HOPPERs ARE COMING ENTOMOL.
OGISTS WARN
Watch out

Mr.. Grasshopper may be a numer-
GUS and unpopular visitor on Wiscon-
sin farms this year, warns the econ
omic entomologists at the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture.
The young grasshOppers are already
appearing in large numbers and every
thing points to an epidemic of these
pests this year. Grasshoppers have
not caused serious losses in the state
in the past but unless preventative
measures are taken this year, serious
crop losses may follow
"POisened bait is the best means to
get rid of grasshoppers," declares C.
j. Fluke, of the agricultural college.
Take 25 pounds of bran, alfalfa meal
or midlings; l pound of paris green
or white arsenic; quarts of low
grade molasses; 6 lemons or oranges.
and gallons of water.
Mix the paris green and bran to-
gether thoroughly while dry. Dilute
the molasses with the water and add
the lemons finely chopped. Stir the
wet mixture into the bran and paris
green. Add just enough water to make
the bait crumbly but not sloppy.
"Schatter the bait over the ground
broadcast in the evening or early in
the morning using from to Z pounds
to the acre"

Manager-LeaVes This Morning

Mr. Minard Fredrickson, who for
several years past has been sales and
advertising manager for the Wiscon-
sin Valley Electric company in this
city, left for Wausau this morning
where he will act as buying manager
for the same company in that city.
1t is sacrifice to the local office to
lose a man so efficient as Mr.. Fred
rickSon, but circumstances were
turned to his advantage, offering him a
fine opportunity for much develop
ment which he deemed, after due
consideration, wise to accept. He has
not accepted the position permanent
ly as yet, but has negotiated terms
with that Office, to the effect that he
is privileged to return after a three
weeks period of his new work, in
which time he will have an opportun-
ity to decide whether or not he fully
enjoys the work, which is the essen
tial thing in success, both for the
company and himself. There is not
the slightest doubt that he will remain
at Wausau, because of the one great
characteristic that Mr.. Fredrickson
possesses, that of quick adaptability
His many friends wish him much
success in his new work.-Merrill

ESTIMATES SHOW GAIN IN
QUALITY POTATO CROP

Wisconsin will produce in 1920,
10000 bushels of certified seed nota-
toes on 10000 selected acres, accord
ing to estimates made by John W.
Brann who has charge or the inspec-
ton work. This will be an increase
of 25,OO0 bushels over last years pro-
duction.
In 1919 there were 275 growers OF
certified seed potatoes and of the 250,-
600 bushels inspected, 125,000 bushels
were accepted for certif1cation. This
year there are 1926 growers and it is
expected that fully 10000 bushels
will be certified.
Certified seed potatoes are a big
cash crop with many farmers, some
OF them growing as many as $50 to
200 acres in a single season. The
Rural New Yorker and Irish Cobbler
are the varieties most commonly
grown.
Growers plant seed which has been
certlhed the previous season. The
fields, are inspected during the sum-
mer and all foreign varieties are
weeded out. After harvest the pota-
toes are given a bin inspection to
make sure that they are true to type
and are not mixed with other varie-
ties.

The Murray -Mylrea company is
working on large order of tractor
part castings for the Allis-C Chalmers
company of Milwaukee. 1t will take
about a year to fill the order at the
present rate of manufacture. Cast
ings are being poured every other day,
but if enough labor could be secured
casting would be done every day. The
company now has a supply of pig iron
on hand sufficient for about twelve
months demands. Difficulty has been
experienced in securing coke, but a
supply was obtained recently
The manufacture of drill presses
and grinding machines continues. A
new turret lathe was installed a short
time ago. This is a rapid production
machine, making three or four cuts at
a time whereas an ordinary lathe
makes only one. The time on some
work has been cut from 21a hours to
less than an hour.-Antigo Journal.

HOT WEATHER
Summer Jumped In All at Once and
All SWeltered

The first of the past week, hot
weather commenced to manifest it
self and Tuesday. June s, was a sure
summers day. Wednesday mercury
rushed up to "a and the lowest mark
touched during the night was 81, so
we had some real weather. We seldom
have much above 80 degrees during
the summer. We can bank on not
having many hotter days than on We'd
nesday-though We may have many
just as warm.
1t caught our people unawares
with their semi-heavy clothing on. 1t
was what you'd call "just sweltering"
Wednesday and it sweltered all night.
Thursday up to noon, there was a lit
tie breeze and very warm. In the af-
ternoon it clouded up, there were NUT
terings of thunder and cooler and the
rain fell all night, giving the earth
thorough soaking. 1t was just what
We needed to help out the crop situa-
ton. The rain continued to fall all
day, at intervals, on Friday and one
can just hear the crops growing.

THE STATE

The Badger State Advancement as
sociation of the Blind, an association
composed entirely of blind or par
TALLY blind residents of this state, has
Just been granted a charter by the
State of Wisconsin.

which will be conducted along the
lines Of the famous lighthouse in Chi
cago. where all blind will be well
come to learn a trade and make a
living wage.

WHAT A CIGAR STUB MAY Do

The barn of NJ Pospychala of the
town of Cassel was endangered Sun
day forenoon by burning cigar stub
that had been left in the milk wagon.
When one of the boys returned from
the cheese factory in the morning he
left his cigar on the seat outside and
hitched the team onto the family
carriage to drive to church and pushed
the milk wagon into the barn after
wards. He probably forgot his cigar
and when the family returned from
church they found the barn full of
smoke. The cigar had set the blanket
afire that was in the buggy, the buggy
was partly damaged by the fire and
the barn floor was just about beginn-
ing TO burn when the fire was dis
covered.-Marathon Times.

The big dam at the foot of the falls
which the Wisconsin Valley Electric
company is constructing, is progress
ing rapidly. Concrete is now being
poured. The water has been turned
so as to almost wholly pass through
the slough. The recent rains may
raise the river to a height which may
somewhat impede operations. The
changes going on in the river below
the falls, will soon so change things
that the oldest settlers will not rec
ogniZe it as Big Bull Falls.
