A new ENTERPRISE HERE
TOBACCO STEMMING PLANT FOR
VIROQUA
Conditions are Not Favorable for the
Weed-Drought is Telling on
All Growing Crops

Outlook for potatoes, tobacco and
some other crops is not the best at
this minute. This locality has had no
rain of consequence since the Fourth
of July, and conditions are becoming
anything but favorable. Fruits. gar
den truck and pastures are brown and
injured. Coupled with the lack of
moisture, the insect pests seem to be
especially numerous and destructive.
The green hoppers have seriously in
jured potatoes, cueumbers are blight
ing badly, apples, cabbages, and other
truck are badly infested. Some day
we are going to be face to face with
the problem of spraying every crop
unless the Sirds-the natural enemy
of insects-are studiously protected.
Crows. some varieties of hawks and
owls, the fox, weasel, skunk, the stray
cat and the small boys air rifle and
nest robbing proclivities-. these are
the factors which play hob with our
songsters and insect-eaters.

There are a few jam-up tobacco
crops, but as a whole it is a very I'M
even and small showing. Topping
has commenced, but cannot be very
effective with such a variety of sizes.
The weather has been so hot and the
ground parched that slow growth has
been the order; in fact Some fields
show the ground more than tobacco
plant growth. 1t is feared that the
growth will be seriously stunted if
rain fails 10 fall for another week.

nent for Bra dley. None of the top-notch heavyweights of Australia was available, and just when it began to look as if no foeman could be found for Bradley, fel- low walked in and announced:
 T know of a fighter by the name of Jeremiah Jertme. He is a native of Queensland, ana he is a pretty good bat tier. l can euai antee his appearance to- night to fight Bradley if you want him.
 Jerome showed up that night for the ffght-H years old, million miles re- rnoved from the condition of his youth ard as fat as a turkey few days before Thanksgiving. The crowd figured at once that it would be rething but slaaghtrs of the Tcor old veteran.
 Bradley undoubtedly reasoned the same way. So in the first round he just took things easy and never really offered to do any effective hitting. Jerome fought much after the fsskicn that had been ex- pected. He just widowed around, mak- ing few wiId Sy .ugs here and .hsre, and would lumber . yS about ever time tta' Bradley himself to releas ;;,~ punches.

 "The men came out of their corners ir easy fashion in the sixth round. and then things began to happen that furnished one of the most thrilling chapters in Aus tarlian ring history.
 A RALLY
 Apparently Jerome had been playing possum all through the first five rounds For. as he got within striking range 1T the sixth, he let loose right-hander thai hooked into Bradley's stomach with ter rife force. Even before Bradley had . chance to regain his wind the old boy was peppering him with lefts and rights The storm of blows swept Btadley from one side of the ring to the other and laid hin into the ropes three different times. The youngster was like novice in the hands of the old-timer
 "Feebly, once or twice Bradley tried tC hit back, but to no avail. The old fellow kept on top of him and drove one puncf after another into vulnerable spots. Al last Jerome set himself for a left hook and when it went crashing into Bradley: jaw the youthful giant went down for thu count of nine. He came to his feet stag gering, bleeding and dazed. The veteran squared away once more to send over th' finishing punch, when the bell rang ant saved Bradley from the second knock down.
 with the ringing Of the seventh rouns gong the crowd jumped to it's feet ans shrieked to the old man to go ahead ant finish Bradley. Sympathy certainly wa with the veteran. And with all thu strength left in his body he attempted il the seventh to slip over a knock -ou punch. But the minute of rest had en abled Bradley to recuperate slightly. and furthermore, he had become wary and fell into quite number of clinches to

 "As they came out for the eighth the old boy was through. Those two rounds of hurricane battling had sapped his strength and his vitality. He hadn't trained at all for the fight and the six minutes of real work had burned out his lighting batteries.
