Millions of Fish Planted In Lake.

Superintendent James NeV1n OF the
Wisconsin state fish commission said
that more than 190,700,000 fish fry OF
the food and game varieties had beer
distributed by the commissioners OF
fisheries from the eight hatcheries in
the state during the five months OF
1913 just past. with favorable wealth.
er conditions" Superintendent Nevin
said, the commission expects to sur
pass last years record distribution,
when 212,000,000 fry were planted in
the lakes and streams of the state and
it's outlying waters.
THE distribution of pike this year
far exceeded that of any of the other
varieties, nearly 150, 100000 Of this spe-
cies having been planted in suitable
waters in all parts of the state. OF
brook trout, by many considered to be
the most desirable of game fish; $500,
900 were sent to sportsmen for planting
in their favorite streams, together
with 100000 rainbow trout. There
still remain about 100000 of the lat.
ter species for distribution in the
northern counties of the state at the
Bayfield, hatchery.
More attention was paid this year
than ever before to the outlying wa
tiers of the state, and more than 25,000,-
900 lake trout and 100000 whitef1sh
were Matched at the Sheboygan and
Sturgeon Bay hatcheries and planted
in the waters of Lake Michigan, Lake
Superior and Green bay.
Though the commission has been
making every effort in late years to
propagate muskellunge, little success
has been met Weather conditions
have been extremely unfavorable, and
despite the fact that the head of one
of the New York state muskellunge
hatcheries, where millions are Matched
every year, was engaged to come to
Wisconsin this spring, especially to
hatch 'muskies,' only about 100000 of
the big fellows were planted in the
northern lakes. The commission will
try harder than ever to equal New
Yorks record next year"

gs~ril From Insect Pests.

Something must be done to save
Wisconsin from insect pests, says Prof.
=. C. Sanders, state entomologist, and
particularly just now check the devas-
eafion 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
7srIn range from 80 to 80 per cent.
The white grub, he said, is the
-ggoYm that develops into the June
beetle, but it takes three years to ar
rive at the beetle stage and during that
4TTne it lives on the roots of vegetation.
IL is the three-year-olds, he said, that
saow are working havoc with the corn
crop
Proper rotation of crops and fall
blowing, Professor Sanders says, are
she most effective methods of combat
5ns the grub They thrive in the roots
e1Y grasses in the meadows and when
these are plowed in the spring and
the ground is planted TO corn. or other
cereals for that matter, they are in
prime condition when the crop begins
~ 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
sIQon 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 it must awake soon or the
awakening will be a sad one later, he
says. A 10 per cent. loss on the six
principal crops. corn, wheat oats, bar
sey. rye and hay, would amount in Wis
sconsin in a single year to $13,000,000.

Children. Day at stats FAIR.

Two innovations which are expected
to make the state fair more popular
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 exhibit free o.
charge. Superintendent Pearse of the
Milwaukee schools was asked to de
clare Friday, September IL, holiday
that children might see the fair.
The board voted to reduce the pric,
of admission to 25 cents after five
o'clock afternoons The former charge
of so cents will hold until five o'clock
In adopting the innovation members
predicted an increase in the attend
ance and educational value of the fair
Laborers and men on a small salary
it 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 $1,000 was
made for advertising expenditures.
Thomas Sake, recently appointed tc
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
cilit1es 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.
Kletzsch, Mrs Ada HOWE and George
F. Cummings was appointed to work
with the Anti-Tuberculosis society tc
arrange for an exhibit.
Another interesting feature of the
fair this year will be set Of model
housekeeping rooms, arranged if pos.
sible under the grandstaud. The mat.
ter of having a baby contest has beer
suggested, but considerable opposition
against it has developed and it is
probable that this feature will not be
included in the list of attractions.

Court Decides Against Electrical
Company.

Judges w. H. Adkins, Albert Constable
and Philemon B. Hopper. in the Circuit
Court for Cecil County. in Equity, have
handed down an opinion in the case of
the Rumsey Electrical Manufacturing
Company VS. Clarence L. Cole. ct AL, in
which proceedings it was sought TO have
deed from Mr.. Cole TO his wife in 1908.
conveying certain property near Perry
vile, set aside as fraudulent. The opin.
ion recites that there was no evidence to
show that Mr.. Cole had not sold the pro-
perty to his wife in 1905, for sufficient
consideration. and that the deed in 1908
was executed in performance of that con-
tract. The deed is therefore held to be
valid and the bill of complaint ordered
dismissed. The counsel in the case were
Frederick T. Haines. Esq, and Mr.. Rum
sey. Of Philadelphia, for the Company
