THE Wisconsin Crop Reporting Serv-
ice in its report of September 13 shows
that spring wheat at the time of har-
vest was only 81 per cent of normal, or
about 100000 bushels, as compared
with the five year average of 81 million
bushels. Including the winter wheat,
the total for Wisconsin this year il
1900, 900 bushels. The total wheat
crop for the United States is, however,
about million bushels larger than last
years crop, or 923 million bushels.
The harvest forecast for oats for the
state is 1855, 900 bushels, the, five
year average being over 80 million
bushels. For the whole country the
oats crop is below the five year aver
age, and over 300 million bushels less
than the crop of 1918. The tame hay
shows an increase of 1000, 900 tons over
last year, but the wild meadows pro-
duced $4,000 tons less than last year.
The timothy crop is somewhat lighter
than last year; $4,000 bushels more
clover seed produced than last year,
but $50, 600 bushels less than 1917. The
alfalfa crop is considerably larger than
last year, both for the state and the
whole country. The corn crop forecast
for Wisconsin is IA, 347, 900 bushels,
which is million bushels more than
last year, and for the United States
the increase over last year is estimated
at nearly 200 million bushels. The po-
tato crop is smaller than last year by
nearly million bushels, and the crop
is nearly SO million bushels short of
last years crop for the country as a
whole.

The state of Wisconsin aims to do
the right thing by its soldiers. Not
only did the bonus carry with an 80 per
cent vote, but the board of education
has submitted bill giving the soldiers
who desire it an additional bonus in the
so-called Tuition bill now before the
legislature. 1t will cost the state about
Sd, 600, 00C for the first year, less mil
lion dollar Offset from the bonus bill,
but the money needed should not be
looked upon as an expense; rather as
an investment. An intelligent and we'll
trained manhood is the chief asset of a
commonwealth.

The Oklahoma Farmers Union is
going the railroad brotherhoods one
better in their demands upon congress.
At their meeting in Clinton, Okla, they
made the following proposition: IF
congress in its wisdom sees fit to give
these railroad men their demands, we
ask that congress also buy all of the
farms in the United States, with their
equipment, and employ all the farmers
to operate them, paying to the farmers
wage equal to two-thirds of the hour
ly wage that the average railway en-
ploye receives; and then sell all farm
products to the consumer at cost.

THE death of John Mitchell, Septem-
Der 9th, removes from the world one
of it's notables. AS president of the

exerted great and far-reaching infiu-
.ence and became widely known as a
labor leader. Since 1915 Mr.. Mitchell
had been chairman of the New York
State Industrial commission. He died
after an operation for gall stones. He
stood in the prime of his strength and
was at his death only 40 years old.

Democratic Party has Enacted all
Reforms Demanded by 1912 Pro-
gressive Platform

From Speech Delivered by Chair
man Homer S. Cummings, of the De
mocratic National Committee, a
Wichita, Kan.
| Only few houre ago, one of my
| associates who is with me here hand
ed me a copy of what was called "A
Contract With the People," a plat
form of the Progressive party adopt.
ed at it's first national convention in
Chicago, August 1882. After some
preambles clarifying both Jefferson
and Lincoln, it begins this way: 1.-THE
deliberate betrayal of its trust by the
Republican party, and the fatal in
capacity of the Democratic party to
deal with the new issues of the new
time, have compelled the people to
forge new instrument of government
through which to give effect to their
will in laws and institutions"
And SO they founded their party be-
cause they wanted certain new and
necessary social legislation and be-
cause, as they believed, the Republi-
can party had betrayed it's trust, hav-
ing had an opportunity and having
failed to improve it, and that the De-
mocratic party was incapable of carry
ing through these great reforms.
Now, they we're correct in their
first proposition-that the Republican
party had betrayed its trust and no
longer was worthy OF the confidence
of the American people, but they we're
wrong intheir suggestion that the
Democratic party was incapable of
carrying forward these new measures
and placing them in the structure of
our laws-remedial statutes which
have proved SO beneficent in their
operation, and SO splendid in their
effect that no opponent dares sug-
gest their repeal.
And just glancing through this Pro-
platform of 1912, ] find that
they ask for effective legislation look
ing to the prevention of industrial
occupational diseases, over
work. involuntary unemployment, and
other injurious by-products of modern
You all know what we have
done in the matter of vocational train
ing. You know what we have done in

pensation Act. You know that the

you know what the Federal employ
