POTATO BUG CONTROL

Some potato growing sections of the
state are now badly infested with the
common potato bugs" The colonies
of eggs are now Matching and between
the dates of July 18th and July 25th
the active feeding stage will be in
full swing.
Haying time is now here, also, and
the rush of this work may interfere
with potato bugging work.
Potato growers as a rule probably
realize the need of prompt work now.
The lack of good machines for COW
ering the vines promptly is especial
ly apparent in central Wisconsin.
Many growers, as usual, will be I'M
able to do the best work on account
of depending upon hand methods ex-
I clusively.
j. G. Milward, after an inspection
trip through the main potato belts,
reports the condition of the potato
crop excellent with the exception OF
bug infestation in some sections.
The use of Bordeaux Mixture at this
season of the year is on the increase
in control of the flea beetle and to
prevent arsenic burning of the vines.
Send to the Horticultural Department,
Wisconsin Experiment Station for
spraying directions.

KRUGER BROTHERS MEETAGAIN
AFTER A RESIDENCE OF HALF
A CENTURY In THE u. S. A.

1t was in 1867 when five sturdy
German lads arrived in Wausau with
their sister and parents. The trip
from Milwaukee was largely made
with the stage through a wilderness
of pine and hardwood forests over
mere trails. But the pioneer of those
days was unafraid of the hardships
that stared him in the face on every
hand. Bravely and courageously
these boys went to work with their
parents to clear the lands for their
future home.
The first sad experience came to
them when their father while telling
tree, was struck and killed by a
falling limb, leaving them and their
mother and sister to continue the
battle for life, but they persevered and
have become successful and honored
members of our citizenship.
Last evening at the home of A. w.
Kruger, the five brothers met in a
happy reunion after a separation of
twenty-three years.
Charles Kruger left Wisconsin
some twentythree years ago, settling
in Stafford, Ariz. He arrived here with
his son, Ray, for visit with rela-
tives and friends. He was astOunded
at the wonderful growth Wausau has
had, and was much impressed with its
cleanliness and beauty.
The reunion was in the nature of a
stag party; the five brothers gather
ing together, and the evening was
spent in talking over old times.
Mr.. Kruger will spend some time
visiting friends and relatives in the
city and county, and series of gath
erings are planned in his honor.
August, John, William, Bernhard
and Charles Kruger and their sister,
Caroline, with their parents were the
members of that immigrant party that
arrived in Wausau fifty years ago.

ment. He was accompanied to Wau-

church.

TROOP II OF MERRILL, DEPARTED
MONDAY FOR CAMP DOUGLAS

The first body of troops, organized
at Merrill for the war left yesterday
morning for Camp Douglas. Factories,
mills, business places, shops and of
fiices were closed until the train bear
ing Cavalry Troop H, departed for
Camp Douglas. About the whole pop
ulation of Merrill turned out to bid
the boys farewell. The parents of the
troopers met in front of the court
house and hea led by bands, all
marched to the depot, viz:
Mothers in autos.
Fathers on foot.
Citizens following.
There was a tremendous crowd at
the depot. A place had been roped
off and no one allowed inside with the
troopers, but mothers, fathers, broth
ers and sisters of the boys.
1t was great gathering, the likes
OF which had never been known in the
history of Merrill
On Friday evening a farewell func-
ton was given for the members of
Troop IL, which was attended by near
ly the entire population. The pro-
gram was commenced at s p. m. by
the band playing the "Star Spangled
Banner" George Robson, chairman
OF the Lincoln County Council of De-
tense, presided and there were elo-
quent speeches made by Mayor F. J..
Smith, f. E. Donohue, and presented
the boys with $4,000, which was ac-
knowledged by A. H. Smith, captain
OF the troop. This was followed by
R. B. Runke, who presented Captain
Smith with $250.00, with which to pur-
chase mount.
The young ladies of the city sold
refreshments during the evening and
the proceeds were added to the fund
of the company.
1t was great day of patriotic fer
Vor for Merrill, and a worthy event
to $50 young men who were off to the
war.
