Letter from ". ather Bureau.

The following letter received from
the meteorological of the U. w. branch
of the weather bureau il of interest to
the public.
The Weather Bureau is now organic
ing its usual autumn campaign to in
form tobacco growers of impending
frost, so that if necessary they may
take action to save their crops.
The frost warnings are sent out by
telegraph from the District Forecast
Center at Chicago to twenty-eight dis
tributors in all parts of the state where
tobacco is grown. A complete list of
these distributors is enclosed.
Tobacco growers who wish to be
warned should communicate with the
nearest distributor and let him know
how to reach them quickly, as it is
sometimes impossible to give warning
more than Is to "a hours in advance of
a frost or freeze. If service by long
distance telephone or by telegraph is
necessary the grower will have to guar
antee the tolls, since the limited funds
available from the u. S. treasury are
all applied to the telegraphing to the
distributors.
1t is very important that growers get
the exact text of the official warnings.
They should especially beware of cut
ting unripe tobacco on vague rumors
of frost.
l notice in the reprint of your weekly
story in the Wisconsin State Journal,
that you have the idea that frost comes
in periods. This idea is not supported
by the statistics which are now avail
able for all over the United States.
The chance for frost increases steadily,
and not by jerks, as winter comes on.
Our cool spells in fall come in waves,
it is true, but these waves do not spec
ialize with reference to any date or
group of dates.
Yours very truly,
Eric r. Miller,
Meterologist.

..Edgerton Wins from Waterloo.

The Waterloo nine were defeated by
the Highway Trailers at Athletic park
Sunday by score of to 0 in one of
the best and fastest games played on
the home lot this season. Beltz pitched
alright ball all the way through, strik-
ing out Is and allowing but four hits,
two of which were scratch hits. Doer-
ing for Waterloo pitched great ball
also, but the locals punched hits when
they were needed.
The feature of the game came IN
the eighth inning when, with sehler on
first, Klecker hit line drive between
first and second, which Stuvengen
knocked down and fell on his stomach,
from which position he threw to Tay-
lor, forcing Gehler at the keystone
sack
The Trailers showed one run across
in the third frame on single by Tay-
lor and double by Stuvengen. Two
more were added in the fifth on a base
on balls to Whitley, single by Taylor
and Maragi's triple.

The Wisconsin dairymen who came
together at Madison August Ii did not
form the Zone big union" idea advo-
Gated by certain leaders of the Equity
body. Harmony was obtained on the
basis of maintaining the commodity or
CARNATIONS such as the cheese, butter,
condensed milk and other groups now
in operation in the state, and these
finally federated for cooperative meas
ures under the general assistance and
support of the state Department of
Markets. Says Hoard's Dairyman,
Sept. 2:
"It is the plan in Wisconsin to
strengthen the local institutions which
are managed by those directly interest
ed in them. These institutions then
ere to be federated into groups on
commodity basis that they may market
their products comparatively. Wiscon-
sin has more than 5000 institutions
which are receiving milk and manufac-
turing it either into butter, cheese or
condensed milk, or selling it for direct
consumption. These institutions are
the corner stones of the dairy manu-
featuring industry of Wisconsin. Their
strength lies in the interest each patron
has in his own institution. The at
tempt to change from the local institu-
ton to that of one great marketing
body is very dangerous step. The
pooling of the entire milk production
of the 176, 166 dairy farmers of Wis
consin, which is one-tenth of the entire
production of the United States, is too
large an undertaking, and to attempt
such plan, when splendid progress is
being made in the federation of our
creameries and cheese factories, is
serious mistaken"

Quite number of ablebodied men,
some middle aged, others young men in
the twenties, have been drifting through
this section looking for work. Mr..
Hoen, the postmaster, is serving these
men, endeavoring to place them in the
tobacco harvest field; but many of
them have had no previous experience
in tobacco work. If people in town
are in need of help around the prem
ises, and have not succeeded in getting
help among our own towns people, they
should report their want to Mr.. Hoen
in the post office.

STANDINGS OF THE TEAMS
Tobacco Notes.

