Milwaukee Not Developed.

The 1911 fruit crop in Wisconsin,
especially the apple crop. was the
largest since 1896, according to Fred
eric Cranefield. in his report as secre-
tary of the Wisconsin State Horticul-
tural society. He estimated the crop
at 100000 barrels. one-half of which
was from farm orchards, which aver
aged less than fifty cents per bushel

he said, even though fruit has been
grown there for rs years. Milwaukee
buyers send to New York and Michi-

pIan Marketlna Probe Board.

In attacking scientifically the prob
lem of the better distribution Of farm
products, the state board of public af-
fairs is considering the establishment
of a bureau of investigation. in coop
Grafton with the agricultural college OF
the University of Wisconsin, whose
function would be to study methods of
marketing in Wisconsin with a view
to suggesting and aiding in the intro
duction of improved methods. 1t would
be okg of the duties of the bureau to
investigate the systems of co-opera-
tive marketing, municipal markets.
and public warehouses in use in other
states and countries and be prepared
to advise for or against the establish
ment of similar agencies in Wiscon-
sin. The wastefulness of the present
system of marketing has long been
recognized, but until recently there
has been no result other than an out.
cry against the middlemen.

That the state department of
weights and measures is well equipped
to do effective work is pointed out in
the report made to Governor Mccoy
ern by State Dairy and Food Commits

With the outfit now on hand" said
Mr.. Emery. the department is pre-
pared TO do excellent work in the test
ing and sealing of scales. weights and
measures. So far as relates to the in
specting, testing and sealing or con
demning of weights and measures. the
greatest difficulty confronting US is
that of testing the heavy scales, and
10 perform the duties prescribed by
the legislature under the amended law
inevitably involves considerable ex-
pense. The sealer is obliged to pay
heavy excess baggage on 1000 pounds
of weights, and In addition he must
pay another bill for drayage. Owing
to the great obstacles in the way Of
testing wagon scales during the win
ter time. the commencing Of this line
Of work is likely t. be delayed until
the opening OF spring.
Upon the designation by the ex-
officio state superintendent OF weights
and measures OF five dairy and food
inspectors to act ex-officio as state
sealers of weights and measures. they
were called to this Office and about
two weeks of instruction were given
them by the chief inspector of weights
and measures TO qualify them for do
ing accurate and effective work. The
instruction was followed by rigid
tests and later. visits were made to
several scale factories and repair
shops under the direction of the chief
inspector of weights and measures.
where still further instruction was Civ
en- and more familiarity with the prac-
teal work was acquired. Advantage
was also taken to inspect the method
of sealing practiced by the deputy
sealers in the Milwaukee department
of weights and measures.
