chIIdren.s par 4 state EaIr.

Two innovations which are expected
TO make the state fair more pop,s.r
as well as more educational. were
adopted by the state fair board in Nil.
waukee- A special day was set aside
for children to see the exhiB- free OF
charge Superintendent Pearse OF the
Milwaukee schools was asked to de-
clare Friday. September y, a holiday,
that children might see the fair.
The board voted to reduce the price
OF admission TO % cents after five
O'Clock afternoons. The former charge
OF 80 cents win hold until five o'clock.
In adopting the IL ovation members
predicted ~ increase in the attend
anee and educational value of the fair
Laborers and men on a small salary
II was pointed out, would gladly avail
themselves of an opportunity to see
the exhibition If the admission were
put within their reach.
On children's day every child under
fifteen years will be admitted without
charge if accompanied by parent
teacher or guardian. Special instruc
tors will be employed on this day.
An appropriation of 10,40O was
made for advertising expenditures.
Thomas SAKE, recently appointed te
the board, was made chairman of the
committee on amusements. The board
attended a dinner at the Republican
house as the guests of DR.. Alvin
Kletzsch. member of the board.
The floral display will be especially
fine this year. if plans that are now
being made go through. H. Hunkle
representing the florists. was present
to plead for more space and better ia
cilities for showing off the plants and
cut flowers. He estimated that at least
1000 square fete OF space would be
necessary to make an attractive dis
play. The State Horticultural society
also wants more space
A committee composed of Dr.
Kletzseh Mrs. Ada HOWE and George
F. Cummings was appointed to work
with the Anti-Tuberculosis society to
arrange for an exhibit.
Another interesting feature of the
fair this year will be a set of model
housekeeping rooms, arranged if pos.
sible under the grandstand. The mat
ter of having a baby contest has been
suggested, but considerable opposition
against it has developed and it is
probable that this feature win not be
included in the list of attractions.

peril From insect pests.

Something must be done to save
Wisconsin from insect pests, says Prof.
j. C. Sanders, state entomologist, and
particularly just now check the devas-
tation of the white grub, which
throughout the southern part of the
state is working ruin to the corn crop.
Professor Sanders said that in Grant
county the corn crop is practically
ruined and that all throughout the
southern section Of the state the loss
viii rsnge from 80 to 80 per cent.
The white grub. he said, is the
worm that develops into the June
beetle, but it takes three years to ar
rive at the beetle stage and during that
time it lives on the roots of vegetation.
1t is the three-year-olds, he said. that
now are working havoc with the corn
crop.
Proper rotation of crops and fall
blowing. Professor Sanders says, are
the most effective methods of combat
ing the grub. They thrive in the roots
of grasses in the meadows and when
these are plowed in the spring ana
the ground is planted to corn, or other
cereals for that matter, they are in
prime condition when the crop begins
to grow to go to it''-and they do it
with disastrous results.
The grasshoppers in the northern
section of the state are becoming a
curse and Professor Sanders said there
should be a systematic warfare made
upon them. AS they work above
ground they may be killed with sprays.
Wisconsin, he says. is behind other
states In making warfare on insect
pests, but ii must awake soon or the
awakening will be sad one later, he
says A 10 per cent loss on the six
principal crops. corn, wheat. oats, bar
ley. rye and hay, would amount in Wis
consin In single year to s13.000,O00.
