PLAN NATIONAL CHEESE DAY
Let Every One Get Acquainted With
Value of Product, Green County
Mems Slogan.


Monroe.-Monroe boosters are work
ing out plans which will result in the
establishment of an annual national
cheese day, at which time every one
will be urged to make the acquain-
lance of some kind of cheese. During
"get together" banquet held here, in
celebrating the success of the second
annual Cheese day of Oct. II, it was
decided an effort would be made to
get into touch with other cheese pro-
ducing centers of the country with a
view of launching an annual cheese
day.
During the last year Green county
produced 511,959 pounds of American
cheese, 6,188,S24 pounds of Swiss,
3,041 ,465 pounds of Limburger and
1,5S6,747 pounds of brick cheese from
the 1892 cows in the county, the
dairy products of the county being
valued at $3,7S5, 064.81. 1t is regarded
as certain that with proper publicity
still greater returns will be possible,
while at the same time the value of
cheese will be brought more to the
attention of the general public and
thousands who do not now use the
product will be convinced, as is proven
by tests, that it has a greater nutritive
value than meat.

WOULD ALTERNATE SEASON
New Richmond Man Would Prohibit
Shooting Deer Every Other
Year.

New Richmond.-There has been
launched by the sportsmen in this city,
II. F. Barnes of the H. S. Thompson
Lumber company taking the initiative,
movement looking toward the
amendment or repeal of the present
law, which limits deer hunters in this
state to one deer and that buck. Mr..
Barnes says that the law prohibiting
the shooting of does, while undoubted-
ly correct in theory, is not protecting
the deer, but 1t is increasing the num-
Der killed and adds that If the present
slaughter is not stopped the deer in
the northern Wisconsin woods will
soon be exterminated.
Mr.. Barnes proposes the repeal Of
the one buck provision of the present
law, and substituting in lieu thereof
some real protection Tor the deer To
this end he proposes that the shooting
of deer, both male and female and of
all ages, be prohibited in Wisconsin
every other year. He would have an
open season of not to exceed twenty
days, but only once in two years.

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported of the wheat crop Of Western
| Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate of an average yield over the
three western provinces of Upward or
25 bushels per acre. There is no
portion Of that great west of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices. says that he made the price or
the land out of this years crop or
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department OF the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased tom
mage of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The C. P. r. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of $4,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1913. when the Western wheat crop
made a new record for that date. The
increase in c. P. r. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only $751;, 900, or less than half Of the
increase reported this year. The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The G. p. r. is handling 1000
cars per day, new record. The
G. T. R. and the G. N. r. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian feet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down cargo OF
476,315 bushels, a new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are "go-
ing by the board" in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
Of the new crop began in August,
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.--Ad-
vertisement.
