THE STATE FAIR RECORDS
Those of Secretary True Found i'm
Good Condition by
Experts.

There has been considerable fuss
about the records of the state fair
officials and some experts have been
working on the books. From the re-
port there were some things that
should not have been and which the
officers tried to correct. Baraboo peo-
pie will be pleased to know that the
records of John M. True, the secretary,
are in fine condition. The following is
taken from a Milwaukee paper
"I wish to make it clear" said
Charles s. Warren, who had personal
charge of this audit and of a similar
investigation of the Illinois state fair
board at the same time for Arthur
Young & Co., "That after the funds
collected in various ways at the fairs
reached Secretary True we had no
difficulty in establishing the fact of
their payment into the state treasury,
in accordance with law. The difficulty
was that there was no way of telling
before they reached Mr.. True whether
the amounts represented the totals
collected or due the state.

Potato Growing in Wisconsin
J. G..
oded dFrom The Wisconsin Farmer

maintain the fertility of their potato
land by regular manuring and rotation.
In Wisconsin, potato centers are
found both upon sand and clay soils.
The heaviest yields are probably as a
rule, taken from the clay loam or the
richer sandy loam soils. In some sec.
tians of the state, the sandy loam sur
face soil is underlaid with clay hard
pan, condition ideal to produce clean
smooth tubers. The better grades of
soil produce from $50 to 800 bushels
per acre. The lighter and more i'm
poverished grades of sand soil produce
from SO to $50 bushels per acre.
The average yearly yield per acre in
Wisconsin ranges between sixty and
ITO bushels. Fall prices usually range
between % and so cents per bushel.
The average cost per acre to produce
potatoes ranges between $40 and $25.
The conclusion is self-evident, that a
good many growers are producing the
crop on small profit.
In 1904 the Wisconsin Experiment
Station began field demonstrations in
Waupaca county to test whether the
early potato blight could be controlled
by applications of Bordeaux mixture.
Very good evidence goes to show that
this disease reduces the yield when
season conditions are favorable for its
development. 1t is also evident that
other disorders of the potato vines are
confused with this disease. There are
practical problems involved in the
study of potato diseases and pests, and
undoubtedly there are advanced pre-
ventive methods, which have practi-
cal application especially upon the
better types of potato soils.
What are the opportunities in Wis
consin in the production of improved
seed potatoes? This state is forging to
the front in the production of pure
bred seed. Probably there is no section
of the country better adapted to grow
ing early varieties of potatoes than
northern Wisconsin. An important
feature of the potato investigation
should be the testing of varieties for
this section adapted to the seed trade.
Potatoes have been raised so long on
type, appearance and yield that the
edible qualities of the tuber have been
neglected. The blight resistance of
vines, yields, edible qualities of tuber;
all these are a chain of factors which
must be considered in selecting the
most desirable commercial potato.

over the world attended the convention
and five thousand men in bible class

FOUR TRACK CUT
A POSSIBILITY
TWO ROADS rlAY OPEN TUNNEL
AND LOWER GRADE AT TUNNEL
CITY, USING SAME ROUTE.

According to the Portage Daily
Democrat e. and N. w. engineers pro-
pose that the Milwaukee roads tun-
mel be opened out, the grade lowered
and both companies use that route
through Tunnel City. If this is done
Tunnel City may lose its right to the
name, at least all but its legal and per-
haps traditionary right.
The plan under consideration, as
proposed by the Northwestern's civil
engineers, in the survey of their new
line, is to convert the railway tunnels
into an open cut &C ccomm odating four
railway tracks, two Of the G.. M. and
S. Paul and two of the new MiIwau-
kee-Sparta line of the G. and N. w.
The tunnel oil the Milwaukee road
now in use is 1910 feet long. Where
the Northwestern's survey crosses that
ridge about quarter of mile north,
a tunnel of 2700 feet would be neces-
STATED. In case joint agreement can
be reached the G. q N. w. line would
be shifted for few miles to parallel
the Milwaukee close by.
In any event, the Milwaukee road
over the ridge-whether in tunnel or
CUTS eventually to be lowered
twenty feet. This change of grade
probably will be made first on the
east bound track and will do away
with the Raymore-Tunnel City pusher
engine and crew. Then one engine
will haul the same tonnage up to
Tunnel City that it leaves the North
La Crosseyard with.
