WHERE THE SAND
DRIFTS LIKE SNOW

Farmers in this section of the coun-
try are lucky that they do not live in
Portage county. The Stevens Point
Journal tells of a few freaks that
happened near there during the re-
cent wind sorm. 1t says:
1.-The strangest freaks of this week S
sand storms, the worst in the history
of Portage county, are perhaps the
huge sand drifts that have been formed
in many localities. For example, there
is a place along the roads between
this city and Rosholt where the drifts
are at least five feet in height, cover
ing the fence tops and sloping down
to the middle of the macadam road
eighteen or twenty feet away. Num-
erous other drifts of all shapes and
sizes have ben reported. One farmer
near this city is reported to have lost
about $40 worth of clover seed which
was blown out of the ground. The
saddest case of all was that of a
farmer living on a mortgaged farm in
the county. It is stated that the wind
blew away the farm leaving only the
mortgage"

THE FLAG ON MEMORIAL DAY

The following question is asked
frequently:
What is the correct way to put out
a flag on Memorial day, May 80?
Here is the answer, taken from the
United States army regulations: "On
Memorial day at all army posts and
stations the national flag will be dis
played at half staff from sunrise un-
til midday, and before noon the band
will play a dirge or some appropriate
air At the conclusion of this mem
orial tribute, at noon, the flag will
be hoisted to the top of the staff and
will remain there until sunset"
On Memorial day or other occasion
when the flag is displayed at half
stan, on raising the flag it should go
to the peak and then be dropped one
width of the flag. In striking the
flag it should be always returned TO
the peak before retiring.

PARIS GREEN SUBSTITUTE

Scarcity of paris green and its con-
sequent high price, on account of the
war conditions, should not alarm po-
tato growers and fruit growers.
A better spray material, known as
arsenate of lead, has not risen in
price and should take the place of
paris green in the popular mind
Arsenate of lead should be pur-
chased in the powdered form and used
in the same manner as paris green,
although a stronger dosage is neces-
sary.
Arsenate of lead is superior to paris
green because it will burn foliage,
sticks better during rainy seasons and
settles in the spray tanks less quickly
A bulletin discussing spray mater
ials and their uses will be mailed free
on request by J. G. Sanders, state
entomologist, state capitol, Madison

LIMITING HOURS OF WOMEN

Following the Wi sconsin Supreme
courts decision on the law limiting
h ours of labor of women, the Wiscon-
sin industrial commission has given
notice to the eighty pea Gamers of
Wisconsin that they must operate
their factories without permitting
women to work in excess Of the linn
its laid down in the law.
Justice Rosenberry's opinion has
made it impossible for the Gamers
to operate on the extended limitation
of women's hours which they have
enjoyed since the legislature of 1913,
recognizing their peculiar needs,
made provision for them. This pro-
vision, according to Justice Rosen-
berry's opinion, is demonstrations |
and can not be continued.
The commissions letter says that
''women may be employed not to ex-
ceed fifty five hours in any one week
and not to exceed ten hours in any
one day. This schedule is limited by
OAiO DCOhCCA Jl1G IlOUIS Vi
s p. m. and a. m. women NAV be
employed not more than eight hours
in any one night and not more than
forty-eight hours in any one week"
In succinct terms the commission
law strictly as it is now interpreted
in the Rosenberg opinion.
The commission says:
"The industrial commission must
enforce the law as construed by the
court, and canning companies must
expect to operate their plants strictly
within the hour limits indicated
above.
''The decision of the court is made
in case where company not only
violated the statutory limit of wom-
ems hours, but was guilty of an ag-
gravated violation of the extended
hours allowed by the commission.
"We are advising you of this situa-
tlon in order that you may have ample
time in which to re-arrange acreage,
increase equipment or to make such
other preparations as will enable you
to operate strictly within the provi-
SiOnS of the law.
Appeals to the commission for any
change in the statuary limitations
will, of course, be futile, for the rea-
son that the commission is no longer
| clothed with such authority"
Besides restricting the operations
of the proprietors, the Rosenberg
opinion does away with extra pay
formerly, earned by women employees,
who, under the former orders, were
paid time and half for overtime.
Women in the pea canneries are paid
about 10 cents per hour on the aver
age. The customary scale runs from
! 7 cents to Is cents.
