other states have been modelled.

the University of Wisconsin, since 1885.

in three sessions of five weeks each,
the first term beginning Nov. II and
the third losing March 10.
SHORTAGE OF FOOD PRODUCTS.
The war has intensified a general
shortage of food products which has
been growing for several years, but
which this country had not felt until
the war made it plainly apparent. To
help solve the problem the depart
ment has not ADVOCATED any startling
changes, but has restated the principles
which it thinks are sound for the pres
ent aud the future.
These principles are: That each com.
munity, as far as practicable, should
produce it's own food and feed; each
community should increase the pro-
duction Of nonperishable products,
such as wheat, rye, beans and rice;
sugar-beet and sugar-cane pro AUCTION
should be- increased in suitable locali-
ties; and the commercial production
of perishables should not be increased
except where there are ample facili-
ties for transportation and market
The recommendations for 1918 are
made with these points 10 view, with
the idea that sound crop practices are
to be continued, and that other cereals
notably rye, should supplement wheat
