The crop report for last week fol-
lows: Showers throughout the
state have improved all crops, but in
north-central and northwestern coun-
ties more rain is badly needed by
corn, late potatoes and pastures, and
to put the ground in condition for fall
blowing. Much corn in several west
central counties is being cut for fod-
der. The nights have been too cool
for corn and for cranberries. Thresh-
ing of small grains is completed in
several localities. The yields are re-
ported as generally good. Threshing
has been delayed by rains in some
southern counties. Beans, peas, ap-
pies and plums are fair to good.
There is a good crop of rather small
tomatoes. Sugar beets and tobacco
are doing well, but need rain in some
sections"

Mr.. and Mrs. Knoller were those
from here who were at Mosinee in at
tendance at the funeral services for
the late j. 2. Sill. In the death of Mr..
Sill MoSinee lost one of its very best
citizens. He was booster all of the
time for anything that would tend to
benefit his home town, and the sur
rounding country. Never so tired
with his strenuous work, to give just
a little more energy for the better
ment OF the community in which he
with his family resided. When our
| country was in trouble and we were
| trying to organize a Red Cross unit
here, the deceased was the first one
| to come forward and lend a helping
| hand. Again, when the good roads
| movement was on, he was here again
doing his bit, to help along what he
thought was good for the county in
| general. More like him, possessed
with that broad spirit, not always
thinking of self first, is what this
world needs. With his estimable fam
lily he visited here at different times.
| and we sincerely regret his early TAX
ing away, and also the loss of his
family from our midst, as it under
stood they expect to again take up
their residence in the east.

One-Mule VS..
TWo-Mule Rigs

Cultivation cost is largely reduced
by using adequate power harnessed to
modern cultiHating machinery. Fig
ures compiled by the United States
Department Of Agriculture in farm
management studies conducted upon
southern farms show that the two
mule team hitched to two-mule i'm
plement saves time and money over
the usual one-mule outfit. In Texas,
where the farms are comparatively
large, the Two or four mule hitch is
generally used, but the farmers in the
Southeastern States are inclined to de-
pend upon the single rig to do their
blowing, planting, and cultivating,
even where their acreage is large In
preparing the land for cultivating
crops the southeastern farmer with
his one mule makes FIVE trips across
his field to the Texas farmers one.
The Texas man cultivates both sides
of the row and the middle at a single
trip, but one-mule hitch must make
two or three trips to accomplish as
much. Moreover. the single-mule far
mer uses twice as much man labor as
does the chap who drives team. In
some cases the one-mule farmers get
around this difficulty by exchanging
mule labor and working two-mule
teams.
An Alabama farm study furnishes
a dollar-and-cents accounting Of the
two methods. when the rows were
laid out with the contour of the land
and cultivated only one way, the cost
Of cultivation was $1.3S an acre and
the hoeing cost 70 cents an acre.
When the corn was check-rowed. and
cultivated both ways, the cost of Gull
tivation was reduced to $1.10 an acre
and the hoeing cost was only 81 cents
an acre" Such treatment is only pos
sible with adequate machinery.
