STATE CROP REPORT FOR JULY

A hay crop 27ao less than last
year and smaller production all
small grains5-are forecasts con-
tanned in the July report of the State
and Federal Crop and Livestock
Reporting Service at Madison. The
oat crop prospect is 1870 and the
barley prospect ia less than last
year.
Lack of rainfall and backward
spring have brought about the short
hay crop and lower conditions of all
small grains. Hay is thin and short,
and the hot weather Of the third
week in June brought on cutting a
week to ten days earlier than usual.
Oats have headed out generally on
very short straw. Pastures have
been grazed short and are in poor
condition due to lack Of rainfall.
Hay Crop Is Short
Condition of all tame hay was es-
timated by crop correspondents to be
$50 of normal. Last year the con-
dition was 900. Timothy is ex-
tlemely thin and clover made short
growth, correspondents estimating
the condition of thimothy to be $3.50
of normal and of clover 500. Alfalfa
has withstood the drouth and seasonal
conditions better than the other hay
crops, the condition being 82Re Of
normal. Condition of all hay crops
is somewhat better in the northern
part than in the southern part OF
Wisconsin.
Dat Production Below Average
Condition of oats was $40 OF
normal or points below last years
condition and 2 points below the 1921
condition. In only scattering locali-
ties Of the State has rainfall been
large enough for good growth OF the
oat crop. Based upon the July l
condition, the production of oats in
Wisconsin is estimated to be SO mil
lion bushels compared to 102 million
bushels last year, and 5-year aver
age production of go million bushels.
The condition of barley was $40,
which is points below last years
condition and points below the To-
year average condition. Production
is forecasted to be Is million bushels
as compared to IA million bushels
produced last year.

An Art Exhibit By
River Falls Artists

We know that all sides of our life
must be cultivated in order to make
a well-rounded whole.
Our City Fathers, the Improvement
League and other interested citizens
have looked to the civic betterment
of our city, resulting in the Library
and Rest Rooms, the White Way, and
the beautiful park with well-equip-
ped lodge and kitchen for the con-
venience of our home people and our
tourist gusets.
Our music has not been neglected
for through the Mcdowell Club, the
pupil recitals and vesper services we
have had many opportunities for
pleasure in this field.
Through our Literary Clubs and
the Lyceum and Chautauqua courses
we have kept in touch with the out
side world.
We in River Falls are unusually
favored through living in one of the
most beautiful valleys to be found.
The colors in the different seasons,
the hills and mounds with sky in the
distance, make pictures about us
every day, had we eyes to see.
Two of our home people have made
it a part of their life work to see
these pictures and then to put on can
vas what they have seen, that they
may share with others this pleasure.
In the past our artistic taste has
been appealed to by exhibitions OF
outside artists, given at the Normal
school,
But this week we are to have the
privilege of viewing the work of our
own talented artists, Margaret Spen-
Ger Davidson, who has consented to
show few of her canvases, and
Homer Elertson, who will show about
thirty of his pictures, painted in
Florida and in the eastern states,
and in Brittany, the Pyrenees, and in
Spain.
This exhibition will be in the
gymnasium in South Hall on Frio
(tomorrow) and Saturday afternoons
from 2 to 5, and on Sunday, July %,
from to 6.
1t is hoped that every person in
River Falls will consider this per-
sonal invitation to be present.

