REPORT OF LIBRARIAN.
Edgerton, Wis, July Is, 1914.
To the Board of Directors of the Ed
gerton Public Library:
Ladies and Gentlemen: take pleas
ure in submitting herewith the eighth
annual report of the Edgerton Public
Library, for the year ending June 80,
1914.
The year has been one of progress
and growth, as is shown by the added
interest and increased circulation. A
substantial increase each year for the
past three, makes total increase of
1000 books for that period.
Additions to the library for the past
year include 298 books-183 by pur-
chase, 81 by binding and So were gifts.
There were 207 new borrowers regis
tered during the year-110 adults and
81 children.
$255 were expended for new books
and $48 80 for binding. The binding
bill was all for magazines. There is
quite an accumulation of books await
ing the necessary funds for reminding;
these were carried over because of the
expression of the Board that we cut
down in our binding and book bills in
order to be able to afford an assistant
for the winter.
Mrs. Lyons assistance during the
five busiest months of the winter made
it possible to do much more satisfac-
tory reference work with the schools
and clubs; as much individual attention
could be given to the patrons in look
ing up topics, preparing lists and Sc
| lecting material. When we did not
| find desired material here an effort was
made to obtain it from other sources.
Work with the schools forms large
part of the work during the school
year. The children come from school
! bringing their questions and wanting
books or articles that will help them in
their lessons; and often, something in
the days work will give them a new
idea which they wish to follow up.
Since the library furnishes them the in
formation for which they are looking,
the children come to rely upon the
library and accept it as an integral part
| of public education
| Every effort should be made to foster
| this idea and keep the interest in the
institution, for the fixing of the library

cur avoid planting on heavy or poorly
drained soils, and the application of too
much heterogeneous fertilizers.
4. When only a comparatively few
diseased plants occur it is advisable to
pull these out by the root and burn
them.
5. Care should be taken not to allow
the normal growth of the plants to be
checked in any way.
6. The disease may be transmitted
from one plant to another in topping

ton on diseased plants should not work
on healthy plants until the hands have

INTERESTING GOLF NOTES FROM THE
LOCAL CLUBS.

Indications are that Washington will
receive better treatment this year than
last when the executive committee, OF
the United States Golf Association
takes I'D the question Of rating the va
rious golfers for the 1915 national
handicap list Blanks have been re-
ceiyed by the various clubs and must be
filled out and returned by December 10.
Last year but four local players were
rated. although the names of dozen
or more were sent in, but it is believed
that the change, making the maximum
handicap five strokes instead Of six.
was. largely responsible in that many
who had been rated at six the year De-
fore were Simply cast aside without the
committee having investigated to see
whether their record was good enough
to be reduced a stroke. The commit
tees attention has been called to the
matter this year, however, and 1t Is
almost an assured fact that more local
players will receive recognition on the
new lis. The Columbia Country Club
has sent in it's data. DR.. Lee L. Har.

Eynon, jr., and George P. James having
been recommended by the club. AS the
records of all four of these players nave
been exceptionally good for the year
and as each has equaled or beaten par
several times, 1t is not seen now the
executive committee can possibly omit
their names from the forthcoming Inst
Neither the Washington Country Clup
nor Bannockburn has any names TO
submit, as none OF their PLAYERS mas
vet reached n 5-handicap height. The
golf committee at Chevy Chase is now
at work on it's list and it is expected
that the necessary data will be gotten
together In a day or so and forwarded
to New York in plenty of time to be
considered on the 18th. Last year,
on account of many of the clubs delay
ing in sending in the data on the
players they wished considered. the
handicap list was very slow in being
made up, but the committee Is eNcep-
tionally anxious to get it out on time
this year and for this reason is hurry
ing things along.
