SAYS WISCONSIN
LEADS In ONIONS.


According to statement recently
made by R. E. Caughn, of the plant
and pathology department Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, Racine, Kenosha
and Milwaukee counties are the prin
cipal onion producing counties in the
state of Wisconsin.
"Although we often read about the
enormous yields of onions in other
states, such reports must be taken with
grain of SALT" said Mr.. Vaughn, who
is aiding the onion growers to keep
their fields and crops free from disease.
Wisconsin fields compare favorably
with them. 1t is not uncommon, for
onion growers in Kenosha county to
get as high as 900 bushels to the acre.
Most Of the onions grown in Kenosha
county, and in fact in all parts of Wis
consin, are for commercial purposes and
are of Red Weatherfeld variety. Fully
two thirds of the total yield is market
ed through st. Louis to the southwest,
at time when that market is prac-
tically free from onions. Wisconsin
produced 100000 bushels in 1919.
One of the heaviest onion growers
in Kenosha county stated recently that
more acres were planted to onions last
year than ever before, but owing to
the drouth and other weather condi-
tions, the crop fell short of some pre-
vious years. was his opinion that
the acreage this year will esual, if not
surpass that of 1919
Information is received that Brown
and Outage.N;e counties are rapidly
pushing to the front as truck growing
sections, and they promise to become
big factors in the onion industry. A
future development in onions is also
seen in the area in central Wisconsin
where marsh soils are being reclaimed
and put under the pillow.

Ashland Goes Over the Top
Ahead of Kenosha in State
Wide Drive for Recruits
for National Guard.
ASHLAND CO. IS COMPLETE
Ashland Gets Last Recruit on Thursday
-Kenosha is Listed Among the Com
panies Where Large Number of Re-
cruits Have Been Gained Lately.

Kenosha lost the honor Of being the
first company of the Wisconsin Nation
al Guard to go "oyer the topp in the
present recruiting campaign. This was
evidenced this morning when des-
patch from 1t. Col. Byron Beveridge at
Madison declared that Ashland had
the first machine gun company to go
over the top in the campaign Cap
tain Thorsen of Ashland, reported
Thursday that his last recruit had
been signed and that he was ready to
have his unit mustered in.
Kenosha remains among the other
companies that are within striking dis
lance of the top, but in order for this
city to rank with the leaders, recruits
viii have to be secured this week to
bring the total up to ninety men.
Three recruits were added to the honor
roll Thursday evening giving the Ke-
nosha company a total Of tythree.
The recruiting office at the Red Cross
headquarters will be open each even
ing this week with an officer in charge
to receive enlstments.
Kenosha Must Hurry.
Kenosha's actual status in the Wis
consin National Guard standing is
shown by comparison with the situa-
tion in other cities Before the present
drive started fourteen cities had al
ready organized units and Ashland is
the fifteenth to qualify. Of those in
striking distance of the ninety men
necessary for unit, Phillips leads
with So already listed. The others are
listed as follows: Monroe, So; Apple
ton, "a; Menomonee, 81; Ladysmith
lacks only seven men to complete its
cavalry unit and Whitewater and
Kenosha are about tied for next place
for artillery units.
Kenoshans Still Optimistic
Officers in charge of the recruiting
campaign in Kenosha are still optimis-
tic enough to believe that Kenosha will
go over the top before the present drive
is ended. During the week numerous
recruits have been found and each one
of them is expected to attract other
men into the service. Overseas men
have shown real interest in the cam
paign and their enlistment has made
it certain that the company will have
numerous able Instructors in military
practices.

BUSINESS MEN COMPLAIN
MAIN STREET SWTTCHIN
Say That There Is Too Much Time Lost
by Reason Of the Monopoly of the
Crossing by the Train Crew.

