WISCONSIN and THE LOAN

Visions covered herself with glory
in the recent Liberty Loan campaign.
The states general showing on sub
script'ons for the war bonds was in
keeping with the most favorable made
in this part of the nation, eliciting
favorable comment from members of
the executive committee which con-
Quoted the campaign in the seventh
federal reserve district. The Badger
state simply took off its coat and rolled
up its sleeves at the start of the big
drive and waded through TO the finish
without cessation Of effort or energy.
The states contribution to the
nations war fund through subscription
to the second installment of the Liberty
Loan was $78, 1891 $50 or $27 ,831 $50 in
excess of the minimum allotment of
$50, 100000 The maximum quota was
$84, 100000, which, even in the most
hopeful moments of the strenuous cam
paign, generally was considered too
lofty target to hit. The state organi
cations, however, did not stop to rest
when they had topped the minimum,
but kept hammering away vigorously
at the task of narrowing the distance
to the maximum.

INTERNATIONAL LIVE
STOCK EXPOSITION

The international" is the stock
mans school of efficiency. Never has
there been a time when there was such
need of efficient methods in meat pro-
duction. Never has there been such
need of a marshaling of all resources
and all forces for production on the
farms of the United States. The "In-
ternationap' will impress lessons of
conservation and efficiency in produc-
ton of incalculable value. These les
sons will have special significance in
view Of the unusual conditions now ex-
listing. No man engaged in great
enterprise such as farming and food
production, at a time when the best
results are vital to the nations exist
ence, can afford to fail to secure in
formation that will add to his efficiency
and strengthen the service that he can
render. This is the meaning of the
International Live Stock Exposition at
Chicago the first week in December.

COOPERATIVE SPIRIT
GROWING IN WISCONSIN

That CO operative movements in Wis
consin are making headway is shown
by B. II. Hubbard in bulletin "Co-
operation in Wisconsin just issued by
the Agricultural Experiment station,
Madison.
Wisconsin is a leader in agricultural
"sticking together Forty per cent OF
her dairy products are made in factories
owned by the farmers. Live stock ship
ping associations have saved farmers
from so to S5 cents hundred pounds, a
fact which accounts for the steady
growth of these organizations all through
the state. With volume of business
second largest in the state, the coop
erative feed, elevator, and produce
companies have prosperous trade.
To succeed in CO. cooperation, the bulle-
tin suggests that the farmers themselves
should be the promoters. The stranger
is too often working only for his fee.

POULTRY MAY BE EATEN ON
TUESDAYS

Owing to the plentiful supply of
poultry of all kinds in cold storage at
this time and the further fact that small
inland towns find it extremely difficult
to procure fish for Meatless Tuesday,
the Food Administration wishes to ap-
prove of poultry being served on all
Tuesdays hereafter until further notice
There are in cold storage over 25,OO0,-
600 pounds of chickens and approx
mately 100000 ponnds of turkeys.
The Legal Department of the United
States Food Administration has decided
that it is illegal for the storage ware
houses to carry in storage this large
stock any longer and it will soon be re-
leased for consumption.
With this large volume of poultry
coming on to the market for sale, con-
sumers may look for an abundant sup
ply at lower prices.
