Fire Blight.

Fire blight is one Of the most de-
Structive apple diseases in Wisconsin.
1t is caused by little germs which get
into the young, growing tissues through
the blossoms or through wounds made
by insects, tools, etc. When inside
these tissues they multiply very rapid
,ly and cause the death of the affected
parts.

Make Garden on Paper First.
Measure your lot and then plan your
garden on paper. The more carefully
1t Is worked out the better In making
the plan first take care of the winter
vegetables; the summer vegetables will
take care of themselves. Plan to make
every foot of the garden produce the
maximum by growing quick-maturing
vegetables between the rows of long
season crops and in the rows to be de-
voted to Ete-planted vegetables.
If you plan right, care for the gar
den properly, and have favorable condi-
tons, a garden % by 40 feet should
produce most of the vegetables, except
potatoes, needed for family of four
or five. In addition, it will furnish an
abundance of the smaller summer vege-
tables. Locate the permanent crops
first and then work in the temporary
ones. The permanent crops to grow for
the winter supply, and that can still be
planted, are beets, late cabbage, car
rots, onions, parsnips, rutabagas, tur-
nips, tomatoes and possibly celery,
beans and satisfy.
Remember, your family can also
serve the nation by growing much of
the food it will need next fall and win

How to Find Poor Cows.

There are approximately 100000
cows in Wisconsin and if records were

found that at least 100000 of them are

association is the easiest, quickest
and cheapest way to detect these I'M

LESS MEATLESS MEALS.
Increased Meat Production Allows Re
adjustment Of Food Program.

Washington.-Temp suspension
of the meatless meal and of the spe-
cial restrictions against the use Of
pork on Saturday was announced by
the food administration Sunday night
as readjustment of its food conser-
walton program. Increased meat pro-
duction and the necessity for still
greater saving in wheat, 1t was de-
clared, make this change advisable.
The suspension is made effective for
an indefinite period, and it probably
will last for three months or longer.
Since all restrictions on consump-
ton of mutton md lamb had been
lifted previously, the food administra-
ton now asks the public for the time
being to deny itself in meats only beef
and pork on one day a week.
Increased meat consumption, food
administration officials believe. will of
itself curtail the use of wheat, and for
the present there is no intention to
add to the restrictions already in force
against the use of flour.

the following ruling:
1. That we will not arrest, retain or
deport any alien simply for joining the

2. That we will arrest and detatn,
until we can report, any alien, whether
member of the I. w. w. or not, who is