Whether Or not business men going
about the city in automobiles and pc
destrians have any rights which men
are under any obligations to notice in
the slightest degree, is question
which is just now agitating the minds
of the aforesaid business men and pc
destrians
The specific thing that is just now
worrying the people who have to cross
the Main street bridge is the length of
time and the number of times every
day they are held up at this crossing
while the railroad crew is switching
back and forth and holding up traffic.
One business man whose place Of bust
ness is on the north side, in speaking
about the matter to the News this
morning, complained of the way per-
sons who have occasion to go from one
side of the river to the other are treat
ed all Of the time but on Thursday in
particular.
This man claims that the biggest
part of his time on Thursday was spent
in waiting to cross the tracks just
south of the bridge while the train
crew was taking its time to switch its
cars. At one time, he said, there were
two street cars held up together with
long line of automobiles and pedestri-
ans. Att last, after a long wait, the
watchman raised the gates long enough
for the two street cars to get by and

by Two Counties Today.

eighty per cent. of the tuberculosis
in children comes from the milk" said
S. D. Bullock, of the bureau of animal
industry Of the agricultural department
of the University of Wisconsin before
a meeting of farmers, dairymen and
live stock men in the county court room
this morning. "And," continued the
speaker, "where the skim milk is fed
to the hogs large percentage of the
tuberculosis in the hogs comes from
the milk. The speaker mentioned in
stances where $3.50 of hog tuberculosis
came from being fed skim milk from a
herd of cattle affected with tubercu-
lOsis.
The meeting was for the purpose of
effecting an organization of the Hol-'
stein Fresian breeders of Kenosha and
Racine counties A number of cattle
raisers were present from both counties
and at the morning session constitu-
ton was adopted which provided for
the officers and regulations by which
the organization should be conducted.
The organization shall be known as the
Racine-Kenosha Holstein -Fresian Breed
ers Association. The election of officers
of tn organization took place this af-
ternOon.
Bullock Delivers Address.
The organization was preceded by
an address by Mr.. Bullock in which he
showed the benefits to be gained by
the farmers individually and the com
munity at large by the keeping Of pure
bred stock only and the detriment to
them by handling scrub stock.
He also showed the advantage to the
stock breeders by having an organiza-
ton and cooperation especially in the
matter of having stock sales in which
the farmers could all unite and have
a bunch of stock for sale at given
time and place which would induce the
big buyers to attend when they would
mot do so if each went to it alone.
Officers Elected.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected at the afternoon session of the
Racine-Kenosha County Holstein- Fres-
ian Breeders Association They are:
President, G. E. Adams, of Racine;
secretary treasurer, George Vincent, of

Presents Miscarriage Of Law.

"If no civil liability was attached to
a violation of the law by employers I'M
der the compensation act, who consti-
tute the bulk of the employers of per-
nit age in this state, then a part at
least of the purposes of the child labor
law would miscarry,' says Justice Vim
je. cit was no doubt a consideration
of those facts that induced the legisla-
ture to permit injuries to minors of
permit age employed without a permit,
in direct violation Of the law, to be
compensated under the workmen s COM
pensation act upon condition that
treble compensation should be paid It
was within the legislative field to pre-
scribe reasonable conditions for per-
uniting injuries under such employ
ments to be so compensated. Condi-
tions thus prescribed cannot be set
aside by courts unless SO severe as to
be confscatory, or to amount to a de-
NAL of due process of law. The condi-
tion in question does not come within
either class and must be held lawful.
We therefore conclude that the amend
ment to the law is constitutional and
that the judgment must be affirmed. -

Not a New Order.

wide open to the boys i'll khaki who
followed the flag in the last war. It
was organized March 81, 1888, and in
corporated in 1889 and is the only
military order that congress has rec
ognized by granting permission to wear
the official badge or button on the uni
form of the soldier or sailor in service.

The state officials are anxious to Sc
cure an organization of the order in
Kenosha and are seeking to find live
ex-service man to take up the work of
such an organization. They have sew
eral men under consideration and it is
possible that the initial steps towards
forming branch of the order will be
taken in a very short time.
The officials were emphatic in stat
ing that the order would not in the
least interfere with any of the military
orders now established in Kenosha and
that like them it refused to discuss
matters of politics or religion or to be
drawn into local or national political
questions.
