Demand Nursery Stock on Hardy
Roots

From the Extension Service Vt
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture
| to all newspapers in the state.
The past winter has taught many
lessons to the. WISCONSIN - fruit,
grower. Since the beginning OF
fruit growing in this STATE the para
mount question relative to any .Narie-
ty has been, rs it hardy?", and mp
on the answer to this question has
depended whether or not the Narle-
ty has been. extensively planted in
this state. Although this question has
been the one of prime Importance
for the past forty years, the degree
of advancement in securing hardy
trees has been markedly slow. Hardy
varieties have been produced by the
non-hardy roots, they fail to live up
to their reputation.
That the fruit grower and nursery
men must give more attention to the
kind of stock upon which he buds
or CRAFTS his variety was clearly in
dicated by the amount of winter
root killing which resulted last year
In Door county hundreds Of trees OF
known hardy. varieties. were killed
because the root system upon which
they were growing was not hardy
and therefore was killed by unfavor-
able climatic conditions, while the
same varieties under identical condi--
tions and on hardy roots were unin-
iured. The greatest loss to- the grow
er by winter root killing is not mere
ly the loss of, hiss tree, but the loss
of time which it has taken to grow
the tree If the tree is but one year
planted, then the loss is comparative
lv small. but if it has been planted
five or ten years, it is evident that
the loss is very great,
To prevent this loss more atten-
tion is necessary to the kinds OF
roots upon which the tree is propa-
gated. 1t becomes necessary there
| fore that the fruit grower demand oil
the nurserymen that he graft his
plants upon roots which are known
| to be hardy, and while the cost ~
the fruit grower Of a tree so graft
ed will be somewhat greater in the
| long run the diminished loss VIII
more than repay him for the addi'
tional cost. Whether or not the nul'
| seryman propagates his stock in this
| way will depend entirely upon the
fruit grower, for until the fruit grow
er demands stock so propagated the
nurseryman will continue to use mis-
| cellaneous Seeding roots or Which
nothing is known as to their par
entage or hardness. Prof. j. G'
Moore. -

report yields of .125 to 225 bushels,
with probably an average of $50 TO

OPERATORS FAIL TO
AGREE WITH MINERS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 1.-The
interstate joint wage conference OF
the united miners and bitnminous coal
operators, called for the purpose OF
making new agreement for the EN-.
ployment OF 250,000 miners, adjourned
today without reaching a decision.
Another attempt will be made, how
ever, to re-establish the joint inter
state movement. representatives of
both the miners and operators agreed
to hold later meeting for discussion
of the wage problem, the second con-
ference to be called by officers of the
m2ers organization and officers of
the operators. This meeting will be
held sometime prior to March 81,
when all of the present important con-
tracts between operators and miners
expire.
In case the proposed second con-
ference does not agree on wa6e
schedule, IL is probable there will be
a general suspension of work in the
0ituminus fields by the miners. The
mine workers convention was expect
ed TO decide on the policy to be pur-
sued at this afternoons session.
The miners are demanding a seven
hour day, an increase of ten cents a
ton for mining and an advance of 20
per cent for day work. A nine-hour
day and decreased wages Is asked by
the operators.

QUESTION OF REVISION OF
CHARTER LIKELY TO Be
SUBMITTED APRIL FIRST
This Is Date Set By Council
Committee but Change
May Be Necessary
SPECIAL ELECTION o. X.
Corporation Counsel Now Salts
fed That Wait Until Novem-
Der Polling Isn't Necessary

Aid. McCarty's resolution providing
for special election, April ], to pass
on the question OF charter revision
and elect a charter commission at the
same time was unanimously indorsed
by the council committee on city and
charter legislation, Thursday morning
The resolution will be reported out
favorably next Tuesday night II, in the
meantime, Corporation Counsel Law
son clears up several legal questions
that have arisen in connection with
the matter. The committee will meet
again Monday morning at IL o'clock
to complete the preliminary work of
putting the charter revision machin-
cry In motion.
One big objection and probably the
most serious one, TO a special elec-
ton, was swept aside by Mr.. Lawson,
Thursday, when he announced that he
was satisfied that there was no Legal
objection TO a special election. His
opinion, as first expressed, was that
the question of charter revision could
not be submitted until the regular
municipal election next fall.
II believe" said Mr.. Lawson
Thursday, that II special election is
held for such az purpose on April
the courts would construe the home
rule act to make that election valid
If any question were raised about it.
But the questions that now arise
have to do with a primary for the
nomination of charter commissioners,
and with the necessary expense, for
the funds must be provided in advance
by the council. II was not until after
the committee had voted fayorably
on the McCarty resolution, fixed Mar.
80 as the date for the registration OF
voters and fixed the compensation OF
the commissioners at s. per day for
not to exceed 80 days that these other
matters suggested themselves.
Aid. Gilman wanted to know how
the commissioners were TO be NOM
mated, and Mr.. Lawson's off-hand
opinion was that primary was nece--
sary. While the commissioners were
to be elected on nonpartisan ballot,
each party could nominate set OF
commissioners at the primary, he
thought. That would make an en-
rollment necessary, and the regular

information Is available as to just
what will happen. The government
officials concerned with the prosecu-

was postponed once because of a

the poor freight service given by the

ment. The paper company alleges
that there is plenty of coal in the
Grand Trunk yards, at Durand, but
the railroad will not move II. for
mer employe OF this railroad alleges
in q letter to the commission that the
trouble is caused by the efforts of the
Grand Trunk to cripple the train
