FREDERIC CRANEFlELD.
Well-known Horticulturist Who De-
clarcs Wisconsin Is as Good
Fruit State as Any and
Better Than Many.

Given the right kind of a man, the
right kind of land and the right kind
of fruit, as much money may be made
in fruit raising in Wisconsin as in any
other place in the United States.
That, at least, is the carefully consid-
cred announcement of Frederic Crane
field, secretary of the Wisconsin State
Horticultural society. And what is
more, he is convinced that we have
the right combination of men, land
and fruits to insure success in this
important industry.
With a little money, good horse
sense, plenty of ambition, a stout
heart, hardened muscles and clever
wife, a young man, Mr.. Cranetield as
serts, can develop a splendid fruit
farm in Wisconsin, and before middle
age have, a business that will yield
him comfortable income for the rest
OF his days.
Fruit raising" he says. is not un-
like any other business enterprise.
Capital. common sense, energy de-
termination and close application to
details are all quite as essential in
fruit raising as in any other CONNER
cial occupation 1t is the man behind
the tree that counts"
More than to any other factor, the
progress and development OF fruit
growing in Wisconsin is due to the
work done by the Wisconsin State
Horticultural society. With but few
intermissions the history Of this so
ciety from the date of it's organiza-
ton In 1853 as the Wisconsin Fruit
Growers association, to the present
has shown the value of organized eff.
fort and cooperation. The early
pioneers to Wisconsin found them.
selves In a country barren OF fruit,
but by no means void of possibilities
in horticulture. Instead of merely
lamenting their need, those early set
tiers set about to improve their con
ditions and for this purpose organized
that each and all might be benefited
Largely due to the work done by the
Wisconsin State Horticultural society
and its predecessor, Wisconsin is rap
idly becoming one of the leading fruit
producing states of the Union.

Takes Issue With Nelson.

milwaukee, journal: Says Congress
man John M. Nelson in letter to The
Mineral Point Democrat:
1.-THE situation Ia now critical The president
IL face to face with his Goliath. lie put
through his tariff bill but neither the people
nor the trusts cared much about the tariff
Truly the intelligence of II congress
man is an amazing thing. AT its
zenith, it is almost human; at the
nadir. it deiies comprehension.
Neither the people nor the trusts
cared much about the tariff" And
Mr.. Nelson Is II representative of the
people. lie must know. This explains
probably why, in 1909, he insurged
against his party and voted against the
Payne Aldrich bill. For the people
cared then. They still cared in 1919,
cared so much that the Republican
party was left high and lonesome on
the peaks of the Green and the
Wasatch mountains.
But in 1913 That was different
The people had forgotten why they
overturned the ADMINISTRATION; the trusts
had forgotten why they fought for it
The anti tariff lobby was merely play
full. Therefore, Hon. John M. Nelson
careleesly voted against the Underwood
bill and for the Payne Aldrich law
But, of course. nobody cared much,
Neither the people nor the trusts
cared much about the tariff !" And

Just tell them | am happy because
Pm busy" is the answer vouchsafed
by w. c. Bradley of Hudson, in reply
to the questionings of a representa-
tive of the Farm Page.
Therein lies the strength of the
Farmers Institute work carried on i'll
Wisconsin. 1t is conducted and kept
vitality active by energetic, purposeful
and practical farmers.
Mr.. Bradley has the distinction of
having been present and having
helped to organize the first Farmers
institute ever held in Wisconsin, that
given at Hudson in St CrOiX county
tWenty-seven or twenty eight years
ago. He has been a farmer from his
youth; was born on n farm in Polk
county in 1859. and took entire charge
of it's management at the age of four
teen. At twenty-one, according to his
own estimate, he married the best
girl in Wisconsin, bought farm on
credit and paid for it in few years
strictest economy. Mr.. Bradley has
conducted farmers institutes for
seventeen years and still does his full
share of the hard work on his farm
He holds the office Of president of
one of the largest mutual fire insur-
ance companies in Wisconsin and is
the poor commissioner of st. CroiX
county.
He was gifted by nature with rare
appreciation of the beauties Of the
open country, and early association
with Bill Nye, who as a young man
taught the Bradley district school,
tended greatly to increase this rare
quality

MILLIONS SPENT IN
FIGHTING DISEASE
$4,000, 900 Expended In 1918
TO Prevent tuberculosis.

WashingtOn.-The National Associa
ton For the Prevention and Study %
Tuberculosis has prepared n statement
showing that approximately 500
600 was spent in this country last year
in the treatment of persons afflicted
with the disease and in the mainte-
nance of preventive measures.
Treatment of tuberculosis patients in
the more than 800 sanitariums and
hospitals of the country and the con
struction of such institutions cost ovcl
S1S,OOO,O0O of the total expenditures
Care of patients in dispensnries and
open air schools cost about SS25 900.
Anti-tubcrculoSis associations and com
mittees spent nearly $675,OOO, while
state and local boards of health and
special tuberculosis commissions spent
over $250.OO0.
More than $13,S00000. or COB per
cent of the total Expenditures, came
from public funds. The percentage of
public money spent in tuberculosis
work has increased from 53.5 to near
~ 40 per cent since 1909.
New York state spent more money
in tuberculosis work than any other
two states.

new enrCllments listed since the law
went into effect Until amended by the
last legislature, the law required that
all certificates should be renewed BIZ
ennially, and that fee of one dollar
should be paid. The new law provides
that all enrolment certificates shall
expire on the first day of January fol-
lowing the date of issuance and that
they must be renewed not later than
the first of April following. The sec

to record it's certificate with the regis

With climate and soil conditions
that could scarcely be surpassed, and
with the support of a strong enroll

Wisconsin will become a much greater

THE MAN FOR GOVERNOR.

The Democrats Of Wisconsin have n
great task set before them in the cam
paign of this year. 1t is up to them to
nominate aud elect Il state ticket. 1t Is
taken and accepted that they will ac-
complsh this task. They ought to do
it, and they ought to do it right. Per
sonal iealOuaes have disrupted the
Republicans of Wisconsin Ms they have
never been disrupted before. Poor
financial management, with consequent
bnrdensome taxation, has brought them
into disrepute. The people have found
them wanting, and are looking to the
Democrats for better things in state
government; and they should not be
disappointed Of their hope,
To win and hold public confidence at
this important crisis, the Democrats,
standing firmly for the most rigid
economy in the conduct of public
affairs, should nominate capable,
tried and trusted forward looking man
for ench of the state Offices and for
United States senator. The choice for
governor is Of first importance. Re-
sponsible leadership will be his charge.
Government by party still obtains, and
will continue. But government by the
party boss, or the state chairman Of the
party committee, has passed away.
Therefore in taking thought Of your
choice for the Democratic nomination
for governor bear in mind that he
should be nm able constructive states
man. He will be expected to do II
mans part in the nation wide work of
squeezing monopoly out of business.
