GREAT PICNIC BUSINESS
On the Grounds of the Iowa County
Asylum and Home.
SPEECH BY JUDGE J jerks
And an Address by A. 6. Roethe.
Three Thousand People Present.

There was big and pleasant picnic
day, July 81 Over three thousand
people came together from all parts of

Morris l.. Parkinson, superintendent,
and Mrs. Parkinson, matron, showed
the klndest attention to their many
guests, while not neglecting the
patients in their charge.
There was speaking AS advertised.
Superintendent Parkinson called the
meeting to order and spoke briefly.
Then Mr.. Rewey, acting IA chairman,
introduced Judge Aldro jerks for the
principal address
There was large audience present,
It was certainly n mans job TO get the
ear of the people and deliver an effec-
tive speech under the circumstances.
But Judge jerks was equal to the
occasion He had the presence, the
voice, and the message; and, as many
were eager to hear him he soon got in
touch with his audience and made him
self heard and understood. He es-
chewed partisan politics, but spoke
upon some of the fundamental princi:
pies upon which representative govern
ment is founded and his words and
thoughts had power for good.
Arthur G. Roethe followed with an
earnest and able address.
The chairman then called upon
Ernest G.. Fielder, always II good
speaker but Mr. Fielder had scarcely
gotten underway when rain began to
fall and brought the meeting to II close
The Mineral Point band was present
and furnished excellent masic.
An interesting ball game was won by

years the tendency has been to risk

one of the most troublesome insects
is the sweet potato flea beetle 1t is
about one-siXteenth of an inch long and
has a brassy brown coat.
These beetles chew out narrow
grooves or channels on either the upper
or under side of the leaves. These
channels are at first close to and paral-
lei with some of the principal veins If
the weather happens TO be dry and hot
the entire plant will probably die
TO destroy this insect an application
Of arsenical poison may be used. The
simplest plan is to dip the plants be-
fore setting i'll a mixture of one pound
/ per cent arsenate of lead to ten gal
ions Of water. If II per cent arsenate
Of lead Is used, one pound should be
added to six gallons of water. This
will not injure the plants in any way
Spraying will not answer the same pur-
pose as dipping, because it is impossi
bic to coat the leaves on the under
side.
Bran is very attractive to cutworms.
and they may be killed In the field by
the use Of poisoned bran. They take
this food in preference to the green
plants. To poison the bran mix one
pound of white arsenate and paris
green with fifty pounds Of bran and
five pounds powdered sugar, Add wa
ter enough to moisten thoroughly. A
spoonful of this to hill of plants will
attract every cutwOrm in the field in
two or three nights.-American Agri-

Butter and Cheese Makers Awards
Show improvements.


Fifty five buttermakers and cheese
makers have Just received hands pmely
Autographed awards showing the scores
given their butter and cheese at twelve
monthly scoring exhibits held ut the
College of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin. The average score for
all exhibits received this year was high
er than for the previous year i'll spite
of the facts that more farm SKINNED
cream has been used than ever before,
and that farm skinned cream ms rule
is far inferior to whole milk for butter
making All butter and cheese makers
are invited to send exhibits to the dany
department, with filled blanks showing
details of manufacture. Expert judges
score and criticize the cheese and make
individual suggestions for better meth
DDS. The exhibitor must prepay eX
press. The college sells the exhibit ON
the local market. deducting not more
than 20 cents per exhibit for expenses
returning the balance to the maker.
The Improvement over last year, shown
in the awards. is striking testimony
of the value of these criticisms to those
who wish to make better products to
sell at better prices.
