Floats Were Fine

The floats representing differ
ent business houses and manu-
featuring institutions of the city
are entitled to special mention.
The KenfieId-Lamoreaux COM
pany had a float representing
their business. On the wagon
was many of the different things
manufactured by this institution,
in. luding Grating, heading, wire
spools, etc. The float was drawn
by six horses.
The Northwestern Fuel COM
pany's float was neat, showing
the different kinds of coal sold
by this company.
The M. H. Sprague Lumber
company had a float drawn by
eight horses. The wagon was
loaded with over 5000 feet of
lumber of different grades.
Amos Hansen had a float
representing a human flag with
a Goddess of Liberty" at the
top. The flag was. made by
children dressed in national
colors. On the banners at the
side of the wagon were the
words I'VE appreciate DUPONT"
which was meant to convey the
opinion Washburn business men
have for this company. The
float attracted a good deal of
attention.
]. S. Fletcher and A. P. Fraser
had a combined float represent
ing Mr.. Fletcher's feed business
and A. P. Fraser's land business.
The float was a beauty and was
awarded first place.
B. Ungrodt had a fine float,
displaying summer goods sold at
his store. The float was the work
of Dean Carson and Carl Ungrodt
and was a beauty.
The float of the w. G.. T. u,
was decorated in white and
carried many little tots. The
banners on the side pleaded fol-
a saloonless nation by 1920. The
float was a beauty.

their willingness to cooperate
The Washburn people will en-
deavor to show a like spirit by
cooperating with the Bayfield,
people in making their Summer
Chautauqua, to be held July 18th
to 22nd, a adecided success. There
is now talk here Of having all
business houses of the city close
for one day in order to give the
employees an opportunity to at
tend the Chautauqua.
The spirit which now exists
between the people of the two
cities has caused the imaginary
line which separated them to
disappear entirely and everyone
now feels that the road between
the two places should be a
straight and short one with a
welcome sign at both ends.
Washburn and Bayfield, have
much to gain by pulling together
and the people of the two places
are beginning to realize this
more and more. Let's cultivate
the spirit.

Seven Killed and Ten Or
More Injured
Explosion Occurred in the
Cordite Plant. No Wash
burn Men Hurt.

The Beloiel works of the Can
adian Explosive company, at
which a number of Washburn
men are employed, was the scene
of a big explosion on Tuesday.
Seven persons were killed, two
being girls, and ten or more were
injured by flying debris.
The explosion occurred in the
cordite plant. The supposition
is that the machinery started
a fire which caused the explosion.
Among the missing are Aylmer

A Fine Piece of FORK

The Sup Ariur TeleSram's big
booster edition for Northern
Wisconsin and the City OF
Superior made it's appearance
the latter part of last week.
This edition is fine piece OF
work and a very creditable
piece of advertising for the
Northland empire. The edition
is we'll written and is profusely
illustrated with fine views taken
from all sections of the district
covered by the write-up. Every
county in the north Wisconsin
district is also written up, a
whole page being devoted to the
city of Washburn. The edition
is to be used at the Panama
Pacific Exposition to advertise
northern Wisconsin.
In getting out this edition the
Superior Telegram has shown
great enterprise. The Telegram
never misses an opportunity 10

First Car Shipped Out Tues
day Afternoon
Berries are of Fine Quality
but Yield Will be Light.
Prices Good.

The strawberry season is now
on in full blast and business at
the warehouse of the Bayfield,
County Farmers & Fruit Growers
Association, where the crop is
being handled, is brisk.
The first berries from local
fields began arriving on the
market more than a week ago
but picking did not start in full
blast until after the 4th. The
first full car of fruit was shipped
out by the Association Tuesday
evening and large local shipments
were made again Wednesday.
1t is expected that a car will go
out again this evening and from
this time on a car of fruit may
be shipped every day as long as
the season lasts. Duluth received
the first car shipment.
The berries this year are of a
very fine quality. The crop is
expected to be light on account
of the heavy rains during the
first part of the growing season
which caused the roots of the
plants to rot in places, and this
weakened the plants and will
cause a shortage of fruit.
The growers are receiving
good prices for their berries,
which will help to make up for
the shortage in crop. The berry
business is a big thing for the
farmers and fruit growers for
the sale of the crop gives them
cash at a time of the year when
other crops are growing. The
business is growing to be a big
one.

Nothing That Equaled 1t
Ever Held in City
Bayfield, People Turned Out
in Large Numbers. Had
Fine Time.