A. J. Ross of III. Fendrich, tobacco
dealers and cigar manufacturers of
Evansville, Ind, is in the city calling
on G.. E. Sweeney & Sons
Growers, avoid crowding in the sheds
is the admonition coming from those
who have studied the 1921 tobacco with
reference to successful curing.
Mr.. G. w. Spitzner of C. H. Spitz-
ner & Son, who was called to Ohio
shortly after arriving in Edgerton week
before last, returned to Edgerton last
week to complete business here.
Mr.. Frank Kellogg when seen this
week stated the two acre shade grown
tobacco put out by Mr.. Gary on his
farm outside of Madison came through
the growing season most satisfactorily.
The primings are finished, and the leaf
looks very attractive. No damage to
canvas or plants has been sustained.
Whether the experiment will turn out
so as to induce Mr.. Gary to continue
the growing of tobacco under canvas
another year, is not known. The ex-
pertinent this year gives assurance that
the thing can be done and that very
good leaf may be produced.

found that ever men and boys were
turning to needle work as a means of
earning a livelihood.
While the waist business is dull there
is still a demand for hand made hand
kerchiefs. This is keeping a good many
hundred handworkers busy during what
would otherwise be a very dull period of
the year.
Until the large stocks of waists which
have accumulated in the United States
have been disposed of, it is not expected
that there will be ca renewed activity
here for the making Of the cheaper
grade Of waists. Preparations tor the
business of next spring and summer
normally will commence the latter part
of October or November.
Recently handmade waists were re-
ported as selling in New York at ST. so
and $500. The minimum pay to the
worker for making even q simple waist
is said to be in the ne ghbourhaod of 70
cents. To make this type Of waist re
quires about a day. For some Of the
more elaborate waist the worker is paid
$500 or $500 each. Not more than two
of these garments a week can be turned
cat by a single worker. Porto Rico Pro

CHINESE BRIDES.

The Chinese have many superstitions
with regard to weddings. A girl who
is partaking of the last meal in her faith
er's house previous to her marriage sits
at the table with her parents and the
members of the family, but she must
eat no more than half the bowl Of rice
set before her, else departure will be
followed by continual scarcity in the
house she is leaving. If the bride breaks
the heel Of her shoe in going from her
father house to her husbands house
it is a sign Of unhappinesS. A bride
while putting on her wedding garments
stands in a round, shallow, basket. This
cOnduceS her to lead a placid Well-round-
ed life in her future home. A piece of
beacon and a parcel of sugar are hung
on the back of the brides sedan chair
as a sop to the demons who might mo-
lest her while on her journey. After
the departure from the parental roof her
mother puts the basket in which the
bride stood while dressing over the
mouth of the oxen to stop the mouths of
all who would make adverse comment on
her daughter, and then goes in the house
and sits down before the kitchen fire,
that her leisure may be duplicated in her
daughters life. A BRIDE may be brought
home while a coffin is in her husbands
house but DOT within one hundred days
after a coffin is carried out A bride
must not for four months after her mar
rage enter any house in which there
has been a death or a birth, for if she
does there will surel! be a quarrel be-
tween her and the groom. If a young
mother goes to see a bride the visitor
is looked upon as the cause of the ca
lamity that may follow the newly weds.

FIRST OVER-PRODUCTION

Although model waists for next
springs STYLES are now in the hands of
manufacturers and agents here the e is
little recovery expected in the blouse in
dustry 10 the island until October or
November
For practically the first time since
Porto Rico handmade waists commence
ed to gain popularity in the United
States there has been during the past
two months Dr so an oversupply Of the
cheaper grades Of those garments which
have been selling at retail in the United
States at less than the cost Of prOduc-

AS a result of this oversupply thou
sands OF girls and Women throughout
the island Who in the past three or four
years have turned to handWork at pres
ent are idle and payrolls that ran into
many thousands of dollars monthly have
largely been shut off.
There is still a demand for the more
elaborate and more expensive handWork
waist but even the demand for these
more expensive garments has been
checked because of the over supply of
the cheaper grade and a general slump
in buying. Up to three months ago it is
said that the island was producing at
least so, 900 bI1uses a week of which
40, 600 or more were OF the less expensive
grade. The demand for this type was of
waists temporarily is stopped and as a
result workers normally earning a total
of S25, 600 to $50, 001 a week are idle.
Until comparatively recently the de-
mand for Porto Rican handmade waists
has exceeded the supply and this has
resulted in many ageats and manufac-
turers starting in the business in the
last year or two. some of them IN a very
large scale. One company alone, it is
estimated, was shipping 20, 900 waists a
week to New York. In all more than a
dozen companies or agents have helped
