Wisconsin tobacco. Wisconsin tobacco
is sent from the state labeled binders"

ng beaten out of thousands Of dollars
Zach year because of an improper grad
ing of Wisconsin's products, the joint
finance committee of the legislature
was told by C. M. Pulley, representing
the tobacco growers Of the state. wis
consin tobacco Is the only leaf grown
N this country having a neutral fla
vOr," Pulley told the committee men,
Oers. 'It is therefore mixed with Ha-
vana and Porto Rico tobacco and sold
rs foreign product. Our short tobacco
IS resweated until it becomes dark and
heavy and then passes onto the market
ms a foreign tobacco. The tobacco
grower sells Wisconsin tobacco, but the
middleman sells Wisconsin tobacco as
foreign tobacco and gets the higher
price" The tobacco growers want a
Obacco division added to the division
# markets. They have asked the legis-
ature for an expert to assist them in
marketing their product. Buyers tell
The Wisconsin growers they cannot
raise wrapper tobacco here" Pulley
said. "They say that Connecticut is
the only state in the Union that can
produce this variety. Yet Wisconsin
wrappers are sold on the general mar
let In the East there are quotations
IN Wisconsin wrappers, yet none are
old by growers in this state. All our
tobacco is sold as binders at 30 cents
per pound. Wrappers bring $3.50 per

There will be no change in the ap-
preparations in the form of state aid
to the county fairs at this session of
the Wisconsin legislature After long
debate in the assembly it killed the
AtchersOn bill on this subject. Before

ton of Assemblyman Anton Holly,
Kewaunee, the assembly attached the
amendment which would nave reduced
the amount of state aid from 50 per
cent Of the premiums to 40 per cent of
the premiums. Holly explained that
this would save the state approximate
ly $4,000 annually. After this amend
ment was attached the entire assem-
bly,. with one exception, voted to kill

checked up on their theory as to the
cause of scald.
Scald, it has been found, can be
entirely prevented by storing apples
in oiled (not waxed) wrappers. A
good quality of oiled wrapper can be
prepared by hand, but the cost of
labor is to great. The oiled paper
on the market in 1920 had been pre-
pared for other purposes and was too
heavy for convenient use, but manu-
facturers are now preparing lighter
weight oiled papers for the 1921 crop.
Ventilation has also been proven to
be a remedy for apple scald, but it
has found extremely difficult to secure
under commercial cold-storage condi-
tions.

more generous and loyal in their sup

Calls Chesterton
Unreasoning Jew Batter

Gilbert K. Chesterton was character.
ICED as a Jew batter by Rabbi Samuel
schul1nan yesterday. when he discussed
the English writer's book, The New
Jerusalem, in his sermon at Temple
BETHEL. He said in part:
This work is brilliant book dis
figured by constitutional Jew batting
which in its disgracefulness is simply
dishearrening. 1t is one of those books
which, because Of the magnificent powers
Of ths writer, 10 the most harm, for it
is thoroughly vitiated by unreasoning
and immoral persecution of the Jew.
"Chesterton cannot tolerate the
thought of man who may have a drop
of Semitic blood in his veins. Never
have l read book that is so unfair to
the Jew. His concentrations about Jews
are that they. are usurers and traitors,
yet the masses Of the Jews are in dire
poverty.
"Chesterton does not believe a Jew
can love his country. He only admits
they can be good citizens. He says no
Jew could die for his country. He doubts
that if England had been threatened
with destruction Disraeh would have re-
manned with her. According to him, a
Jew is 3 stranger in a strange land.
He is consumed with jealousy. He thinks
the rise Of man like the Earl of Read
ing Is injurious to his country"
