PLANS STORAGE REGULATION
Senator Burke, Green Bay, to intro
duce Bill in Coming Legislature
to Give State Control.

Madison Senator Timothy Burke
of Green Bay will introduce bin in
the coming legislature calling for
state control of cold storage plants
and containing a provision giving the
attorney general authority to prose
cute any corporation guilty of holding
food for advance in prices.
81 think the time is ripe for the
state to step in and take hold of this
thing" said Senator Burke. al
though this has been poor season
for crops, l am convinced that there is
large quantities Of produce held in
storage plants and warehouses against
rise in price 1t has got to the point
where the people can not stand it any
longer, and / am sure the legislature
will look with favor on a measure
calling for strict regulation of dealers
handling food products
Senator Burke will also Introduce a
number of bills affecting Industrial life
in the state One of them will call for
an increase of from 25 to 80 per cent
in the compensation for injury sched-
ules for all visible injuries. Another,
or probably provision in the same
bill, will take up cumulative damage.
The present schedule calls for GER
tain sum for the loss of, for example,
each finger The loss of three fingers
is compensated for by an award on
the sum of the three. Senator Burke
claims the loss is more to the work
man than the sum of the three and
will ask for additional compensation
for such accidents.

PLENTY PULP WOOD IN STATE
E. A. Morse of Amigo, Points Out
Availability of a Million Cords
of HemIock and Balsaru-

Antigo-Exception is taken by For
mer Congressman Z. A. Morse to the
statement in a newspaper article sent
out by a Madison press bureau that
there is a scarcity in Wisconsin of
wood suitable for making paper pulp.
Mr.. Morse is a member OF a firm who
market large quantities of forest prod
ucts. He states that in Langlade coun-
ty alone there are twelve townships,
aggregating 776,4S0 acres, in which
timber suitable for use as pulp wood,
hemIock and balsam, is practically I'M
touched. Estimating cOnservatively the
yield of pulp wood will run about five
cords to the acre this makes an avail
able supply of 1,3S2,400 cords. Pulp
wood is now bringing only about $3.50
per cord, about cents cord more
than a year ago although paper has
doubled and tripled in cost.

TO FORCE ASPARAGUS PLANT
Hotbeds, Four Feet Wide, Are Made
Use of by French Gardeners Dur
ing Winter and Spring.

French market gardeners make use
of hotbeds for the forcing Of asparagus
through much of the autumn, winter
and early spring. 1t has developed
into a large industry, with some Of the
gardeners, says a writer in Farm and
Home. The frames used by the
French market gardeners for hotbeds
are only four feet wide. They are
placed in q bed of fermenting manure,
IS to 20 inches deep. and are banked
up to the level of the sash with more
manure.
After the hotbed is made the exces-
Sive heat is allowed to abate and the
asparagus roots are placed directly on
the manure They are not spread out
as they would be in the open ground,
but are packed as closely as possible
in the frames. a mere sprinkling OF
soil being placed over the roots.
Usually three or four-year-old roots
are used. As many as five crops of
roots follow each other during season
| in the same frame.

THE SMALL DISK

Place a very large disk at a distance

smaller disk, and while you look at
them from a distance you will per-
ceive them both in something like
their true proportions. says the Anna
list. As you go nearer and nearer
the smaller disk the proportions of
the two are lost, until when close to
the smaller one the view of the larger
disk is shut out entirely. So it was
in many respects in viewing last years

of that that we failed to realize how
very small a part of our total trade
our commerce with other countries is
We were doing twice as much BUSH