WhaC was one OF the DlggeS'
and best 4th of July celebrations
ever held in Washburn, and fol-
that matter anywhere in North
ern Wisconsin, was held here or
Monday. The day dawned with
the weather anything but
promising. For several days
previous to the 5th there were
heavy rains which left the
streets muddy and the efforts o1
the street department to put
them in shape for the 5th failed
on account of the continuous
rains.
However during the morning
hours the clouds rolled away anC
the sun began to shine brightly
and the roads began to dry sc
that they were in fair shape by
the time the parade started.
The parade was the biggest
event of the kind ever held here.
A large number of business
houses were represented by
floats, among them being B
Ungrodt, Amos M. Hansen, J
is. Fletcher and A. P. Fraser,
the Kenfield Lamoreaux company
the M. H. Sprague Lumber com.
pany, Northwestern Fuel com.
pany. The w. C. T. U. also haG
a float which was very neat and
John Love also had a small float.
All of the floats were drawn by
four six or eight horses and made
a fine showing. One of the big
features Of this parade was the
large number of decorated auto.
mobiles. The Bayfield, delegation
was represented by nearly thirty
machines, all of which were nice
ly decorated. Washburn autoists
also turned out in number. The
parade was over a half mile long
and was a grand sight.
Immediately following the
parade the speaking took place
at the Carnegie Library. The
Declaration of Independence
was read by Mrs. E. C. Alvord
and this was followed BY the 4th
of July Address delivered by A,
H. Wilkinson Of Bayfield,. Both
were much enjoyed.
The sport program began after
dinner. The first was a base
ball game between Washburr
and Ashland. This was a tight
contest which was not decided
until the 11th inning. Ashland
led the contest by scoring two
in the first and second inning.
while Washburn made one lone
score in the third and tied the
score in the ninth. Both side,
were blanked during the tentl
inning and Washburn succeedet
in getting a man around tn,
bases in their half of the 18th
winning the contest. The rae
program took place at the bal
grounds after the ball game bu
on account of it's length was no
completed.
The music during the day wa
furnished by the Washburn Cit
Band and the members of tha
organization are entitled to
good deal Of praise for their fin
selections.
One thing we wish to especial
mention in connection with thi
celebration was the way
which the Bayfield, people turne
out and thei, help in making
such a decided success. Thirt
automobiles, neatly trimmed an
loaded with people, arrived
time for the parade and forme
a big feature of it. Hundreds {
people also came down from tn
Harbor City by train and b
boat and remained here to spen
the entire day. This spirit O
the part of the Bayfield, peopl
was highly appreciated by tn
ilpeople of Washburn and shove

Potato Varieties.

With the close of the potato har-
vest season for 1915 the time seems
opportune to call to the attention of
both the grower and the scotsman
the desira billy of considering serious
ly a very material reduction in the
number of varieties grown in any
given community or section of the
country.
1t has been the history of every
other staple crop that the fewer the
varieties grown the more easily are
they marketed. The pioneer fruit
grower in America tried TO grow as
large a list of varieties as he could
afford to purchase, while to-day the
tendency is to reduce the list to the
least number that can be depended
upon 10 meet the market require
ments. The reason for this is that
il has ben found a much easier task
to sell large quantities of one va
riety than an equal quantity made up
of large number OF varieties. IL Is
believed that the same principle APP
plies to the potato crop.
In a recent publication by the de-
partment, Bulletin No. 176, sys-
tenn of classification of potatoes is
presented in which the leading COM
mercial types are referred to IL
groups, and a list of the varieties
studied which are thought to be-
long to each group is furnished. In
many cases the varieties listed in
each group are so nearly identical
that in the opinion of the author OF
this bulletin there is no justifica-
tion for the renting of more than 10
per cent of them.
The commercial grower should de-
termine what group or class of po-
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1915-12-17

tatoes is best adapted to his climatic
and soil conditions, and then confine
his efforts to not more than one or
two varieties within that group. In
this way it will be possible for him
to become more familiar with the be-
havior of the variety he is growing;
to recognize it's special cultural re-
quirements and to offer for sale a
much more uniform and high-grade
product that where he is dissipating
his energies on dozen or more va
rieties.
The potato growers of some of our
Middle West States particularly those
of Wisconsin, are being strongly ur-
ged by their potato specialists and
State associations to adopt the COM
munity plan of growing potatoes of
one, at the most, two varieties. In
this way the buyer can be assured of
securing a uniform stock, in carload
lots of Green Mountain, Rural New
Yorker, or other classes OF potatoes.
o. The movement must come from the
grower through combining his efforts
TO a few varieties, preferably not
more than one or two. These should
be selected intelligently. with refer
ence to soil and climatic conditions.
For example, the Green Mountain
group is particularly well adapted to
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1915-12-17

the cooler and mOister sections of the
United States. The Rural New YoE}x-
er, while succeeding under simnkr
conditions, is also able TO produce
satisfactory crops where air and soil
temperatures are higher, and where
the summer precipitation is scant,
provided moisture is abundant in
September and October. The Irish
Cobbler group. consisting of early va
rieties, is at its best in the North,
but also produces well when planted
as an early truck crop in the South.
The size of the seedman's list is
very largely, If not entirely govern
ed by the grower, and the remedy
lies wholly with him.
The efforts of the potato grower.
dealer, and scotsman should be d.
rected as follows:
l Reduce thew ariety list to a few
STANDARD commercial varieties.
2. Standardize these by careful Sc
lection and culture.
3. Adopt the community plan of
growing one or two varieties and adj
vertise this fact to the public.
.. Demand a higher grade seed
potato from your seed grower or
dealer, but in so doing be willing TO
pay correspondingly better price
for 1t.
