CROP IS IN FINE PROSPECT
Tobacco Setting Over-Fields Dem
onstrate Good Outlook

The fear of insufficient plants and
other uufavorable conditions early in
the season have been Gispelled and
prospects now are for the largest ac-
reage and best crop OF tobacco our
county has known, Plant growth the
past week has been phenomenal.
Proper cultivation is now essential.
IN prospect of heavy demand il is be-
lieyed higher prices than last year
may pre- Saii. Ii is reported that keen
observers are salready looking over
Wisconsin growing districts with q
view to ascertaining the acreage. the
best prospective crops and other facts
that viii afford dcSlers reliable infor-
nation SO that buying may be iutelli-
gently pushed wher the proper mo-
meut arrives for making contracts
for field crops. OF conditions gener-
ally We quote from the Edgerton To-
bacco Reporter;
The new tobacco crop has had the
benefit of week OF exceptional grow
ling weather that is rapidly putting it
to the front No crop in recent years
has made so fine getaway or more
promising at this date. The early set
fields have commenced TO take on a
sprt al that presages a harvest not bat
a few weeks away. There is a uui-
forlnness about the fields where cult
walton has been properly attended to
especially noticeable. Buyers have
commenced to send their men into the
growing districts To watch the progress
Of the crop and make note of the most
promising fields. Their reports are
that the crop seldom, If ever, looked
better at this date, and If the present
fast growing conditions continue, an
early harvest is predicted.
The joint crop report of the L. S.
department of agriculture with state
board, issued from Madison, esti-
mates the tobacco acreage of Wis
cousin has been increased 10 per cent
this season, or from $4,000 to 4S.200
acres. Although there is but slight
reason for basing an estimated yield at
this date, it is placed at 81 million
pounds The present condition of the
crop is given as IS, which to our notion
should be well up toward the 100 per
cent mark But what is the use to
predict any estimates at this time when
the crop is vet to be made.

THE NEW STATE ROAD LAW
Town Board Obliged 10 Have Main
Highways Dragged

Town boards are now required to
have the main roads In town dragged,
and it is hoped that the drag law may
no, be allowed to fall into disuse as
has the guideboard law in some towns.
The law requires that the town
board designate such highways, as in
their judgment, by reason Of amount
of travel and grade conditions, which
shall be known as drag roads, and shall
divide the same into sections. The
town board shall cause the roads TO he
dragged when the condition OF such
highways rcs pire it. The board shall
provide an earth road for each section
which shall not be less than seven
feet in width,
A dragman shall be appointed for
each section, whose duty it shall be to
drag such highway underline direction
of the town board, or the board may
contract TO have any section dragged.
Preference TO perform this work shall
be given to residents on land abutting
the sections to be dragged. Compen-
sation for the work Of dragging shall
be made from the highway tax accord
ing to the new law.

A KEY TO DRAFT NUMBER

Clerk Moore has worked out key
or guide for Vernon county registra-
tion that is simple and correct, BY
applying the rule any one registered
can tel the number that represents
him az Washington, and the number
that will go in the draft hopper.
HERE Is THE EXPLANATION:
To find your serial number, or the
number that represents you at Wash
ington, add the number of your regis
tratiou certificate TO the key number
of the precinct in which you register
ed, except in the town of Stark, where
you will add ONE to the certificate
number, and then add the total to the
key number for Stark. The only eX-
ception to the above rule is Henry ".
Sanders of Stark, whose serial number
is 1854
