ARE PRICES
HIGH ?

At prices of year ago, it would
have taken SO bushels of wheat to buy
Liberty Bond; today, one can be
bought for Is bushels.
Last year, a farmer could build a
silo for the price of 800 bushels of
corn; today, he can build the same
one for the price of 400 bushels.
Last year, it cost a community the
price of 10000 bushels of wheat to
build mile of permanent highway;
today mile can be built for 5000 bu-
shells.
Last year farmer had to raise a
thousand bushels of wheat to buy the
tractor with which to till his field; this
year he can buy two tractors for the
same amount.
Everybody should buy Liberty
bond.
Was there ever a more favorable
time to build silo, to buy tractor,
to build permanent highways?
Now is the time to exchange your
farm produce for these necessities.
By doing this, capital will be Great
ed and placed in circulation. Prosperi-
ty will be stimulated, labor kept en-
ployed at good wages. The dollar
viii be kept rolling and more of our
citizens enabled to perform their pa
triotic duty to BUY LIBERTY
BONDS.
Let US keep on making, selling,
transporting and building.

A MUTINY
At CAMP | /
RANDALL
IN 1861.

Just as all over the United States,
recruits are f1ocking to the training
camps so, in 1861, Wisconsin's boys
and young men focked to Camp Ran
dali at Madison to prepare themselves
for taking part in the Civil War. AL
though overlooking with patriotism
the soldier boys did not always enjoy
the process of being broke in to their
new trade. On June 5, 1861, discomfort
over the discipline imposed upon them
led to small sized mutiny on the part
of the soldiers. An old diary now in
the State Historical Library, kept by
student of the University at the time,
thus tells the story: ''The sentry at
the gun challenged the grand rounds
when the officer not giving the counter
sign right he pricked him with his
bayonet, when his gun was snatched
away from him and he pitched in to
the officer with his fists for which he
was put into the guardhouse which the
Capt. Of his company LaCrosse)
having heard, he ordered him to be
taken out; that not being done he
ordered his company to charge bayou
cts and the whole regiment being rous-
ed they broke into the guardhouse and
released the man, and also all other
prisoners who were there"

HARBOR
NO TRAMP

At a meeting of the state council of
defense, in Madison, recently which
was attended, by Chiefs of Police from
fourteen principle cities in this state,
the tramp problem was thoroly dis
cussed and it was the general opinion
that tramps should keep away from
Wisconsin. Further it was the uni
versal opinion and also decision of this
conference that the people should stop
feeding tramps, and notify them to go
to work at honest toll and provide for
themselves. The state council recent
ly began an investigation, of the idler
problem, the object being to turn this
class of labor into producing channels.
This is a good move in the right d.
rection and everybody should lend
their aid.

SILOS FOR
CHICKENS

The theory Of the silo for chickens,
so that they may be fed good food in
winter which will increase their egg
laying is being urged generally by the
expert poultrynen who have expert
mented in silage, and promises to bring
about an evolution in the industry. So
much interest has been taken that the
lumber industry has taken up the prop
lem in an effort to develop a simply
built wooden chicken silo which will
be as much success in the poultry in
dustry as the wooden silo has become
in the dairy branch of the agriculture
field.

WISCONSIN
IS GROWING

Among other things, it is growing
the most vast crop of vegetables and
grains on record.
Ahesitating -backsliding spring
has been the most threatening adver-
sary of booming crops, but there's a
statewide spirit of optimism in this
regard
Cold snaps, and extremely damp
weather, has caused some discomfort,
but not a great amount of worry. The
fact that rainy spells have been follow
ed by bright hot days, has removed the
cloud of fear and pessimism.
Here is what one of the leading ag-
riculturists of the state-at the head
of one Of its most energetic county or
ganizations-had to say today:
eve have nothing - worry about y
He pointed out that the wet weather
may have caused seeding in some plac
es to rot, and that it doubtless slowed
up termination in many eases. How
ever, it was asserted, the general out
look is very bright.
Practically all seeding in the state is
done. Only in the mediterranean coun-
ties Of the state is there any late
spring seeding and fields everywhere
are bearing out the forecast that Wis
consin will bear record crops this sea-
son. 49,
IF there was any damage to crops,
it was caused by the frosts in May and
not the cool wet weather of early
June" he asserted.

RAIN IN GRAIN BELTS
Saving Thousands Of Acres That
Would Have Been Ruined.


Kansas City, April 12--Rains that
soaked the wheat and grain belts in
Oklahoma and Kansas yesterday
saved thousands of acres that would
have been ruined had the drought
continued a few days more, according
to the opinions expressed by expert
agriculturists. Reports received here
today indicated that at various points
in Kansas and eastern Oklahoma the
rain is continuing. Frank NJ. Gault,
President OF the State Board of Agri.
culture of Oklahoma, declared last
night that If the rain continued today
the wheat crop in that state would be
from 20000.000 to 23,000,000 bushels
as compared with last years crop of
27,000000.
The situation in Kansas was sum
med up by j. c. Mohler. the secretary
of the State Board of Agriculture,
with statement that it had been of
untold value TO the winter wheat
The oats crop in Kansas was ex.
pected to benefit particularly from the
downpour, which amounted TO more
than an inch yesterday in the western
parts of the state. The largest oats
acreage in the history of the state Is
being sown this spring, 1t is said, and
the ground is in excellent condition
now for the planting of corn. In Oklo-
homa arrangements have been made
by the Oklahoma Bankers Associa-
ton TO furnish seed where replanting
of wheat becomes necessary.
