Wisconsin banks are prosperous and
the banking business of the state in
most excellent condition, according to
the abstract made by Commissioner
of Banking M. G. Bergh of the reports
of the 493 institutions, all the state
banks. in response to call for a
statement of condition at the close of
business March 20. The last previous
report called for was of January 81,
1910, and in the intervening time,
practically two months, there were
ten banks added to the list of those
doing business in the state, and that
the net increase of resources is
$4,2O2, 1876.
The largest increase of resources is
in the item of loans and discounts,
being $4,453, 365.51, with investments
in bonds the next largest, being
S549,339.13.
In the liabilities schedule appears
a large increase, $1,350,125.82, in time

to check grown by nearly 100000,

Game Warden Department.

Most excellent is the showing made
by the game warden's department for
the year 1909 in the report submitted
by Game Warden George w Ricke-
man to Governor Davidson. 1t ap-
pears that on January 1, 1910, the
cash on hand in the game warden

with $94,95O.93 a year ago, an increase
of 31,233.4O.
The report shows that during the
year there were 58S arrests for viola
ton of the game laws and 542 seizures
of fish, game or paraphernalia. The
amounts of fines collected was $9,6O2,
and the court costs arising out of
prosecutions was $2,658.7S.
Casualties resulting to sportsmen
or others in connection with the pur-
suit Of fish or game in Wisconsin
during the year we're sixty-nine, of
which thirty three were fatal.
The Importance of the fish industry
in the Badger state is revealed in the
total value of fish caught by licensed
fishermen, which is 1855, 79174 for
25,685,966 pounds of all kinds. These
fish were taken from waters as fol-
lows: Lakes Michigan, Superior and

Frosts Ruin Fruit Crop.


All prospects for a large fruit crop
next fall have been shattered by the
cold weather and heavy frosts of the
last few days, according to a state
ment made by Prof. J. G. Moore of
the horticultural department of the
university
The change in temperature extend
ed practically all over the state and
has ruined the orchards of the south
ern counties as well as those of the
north. Sturgeon Bay and surrounding
counties on the peninsula have es-
capped with only slight damage to fruit
trees.
An inspection of the university
orchards by Prof. Moore showed that
approximately IS or SO per cent. of the
blossoms were killed Great damage
was done to the early varieties Of
plum and apple trees, and these will
yield practically nothing as result
The cherry trees were the only fruit
trees on the university farm which
were not badly damaged by the heavy
frosts.

STATUTE REVISION
NOW IN PROGRESS
AnnotatiOnS May Be Published
Separately to Reduce Bulk.
BE READY FOR LEGISLATURE
Arthur F. Belitz With Force of Girls
at Work Under Supervision of
Supreme Court-Wouid Make
Revision After Each Session.

Madison.-The work of revising the
statutes of the state in accordance
with the law enacted by the last legis-
lature for that purpose has begun I'M
der the direction of L. J. Nash of
Manitowoc, reviser, and Arthur F.
Belitz of Milwaukee, assistant reviSer.
The work is now being carried on in
room directly over the state law Ii
brary and chambers of the members
of the supreme court in the north
wing of the capitol. At present Mr..
Nash is enjoying trip through the
south, and the work is being directed
by Mr. Belitz.
Twelve girls are at work clipping
and pasting the old statutes, making
what is known as a loose leaf set of
statutes. When Mr.. Nash returns the
real work will begin. 1t is proposed
to eliminate the annotatiOnS from the
statutes proper and put them in
separate volume. This, it is expect
ed. will reduce the size of the statutes
themselves to such bulk as to permit
of their publication in a single volume,
instead of in three volumes as at pres
ent. 1t is expected that the first re-
vision will be ready for submission to
the legislature for approval at its
next regular session.
1t is proposed to make revision of
the statutes after each session of the
legislature.
The office of reviser is continuous
and carries salary of $4,000. The
reviser is authorized to employ such
additional help as he may need. The
law carries an appropriation of $4,000
a year for the work, including sal
aries. Assistant Reviser Belitz re-
ceives a salary of $4,000. The girls
get $35 a month. The members of
the Supreme Court appoint the reyiser
and the work is really carried on I'M
der their supervision.
The last revision of the statutes was
In 1898, twelve years ago.

Davidson, Fisherman.

Governor Davidson claims to be the
champion trout fisher of Wisconsin.
He has returned from a few days
fishing near Coloma, Waushara county,
and says that his first day out he
landed forty fine specimens, forty-fve
being the limit allowed by law. He
also says he caught the largest trout
in his party, his big one weighing a
mound and a half. Next day the other
members of the party hesitated to go
out because of a pouring cold rain.
The governor braved the elements for
three hours, but with Indifferent luck.

Common Insect Pests Described.


The common insect pests of Wis
consin fruits are illustrated and de-
scribed, and methods of control out
lined, in a new bulletin, No. 100, by
Prof. ]. G. Moore, just issued by the
Agricultural Experiment Station OF
the University of Wisconsin. The
author states that the codling moth
and the apple curculio destroy or in
lure three-fourths or $250,000 worth of
the apple crop in Wisconsin each year.
The combined damage from all insect
pests of Wisconsin amounts annually
to at least $1,000,000
Over 25 of the more common insect
pests of the apple, plum, cherry and
small fruits are illustrated and de-
scribed These insects are included in
two groups: those that feed by means
of chewing mouth parts, which must
be controlled by poisonous spray mix
lures; and those that take food
through sucking mouth parts, which
must be sprayed with mixtures which
kill by contact
Insecticides and spraying apparatus
are described in the bulletin, together
with practical instructions on the ap-
plication of sprays in both large and
small orchards Every grower will
find this bulletin a handy manual in
condensed form, and the illustrations
will greatly aid in identifying common
insect pc is.

Although Ursinus has been touted as
having the best team in the history or
the college, scarcely any one thought
they would be able 10 get away with
the Quakers, despite the fact that the
game had been changed so radically.
Little difference could be distinguished
in the game from the grand stand under
the new rules. The end runs, kicks, and
forward passes looked about the same
and the only real difference noticed were
the absence Of the flying tackle and the
helping of a man with the ball, Besides
the regular play, however, the dividing
up of the game into periods seemed to
have a retroactive effect upon the game.
Probably because the four periods We're
shortened. the game seemed laclins in
snap. but that the game was not as fast
and snappy as under the old rules was
clearly evident.
To say that the Quakers were de-
feated solely on account of the new rules,
however. would be a sad mistake. The
team which lined up against Ursinus was
far from being anywhere near the stan
dard of the Red and Blue teams of the
past. Playing under the same rules as
