Recess 70 Plant Corn.


Plans are being made by members
of the assembly for nominal sessions
IN that body for the week of May Z
to II in order to give the farmers an
opportunity TO plant corn. This qnes-
ton Of an ostensible recess of the as
sembly was discussed by the body.
Some of the members favor the recess
for the week of April 80 TO May Z.
Il do not think we should take a
recess next week." declared Assembly
man Weston Woodland of Chippewa
county, one Of the leading farmer mem
bers. I'VE do not need help In seed
ing as much as we do In planting corn.
For this reason | do not believe the
assembly should take a nominal ad-
journment until the week commencing
May T."
Many Of the farmer members, how
ever, have asked for leaves of abb
sence during the present week aud
the probability is that for the next
two weeks the attendance in the as
sembly will be much smaller than
usual. Over One-thrid Of the assembly
is composed of farmers.
According to the records, the assem-
bly, is about two weeks in advance Of
the senate in legislative work accom-
pllshed. The assembly worked Easter
week while the senate remained at
home.
Should absence be granted to the
farmer members for the week OF May
: the assembly will still be in session
but will consider only bills of smaller
