 This season the crop in the Rain valley, behind Mustang mountains, north from Elgin, has proved very light. A period of drought at the critical time blasted the beans and if the farmers secure return of their seed they will be doing well. In the of Elgin and Sonoita returns will be better, and in the Vaughn country some of the farms received welcome rains just in the nick of time to assure good yields.

Trying to Save the Naples.

Much interest is being taken in the
fight to save the maple trees of south
ern Wisconsin from the ravages of the
cottony maple scale. 1t is evident
from the reports coming into the State
Department of Agriculture that more
spraying will be done this spring than
ever before. Fox Lake and Sheboygan
already have their outfits; Beaver Dam
is preparing to purchase one and sew
eral other communities have taken up
the matter and will probably get or
ganized for the spray campaign.
State Entomologist DR.. E. D. Ball is
furnishing directions for making kero-
sene emulsion to all who inquire and is
assisting them in selecting good out
fits and getting the proper equipment.
He expects to visit these cities and
help get the work started at the proper
time.
According to DIR. Ball, the secret of
success is in getting large enough
outfit to handle the work, reaching the
tops of the trees, thorough application
of the mixture and putting it on before
the leaves come out in the spring.

The Monroe Doctrine.

President Monroe in his seventh an
nual message dec. 2, 1929 laid down
the principle Of what has since been
known as the Monroe doctrine" thus ::
1--WE owe it to candor and to the ami
cable relations existing between the
United States and those (great Euro
pean) powers to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part to
extend their system to this hemisphere
as dangerous to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies OF dependen-
cies of any European power we have
not interfered and shall not Interfere.
but with the governments who have de-
clared their independence and maintain
ed it and whose independence we have
on great consideration and on just prin-
ciples acknowledged we would not
view any interposition for the purpose
of depressing them or controlling in
any other manner their destiny by any
European power in any, other light than
as a manifestation ~ an unfriendly
disposition toward the United States"

Austria's Royal Family.

The Hapsburgs, or Habsburgs, of
the royal house of Austria derive their
name from the castle of Habichts-
burg, or Hawk castle, in the Swiss
canton of Aargau. In the twelfth CEN
tury the family became one of the
most powerful in Swabia. Rudolf Ill.
was elected emperor of Austria in the
following century. While thus extend
ing their possessions and acquiring in
fluence, the Hapsburgs lost their orig
inal family possessions, which were
gradually absorbed by the cantons.
Some thirty-five years ago the Aus
TRANS proposed to purchase the castle
of Hapsburg and give it as wedding
gift to the crown prince of Austria,
but the people of Aargau refused to
hear of the sale.

PRINGLE. BROS. COMPANY

REPORTS from As Wisconsin associa-
tons just sent to Noel Negley of the
Wisconsin Dairymen's association and
the College Of Agriculture staff show
more high producing cows than ever
before. The members of these As as
sociations had 1920 cows or about 10
per cent of the Is, 294 cows tested that
produced over 40 pounds of fat for the
month. In some associations as many
as one-fourth of the cows tested pro-
duced over 40 pounds of fat, and many
of them produced over 70 pounds of fat
for the month. The honors for the
month go to pure bred Holstein cow
belonging to A. Osenga of Wood county
that produced 1886 pounds of milk and
IS pounds of fat in 81 days. Who
would object to receiving $34 monthly
for the fat, and still have about 1900
pounds of skim milk to feed the calves
and pigs-all from one COW? The cow
testing associations are developing more
of these cows with better feed and care
and increased interest in the business.

OVER 1000 bills have been introduced
in the Wisconsin legislature thus far,
and the end is not yet. Of these per-
haps 300. to make it liberal, are pos
sessed of some merit or the justifica-
ton of necessity. The rest are, for
the most part, the products of personal
within, of fractional politics or of half
cooked reform. In Athens, under
the law Of Draco, the death penalty
was visited upon the legislator who
proposed new act, the need or de-
mand for which was not demonstrable.
That is what the Athenians thought of
promiscuous, haphazard and unbridled
law-making. Americans, who prefer
laws to their enforcement, may be
shocked by such terrible precedent,
but sooner or later they must effect
some check to indiscriminate legisla-
ton or be law pestered and law-ridden
to the point of desperation. One of
these days the people of Wisconsin will
get tired of thousand bill legislatures;
tired of wasting time and money in
combating freak and fractional bills;
tired of long and cost-breeding ses-
sions; tired of statute books cluttered
up with superfiuous laws; and they will
rise and demand an act that will con-
fine the scope of law-making to the
limits of reason, economy and neces-
sity. Milwaukee Free Press.

The rise in salary of $50 year made
to Superintendent Otto for his services
the coming year as the head of our city
schools has failed to keep him with US.
Monday the board received the refusal
of the offer, and at the expiration of
the present school year Mr.. Otto will
leave Marshfeld. 1t is understood he
has accepted position with the Amer

The change will give him substantial
increase in pay over what was offered
by our school board with bright flu
