Two Wisconsin Dairy Meetings.

The second meeting and the thirty
first meeting of the Wisconsin Dairy
mems Association were held in the
city of Fond du Lac. At the latter
meeting the president, ]. @. Emery
contrasted the conditions under which
the two meetings were held. In part
he said: The second annual meeting
of this association was held in the
council chambers in this city of Fond
du Lac, February II and IS, 1874. Al
that time Hon. w. d. Hoard, ther
secretary of the association, reported
the production Of cheese in this state
as 100000 pounds, which sold al
about 10 cents pound. The product
of the Wisconsin cheese factories fol-
1902 approximates 90,036,000 pounds
which at ten cents pound (probably
an INTERESTINGLY shows total esti
mated value of the cheese product o.
Wisconsin for 1902 to be $9.036,000
an increase of more than 500 pei
cent on the product OF 1878.
The published records of the Fonc
du Lac meeting for 1874 disclose nc
discussion whatever concerning the
production of butter. The production
of cheese only was considered. The
records of that meeting do not in any
way show the butter product in Wis
consin for that year. Such a thing
as our present system of creameries
was unknown and probably un
dreamed OF, and there were few pri
vate dairies. Contrast that condition
with the year 1902 when the factory
made butter in Wisconsin amounted
to 100000 pounds and the butter
produced upon the farms may be TAX
en- at 44,750,000 pounds. The estimat
ed value of creamery-made butter is
$14,975,000. and of the farm butter is
$S,950,000, making a total estimated
value of the entire butter product OF
Wisconsin for 1902, the sum of $23,
745,000.

Seed Corn for Illinois Farm Boys.

For the purpose of interesting the
boys in the County Farmers Institute
and introducing improved seed corn
into the several counties, the Illinois
Farmers Institute offers to furnish
package of seed corn, consisting of 500.
grains of some pure bred variety
grown by member Of the Illinois
Corn Breeders Association, to any boy
under Is years of age. who will send
his name and address and four cents
to pay postage on corn to A. B. Hos.
letter, Secretary, Springfield, Illinois.
This is done on condition that the corn
be grown by the boy as per the direc-
tons upon the package and sample
exhibited at the County Farmers In
stitute of the county in which the ap.
plicant lives, and that prizes are Of
fered for the same through the Coun-
ty Institute. The breeder and donator
of the corn, the name of the variety,

Growers Association, to assist in Sc.
lecting ten ears for exhibit. and the
directions for planting and keeping
record of same will all be printed on
the package containing the seed. Va.
rieties suitable to the latitude of the
applicant will be sent to each one
The County Institutes that have tried
this plan have aroused great interest
in the institute meetings and havo en-
couraged hundreds of boys to grow
bitter corn, to attend the institute
meetings and to become interested in
better methods of farming. All names
of boys desiring corn must be received
by the first OF April that all may get
the seed In time for planting.

and two miles north and south was

Young fax, grass, wheat, barley and
oats were moved down. and at the
date of my visit, June 26, the farmers
were complaining bitterly of 300
acre piece of stubble which had been
allowed to lie fallow for two years or
more and was very evidently the
breeding ground of the pest. In places
l found the ground brown with young
hoppers not yet ready to fly, and the
area referred to presented scene Of
desolation not easily forgotten. The
young hoppers were working south,
and on each succeeding visit found
their limit to be further south. Farm
ers in the neighborhood worked hero
ically in the fight against the unwel-
come visitation. and about 800 gal
Ions of oil were distributed by the
entomologist. This oil was judicious-
ly used, but the numbers of the in
sects were legion. and, though the
hopper-dozers were run back and forth
over the grain all day and day after
day and bushels Of oily corpses
dumped upon the road, the pests ap-
peared to be almost as numerous aft

Among the natural enemies of the
grasshoppers are the birds. In our

sparrows eating grasshoppers in the

Food for the Plum curculio.

Prof. F. M. Webster: The plum
curculio no longer confines itself to
the wild plum, though it does return,
if possible, to the woodlands there
to pass the winter among the fallen
leaves; but the plum orchard of the
horticulturist offers better feeding
ground, with larger and more attrac-
tive varieties than the wild plums of
the woodlands. The insect is ena-
bled to breed more unrestrained, and
greater supply of food is offered it,
than was possible under the old ex-
listing conditions. The inroads Of
birds upon its numbers in the prime
val woods are now greatly reduced,
and the few trees that happen to be
located in an occasional chicken park,
are the only ones where there is much
of the old time trouble from feathered
enemies. If there are not plums
enough, 1t can get along with the ear,
" peach and some of the apples, in
which to breed and feed.
