A MONSTER DAIRY
SHOW At FAIR
Appeals to All Wisconsin Farm
erS to Aid.
LARGEST CELEBRATION HELD
Butter and Cheese Shown VIII Be
Sold at the End of the Fair ard
Proceeds RENTED to the
Senders.

Madison.-The determination of the
state board of agriculture to extend
its dairy show, covering the fields of
the breeder, milk producing dairy.
cheesemaker, buttermaker, city milk
distributor, milk condenser and evap-
orator, machinery manufacturer, pack
age manufacturer and the educational
side of the dairy industry as exempli-
fed by the University of Wisconsin,
has become a statewide subject
among farmers.
Laurens E. Scott of Stanley, one Of
the best known and most progressive
dairymen of northern Wisconsin, will
be in charge of the dairy exposition.
THE Wisconsin state fair will offer
the dairymen of Wisconsin the largest
dairy show held in the west this
year" he said, after an inspection Of
the dairy building at the state fair
grounds. 1T will be the largest and
best advertisement of Wisconsin,
dairy products and dairy possibilities
that has ever been brought together.
1t Will cover the field more thoroughly
from the educational point of view
than did the dairy show last year, be-
cause we have the cooperation of the
entire faculty and student force OF
the University of Wisconsin, and all
of its resources back of us.
Il am therefore appealing to every
.buttermaker. cheesemaker, dairy
farmer, milk distributor and business
man identified with the dairy industry
TO participate in the advantages to be
gained from the state fair dairy show.
IF every butter and cheesemaker in
the state would send a sample of his
product, we can easily make it the
biggest and best show of dairy prod
ucts ever seen in this country
I'VE are offering In cash premiums
S2.0G5 for dairy products, pro-rated
among all exhibits that score 80
points or above, so that each ex-
lhibit of merit will win enough to pay
the entry fee and express, and pos
slbly little bonus for the sender.
Each exhibit will be carefully weighed
and checked, and will be sold to the
highest bidder at the close of the fair
The returns will be RENTED to the
owner so that he will run no risk of
loss in sending a sample of his work
10 the fair; and best of all, he will
get his score and kindly criticism
from expert judges"

DivIninq Rod 200 Years Old.

Winslow w. Fifeld of Medford,
Mass, owns a metallic divining rod
brought from England more than two
hundred years ago by one of his an
cestors. The rod, says Mr. Fifield, has
been used successfully all over New
England and in the western mining
districts. 1t is attached to whalebone
handles - inches long and weighs two
ounces. The handles have inscriptions
on them which are almost obliterated
by age.

America was Isaac Greenleaf. who set

Wisconsin viii senew II. Forests.


Madison.-The state of Wisconsin
is greatly Interested in the general
subject of conservation, but the men
In charge Of the state government
have an idea that 1t is largely a cues
tion which states must work out for
themselves. No state IN the union
has made more progress with the
conservation of its forests. The state
board of fore" Try is only about FIVE
years old, but that time has done
a vast amount Of work.
The states forest reserves now
aggregate total of about 300, 0C0
aeres-an area surpassed only by
those of New York and Pennsylvania.
IL general way the state is follow
ing the plan of the United States gov
eminent In its western reclamation
scheme. At the outset all the state
public land was turned over to the
forestry board. This land was widely
scattered.
As rapidly as the scattered area can
be sold, new land is being purchased
in the lake and upper river territory.
The plan IS to have all the forest re-
serves in the lake and upper river
regions as far as possible Four
ator La Toilette, the United States
gave the state twenty thousand acres
of federal land to be added to the
state forest reserve.
Congress willingly voted to turn
this public land over to the state after
Senator La Toilette made it clear
that it was a matter of national rather
than state Importance. He explained
the policy of the state forester to
create forest reserves at the head
waters of the Wisconsin, Chippewa
and ST. Croix rivers, all of which are
important tributaries to the Missis-
sippi. His chief argument was that
the federal government would, by
turning over the land, be assisting in
lessening the annual flood damage of
the Mississippi, caused by the rapid
destruction of the forests along its
course.
OF course, the noteworthy feature
of both the state and the federal
grants is the permission given to the
state forester to sell such parts Of
the reserve as are considered insult
able for timber or more valuable for
agriculture, and to devote the proceeds
to the purchase of land more suitable
for forest purposes and for the gen
eral Improvement and protection of
the reserves. The work of disposing
of the lands granted by the state and
the federal government, and the re-
investment of the proceeds in lands
more suitable for forestry has gone
on rather slowly because of depres-
sion in land values that has existed
since 1907, but in good time the state
forester expects to have something
like two million acres in fairly COM
go ahead with the large plans the
state has for the future.
To begin with the forests that al
ready exist on the reserves will be
( carefully protected from fire. The
second step will be to reforest such
, parts of the newly acquired lands as
| are not well covered with forests
now. So far, no actual work has been
done toward renewing the forests.
( Within the next year or so nurseries
will be established in the reserve re-
gions, and a few years later the actual
work of planting trees by the millions
will begin.
