ADVERSE WEATHER CAUSE
OF CROP PROSPECT SLUMP

MADISON-AdVerSe weather 4
February and early March has caused
an appreciate decline in condition Of
winter grains and grasses since they
entered the cold months, Joseph A.
Becker, crop reporter, says in his
monthly report Wednesday. Winter
wheat and clover are reported to have
been affected particularly.
With planted acreage OF 100000
and assuming an average abandon
ment, the report says that produc-
ton of 100000 bushels of winter
wheat can be forcasted for 1922, COM
pared to 1,424,000 bushels in 1921 and
a five-year average OF 1,728,000. The
condition of the crop on April l was
IS per cent compared to "a per cent
on December 1 last, 80 per cent a
wear ago, and a ten-year average OF
"a per cent.
Ice Sleet Damaged.
Much of the winter wheat acreage
of the state is located in the southern
and eastern districts where ice and
sleet storms of February caused d
heavy damage to crops.
The wisconsin rye crop is said TO
have suffered less than the wheat,
due largely to the fact that the pr1n-
cipal acreage is located in the central
and northern counties, where there
was a protective covering of snow
during the winter. Production fore
cast is given at 6,041, 900 bushels, COM
pared to 4,756,000 in 1921. Condition
on April / is reported as go per cent
normal, compared to 95 per cent on
December /, SO per cent a year ago
and a 10-year average OF 81 per cent.
The planted acreage is estimated at
377,O0O compared to 32S,000 in 1921.
According to the report the condi-
ton of hay meadows is 81 per cent
normal as compared to "a per cent a
year ago, with the condition in the
southern counties higher than in the
southern half of the state.
Brood SOWS Increase.
An increase of per cent is noted
in the number of brood sows which
have risen to 418000. Three success
sive good corn crops are said to have
stimulated hog raising in Wisconsin.
The report says that the supply of
hired hands at current wages is re-
ported at 108 per cent of year ago
and 104 per cent of normal, while the
demand is 80 per cent of last year and
81 per cent of normal. This indicates
the report says, that the supply is
ia per cent of the demand. Last
year the supply was 1902 per cent OF
the demand as compared to "a per
cent in 1920.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

A successful Question and Ans
wer'' column is one of the hardest
things in the world to conduct. The
Muscoda Progressive has column
devoted to this paper and it is one OF
the interesting features of the paper.
Here are a few bits from last week:
H. S. Muscoda-It it sign of love
when a couple are seen walking down
street holding hands?
Answer-No. It's a sign they're not
married.
Subscriber, Boscobel-What can l
do to stop people from talking when
1 go down into my cellar?
Answer-Stop making home brew.
L. K, Gays Mills am expecting
gentleman friend from out of town
to visit me about Easter time. |
would like to know how to entertain
him in a swell way?
Answer-The event might be
married by being too swell" if you
attempt anything that is not just
natural. We think an informal eve
ming party would be the best way for
your friends to meet him.
Reader, Muscoda-Please answer
this in your paper: What do you think
of girl that hangs around after 4
fellow that we know doesn't care for
her. l notice we have such girls in
! Muscoda. Thank you.
Answer-She is rather foolish, in
deed.
Reader, Blue River would like
to ask you if the word chicken" ,
when referred to a girl, is properly
used or is it modern slang?
Answer Chicken" in that sense is
used as modern slang, although die
tionaries recognize its use as mean
ing a young or timid person" The
expression, however, is ancient, as
Jonathan Swift used it.
r. T., Muscoda-Does it pay to be
crooked?
A. We don't think so, because
most of the once-busy corkscrews are
now idle.
Reader, Muscoda-Please answer
this in your @. & A. Where would
you apply the term. Cheap Skate"
to a person? Don't you think we
have few in Muscoda? Thank you.
A. When anybody stops their
paper and posters their neighbors
each week by borrowing. You will
find them everywhere.
Reader, Boscobel-I am desperate
ly in love with girl II years old and
l am 81. She's just crazy about me,
but I think she is little backward
about it. We want to get married
when she is of age. 1 haven't got
much saved up, but lot of love. What
is your advice?
A. Both of you had better wait a
few years and then see if you love
each other. In the meantime save
and get something more substantial
than love. Let the girl be free to go
with other before she makes decls-
ion
nj. H., Muscoda-May l ask you in
the question column why the govern
ment preferred single men to married
men to fight in the World War.
A. The reason is obvious. Mar
ried men had the fight knocked out
of them at the start.

WARNING AGAINST
DANGEROUS DISEASES

MADISON.-Th State Veterinarian
of the Wisconsin Department OF Ag-
riculture issues a warning to the peO-
pie of the State concerning the wide
spread infection of foot and mouth
disease in Great Britain. According
to last reports from the q. S. Bureau
of Animal Industry there were 600
herds slaughtered in Great Britain
between January LIST, and March 9TH,
totaling 43,735 head of cattle. The
United States has thus far been for
tunate in escaping this plague There
is great danger that the virus may
be brought over in clothing OF 1mml-
grants, or on hay or straw used for
the packing of crockery and other
matter from foreign parts. All ma
terial for packing received from for
eign ports should be promptly de-
stroyed by burning.
The greatest danger, no doubt, IS
from foreign immigrant labor, ana
any one employing such labor should
observe due care that all clothing Is
duly fumigated before any such per-
son is allowed to mingle with any
cloven hoofed animal. Any SUSPECT
Gus cases no matter in what part OF
the state, that is observed exhibiting
a sore mouth should be examined
promptly by a veterinarian and all
such cases should be isolated until 1t
has been fully determined that the
disease is not present. Besides Eng
land, large area Of the main land
of Europe is also infected with foot
and mouth disease and the same pre-
cautions should be observed in their
connection. The last outbreak OF the
foot and mouth disease appeared in
the southern part of Michigan III
1914. No satisfactory explanation has
been arrived at as to how that infec-
ton was brought there. This result
ed in a loss of considerable live stock,
but no doubt, resulted in greater loss
due to the inconvenience occasloned
the shipper. 1t was promptly stamped
out in 1915 and no cases have been
found in the United States since. Ii
an outbreak does occur at this time,
we hope that it will be discovered
early and that it may be stamped out
before it has chance to spread.

MILWAUKEE BONE DRY?

The editor Of the Gillette Times at

Milwaukee. we have learned. is

Recently Mrs. John Blair and Mrs.
Norman de Whitehouse. long proali-
nent in suffrage work and other wom-
ems organizations and legislative ac-
tivitics, announced that they were
going into the leather business for the
distinct purpose of opening up another
occupation to women. They are con-
WINGED that in this way they will per-
form the biggest service that they can
now render women. they are quoted as
saying.
The biggest question now Is not
how to open up more occupations for
women, but how to open the way to
executive positions. according to Miss
Mary Van sleeck. formerly director
of tho womon's bureau OF the depart

head OF the Industrial research of the
