vail. The forecasts enable proper pre-
cautions to be taken by anticipating
these conditions, and also give in
formation as to favorable weather
conditions for several days in ad-
vance, so that sheep may be graZed
farther away from protection. During
the spring of 1916 this information
was telegraphed to 26 different points
in these three states, and from them
distributed by telephone to hundreds
of sheepmen.
In addition to the sheep service. the
Weather Bureau maintains special
cattle range weather services with
headquarters at Amarillo, Texas, and
Roswell New Mexico. Observations
are made at IL special stations and
reports are received from 20 other
points in the cattle-range district OF
the Southwest Daily bulletins are
published giving stockmen the rainfall
and temperature over the southwest

New York, Dec. 1.-The recent visit of
the American track and field team TO
Scandinavia promises to be but the fore
runner Of other and more important in
tersectional athletic contests. As re-
suit Of the competition Of the team in
Sweden, the sum of 165, 600 crowns ($44.5oO
has been subscribed by the leading pat
rons of amateur sport in that country.
for the financing of return invasion OF
Swedish athletes to the United States
during the summer of 1917. With this
sum in hand 1t appears almost certain
that Coach Ernie Hjertberg will bring
a team of from 10 to % of the best Swe-
dish track and field performers to these
shores next season while an All-Sweden'
football team is likely to be an additional
attraction.
The American athletes brought back
from Sweden an imposing gold and silver
tankard inscribed to Simpson. Murray.
Meredith, Ward and Loomis and this has
been turned over to the Amateur Athletic
Union which financed the trip of the team
to Scandinavia. Several suggestions have
been advanced regarding the final dis
position of this trophy, among them be-
Ing one to the erect that IT be oHereu as
a perpetual prize for international atk-
letics between teams representing this
country and those OF Scandinavia. 1t is
possible that this proposal will be car
ried out and the cup put up for the 1917
games should the Swedish team come to
the United States
Baseball fans Of the Isthmus Of Panama
are booming that section as an excellent
location for one or more training camps
for the big league teams. 1t is claimed
that the sanitafy conditions of the Canal
Zone, under the care and direction Of the
Army and Canal officials, are excellent
and that with the dry season extending.

An Interview With Mr.. Embree.
Madison. Wis, Nov. 29-Mr. c. E..
Emhree of Waterville, Maine, long the
| head of the Farmers Union of Maine,
says:
Il have just returned from Fond du
| Lac. Wisconsin, where I attended a
! three day session Of the Wisconsin,
State Union of the American Society
of Equity, a farmers business organ
ization with about 400 branches in va
rious parts of the state. There were
about 700 delegates present made up OF
many nation alities, but all in accord
with the principles of cooperation.
II have not yet investigated thor
oughly along the many lines of activ-
lty. but 1 am safe in saying that the
farmers who are members of the
EQUITY" do not look upon their or
ganiZation from the same view point
that the membership of the Farmers
Union of Maine look upon their organ
ization. In Wisconsin, owing to the
fact that many nationalties are en-
gagged in farming, the Old World ideas
or ideals intrude somewhat upon our
American ideals. In some cases this is
an Improvement, while in others it is
a detriment. The German element pre-
dominates IN many sections and they
contribute very largely to the great
prosperity of Wisconsin. To enter into
a detailed description of conditions as
[ see them would be impossible in this
letter, hut l will try to convey to the
Maine farmer the difference between
farming in Wisconsin and in Maine.
THE delegates to the convention by
their close attention to details gave the
sponsihility as individuals ! also not
ed that there was great desire on the
part of those present to take part in
tho deliberations. The greater part of
the first day was taken up by gentle
men who had a message to deliver, and
really they displayed considera BILE abil-
fly as speakers. and in fact there APP :
peared to be a desire on the part of
the speakers to impress upon the dele
gates the fact that their officers and
organizers We're men of considerable
ability as speakers. Another feature
was the fact that there was a consid-
ere BILE delegat ton present who repre-
serted whole districts that are not con-
nected in a business way with the CEN
trail orga nization. Still they were there

This service consists Of several separ-
ate branches. The cranberry service
in eastern Massachusetts, and south
ern Wisconsin has now been extended
to the Shell Lake district of North
western Wisconsin. The orchard fore
casts and warnings are principally for
the benefit of fruit men in Ohio, Col
orado, Utah, Washington, Oregon, and
California. This service has been ex-
banded by the establishment of seven
new stations in the grape and peach
growing districts of northern Ohio and
by the detailing of trained men for
special duty in the fruit district of the
Hood River Valley, Oregon, and the
Gunnison Valley, Colorado. These
men study the local situation and give
expert information to the fruit grow
ers as to the temperatures to be ex-
pected and as to the probable need to
light fires in their orchards.

ball is exceedingly popular and the teams
would be sure Of good gates at any ex-
hibition games that might be staged
during their stay In the Canal Zone.
No better illustration Of the popularity
Of football need be cited than the crowds
and the amount Of money spent in at
tending the Harvard-Yale and Army
Navy games played in New York and
New Haven on the same day this season.
One hundred fifty-three thousand. eight
hundred dollars was paid in admission
charges to the Yale Bowl and receipts
from all sources. including a collection
for charity between halves totaled $16s, 10.
The actual attendance was close to $4,000.
The Army-Navy game. played less than
100 miles away, drew about $1,000 specta-
tors Of whom one-third, in round num-
bers, paid $500 each for tickets. The ag-
gregate amount therefore ran well over
$2o0.00o
This was but a small proportion of the
total amount expended by those who wit
messed the contests. Many came from
distant parts Of the country and railroad
fares. hotel accommodation and meals
cost sums far in excess or the actuaf
amounts paid for admission to the Yale
Bowl and the Polo Grounds. It has been
estimated that more than s1,0oooOo was
spent in New York as a result of the play
ing of the Army-Navy game. 1t is fact.
notwithstanding the great number of ho-
tells in and about the city. that rooms
were unavailable at any price on Friday
and Saturday nights and many parties
were forced to travel to points in Jersey
and Pennsylvania for sleeping quarters.
Similar conditions. upon smaller scale,
prevailed in New Haven where. it was
stated, the great football throng left
close to $4,000 behind it on payment for
tickets, hotel accommodations, meals,
automobile charges and incidental nth
hour purchases.

duced only 26.6 per cent. Of the entire
amount Of cheese made in the United
States, 46.6 per cent. was MADE WITHIN
the state in 1909. These facts empha-
size the importance Of giving special
attention to the problem OF market
ing Wisconsin cheese.

farm upon which he was born. Like
most of the other farmers in Sheboy-
gan county he derives his living or
principal income from the milk which
he hauls to the cheese factory.