Hurd's Outlaws Win;
Stan Chinook is Star

The benefit baseball game last
Thursday afternoon, between Hurd's
All Stars and Ellsworth's Pierce
county champs, was great success
in every way. The proceeds, amount
ing to $S2, cleared the Rod & Gun
Clubs obligations in their original
purchase for the proposed Glen Park
zoo, and left little balance after all
expenses were paid. The two cub
bears cost the Club $50; that amount
being paid to DR.. Dawson and R. L.
Williams, who had paid few dollars
more for them up in Bayfield, county.
The game itself was a dandy. and
River Falls won, IL to 0. Stan.
Chinook, twirling for the locals, had
the Ellsworth batters at his mercy
throughout, and with excellent sup
port not only shut the visitors out,
but allowed only three runners to
reach first base. Only 20 batters
faced him in the nine innings. Three
hits were made off his delivery,
scorching single through short,
double into the autos in left field,
and a fielder's choice which fell in
side the diamond. This accounted
for the only three men to reach first
base safely, and one of these was
thrown out trying to steal. Stan.
had eight strike-outs to his credit,
and didn't walk man or make a
wild pitch; he also had two put-outs
end three assists.
G. Shannon, the Hub tosser, had
ID strike-outs to his credit, but his
own poor fielding, wild throws and
passes contributed as largely as any
thing else to River Falls victory.
The River Falls band played on
Main street when the stores closed
at o'clock for the game, then march
ed to the campus and played couple
of tunes before the battle started.
Park Custodian konichek had the two
cub bears on the campus, and their
antics amused the crowd and popular
lied the park zoo idea immensely.
The game in detail is herewith re-
ported by our Twilight League scribe.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
By III. G. Seyforth,,.

Government crop reports show
that the hay crop is twenty per cent
less than last year. Timothy is
sc per cent of normal, clover SO per
cent, while alfalfa stands at the head
of the list, 80 per cent of normal.
Another good reason why we should
grow alfalfa. Dat crop is 81 per cent
of normal, barley, 81 per cent. The
potato acreage has been increased
IL per cent. The corn crop seems to
be the best in the last 10 years.
An increase Of nine tenths of one
per cent OF number of pigs saved
from narrowing in six months ending
June l, 1928, as compared with the
number saved during same period
last year, is reported by the survey
just completed.
Remember the big field demonstra-
ton trip to be held in the eastern
part of Pierce County July 26th
starting at the Albert Nelson farm,
Spring Valley at 900 a. m. and end
ing at the Gustafson Bros. farm,
Maiden Rock, at 400 p. m. There
will be something of interest for
everybody and we hope that many
will attend this trip.
The Bee Chautauqua will be held
at Madison, Wis.,, August 18th to 10.
Every person interested in bee keep
ing should try to attend this meet
ing, as authorities on bee keeping
from all over the world will be
present and give talks. Program
can be seen at this office.
Hog cholera is reported to have
broken out in Dane, Walworth, Fond
du Lac and Rusk Counties. All in
fected herds have been vaccinated
and efforts made to prevent the
spread of the disease. Remember
vaccination is only preventive and
not a curative agent. If any of your
hogs are noticed to have any symp-
toms of hog cholera veterinarian
should be called at once to investi-
gate.
The northwest Dairy Show will be
held in connection with the Minnesota
State Fair from September list to
8th. The premiums for dairy cattle
at the state fair have been doubled
so that the smaller breeders of a few
good cattle will have chance to
get some premiums which will help
pay expenses of showing. We hope
that there will be some cattle shown
from this county.
Canada has set another star in the
milky way. A Canadian Holstein
cow, De Kol Plus Segis Dixie, has
just established new worlds record
for butter fat production. She pro-
ducad 33,529.5 lbs. milk containing
1904 lbs. of butter fat (1,725.s lbs.
butter) in 365 days on semi-offical
test. This record leads that of her
nearest rival, Agassiz Segis May
Echo, also Canadian Holstein, by
2,643.5 lbs. milk and 35.4 lbs. butter
fat. (44.25 lbs. butter).

CHANGE IN HIGHWAY IL

The State Highway Commission re-
ports that among other changes in
highway IL yellowstone Tiail) a
relocation and realignmeaG has been
made whereby the route will be
Strengthened through Knapp (not go
ing onto Main street, and will keep
on the south side Of tire Omaha
tracks, connecting again near the
west end of the first viaduct east of
Hersey. This eliminates the railway
crossing at Hersey.
The Knapp stretch has always been
in horrible condition, and a new road
there will certainly be appreciated by
all.

ate in being able to secure these
animals at small cost, $3.50 for the
