HOLD STATE FAIR
UPPER HOUSE INDICATES 1T
WILL NOT FAVOR SUSPEN-
SION DURING WAR.
BRAY AMENDMENT is KILLED
Senator Urges Conserving All OF
States Resources During Pres
ent Crisis - Appropriation for
Unpaid Bills.

Madison-There will be nc abandon
ment of the state fair at Milwaukee
during war times. The amendment
proposed by Senator William Bray to
the state fair appropriation bill for the
suspension of the state fair during the
war was rejected by the senate by a
vote of Is to Z.
The debate over the bill consisted
Of speech by Senator Bray in which
he detailed the necessity of conserv-
ing all of the states resources during
the war.
The amendment was opposed by
Senators Hanson and Everett. Sena-
tor Hanson said that it had been a
policy of France and England at the
beginning of the war to suspend ac-
tivities of this character and that it
had been found necessary to restore
them for the benefit of the people.
After the rejection of the Bray
amendment, the bill was ordered en-
crossed by viva voce vote. This bill
carries an appropriation of $125.00O
annually for the benefit of the fair.
An appropriation of $1,000 is made for
the building of fences and also an ap-
preparation for the payment of unpaid
bills remaining from the last fair.

URGES SPRAYING OF TREES
College of Agriculture Issues Bulletin
to Farmer to Preserve This
Years Apple Crop.

Madison-"At least one-half of the
total apple crop in Wisconsin is lost
annually, because of the lack of proper
spraying" This is a statement issued
by the College of Agriculture as war
bulletin to horticulturists to do all
possible to preserve the apple crop
this year.
The statement declares that 20
cents will pay for the spraying of a
sufficient number of barrels to save an
entire barrel The statement further
says that by spraying the number of
culls can be reduced from rs per cent
to 10 per cent and the number of per-
feet apples is increased from 10 per
cent to rs per cent, and that 20 cents
worth of spray will increase the value
of barrel of apples 200 per cent.
The bulletin advises all farmers
that by spraying their orchards they
can be made to produce $500 worth of
fruit where they had less than 500
worth before spraying.

MOBILIZATION is DEFERRED
General Holway Gives Lack of Equip
ment as Chief Reasonably Be
Called Out July I.

Madison - Mobilization of the Wis
consin National guard, scheduled for
June Is, has been indefinitely post
poned, Adjt.-Gen. Holway has an
nounced. Lack of equipment is the
reason given by Gen. Holway for the
postponement.
The decision postponing the mob1l-
izing of the guard at Camp Douglas
from the date set was reached by
Holway on receipt of telegram from
the war department that it was I'M
able to furnish requested equipment
but would do so as soon as the manu-
facturers could turn it out. Holway
lacks rifles and tents. He believes it
possible that the government may be,
able to furnish the supplies in time
to mobilize by July /.
At present there are about $4,000
in the guard This includes the Third
regiment now in federal service.
There are about 10000 to be assem-
bled at the mobilization point. To
house these guardsmen Holway has
about 200 tents, which will take care
of only 1000 men at most. He has
5000 rifles with which to arm the 49,
900 guardsmen.

central powers from mines in those countries. A comparison of that insig nificant tonnage with the tonnage available for the allies and contracted for by them opens up the very natural question as to how the central powers have managed to get along. and there is but one answer namely. that they must have cleaned up every pound of copper in every shape which was to be had and wherever it was to he ob- tained without regard to consequences
 This all has a bearing on the quan. tity of copper that will be required after the war by the central powers for the purpose of replacement in every line of industry. notably the telegraph and telephone companies: the railway companies: the electric light and pow CT companies, and for all of the end less purposes copper in times of peace can be and must be used
 In production of the l00.000.0O0 pounds of copper within the territory of the central powers it will no doubt be found that mines have been operat- ed without regard to cost or future operation, and that they cannot and will not continue to produce any such tonnage. Some of them undoubtedly will have to stop and the production from all of them will be largely re- duced.
 The situation at the end of the war will therefore be, so far as the central powers are concerned, that they will have, comparatively speaking, no sup ply of their own production available and they must enter the market as

the American manufacturers will be willing to seek out this business. Good Demand After War.
 For the period of the war and un- | til the peace treaty is signed there will be urgept demand for all the cop per that can be produced. and for many months thereafter the demand will continue. perhaps not so insistentlv as now and at lower level of price: but if there should be any very great drop in the price the mining companies, ! having learned their lesson in the early months of the war and having demonstrated that production can be reduced without increase in cost, will no doubt resort to the same exDedient as was then found to work so advent ageously and bring their output to a level with the demand.
 , There can be no doubt that business in large volume, requiring large ton nages of copper, has been held uD in this country because of the scarcity of copper and other things entering into construction which could not be had without regard to price, and also quite some business has been held up because of the high level of prices This business is sure to come along in time and in large volume because of it having been deferred and because of the large amount of money that will be available for investment wien more normal conditions are restored.
