Madison, Wis.-The corn earworm
was the most serious Wisconsin pest
this fall, according to a report submit
ted today to the U. S. Beureau of En-
tomology by DIR. S. B. Fracker, of the
state department of agriculture. Late
sweet corn, popcorn, field corn and to-
matoes were attacked in all the south
ern counties and letters poured in to
the agricultural Offices asking how to
control the pest.
This worm is a common one in the
central states but has never done as
much damage in Wisconsin before.
1t eats corn silk and bores into the ear
consumes tomato fruit, and at Milwau-
kee was found boring into rosebuds.
busting corn silk with powdered ar
senate of lead is often used to reduce
the injury to corn.
Other unusual injurious insect pests
named in this months report were:
Apple maggot attacking fruit in the
central counties; potato leafhopper,
which caused extensive losses to pota-
to growers; white grubs, more numer-
Gus than usual in the southwestern
counties and strawberry rootworm, re-
ported as serious in the everbearnig
strawberry sections of the state, es-
pecially Sank and Monroe counties.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Edperton Wis Nov II 1921


While the buying movement of 1921
tobacco, started so auspiciousyl some
three weeks ago in the northern val
leys, seems to have died down after Sc
curing a few hundred acres of leaf, the
activity in 1920 leaf in the bundle has
been rather more brisk during the last
couple of weeks than for some time
past. Not only are the stemmers TAX
ing whatever comes their way, but
number of buyers fcigar leaf have
secured quite few crops, some of
them of considerable size. The price
has also stiffened somewhat, running
to 8 cents at the top.
This new interest in the 1920 crop
on the part of leaf packers has put
some optimism into the dropping spir-
it's of the growers who have been slit
ing with the old tobacco on their hands
and at the first good damp expect to
strip the new crop and bundle it ready
for the buyer. There is a goodly sized
lot of the 1920 yet scattered through
the southern section and held on the
farms; just how much is pretty diff
cult to say, as the seeping process has
been going on pretty steadily all fall,
but it is safe to say that tobacco from
an acreage running into five figures is
still available in first hands.
The filler prices offered and Sc, on
the sales made of northern 1921 leaf,
has started anumber of growers think
ing. And the buyers may find that
when the tobacco is in the bundle this
year, all filters, shorts and rags pretty
well removed, and only true binder
lengths placed in the bundles offered
the cigar leaf packers who are in the
field. The growers will then take their
own chances on the shorts and dispose
of it to concerns who are looking for
that type of tobacc. The Reporter
|called attention to the wisdom of such
ia plan several weeks ago. If it is car
ried out conscientiously by the major
ity of growers, it is pretty certain to
be apnroved of by the packers, and the
grower will then know how much bind
er tobacco he has to ask binder price
for. While this method is not new to
the growers, it has not been so gener-
ally adopted as the case may prove to
be this year.

A GHOST PARTY
FOR HALLOWEEN

A ghost party; It's just the thing
for busy people who haven't much
time to make costumes.
Send little invitations written in
black ink on gray paper telling your
friends that you'll expect them to
convene with and be one of the no.
tables at your home on a certain
evening and at a certain hour which
you will set. Ask each guest to wear
a gray domino and to wear or carry,
something suggestive OF the ghost
which he is to be.
There need be only one really
painstaking made costume for the
whole party and that will be the out
fit of the little page who will dis
tribute the witches pencils and pa
pers and insist in other ways.
Her frock should be of yellow
crepe paper with a tall pointed cap.
Buy the regular Halloween paper
which has COLLINS. and elves dane
ing along the border. Make a reg
ular little Mother Hubbard from the
neck and gather 1t into a full skirt
at the waist. Be sure that the fan
ciful border is at the hem of the
shirt and at the head band of the
cap. She must veal yellow stock
ings and sandals which you can
make of yellow silk with long toes
| stuffed and caught back to the up
per part of the shoe with a yellow
thread which will be practically in
visible.
After the guests have arrived
| they will be conducted by the little
page, who keeps her finger TO heI
mouth as a request for silence to a
room with huge Silence signs hune
about. Then the page, from the
pumpkin which she carries Will dis
tribute pencils and paper to each
guest, telling them to write down
the names of as many of the ghosts
present as they know.
There will be Shakespeare with a
huge white crepe paper run around
his neck; Diogenes. carrying a
pumpkin lantern and searching ev-
ery face; Columbus with a map in
his hand: Sir Walter Raleigh and
Queen Elizabeth in the famous pool
act.
OF course. the person who guesses
the most ghosts correctly VIII De

which you use for this party lighted
with candles-it adds much to the
effect.

PALATABLE DISHES
MADE FROM RICE

Comparatively few women realize
the possibilities of rice as a vegeta-
BILE. Properly prepared 1t is deli
cious to serve in place of potatoes.
In one-dish meals rice is both more
economical and nourishing than po-
tatoes.
When used as a substitute for po-
tatoes, the simplest way of serving 1t
is best.
Boiled Rice
One cup rice, 2 teaspoons salt. z
quarts boiling water. 2 tablespoons
butter.
Wash rice in several waters. rub
bling through hands. Drain and>add
slowly to the boiling water. Add so
slowly that the bubbling does not
stop. Shake the pan to prevent rice
from sticking. Boil about 20 min
utes or until the rice is tender. The
freshness of the rice has much to do
with the length of time required to
cook it. When rice is tender drain
through a sieve. AS soon as the
water in which it was cooked stops
dripping, pour boiling water through
rice. Drain. Melt butter in a sauce
pan, add rice and shake over the
fire. Then cover and put in a slow
oven for five minutes. This fiuffs
the rice and makes each kernel dry.
The salt should be added to the boil
ing water before the rice is put in.
Rice boiled in this way is not the
sticky lump which is unpalatable.
Rice Patty Cakes
One-half cup rice. l quart boiling
water, IL teaspoons salt, 1 table,
spoon butter. u cup milk. fine sifted
cracker crumbs or flour.
Add salt to boiling water. Add
rice slowly. Boil until tender. Drain
and pour over boiling water. Drain,
Add butter and milk and stir over
fire till rather smooth and firm. Let
cool a few minutes. Shape into little
| fiat cakes with hands, roll in crumbs
or -four and fry in a frying pan in
bacon fat. These may be made with
leftover rice.
Rice Croquettes
One-half cup rice, 1R teaspoons
salt, 1 quart boiling water, 1 table,
| spoon butter, . tablespoons milk, ]
egg.
Cook rice as in preceding recipe,
| Add butter, milk and egg. Cook and
| stir a few minutes longer. Turn out
| on a platter to cool. Shape with
the hands into little cones. roll IN
| crumbs, dip in an egg slightly beat
en- with / tablespoon milk. roll again
