Financial conditions appear to be
gradually improving, and there is
little doubt that a more rapid adj
vance would be made along this
line were it not for the fact that an
active Presidential and Congress
ional campaign is soon to be com
menced. An unfortunate element of
uncertainty attends these political
upheavals which has an injurious
effect upon business interests.

Bulletin No. IL recently issued by
the State Horticultural Society gives
detailed description and methods Of
treatment of very dangerous dis
ease of young apple trees known
as Blight Canker. This disease at
tacks mainly young trees, s to Is
years old, killing the bark of the
franks in patches NJ attacks the
crotches, girdling Y the main
branches.
The disease appeared in the trial
orchard maintained by the Society
at Wausau and destroyed several
hundred trees before its nature was
known. 1t is widely distributed
through the state, having been
found in 26 counties.
The Blight Canker is a bacterial
disease and caused by the same
organisms that cause the we'll
known fire-blight" of the apple.
Too often injuries caused by this
canker are ascribed to "Sunscald,"
as winter killing. 1t cannot be con-
trolled by spraying. Treatment
consists in cutting out all diseased
bark, disinfecting the wound with
a two per cent solution of copper
sulfate or one-tenth per cent solu-
ton of corrosive sublimate, and
afterward covering with paint.
The Bulletin consists of "a pages
illustrated with II engravings. A
copy will be sent to any of the

Emergency Currency.

1t is gratifying to note that an
earnest effort is now being made in
Congress to provide for an emer-
gency currency which can quickly
be made available at seasons of the
year when more than the normal
quantity of currency is needed to
meet special demands made upon
the circulating medium. The bill
introduced by Senator Aldrich seems
to cover the matter in a very COM
prehensiye way, apparently safe
guarding the interests of all, and is
regarded by financial experts as
embodying an entirely feasible plan,
and absolutely safe emergency ar
rangement. There are two seasons
in each year when temporary ex-
pansion of the currency is required
to meet the legitimate demands of
business in the spring when
merchants, manufacturers and farm
ers are purchasing stocks of goods,
raw material, and farming imple-
ments, and in autumn when the
farmers and stock-growers wish to
dispose of their surplus products.
1t is the purpose of the Aldrich
measure to meet this requirement,
and Congress should not adjourn
until after having provided for some
thing reliable in this direction, the
demand for it being practically uni
versal throughout the country.

SWISS CHEEsEMAKERs' COURSE.

/ SWISS CHEESEMAKERS COURSE.
A ten days course in Swiss cheese
making will be given at the dairy
school of the University of Wiscon-
sin Feb. 1928. The course is de-
signed primarily for Swiss cheese
makers who, on account of the
pressure of the work in their
factories, are unable to attend the
regular winter course of instruction
of the dairy school.
The department of foreign cheese
! making of the school is well equip
ped, with a large steam heated
copper Swiss cheese kettle and
other appliances. Beside the in
struction in making of foreign
cheeses, the students will be given
opportunity to learn the Babcock
test, the use of the lactometer, and
various methods of making starters.
The course was inaugurated last
year, and was such a decided sue
cess that large attendance at the
dairy school is expected for the
coming session. Last year there
were fifteen native Swiss enrolled
for the work, and all were enthusi-
astic in their appreciation of the
instruction received. Those wish
ing detailed information regarding
the work of the course may address
Prof. G. H. Benkendorf at the dairy
school.
BOOK ON MILK TESTING.
The eighteenth edition of the
text book on Testing Milk and its
Products" by Professor E. H.
harrington and F. w. Woll of the
state university has just been
published. The book has been
carefully revised by the authors,
and much new and valuable materi-
al has been added, including dis
cussions of recent methods of de-
termining the water content of
butter; Prof. Harris new casein
test; directions for analysis of ice
cream; and calculations of milk and
cream overrun, and of dividends at
creameries where milk and cream
are received. This book has been
the standard text and reference book
on the Babcock test since its first
publication ten years ago, and is
used as text book in practically
all dairy schools in English speak
ing countries. The new edition
makes a handsome octave volume
of nearly three hundred pages, and
is fully illustrated.
MANY FEEDS LICENSED.
Under the amended state feeding

Last year only So manufacturers Ii
censed their feeds for sale. The
number of different brands register
ed for license this year is over four
times as large as last year, owing
to a recent opinion given by the
State Attorney General that the
law provides for an annual fee of

FLEAS AND THE PLAGUE.
The Part the Former Play in Spread
of the Latter.

1t has long been known that rats
are an important cause of the spread
of plague, but more recent researches
seem to indicate that fleas serve as an
intermediate link in conveying the
disease from rats to men. According
to the observations and conclusions
Of Simond, infection of plague from
one human being to another takes
place, but in an insignificant number
of cases compared with those where
fleas carry the infection from rat to
man. The recent experiments of the
plague commission at Bombay have
established the fact that fieas convey
the plague from infected to healthy
rats, and it has also been shown that
the species of flea concerned is al
ways found in plague-infected houses.
Medical science therefore declares
war upon fieas as upon mosquitoes,
and the mystery of epidemics is pro-
portionally cleared up. Yet much re-
mains to be learned.

Mystery of Lake -chad.

That strange African lake, Lake
Tchad, has been the subject of re-
newed attention within the past two
years, and the fact that in a period of
20 years it alternately increases and
decreases in size and depth seems to
have been we'll established. Four or
five years after the beginning of the
period the level of the lake becomes
very low, and then rises again to the
former height. In 1906 the lake was
very low. According to native
records it was nearly dried up be-
tween 1928 and 1888. Twenty years
later the level of the water was very
high.
