Apprentice Boy for New Trade.

The industrial commission has ap-
proved the first apprenticeship contract
ever entered into in this state for the
trade Emitting Machine Adjuster."
This contract was entered into by
Elmer Schultz, a boy employee of the
Holeproof Hosiery company Of Mil
waukee.
The contract calls for four years
apprenticeship in which the boy will
learn to be an expert knitting machine
adjuster. This is a new trade, at least
in Wisconsin. Mechanics in this line
are in great demand in all knitting
factories Ordinary machinists cannot
be used in this work. Under this con-
tract the boy apprenticed as a knitting
machine adjuster will receive Is cents
an hour for the first year, which wage
is increased periodically until 26 cents
in the fourth year. Upon completing
the apprenticeship the boy will receive
500 bonus and will also be given a
certificate under the seal of the indus
trial commission certifying that he is
a qualified knitting machine adjuster.

COL. j. HICKS DIE Is
WELL KNOWN NEWSPAPER MAN
AND POLITICIAN VICTIM OF
HEART FAILURE.
OTHER WISCONSIN DOM GS
items of Interest Throughout the State
Gathered by Alert Correspondents
and BulIetined in Brief for
the Busy Reader.

Oshkosh-Col John Hicks, author,
newspaper owner and for many years
active in federal affairs and Wis con
sin politics, died suddenly in San An
tonic, Tex. Heart failure was the
cause Of death. Known for m any
years as proprietor of the Oshk osh
Northwestern, he became a power in
Badger politics. Col. Hicks was born
in Auburn, N. Y, on April II, 1B48,
and came to Wisconsin in his eli lid
hood. His father was killed in the
Civil war. By his own efforts he OBJ
tanned an education, succeeding in be-
ing graduated from Lawrence univ ers-
ity. Appleton. He began his ne VS.
paper work on the Oshkosh No nth
western when he was 20 years old, be-
coming owner a number of years ago
He was appointed United States d hin
lister to Peru in 1889 and served u htil
1898. He had been broad traveller,
being familiar with conditions in
Egypt, Turkey, Italy and France, hnd
also in Chilli, where he was Uni ted
States minister from 1905 to 1909.

He declared that unless Wisconsin
hemp will be good the growers cannot
afford to develop new sections for the
production Of the crop. Present quo
tations from seed producing centers
warrant the assumption on the part
of Wisconsin growers that the price
level will be kept rather beyond the
safety point.
Should Wisconsin be able to get
seed at Sc a bushel "a pounds in
bushel of hemp) and lay it down in
the state for 81, fairly good acre
age could be planted next spring, with
the possibility of opening some new
centers. Six dollars is said to be
liberal price for Kentucky seed grow
ers to get, and one which is entirely
fair, considering production costs, in
terest rates, and other items.
The total amount of hemp seed
available this year will be larger than
usual. The amount raised in Ken
lucky will be practically the same as
last year; several thousand bushels
of old seed were held over; and over
5000 bushels of seed were grown this
year in Kansas and California.
It is estimated that there will be
about 10000 bushels of seed produced
Last year the total acreage in the
United States was estimated at less
than $4,000 acres
The rate of seeding usually advocat-
ed is one bushel to the acre, so this
means that there will be about 10000
acres planted if all the seed is used
This would mean, however, an increase
of about 1900 acres in the principal
hemp-raising states. VIII there be as
large an increase as this? This is the
doubtful point at issue.
Wisconsin will do well to equal it's
7,O00-acre point made in 1917. OF
these, 1000 acres were sOWn at a con-
tract price of stated sum for each
ton of cured stalks.
Under existing conditions Wisconsin
will do we'll to get out an acreage of
hemp large enough to protect the cap
ital already invested in machinery and
breaking plants. Demand for seed is
also on the wane in California, where
smaller acreage is anticipated for
next year In the DakOtas and Mime
sofa and other Northwestern states,
where over 5000 acres were grown last
year, the crop was unsuccessful, and it
is doubtful if any seed will be used in
that region next spring. The chief
hemp increase will be in Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan, where the crop is grown
on muck land and there is plenty of
machinery to care for the crop.
Whether or not Wisconsin can prog
ress in hemp culture this year, then,
depends on conditions beyond the con-
troll of its growers. The result will
be awaited with interest.

This is the story of coffee pot that
exploded burning a hungry workman
about the face causing the loss Of his
right eye. After long consideration
the industrial commission hold in an
opinion today that a workman while
eating his lunch during the noon hour
is to be considered as performing a
service growing out of his employment.
Compensation was granted. William
Schurr was an employee of the La
Point Foundry company of Schleising-
erville The accident occurred on jan
uary IT, 1917.
1T was the applicants custom, as
we'll as that of other employees in the
foundry, who carried their dinner with
Them" says the decision, ito place
their coffee cans upon a stove in the
foundry shortly before noon in order
that their coffee would be heated at
lunch time. On the date in question
the applicant placed his coffee on the
stove at about II 80 a. N. The can
was an ordinary coffee can with
tight-ftting lid.
apparently the coffee was heated
more than usual, and when the appli-
can't undertook to remove the lid there
was an explosion of steam and the ap-
plicant was severely burned about the
face. The injuries were treated by
competent surgeon, but the applicant
has lost the sight Of his right eye as
the result of the injury"

ter. All fertilizer and lime will be or
vance of when needed. All farm ma
nure will be most carefully saved and,
whenever practicable, moved right
from the gutter to the field and spread
Immediately. Where this cannot be
done it will be carefully stored in sheds
and manure pits.
Potassium and nitrogen which are
now extremely high in price, are lost
rapidly when manure is leached by the
thawing snow and spring rains. Elk
posture III this way during March and
April usually means a loss of One-quar-
Ter to One3half of the value of the ma
nure.
Calculated on the present high price
Of potassium fertilizers, the potassium
n a ton Of average farm manure is it
self worth nearly five dollars. The
potassium is found largely in the liquid
portion of the manure and hence is
easily lost. When in addition to the
market value Of the potassium there is
added the market value of the nitro
gen and phosphorus, the value of a ton
of well-cared-fOr manure is found to
be about eight dollars. In addition to
supplying these three elements, ma
nure produces other beneficial effects.
Under ordinary conditions manure
has a value of about two and one-half
dollars per ton, but the present ex-
tremely high prices of all farm pro-
duce, together with the high price of
commercial fertilizers, now make farm
manure Of exceptional value.
