JANUARY SETS NO
WEATHER RECORD
Months Temperatures Fail TO
Equal Fifty-Year Mark Set in
1912, Says Forecaster Miller

This is by no means the coolest
January in so years, as many believe,
according to Eric r. Miller, weather
forecaster at Madison.
"The average temperature for Jan
uay so far has been above 8 degrees
above, and this is seven degrees
above the mean temperature of Jan
uary, 1912, the coldest January in
over SO years" said Mr.. Miller.
In 1883, 1884 and 1887, the mean
temperature of January was 8 degrees
above, and in 1898, degrees above
in 1857 and 1885, above, and in 1875
4 above.
Since 1894, however, the mean tenn
perature for January has been from
10 degrees above in 1895, to 26 de-
grees above, 1914, with the exception
of 1912, when it was 1 degree above.
This January, then, is the coolest
for 25 years, with the exception OF
1912.

in other parts of the country" said

tails concerning the mutiny. 1t is said
to have been begun by submarine
crews and subsequently to have spread
to portions of the crews stationed at
Kiel.
Some of the men who joined in the
attack on the officers took part in the
earlier mutiny at Kiel, the dispatch re-
ports. 1t adds:
although the mutiny was local, it
shows that German naval men are dis
satisfied, especially in the submarine
service, as the number of boats return

FINE PROGRAM
At WINTER MEET
An-Day Session of Sauk County
Horticultural Society Held in
Baraboo on Wednesday

A fine program with small attend
ance was written in the annals OF the
Sauk County Horticultural society aft
er the annual winter convention on
Wednesday. The sessions during the
day were held in the courthouse, and
in the evening the meeting was in the
high school building. William Toole
presided and Mrs. l.. H. Palmer per-
formed the duties Of secretary
The paper of L. M. Jacobs on "The
Home Vegetable Garden" was full OF
practical ideas. Mr.. Jacobs has one
of the finest gardens in town every
year, and is authority on this phase
of urban life.
Hill for Every Box
In discussing "Small Fruits" Whit
ney Allen said in growing eVerbear-
ing strawberries plant should be
grown for every box desired. He held
that by nipping off the buds in the
spring a good crop should be gathered
in the fall and one equally as large in
the spring. To this Mr.. Toole and the
secretary did not agree. He discussed
fertilizing the ground and advocated
thorough cultivation. AS to spraying
currants, since the worms hatch in
the ground, the spray should be at the
bottom of the plants that the early
eaters may get the poison.
The subject of "Roses" was dis
cussed by Henry Tinkham and Profes-
aH
subject, "Spraying for Better Fruit"
He said that people should mix brains
with their mixtures. If apple arees
were sprayed as they should be there
would be no necessity for grading.
Above all know what you are spray
ing for, he urged. AS to apple trees,
the fungi develop early in the spring
and should be killed as sCon as they
appear.
Mrs. F. H Horstman held that ''The
Home Flower Garden" has refining
influence on the mind, especially Of
the young.
Pick Apples in Sacks
DR.. Ball advocated picking apples
in sacks, and those present did not
agree with him that girls could do the
work just as we'll as anyone.
Mrs Hugh Kelley, in discussing
"Our Nature Wild Flowers" told of
the medicinal value found in them.
DR.. f. r. Winslow on Greens and
Salad Plants" gave long list Of those
which are edible, both north and south.
There are so many Of these, and they
are Of such great value that every
person should know about them.
Patriotic War Garden Meeting
In the evening Superintendent A. G.
Kingsford gave a spirited patriotic
talk on conservation and told what it
was hoped the boys and girls would
be able to do to help along with the
growing Of food next season. Early it
is proposed for the boys in the cities
to learn to milk and hitch up horse.
c. A. Hoffman, "War Gardens in
Baraboo,", gave many things every
home gardener should know.
Superintendent G.. w. Davies said it
was necessary to cultivate every inch
possible, and told of the Fairfield To
mato club The pupils of Miss Thayer
were given the use of an acre OF
ground one-half of which they planted
to alfalfa and the remainder to vege-
tables A pig is eating up the surplus
and the venture has been most graft
flying. In growing crops the market
must be considered.
The High School Glee club furnished
the music.
