Old Capitol Is Inspected.

The commission appointed by Gov
ernor Philip has made its first IN
spection of the old state capitol build
ing at Belmont and is now making
plans for the restoration of the build
ing to its original site. State En-
gineer J. d. Mack, one of the members
of the commission, said that the infor-
nation regarding the exact location of
the building was not definite, and he
hoped that some of the old settlers
would furnish information TO the COM
mission.
The governor appointed a committee
composed of Senator Plat Whitman,
NJ. p. Rindlaub, Platteville, and State
Engineer ]. D. Mack. Madison, as mem
bers of the commission.
The old territorial capitol at Bel
mont was used in the fall of 1886 for
the meeting of the first territorial leg
islature. The principal issue before
that legislature was the location of
the permanent seat of government, and
Madison was finally selected through
the efforts of Judge Doty.

Madison-That an attempt has been
made to have Gov. Philip include in
the call for the special session of the
legislature a modification of the anti.
trust law passed by the last legisla.
ture was discovered. 1t was evident

fication of the law be included in the
call for the special session.

Crop Outlook Reported Fine.

Prospects for large crop of nearly
every kind throughout Wisconsin were
never better, according to the joint
crop report issued at Madison today.
The potato crop, with the condition of
80, compared to a ten-year average of
"a, indicates, with favorable weather
conditions, an estimated production of
81, 9O0,000 bushels-One of the largest
crops in the history of the state and
nearly three times the production of
1916. The entire United States crop
is estimated at 100000 bushels,
compared to 2S5, 437 900 bushels last
year. Late blight, the disease most
feared by Wisconsin potato growers,
has not made its appearance so far,
and the bugs are being kept well under
control. A large crop of fine hay has
just been secured, and the harvesting
of small grains is in full swing with
yields running well up to normal. Corn,
while late, is making remarkable prog
ress, and if early frosts do not inter
fere will make an average crop or bet
ter. The condition of the crop on Au-
gust l was so, which is only 2 per cent
below the average for the past ten
years. or probable production of 61,-
100000 bushels, compared to 6O,S40,0OO
last year. The estimated production
for United States is estimated at 3, 19O,-
100000 bushels, compared to $685.
241 900 last year.

Cooperative Plan Spreads.

Cooperative companies in Wiscon-
sin are on the increase. The largest
advance along this line has been made
in the dairy industry, where the num-
Der of cooperative cheese factories
has now reached rs and cerameries
$50. Other classes of cooperative
companies in Wisconsin are telephone
companies, 437; insurance, 214; live,
stock shipping, $50; produce shipping,
60; stores, 81; fruit exchanges, Z;
packing plants, 4, and laundries, 2.
Several Factors in Success.
: Its success depends upon several
factors" said B. H. Hubbard of the
University of Wisconsin. "A suffi-
cient amount of business is essential.
The cO-operators should live near
enough together to have a community
interest and d personal acquaintance.
The business transacted should be
simple in nature, free from any great
degree of speculation and of vital i'm
pOrtance or convenience to the CO.
operators.
1.-The membership of the company
SnOutQ cOnStSI O1 dCllNe 1dIueIS, at
beast they should be in control. Out
siders, if admitted, as they sometimes
are to furnish capital, should not be
allowed to influence the business pol
icy toward large dividends on the in
vestment. The one-man-One-vote prin-
ciple will keep the organization demo
cratic. Mischief-makers and drones
should be kept out, but in no wise
should a cooperative society become
'closed-shop.' A trust among farm
ers is as undesirable as among other
people"
