MILWARD GIVES VIEWS
ON SPUD FARMING
Says Seed Inspection Is Laying
Foundation for State to be
Leader in Potato Cul-
ture Very Soon

Practical problems and progress of
seed potato production and sales in
Wisconsin are treated by Prof. ]. G.
Milward of the University of Wiscon-
sin in his address before the mem
bers of the Michigan Potato Produc-
ers' Association in their annual
meeting. "One of the objects of po-
tato inspection work is to get the
best of them into the hands Of the
growers" he stated.
In 1916 100000 bushels of seed
potatoes were produced, and in 1917,
more than 2S,OOO,OOO bushels were
grown with scarcely any increase in
the acreage In Wisconsin last year
there were 10000 acres planted to
potatoes for the first time. Yet the
state acreage was not materially in
creased.
There are two phases Of the pota-
to seed production question, the in
terstate problem and the standardiza-
ton of varieties within the state.
One of the most productive varieties
found in Wisconsin today is the Tri-
umph variety, developed by J. w.
Smith. These potatoes started from
six seed tubers and bred by him on
his farm 16 miles from the railroad.
These potatoes were found to be prac-
tically free from MOSAIC, the worst
scourge to the potato crop in south
ern states. Today, more than $50
growers are raising this strain which
originated in the six picked by Mr.
Smith.
''The Rural New Yorker variety is
the most stable for all conditions in
Wisconsin, while the Green Mountain
is very unstable and subject to dis
eases Irish Cobblers, though produc-
ing high yields in Wisconsin, tend
to become pear-shaped and do not do
well when shipped out of the state
for southern planting.
''They develop the MOSAIC very
badly there. Good selected seed stock
pays. In four cases out of five, good
seed has shown to advantage in
southern planting. A shipment Of
four carloads of Triumph stock which
was shipped south last year went to
pieces here. This variety or strain
win be eliminated from certifica
ton for seed purposes next year,"
Prof. Milward advocated abandon
ment Of the word certified on speak
ing of the potatoes and recommend
ed that they be called inspected"
seed stock What we must have is
seed potato inspection service based
on actual field conditions, and stand
ards consistent with production meth
DDS. Standards are hard to define
at present because of the judgment
which must be exercised in placing
the stamp of approval on the crop.
Where the potatoes will be used for
planting makes good deal of diff
ference as to whether they can be
given certificate.
Work done on seed potato develop
ment has been of inestimable value to
the farmers of Wisconsin" he con-
cluded. J. w. Nicholson, manager of
the seed department of the farm bu-
reau, took up the methods used by
the farm bureau in disposing of the
Michigan certified seed potatoes in
a very concise and interesting man
ner following Prof Milward's address.

INDICATIONS POINT TO
BIG TOURIST TRADE
Resort Men Look for Increased
Tourist Trade this Summer
Motor Travel to Reach
Record Point

Railway passenger agents and
others connected with the tourist
business predict a record breaking
amount of travel in this country dur
ing the coming summer season. Age
ncies that supply informations etc.
report an unusually large and early
call for such information, indicating
that when warm weather returns it
will start an unprecedented wave of
travel by American citizens anxious
to see the different sections of their
own country The railroads expect
to handle their share of this business
but the number of auto tourists will
be larger than ever before. It is
predicted, for instance, that at least
100000 autos will take to the roads"
from the four states of Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska, and Kansas. And if other
states furnish corresponding quota
of auto tourists it will mean move
ment such as never before has been
witnessed.
This information is of considerable
interest to Wisconsin, which has wit
messed steady growth of auto tour
list travel du1ing the past several
years and is anxious to encourage
and increase such travel in the Bad
ger state. The natural attractions of
this state in the shape of woods, lakes,
streams, camp sites and exceptional
facilities for summer sports and out
door recreation and amusements, to-
gether with its improved highways and
excellent system of markings, have
made Wisconsin widely famous as
splendid field auto tourists, and this
has called many thousands of these
transient visitors to the state during
recent seasons. But the present sea-
son promises to make a new record
in this respect for Of course Wiscon-
sin will get it's share of the tourists
travel, and if the latter is larger than
usual as now predicted it means that
more tourists than ever before will
come to Wisconsin this year, to enjoy
its scenic attractions and the other
facilities that make tourists vacations
joy to those who indulge in this new
method of summer recreation
While many tourist visitors will
come anyhow however, it should be
remembered that this business can be
encouraged and increased by legiti-
mate advertising efforts and it would
be foolish and shortsighted to neglect
the opportunity that is offered in this
connection OF course every tourist
who has visited Wisconsin in the past
may be counted on to spread the fame
of the state as tourists Mecca, but
the residents and business interests
of the state should do little boost
ing" on their own account. This tour
.ist travel is worth thousands of dollars
and because it is so desirable, other
states are going after it with careful
advertising plans and other schemes
to attract the travellers. Wisconsin
should do likewise, and should set up
some permanent agency to look after
its interests along this line. For this
tourist crop" is well worth cultivat-
ing, and every dollar invested in it
will pay handsome returns.-O Oshkosh

|COURSE FOR CREDIT
|MEN To Be OFFERED
EnroIIments Thursday at Com

Enrollments for the course of in

given by the Associated Retail
Credit Men of Washington, will be
made next Thursday night at associ-
alton headquarters in the Commerce
and Savings Bank Building, Seventh

The school Is free to every young

will be available to students TO
afford them an insight into the
practical side Of their work.
The instructor. Leon Mayor, con-
Quoted a similar course last year at
the Y. NJ. G. A.
There Is a crying need in the
business world for trained credit
men," said Mr.. Mayor last night.
The majority of so-calied toclt
managers are little more than glori'
fled clerks. They haven't the tram.
ing indispensable to their work.
"As the greater part Of the bust.
ness done by the big stores IL on a
credit basis, the Importance OF this
feature cannot be discounted. A
real credit manager must know how
to turn down an undesirable Gus.
toner in a way that will make that
person a friend of the store for life.
He also must be able to analyze
character at sight, and know
whether to extend or refuse credit.
He must lend a helping hand to
applicants whom he considers
honest. Entirely too many credit
managers will turn upon a man with
a bad credit reputation, or cne
whose mere shabby appearance tells
the condition of his pocketbook, and
growl, 'Aw, get out of this store.
You won't get any credit around
here
"A, credit manager can reform
men whose previous credit careers
have been bad and can do favors
here and there for impecunious
young people which some time will
rebound to the lasting benefit OF
the store"

All previous attempts to bring
down the rate on the green cars
