BADGER RENOWN
IN AGR|CUL TURE
PROFESSOR r. A. MOORE ENTHu-
sIAsTIc in PROMOTION OF
ASTRONOMICAL AFFAIRS.
LARGE INTEREST JUST NOW IN
CEREAL EXHIBIT AT
STATE FAIR.
Madison. Aug. 4.

Madison, Aug. 4.
Prospects for one of the best cereal
exhibits at the state fair are the most
encouraging, asserts Professor r. A.
Moore, lecturer in the agronony depart
ment of the university school of agri-
culture. Mr.. Moore has returned after
spending a week with leading agricul-
turiSts in the northern part of the
state in the interest of the Wisconsin
experiment association. He declares
that northern counties are not aware
of the drought prevalent in the south
ern and southwestern part of the
state, and that corn, barley and oats
are thriving well enough to make the
most pessimistic farmer smile
Mr.. Moore is now vitality interested
in the work of the experiment asso-
citation of which he is manager. Since
its organization in 1901, the associa-
ton has been influential in promoting
county exhibits Of corn, barley, oats
and vegetables at state fairs, from
which the prize winners were urged to
send their products to the annual
state fair in Milwaukee. The problem
is now down to systematic basis and
the general operation of the county
societies with the state organization
has been brought about, insuring sue
cessful grain exhibits at all county
fairs of any Importance and ultimately
banner display at the state fair.
Prizes for cereal exhibits at the state
fair this year aggregate approximately
81, 500 The experiment association
will urge all successful exhibitors at
county fairs to display at Milwaukee.
Each year Wisconsin thus gains a
prominent place and much agricultur-
al renown at the international corn
and grain exhibit which will be held
in 1909, I'm the month of December, at
Omaha, Nebraska. 1t is the purpose
of the organization to represent Wis
cGnsim with a wealth of cereal prod
ucts, quality mainly considered, which
will place the badger state in a more
enviable position with the wheat and
corn states further west than it has
held heretofore, Wisconsin has ranked
we'll in years past at the international
grain shows carrying off first prizes
in quality of old genus of cereals ana
medals for producing new species of
cereals. 1t must be understood that
climatic conditions are considered by
the judges in selecting prize winning
cnn 0ir1an IN, h.
h1bit, so that rival states gain no adj
vantage through the fortune or mis-
fortune of latitude.

New York, Aug. AT a recent

from Washington that the senate and

clusion on the tariff bill started a
