AVERAGE CROP HARvESTS.

Taking reports from over the coun-

erage for yields the Herald submits
the following:
Wheat 25 to 80 bushels.
Oats so to go bushels.
Barley 40 to 60 bushels.
Rye 20 bushels (northern part of the
county only.)
Corn in some sections is far behind.
This is due to late planting. Corn
put in early is above the ten year av-

To the Editor Of the Grant County
Lancaster, Wisconsin,
Dear Sir:
With your permission l would like
to answer an advertisement of the
Wisconsin Brewers Association in
last weeks issue of the Herald I'M
der the caption 'sWho Must Paw
The day after your issue of the 7th
the following letter came into the Of
flee of the District Attorney:
Aug. Z, 1918.
District Attorney,
Lancaster, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:
At the request of our association
at their last meeting / am writing you
regarding one
OF this place. He is a widower and
has two children about 10 and 12 re-
spectively. They are living in a filthy
house with no bedding except such
as is covered with filth and vermin.
He provides little or nothing for food
and they depend on what they can
steal and beg. He spends his time
running errands and loafing at the
saloons. We do not feel that we
should allow these children to be
brought up in this way and are writ
ing you to see what action we can
take in the matter. What can be
done with the children? 1t is use
less to try to get him to take care
of them and if we do and if we do
we will be doing all we can to bring
up two criminals. Kindly let us hear
from you as to what legal action can
be taken in this matter.
Yours very truly,
