each morning and evening to milk the
cows for neighbor who was i'll.
In Providence, r. l., Boy Scout
Troop No. p earned over $40 and
then bought yarn for the Red Cross
to be knitted for the soldiers and

In appreciation Of services rendered

Mayor e. Frank Morgan presented 81
scouts with medals bearing the seal

First Premium on Gold.

The first quotation of gold at a
premium in the United States oc-
Cured fifty-eight years ago. By Oc-
tober of 1861 its currency value had
advanced to 125. The United States
government had negotiated its first
war loan to carry on the conflict
against the South early that year, the
secretary of the treasury stipulating
that payment for the bonds be made
in gold In consequence, millions in
gold coin were drawn from the banks,
which were compelled to suspend
specie payment. 1t has been alleged
by some critics that the suspension of
specie payment, which cost the tax
payers of the United States untold
millions, might have been avoided had
the banks been permitted to pay other
money than gold for the bonds.

THIS SCOUT "ALWAYS THERE

Scout Francis Coon, the standard
bearer who carries the troop flag of
Carbonate, Pa, Troop No. 2, is fifteen
years old, feet 10 inches high and
weighs 471z pounds.
The scout is not discouraged because
of his small stature, for he says he
grows a little every once in while"
He has no reason to be discouraged,
for his record in war work for Uncle
Sam is one which any scout might
envy. In the second Liberty loan cam
paign, he sold eight bonds. In the
third, 13 bonds, and in the fourth, PIT
bonds. He has used 81 red postcards,
making War Savings stamp sales to
the amount of about $500.
During the black walnut census, he
found four trees. One of these was
eight miles from his home, another Is
and the last two 25 and 35 miles re-
spectively. He went five miles to spot
another, which he remembered having
seen, but when he arrived at the spot
found that the tree had been cut down.
When asked to describe his method
of selling Liberty bonds, he said: II
get hold of fellow think ought to
buy bond and hang onto his coat tail
until he does"

the conditions for growing of crops
may prove more favorable in the nor
them area, even for the corn crop,
than elsewhere.
1t is mistaken idea to believe that
every variety of corn will do well in q
given section of the country. This is
not true. Much depends upon the
length of season and varieties as are
acclimated. The Agronomy Depart
ment of the College of Agriculture,
University of Wisconsin, recommends
Wisconsin yellow Dents No. Is and
No. s, for the extreme northern sec
tion of the state and the Golden Glow
No. IL for the lower portion of this
area OF course, all flint corn varieties
will do we'll in the northern areas.
Much care should be exercised in
planting only unmixed pure bred
varieties. Corn is one of the farm crops
that respond easily to methods of
treatment. One bushel of seed will
plant from six to seven acres when
checked rowed three kernels in a
hill, and hills three feet apart each
way. When drilled in rows for silage,
one bushel will plant from three to
four acres. 1t is important that every
farmer select the variety that is best
adapted to his section of the state.
Use corn that will mature from 80 to
100 days in the more northern Sec
tions of the state. Later maturing
varieties can be planted farther south.
It is evident that this new north
area with the natural conditions fav
orable to the production of live stock
and home grown feed, will soon be
recognized as place where the
healthiest, most vigorous and profit
able dairy cows, sheep and hogs can
be raised With the coming of the
county agent into the county, who
furnishes advice free of charge to
farmers on all things for the better
ment and the development of agricul-
ture, there is every reason to believe
that this northern country will some
day be classed among the best protein
crop and live stock production sec
tions in the United States. Glover

The northern hale OF Visions n
agriculturally now looms up higher
and brighter than ever before. No
crop was grown to better advantage
last year in this as yet undeveloped
empire than was the corn crop. 1t
excels both in forage and seed. Some
years ago it used to be thought by
those who best knew that the soil
and climate in this area were too cold;
that the season for growing the crop
was too short; that corn would not
properly mature and would generally
prove q failure. On the other hand
it was early recognized that this sec
ton of the state was best adapted to
the raising of grains and root crops.
The fact that practically all the
varieties of corn, both flint and
dent, matured so well last year
means an additional asset to Nor
thern Wisconsin. The ability of a
given section of a county to grow sue
cessfully larger variety of crops
gives it increased usefulness and re-
duces the margin of possible failure,
over the section where only one or
two crops can be grown proftably.
For instance, when the early part OF
the season is blessed with sufficient
amount of rainfall properly distribu-
ted, grasses, grains, and vegetables
usually do well. However, should a
short period of drouth come early and
the early crops suffer for want of rain,
such late season crops as corn, pota1
toes and root crops will be well. A
farmer is usually safe in anticipating
at least some good crops every year,
under existing conditions.
With the dairy industry so flourish
ing in the state, the corn crop may be
of right classed as fundamental be-
cause it furnishes silage, succulent
feed for the dairy COW and the feed
for other live stock on the farm. Corn,

trinity, and upon which all good
farming in this section of the country,
or for tha0 matter, anywhere, must
rest. With these three factors intro
duced into the method of farming, a
farmer lays the foundation Tor trade
and industry. He has started some
thing that is safe in agricultural
practice and forms a basis for good
farming.
Fully one fifth of the area in corn
raised in Wisconsin was last year
grown in the twenty-nine northern
counties of the state 1t is estimated
that the crop yielded nearly Is, DOC, 900
bushels out of total of 77,678, 900
bushels in the state. The condition
of the corn crop in the northern Sec
ton of the state as estimated by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates, State De-
partment of Agriculture, averaged
los per cent on October 1st, while the
condition of the crop in the other sec
tions of the state averaged 81 per cent
at the same time. 1t demonstrates
the fact that there may be times when
