THIRTEEN YEAR RECORD.

Madison. - Wisconsn's hunting
season has caused the death of TWEEN
ty-one persons and the injury Of
twenty-five others. Two of these
are women, and several children are
listed
According to the state game war
den at Madison more than IS 900 IL
censes had been issued to hunters in
the state. Deer were killed right and
left in the northern counties where
not protected by law and shipping
transfer stations along the railroad
were congested by the shipments of
deer carcasses. The game warden
estimated that there have been 49,
900 hunters in the woods in search
Of big game.
The lists of deaths and injured
among hunters proves that careless
ness is the greatest cause of the ac-
cidents. Most of the hunters were
either the victims of their own guns
or were shot by companions. Only
in a few cases has it been reported
that hunter was shot by another in
mistake for a deer, or that he was
the victim of a stray bullet
In many cases full details of the
accidents are unavailable, but in
others the reports say that the hunt
ers were killed or injured while polk
ing at brush pile, drawing the gun
through fence, over the ground or
putting it In a buggy. Most Of the
Injuries reported are where hunters
are shot in the leg by their own guns
Though all of the accidents were
reported during the open season for
deer. not all of them include deer
hunters Rabbit and other small
game hunters are included and form
the greater number of the killed and
wounded. Absence of details in
many of the cases reported make it
impossible to note which are deer
hunting or other accidents.
The number of deer killed in Wis
consin during the present season will
equal if not exceed the 1912 figures,
Notwithstanding the fact that, be-
cause there was little snow, condi-
tions were not as favorable to the
hunters as usual. Many bears were
also killed. This is unusual at this
time of the year as Bruin ordinarily
goes into his winter sleep before the
deer season opens. Wolves, too, have
been quite plentiful and a number
have been killed in the open wood by
the deer hunters who were not look
ing for them.

Farmers can obtaIn Easx crsolts.

Farmers Can Obtain Easy Crsoits.
From the point Of view of the
Farmers and settlers in Wiscon-
sin who need more ready money or
more appropriate terms, the land
mortgage association act passed by the
last legislature is one of the most inn
portant bits of legislation written into
tine statute books, say members of the
state board of LISlic affairs.
While congress and he legislatures
Of other states were debating the
problem of providing appropriate cred
it facilities for the farmer and set
tier and stopped there, Wisconsin act
ually passed the necessary law.
Generally speaking, the purpose OF
this law is TO make land in Wisconsin
a more fluid security. This the act
proposes to accomplish by bond is
sues, the bonds to be secured by first
mortgage on real estate. These bonds
will be negotiable and can be passed
from hand to had as readily as actual
money.
The association TO be formed under
this act will be similar to the joint
stock mortgage banks of Germany, Of
which there were p, with outstand-
ing loans aggregating two and one
quarter billion dollars in 1911.
To operate under the Wisconsin act
Is or more persons must incorporate
with a capital stock of not less than
$4,000. The funds of the association
are loaned on first mortgage securi-
ties, and the association may deposit
the securities with the state treasurer
and then issue negotiable bonds equal
in amount TO the securities depos-
tied.
The act makes every provision for
safeguarding the purchasers of these
bonds. The associations formed un-
der the act and their operations are
completely under the control and SUI
peryision of the state commissioner
of banking. They are to be examined
by him periodically, and generally are
subject to as close or even closer SUI
pervision and scrutiny than are state
banks. The law provides that at no
time shall the amount of bonds issued
deposit with the state treasurer.
Loans are granted only after care
fnl investigation of a detailed appli-
cation and after inspection of the
premises offered as security. No loan
shall exceed in amount 65 per cent. of
the value of the land if improved, or
40 per cent. if unimproyed, and no
loan may be granted unless it is for
such purpose as will benefit the Dor
rover
An elaborate system of manage
ment, including checks and vertical
tions. is required by the act.
The state board of public affairs is
working with the commissioner of
banking on a constitution and bylaws
for the business regulation of these
associations.

Governor McGovern designated De-
cember Z, 1918, as tuberculosis Sun
day Following is the text of Mr.. Nc
Governs public announcement:
The Anti-Tuberculosis association
of Wisconsin appeals to our people to

white plague. Smallpox, diphtheria
and yellow fever have been all but
completely driven from the land, and
it is believed that by effort tuberculo-
sis also may be banished
Each one of us can help to pre-
vent the spread of this disease. KnOwl-
edge of existing facts cannot fail to
convince any intelligent person of the
need for immediate and vigorous
action.

mating knowledge regarding the ma
ture, prevention and cure of tubercu-
lOsis, l. Francis e. McGovern, gov
ern0r of the state of Wisconsin, here
by designate and appoint the seventh

sis Sunday. and l earnestly recon-
mend that provision be made in every

to be employed for the relief Of those
under its blight. and specially, the
precautions best calculated to pre-
vent its spread.

Potato Disease Discussed.

Potato disease was the topic of the
address delivered at the annual CON
vention of the Wisconsin Potato
Growers association, at Rhinelander,
the speakers being f. p Miller, Chi
cage; Prof. l.. r. Jones, University OF
Wisconsin, and w. A. Orion of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Mr.. Orton's general topic was
Seed Inspection and Certification, :"
and in it he dealt with the Importance
of securing seed which is pure and
free from disease influences.
Potato Diseases in Relation to Seed
Standards" was the topic assigned to
Professor Jones, and he told of the
need of pure strains, saying that all
the important potato diseases are des-
simated through the seed tubers.
Late blight. black leg. wilt. com
mon scab. powdery scab scurf and
black wart are the diseases against
which the buyer of seed should be
most careful. he said. Growers and
dealers In seed stock must learn to
recognize these diseases. A system of
state inspection and certification, in
addition to these others, would put
Wisconsin at the head of the list in
the production of high grade seed po-
tatoes."
Z. P. Miller declared that infected
importations endanger the potato crop
and said that an additional protection
is required by the general embargo
against the foreign potatoes.
Wisconsin is one of the most i'm
portant potato producing states in the
Union" he declared 1t is one in
which developments are fast opening
up new territory. Much of the land in
Wisconsin is not suitable for any other
purpose in so great a measure as it Is
for potato growing. Consequently Wis
consin potato growers should take a
strong interest in the condition of the
importations OF foreign seed potatoes.
With the example OF the Greeley
district of Colorado before us ii
seems that immediate and drastic
steps should be taken to prevent the
importation of potatoes from foreign
countries. all of which are likely to
carry more or less infection of dis
eases new TO this country The Greeley
district five years ago was one of the
most important shipping districts in
our country for its size. Today not
one-tifth Of the crop formerly produced
Is raised This condition is due to the
importation of seed potatoes from for
eign countries and the impregnation
Of the soil with the bacteria of potato
diseases.
