Crop Conditions in Wisconsin.

Cool weather prevailed the first
half of the week, but the latter half
was unseasonably warm. There was
very little rain. Corn is nearly all
cut and husking is in progress over
the greater part of the State. Potato
digging continues; yields good.
Meadows and pastures are in fair to
good condition. Fall blowing and
seeding are active, but somewhat
backward on account of dry ground.
Tobacco is practically all in the
sheds and curing well. Cranberries
are nearly all harvested; crop about
normal. Cranberry vines are in
good condition. The truck and apple
crops are large. Sugar beet harvest
is about to begin.

Electricity In Third
OF American Homes

Having expanded within the last
several decades until it is in the fore
front of Americas great trade activ-
tiles, the electrical industry reports
for 1921 that a total of 1856, 400
homes in the United States are now
wired for electricity, says the Chris
tan Science Monitor This is some
what more than third of the total
number of homes in the entire nation,
estimated at p, las, 100.
The number of homes wired for
electricity at he end of 1920 was s.
POI, 100, showing a gain for he year
1921 of 1,135,149 houses. The number
of residence customers increased by
1001, roo, amounting at the end of
1921 to S,467, 500.
The growth since 1915 is reflected
in the following statement of total
residence customers and the gain for
the years given: 1916, 4,006 300; 1917,
5.241.OOO; 1919, 6,517,600; 1921, S,467,-
600.
Leaders in the electrical trade pre-
dict that by 1923 there will be 1851
500 residence customers and by 1926
2,915, 600 These predictions indicate
the convictions of those in close touch
with this great industry relative to a
general revival of good business.
There are still 13,50S.0O0 homes tc
be wired, of which 5,363,531 are al
