COUNTY AGENT. REPOTS USUAL
ACREAGE OF ALL CROPS
Much New Clearing Has Been Done
This Spring Crops are in good Con-
dition and Everything Points to .
Normal Yield.

From information obtained at this
season of the year County Agricul-
tural Agent v. E. Brubaker believes
that there is no crop shortage in Bay
field county but on the contrary .
larger amount has, been planted TO
crops this season than during former
years.
The estimate Of the County Agent
is to tho effect that there is about 40
O0e acres of the different crops in
Bayfield, county this season, about
two OF three thousand acres of which
are in potatoes, about $1,000 acres in
grains, and about 10000 acres in hay
and forage crops, while there is also
good acreage of root crops, besides
the usual acreage Of fruits and small
berries.
Crop conditions at the present time
are looking fine throughout the coun-
ty. The season has been somewhat
backward and some of the root crops
are not as far advanced as they might
be, but on. whole the rains of the
past week have made the crops fairly
jump from the ground and with sea-
sCnSole weather from this time on
there will be a bumper crop of almost
everything Hay is a trifle short but
the stand is good and rains have been
needed to make the grasses grow,but
there Il now plenty Of moisture in the
ground to greatly improve the hay
80 thst it win be heavy by the tirae
haying season comes.
There has been large acreage
cleared in Bayfield, County this
spring. The farmers have followed
the advice to increase their fields
even tiovgh explosives might be high
and n.any .clearings thfoughout the
con,aty have ben enlarged.
Bayfield, cunty is rapidly coming
to the front as one of the leading
agricultural and dsirying counties Of
the state.

The members of F. w. Downs elec-
trical force have been having a
breathing spell again after one of
busiest times they have had in many
day after the ending of the severe
electrical storm which ragged over
this section last Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, and they say they do not
wish fir another occurance of the
trouble which has kept them going
almost continually night and day.
1t was almost a steady bill, crash
and bang for three days and nights
and as each flash of lightning came
the members of the lighting company
force held their breath waiting for
the lights to go off again, which
meant trouble for them on the lines
somewhere.
During the greater part of one
night the lights were off because of a
break in the power line the other side
of Ashland and on several occasions
the power was off for short intervals
when breaks occurred between here
and Ashland.
The ordinary householder merely
hunted up an old lamp or brought a
candle into use and then in due time
went to bed and to sleep, but not so
with the electrical workers, for it
was then time for them to get out
into the storm and repair the damage.
Aside from few breaks in the main
line and the burning out Of several
transformers in this city the damage
was slight, but on the other side Of the
bay the trouble was more severe and
much damage was done to power
lines, etc., and all of this affected the
supply of electricity in this city for
both supplies come from the same
source, which is the water power dam
located or the White River and also
from power dsms located near Iron
wood.
The lighting force is again resting
easy, but they say that if the storm
had continued much longer all would
have been nervous wrecks.
The electrical storms this year have
been more severe than ordinary.
