable service at all
times by having three sources of sup
ply instead of two as at present,
pending the construction of perman-
ent lines from Mosinee.
"This connection will enable the
electric company to at once take care
of the additional demand for power
and light at Stevens Point
"The company has purchased the
additional equipment required to con-
meet these plants, and our public
statement of the company's ability to
add to the power supply of this city
within a period of 12O days will be
effectively met by providing all i'm
mediate power requirements within
about seventy days.
"The Whiting -Plover Co. is in posi-
tion to furnish at this time approx
imately twice the total amount of
power used by the Stevens Point
Lighting Co., and the Wisconsin Val
ley Electric Co., will be able to furnish
several of the larger. manufacturing
companies with all power needed
within the above specified time.
"The company has also purchased
additional equipment to improve the
power line running to Jordan. The
nature of these improvements will
tend to avoid any interruption of SER
vice in that line in the future.
"The connecting of all the various
water powers with electric lines for
the exchange of power, is the plan
which is advocated by the Wisconsin
Valley Electric, Co., and which it is
certain will be of vast benefit to the
manufacturing interests of the Wis
consin valley when this plan has been
fully completed. The connection with
the Whiting -Plover mill is an addi-
tional step in this direction. These
connecting lines will particularly be
of benefit to all the plants in case of
accident or during periods of low
water conditions. The Wisconsin VAL
ley Electric Co., has already connected
up the five Wisconsin river water
powers between Merrill and Mosinee." :"
