$400, 100000 Case Plant
Part of Agricultural School

A new move in the training of
teachers in Agriculture is on. If
agriculture is anything at all, it is
vocational in nature. 1t must be
worked out and not talked out. Why
should teachers Of agriculture in our
public schools and among our farm
boys not be prepared to work out the
problems of Agriculture as we'll as to
talk them out in the classroom? We
believe that the proper place to train
for special phases Of the agricultural
work is in the special fields where
that work is performed on a COM
mercial basis. For example, the
present day farmer must be able to
run and take care of more and more
complicated machines as the years
go by. This requires considerable
special knowledge. He must know
how to take care of animal disorders.
He must know how to feed to adj
vantage. Fruit needs particular
care, etc.
The School of Educational Agricul-
ture of the River Falls Normal
School has made arrangements to
send the men who are preparing to
teach agriculture to the great Case
plant in Racine to work in the as
sembling and testing departments of
tractors, threshers, autos, binders,
etc., for two months. They
are under instruction by special
foremen in the plant. They attend
night school. They more than earn
their way. The same sort of ar
rangement is made with veterinary
barns, dairy companies, nurseries,
etc. Three men are at work in RAJ
cine. Others are waiting to go. We
believe in taking the school to the in
dustry and not in bringing the in
dustry to the school.

River Falls Loses
to Stevens Point

River Falls was defeated by Stew
ems Point last Friday night by the
narrow margin of four points.
Although River Falls played right
up to to the Point" all through the
game, they were worried by t h e
giant men that Stevens Point put on
the floor and thus missed m any
goals. 1t was rather discouraging
game at times because the locals
certainly had bad luck with about
per cent of their shots. The b al
would frequently bound around on
the basket and then fall on t h
wrong side for us. Nevertheless
the locals made the Point" work
hard, and with any kind of luck at
all, would have scored over Stevens
Point The first half ended w h
Stevens Point ON the long end of
ID to 9 scores
In the second half Stevens Point
took squirt and ran the score up to
20 to 9 before our boys could stop
them. The "Falls" took a brace
here keeping the Point" worried
all along. The locals brought the
score up to within four points of
their rivals score. Had they had a
minute or two more ofplay the story
might have been different. I h e

strong game at guard, and it can

which kept them from scoring as
they have been. Megorden played
a good fast game. HaWley furnish

middle of the large floor.
Hertz and Smith were the stars of

fountains.
All dealers here are found willing
and anxious to meet the require
ments of the law, and | predict that
all these establishments will be in
good condition in short time. In
4 number of cases improvements are
already planned.
Grocers, bakers and confectioners
must be more careful to pro e
foods from dust. Candies, bakery
goods, lard, butter, honey. dried
fruits, etc., should be covered to
keep dust and contamination from
getting to them. 1t is impossible to
keep dust from communicating these
foods unless they are covered.
EGG DEALERS AND EGG PRODUCERS
CAUTIOUS
The Wisconsin law forbids the
sale or offering for sale of eggs I'M
fit for human food are ordinarily
classed as (a) black rots; (b) mixed
rots; (c) oddled eggs; I'D blood
ringed eggs; (e) stock yolk eggs;
(f) mold spotted eggs; a n d (g)
badly musted eggs.
Dealers should candle all eggs re-
ceived, and at the time they are re-
ceived. Buy on the loss off" basis,
that is pay for the good ones only.
Return the bad ones. The loss should
be placed upon the producer, who
must learn to produce and handle
eggs so that loss is almost eliminat-
ed. y
If Wisconsin farmers will observe
the suggestions given on the large
egg posters pasted in all grocery
stores, they will save about $1,000
100000 annually.
At this time Of great food short
age it is every farmers duty to pre-
vent this waste. This is not only
good patriotism but good business.
Consider your egg business more
than a mere side issue, and you and
every consumer will be benefited.
The Dairy and Food Commission
err, Mr.. Meigle has for the past two
years carried on quite an education
al campaign throughout this state
for the purpos of acquainting
farmers and dealers with the law,
and also to improve our general egg
situation. Wherever educational
means have no effect, prosecution
will be started.
1t is sheer folly and a waste of
time and money for the farmer to

money for the merchant to pass
them on and pay for handling and
transportation.
If the egg dealer does not candle
them, they get to h consumer
eventually, who has to stand h
loss, on all bad eggs replaced, and
all because the eggs were not candl-
ed at the source Of the channel of
trade, namely the grocery store or
other dealer receiving the eggs from
the producer.

House Of Representatives,
Wash d. c.,
Feb. s, 1918.
Hon. Newton D. Baker,
Sec. of War,
Ny dear Mr.. Secretary:
News was received yesterday OF
the torpedoing of the Tusania and
the Aurania. Notice of grave dan
ger from submarines given out by
the War Department some days ago,
brought quick veritication. A calm
sea, daylight and poorly directed
shot probably saved two thousand
soldiers from dying like rats in a
trap. A great calamity like the sink
ing of a troop ship is not needed to
arouse the people who are ready to
fght-but who want that chance. |
speak for the thousands of Wisconsin
troops at Camp Merritt and many
thousands of relatives and friends at
home who ask that reasonably safe
transit ACROSS the sea be furnished
these men. Unless that can be had,
responsibility is heavy with those
who direct shipments.
| fully understand h e demands
of military necessity. | served
a full five ye al s. enlistment
in the regular army as youth, and
afterWard eleven years in the Wis
consin Northumberland with officers
on the sunken Tuscania and others
now at Camp Merritt. Ny only son,
after four years military school
training, is with Wisconsin troops at
Camp Merritt ready to sail at any
time. We are soldiers and ours not
to question commands or to reason
why, but | believe another serious
troop ship disaster at this time will
destroy confidence in the judgment
of those who would be held respon-
sible for needless loss.
Trusting that you may be govern
ed by great wisdom in these hours
Of trial n d responsibilities, n d
that nothing will be left undone
looking to the protection Of our boys
on the sea, l am very sincerely
yours.
James A. Frear.
To this letter the following reply
was received from the Secretary of
war.
War Dep. Wash Dc
February 8, 1918.
My dear Mr.. Frear: | have lust
received your letter of the 9Th.
am sure you know without my say
ing it, that from the day the first
American soldier left our shores for
France | have felt the burden of the
responsibility for their conduct at
sea, and believe every safeguard
which human ingenuity and fore
thought can devise has been thrown
around those boys.
Fortunately the Tuscania tragedy
did not mount up to the navy pro-
portions which the first news SEEM
ed to indicate; and yet it is heavy
enough to be grief to the whole
country. The Navy and Army are
cooperating in this matter perfectly
and every suggestion made by either
is at once embraced by the other if
it looks to greater safetyand greater
