FIGHT ON CATTLE
TICK UNDER WAY

Washington, Feb. 9.-The cattle
tick eradication forces of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the cooperating State agencies
are starting out this year to do
number things, among which is
driving the cattle parasite from
large number of square miles than
ever were cleaned out in any previous
year. As one way of brining that re-
suit they have adopter and intend to
follow the slogan:
i kill That Seed Tick in March,
There is only one effective way Of
killing the tick. That is told in q
poster, soon to be placed in every
tick-infested region, and saying in let
tiers that even tick might read:
dip That Tick in March"
The reason for killing the seed tick
in March is amazing simple. Two ticks
in March, allowed to live and prosper,
mean thousands, at least, in June, and
Millions soon afterward. Therefore, a
tick killed in March means thousands
less in June, and millions less in late
summer.
Consequently, the dipping watts are
going to get in action this year ear
lier than usual.
The seed ticks, Matched from the
eggs laid the previous fall, begin to
get active when the warm days come
in March. If allowed to five, they
suck cattle blood unit lthey are full
! grown. Then the adult female tick
having gorged herself on cattle blood
and transformed it into eggs, lays
thousands of eggs which develop into
seed ticks. This is repeated over ane
over.
One female tick shortly after sh,
herself has left the egg stage. Ne
comes able to lay from 5000 to 500
eggs at one sitting. These eggs hatcl
into seed ticks, and each female, il
her turn, lays from 5000 to 500,
eggs. So it goes on. Is it any won
der that a tick allowed to live mean
millions later?
Don't share your milk, and beef,
say the antitick fighters, with tn
many thousands Of cattle ticks tn
spring from one seed tick if it is al
lowed to mature. One-third Of you
beef, milk and butter will be waste
if you don't kill that seed tic kearl,
'"The earilv start stops the ticl
= dip that tick in march,"

Get The Garden Ready.

Clean off the garden, burn the re-
fuse matter in order to help kill In
sects and plant diseases and mend
the fences so as to keep out the
chickens and rabbits before regular
field work begins. Make plans for a
garden that will furnish green veg
.etables throughout the season. Place
your order for the years supply OF
seed right away.

February is hard month on coun-
try roads. Two thirds of the bad
places could often be repaired by a
few minutes work at the right time.
Do not wait for the officials to do
these little jobs. Ten minutes work

to fix later on. Drainage is the first

next. Write to the Extension Division,

Help ) Farm Wife.

This is good time to split enough
wood for cooking purposes to last all
summer. Fix up the porch and the
fence around the house. Get flower
beds ready for the front yard and
build plank walks around the house
that will be a comfort and will help
keep the house clean.

Test For termination.

Maximum profits cannot be made
with poor stands. Cottonseed low in
termination power is certain to pro-
duce poor stands and many weak
plants. Cottonseed should be tested.
Remember preparation, fertilization,
planting and cultivation costs as much
for the poor stand as for the good
stand.

SEED TREATMENT
FOR DAT SMUT

(By Joel Lambert, County Agent.)
The formation treatment for oat
smut is the most practical method for
controlling this disease. The : forma-
ton treatment may be applied in one
or two ways, by the wet method or
the dry method, as follows:
Wet Method.
Use a dilute solution of formation,
1 pit. of 40 f.:rcent commercial solu-
ton in 40 ga1.5ns of water or l pound
of dry formation in so gallons of wa
ter. This is sprayed over the grain at
about the rate of l gallon to the
bushel and the grain and then stirred
until it is all thoroughly wet. It is
then covered with heavy blankets or
canvass for or IL hours, after which
it is spread out thinly and dried, as
soon as it will run through the drills
it may be planted.
Dry Method.
Use l pint of 40 percent formatin
solution in l pint of water to treat so
bushels of grain. This makes one
quart for so bushels. The grain
should be shandled from one pile to
another, and the formatin sprinkled
through it : is evenly as possible. The
grain should then be closely cornered
with blankets or canvass for 5 or {
hours. The grain is then ready to
plant at once as it is. dry.

E. P. McFetridge, Baraboo, Is Glad
to Have His Priority Order ON
File---Wants Delivery Soon

Wisconsin's first pleasure air ear
has been purchased by E. P. McFet-
ridge, Baraboo, we'll known manufac-
turer. His contract, calling for
Packard-Lepere two-seated cruiser
type of plane, equipped with Liberty
motor, has been completed with the
Packard Automobile Co., Milwaukee.
His deposit check gives him priority
order for the first plane for pleasure
flying to be delivered in this state.
What am l going to do with an air
plane? What do you suppose I'm go
ing to do with it?" rejoined Mr.. Nc
Fetridge to the Milwaukee Journals
inquiry over the telephone. "I'm go
ing to haul little coal and wood over
these hills. I've revelled in the won
derful panorama at Devils lake and
the Dells of the Wisconsin, on foot, in
launch and automobile, and now I'm
going to see it from the clouds. Ex-
pensive luxury? Perhaps, but for one
who loves the big outdoors, it's worth
while. l haven't got the machine yet
but hope delivery will be made soon."
The McFetridge family plane will
have about 40 horsepower to drive
it fast enough to cross the state in
an hour and a half. 1t will cost $12.-
900 to $4,000.

1t will be seen the total indebted
ness of the association is $7,5S1.25. Aft
er the reports had been given, Secre-
tary Pelton made a statement, telling
how the amount had crept higher each
year The society was incorporated in
1899 and Mr. Pelton became the secre-
tary in 1900, there being a debt at that
time of about $4,000. This was re-
duced to $4,000, then the grandstand
was taken over at cost Of about $500,
more land was purchased, Eighth street
was paved at q cost of several hun
dred dollars, the wind blew down the
grandstand, resulting in loss OF about
$1,000; a fence on three sides cost
$500, a we'll was drilled, which took
S1OO: the stock and horse barns ate
up 81 200 more, sanitary closets made
a bill Of $500, and other improvements
required cash. In 1915 the society was
able to pay 5000 on the debt, and in
1918 the weather and exhibit train
reduced the attendance.
After the fair this year it was nee
essary to take some of the money to
pay on the Indebtedness, and the Off
GERS gave their personal note for ST.
900 in order to pay premiums and
claims.
Mr.. Pelton then read the law which
says that if fair association does
not pay the stock can be assessed and
if the holders do no come forth with
the coin the stock can be sold. The
members were asked whether the stock
should be assessed-increased in value
or let the fair come to an end.
Former Assemblyman George Car
penter jumped to his feet and said the
association must have money, and he
was heartily in favor of assessing
the stock $40 per share.
The secretary stated the property
was worth about $4,000, and the debt
was $7,581.25.
BY a Longtime Member
George e. McGilvra stated the Off
GERS should not be blamed for the in
debtedness. He said there were too
many knockers, that the officers were
all right. If they were not as they
should be, he explained, Others could
be elected, but he advised against
trading horses while in deep water.
Others who discussed the matter
were T. F. Risley, B. n. Robinson, who
holds seven shares, G. W. Andrews
and G. w. Davies.
Seventy members were present,
and the vote to increase the stock $lO
a share, making them worth $50 eacn,
was voted unanimously. Those who
do not pay their assessment will lose
their shares by having them sold.
i 1t was decided to allow clerical hire
for the secretary and treasurer during
the fair.
