No one can hold II against Griffith
for being heart and soul in his work.
In fact If he was otherwise he would
be subjected to criticism. for baseball
fans do not care very much for a
manager who isn't out there day after

There is no disputng the fact that
Grifs enthusiasm. IL such it can be
called, has had much to do with the
success of the Washington team since
he took hold of them. as the Nation

narrow strips between two pieces of
upland; 60 pot-holes, surrounded by

ton projects, are described, showing
the nature Of the area, the details OF
the drainage systems, and the specific
results of drainage. The formation
of drainage district secures the CO.
operation of several land owners, even
though some may be unwilling.
The farmer should study the condi-
lions causing poor drainage on his
land, and the remedy for the same.
After stalking out the system of drains
according to his best judgment, he
should get a surveyor to test the feas-
Utility of the doubtful drains with an
accurate instrument, aking such

On some areas the fall is so great that
such tests are unnecessary. A farm
drainage system may be installed by
laborers under the direction of the
farmer or by contractors who make
a business of such work.

Early closing race entries exceeded
those of nearly every other state fair
in the middle west, and already en-
tries in the late closing classes assure
that there will be more fast horses
here this year than ever before. Most
OF the space in the educational and
Horticultural buildings is allotted,
more schools having arranged to be
represented at the fair and many horti-
, cultural and floral societies which
hitherto have given little attention to
the exhibition having signified an in
tention to make displays. Milwaukee
florists have united in asking for rec
ognition at the exhibition this year
and will occupy large space.
Entries in the horse and cattle de-
partments must be made by Saturday,
August 49, in the sheep and swine de-
partments by Thursday, September 4,
and in all other departments by Satur-
day, September 6.
Much is being done already to put

ceiving care. Remodeling Of buildings

The following is a digest of Wisconsin
Bulletin, No. 229, just off the press
An excess of water during certain
periods Of the year is damaging over
100000 acres of Wisconsin lands,
of which one-third consists of muck
and peat marshes, and two-thlrds
mostly of wet clays. Excessive wa
ter in these soils is detrimental be-
cause: CD Lands are too soft to Gull
tivate; (2) cultivation is delayed in
the spring; CO wet soils are cold;
ca air is kept out of the ground and
decomposition of vegetable matter is
checked, and 60 standing water pre-
vents healthy root development.
Drainage is the removal of water by
the force of gravity. The force of ca
pillarity in soil forms limit up to
which drainage is necessary and be-
yond which it is impossible.
The cause of the excess of water is
either the entrance of too much water
or the removal of too little. Areas
can be drained either by carrying the
damaging water around them, or by
Fastening it's passage through them.
The kinds of drains in common use
are Cd the surface-run, for surface
water; (2) drain-tile, for underdrain-
age; 90 the outlet ditch, to deepen
and straighten the beds of sluggish
creeks or small rivers; (4) the make
shift outlet, which is about the only
place where the capstan ditch should
be tolerated; 60 the vertical drain

Insect Threatens Wisconsin.

Wisconsin is threatened with an IN
vasion of the destructive brown tail
moth, an insect known only too we'll
in New England, and which is now re-
ported to have advanced as far west
ward as Saginaw, Mich.
Director Ward of the public museum
said that the presence of the insect in
Michigan means that it will be only a.
matter of a short time when Wiscon-
sin will suffer from the ravages of the
moth.
Yhis moth is an injurious enemy OF
orchard forest and shade trees and of
ornamental shrubbery. II the state Of
Massachusetts, it's increase is being
fought under a large appropriation de-
voted to its suppression.
In 1905 congress appropriated a sum
of money to be expended under the SUI
pervision of the bureau of entomology
to prevent the spread of the brown
tail moth.
The insect is carried about the coun-
try on winds, steamships, railroad
trains, clothes and anything else to
which it's eggs can fasten.
Probably the best way to eradicate
the pest is to secure the cooperation
of all property owners in the infected
district. This must be done primari-
Iy by a campaign of education into
the history and habits of the moth it
self Then communities must take the
matter up through town improvement
societies and like organizations, and,
best of all, some state laws compar-
able to the one now operating in Mas
sachusetts must be enacted and en-
forced in al states suffering from or
threatened with an invasion Of the
brown tail moth.
The eggs are small and globular and
are laid in masses on the underside or
leaves during the latter part of July.
Egg masses of the moth are brown in
color and covered with hair, each con-
tanning about 300 eggs.
Full grown moths are pure white,
with the end of the abdomen brownish.

female, tuft of brown hairs from

was derived.
In New England the moths fly from
July to 20, the time varying with the
condition of the season. 1t is night

buds begin to appear on fruit, the
young one-fourth grown caterpillars
issue from the over wintering nests

spread are the birds, but this is not eff
fectual and human prevention is all
that can keep the spread within
bounds.

Silver King-a Corn for Northern

ly issued by the Iowa State College of
Agriculture Experiments carried on
by the Iowa station have demonstrate
ed that Silver King is the corn best
suited for the northern section of
that state.
BY thus recognizing the value of
Silver King corn, Iowa paid tribute
to the work of Prof. r. A. Moore, who
introduced Silver King into Wisconsin
in 1904 Professor Moore discovered
the corn in Iowa while judging at Al
gona, and arranged for a shipment of
thirty bushels to Madison for founda-
ton stock for breeding purposes. 1t
was then carried through an ear-to-
row process of breeding, and was dis
seminated widely through the agency
of the Experiment association, the
members of which became the grow
ers of select seed. 1t was then grown
