HARD WINTERS IN
EARLY WISCONSIN

The pioneers of Wisconsin were
prone in later years to tell about three
hard winters. These We're the winters
of 1S42-43, 1848-49, and 1861 1t
is impracticable to give exact data as
to the cold and the amount of snow
experienced each Of those winters, but
naturally the earliest one was in some
respects the most terrible on account
Of the settlers unpreparedness for
weatkering it. The Historical Society
has, in the letters of Edwin Bottom
ley, which it published in 1918, an ex-
cellent detailed account of the winter
of 1928. When the next hard
winter came il was compared with
the winter Of 1913. Men said that
it was the most severe Of any winter
experienced in Wisconsin except the
one mentioned But the winter 1856
81 was generally conceded to be more
severe than either of the earlier ones.
In fact, the editor of the Wisconsin
Farm declared sit has been wholly
unequalled in severity by anything of
the kind recently experienced by our
new country settlers" A description
of this cold winter through the United
States in general was given by the
| Scientific American, which declares:
1.-THE present has been the coolest
| weather in the United States, within
the memory of man, and it has been
distinguished by high winds and drift
ing SHOWS, which have obstructed ira
| vel to an extent never before known
since the introduction of railways"
In southwestern Wisconsin. pioneers
| used to tell how the deer, forced to
leave the forests and come to the
farmsteads for food, would sink
through the crust of snow and floun-
der about in it until the farmer, run
ming over the hard-crusted surface
with an ak, would slay them at his
own sweet will. That winter practic-
ally made an end of the deer through
cut southern and southeastern Wis
consin. Very few survived. The stor-
les Of beleagured homesteads, while
| less tragic than the stories of blizzard
| bound prairie farmers of the later
| time, are still intensely interesting te
those who received them from the lips
of the pioneer settlers themselves.

COUNTY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MEETING AT MADISON

The county superintendent of the
state held rousing meeting in AS
sembly chamber of the Capitol the
18th. 10Th and Goth of January. That
the special license teacher must go
was the sense of the meeting. The use
of teachers who cannot even meet the
legal qualifications is a menace to
the country schools. The country chill
dren are already handicapped by a
shorter school year, too small schools
and limited equipment without giving
them the least qualified teachers in
the state. 1t is a fact that practically
all of the five or six hundred unquali-
fled teachers who were given special
licenses to teach this year are in the
country schools. Superintendent Cal
lahan took a strong stand against the
use of these teachers and the county
superintendent endorsed his attitude
by voting to ask the repeal of the law
which now permits the state surerin-
tendent to issue licenses to teachers
without the regular legal qualifica-
tions. The law which was passed to
provide for epidemics and great emer-
geneies is now being appealed to so
generally without any emergency .as
to menace the school opportunity of
cur boys and girls. If the state is
short of qualified teachers, as it is,
the thing to do is to bend every eff
fort to remedying conditions which
produce such a shortage, instead of
falling back on law which permits

FROM THE STATE CAPITOL

The epidemic of fires which came
upon Madison during Jan. has led
to considerable speculation as to the
cause of so many outbursts. In one
case where fire started on the roof
of a large rooming house and des-
troyed the entire roof, neighbor
is convinced that the fire was the di-
rect result of using soft coal. Soft
coal this neighbor contends with its
imperfect combustion coats pipes
and chimneys with SCOT. This will
frequently ignite and be carried out

Now that taxing paying time is
upon us and we are to learn that
taxes are higher, it may aid us in
recognizing more clearly the newt
able upward tendency of taxes in
this state. There is no escape from
this, so long as the state continues to
progress in material way, and liv-
ing here is becoming more agreeable.
So long will we have to pay for these
blessings. In this correspondence
last week refence was made to the
fact that tuberculosis has become
quite prevaent in poultry, Here
is a problem that involves all prin-
ciples of increasing cost of govern
ment. Shall we keep hands off and
let our poultry beultimately destroy
ed, or shall the state spend some
money in an effort to stay the pro-
gress Of the desease and save the
poultry? Its up to the taxpayers
to say. In regard to tuberculosis in
humans the taxpayers have eradicat-
ion of the desease at whatever cost.
There are many other troubles be-
sides tuberculosis that need attention

been impossible with some of the
types. The demand for Ford en-
closed cars has been especially hard
to meet, due to the ever-incrasing
popularity of the coupe and the Sc
dan for all year around use.
A reflection of general business is
seen in the record of Ford truck
sales, which show an ihc1c-se of
eighty-four per cc:::1 over last year.
Merchants and farmers alike have
come to recognize the utility Of the
motor truck in cutting transportation
costs and speeding up deliveries, and
the fact that they are buying nearly
twice as many now as year ago

ditions.
