the blight. Do not plant tomatoes on
the same plot two years in succession
as there is already an infection of the
blight in this soil.
The next step and one that is very
easily done is the thoro spraying of
the young plants before transplant
ing to the field with Bordeaux Mix
ture (4-4-5O) with pounds of arse
nate powder. The arsenate Of lead is
used for the potato bug which is a
common pest in the tomato field. Let
the plants dry before pulling to pre-
vent scalding.
This disease is spread from one
plant to another to a large extent by
the cultivator while the plants are
wet. If the tomatoes cultivated only
in the afternoon when the plants are
dry, the spread of the disease will be
greatly prohibited.
The two above mentioned preven-
tives seems to be of the most practi-
cal Importance to the farmer but
spray ten days after transplanting
and every two weeks thereafter until
the vines are too large to drive thru
will be profitable investment Ex-
periments show that the crop may be
increased from tones to twice the
average yield per acre.

The unusually mild weather for this
time of the year has caused the
dandelions and other wild flowers to
bloom in this part of the State, these
blossoms having been noticed in sew

winds since Monday and later several
residents reported that the fields con-
tain many daisies that are in blossom

DODGE BROTHERS
MOTOR CAR

Value so pronounced that you are justified
in looking upon the purchase of Dodge
Brothers Motor Car as the soundest possible
investment in transportation.
Not dollar is added to the purchase price
to support a free service policy; nor to
cover the cost1inesS of numerous body or
chassis types; nor to pay interest on bor-
rowed money; nor to maintain a multiple
organization of middlemen.
Dodge Brothers finance themselves. They
sell directly through single organization
Of dealers to you. They do not believe in
charging in advance for service you may
never need. They have developed re-
markable economies, and a time seasoned
product, by concentrating on standard
types.
These facts are reflected, not only in the
price of the Car, but in the quality of
workmanship and materials that enter into
its construction.

TOURISTS SPENT
$5O0.0O0 DAILY
Highway Commission Estimates That
Much Was Expended by Visitors
in Visiting Wisconsin.

Madison. The heavy Wisconsin
tourist travel, instead of being con-
centrated in Northern counties is
shown by the traffic count of the state
highway commission to be conferred
in Southeastern population centers.
Complete totals for cities Of Wis
consin disclose the fact that 46,743
out-of-state automobiles were in
Wisconsin on August 8, the day of
the count, This is interpreted to
show that during the height of the
tourist season approximately 100000
out-of-state people were in Wiscon-
SIN. Estimates are that over $780,
600 was expended daily by the visit
ing tourists.
While northern counties showed
large numbers of foreign cars in their
reported counts, the southern dis
tricts predominated in totals, fact
which leads highway officials to con
clude that most of the tourists were
taking short weekend jaunts into
Wisconsin, rather then extensive
tours.
From the summer resort district Of
the state, Eagle River reported ESQ
foreign cars; Hudson, 423; Rhine
lander, 221; Menomonie, 24t; Wis
consin Rapids, 1879; Wausau, 4S3;
Williams Bay, 4S2; Amigo, 800.
In the North, Ashland showed 1913
out-of-town machines, and Superior
754. Sturgeon Bay had 159 foreign
car visitors, with Chippewa Falls
showing 265; West Bend, TIC.
Eau Claire reported 545 out-of-
state cars; Fond du Lac jumped up
with 1908, while Green Bay had 623;
Appleton, 1923; Kaukauna, 282; La
Crosse, 1884; Oshkosh, 997; Manitow-
oc, n and Sheboygan, 141.

largest showing of foreign machines.

CARLOAD OF
SODATOL ORDERED
First Carload of the New Explosive
Has Been Sold to Iron County
Farmers.
By County Agent Shafer

A carload of sodatol has been or
dered and will be distributed among
Iron county farmers as soon as it
arrives. The car will contain $4,000
pounds of powder and is all sold. A
second car will be ordered as soon as
we have enough orders to total a
carload A new set of order blanks
is being distributed this week, and
farmers wishing powder out of the
second carload should not delay
sending in their orders.
Dynamite users should not hest
tate in placing their orders for soda
tol, it has been thoroughly tried out
by explosive experts. Sodatol, as
most of US know, is an explosive pre-
pared from surplus war materials for
stump and stone blasting. 1t is as
safe as any explosive can be made,
but for safety sake, the same precau-
tions should be observed as in hand
ling any high explosive. A cartridge
of sodatol will dc as good work under
ordinary conditions as cartridge of
dynamite. A No 6 blasting cap
stain hands or clothing or cause a
headache. Sodatol is packed in car
tridges the same size as ordinary
dynamite, 100 cartridges to each So
pound case. A No. blasting cap
will explode sodatol Either fuse or
electric cap may be used Sodatol is
used the same as ordinary dynamite
or picric acid. Instructions are pack
ed in each case. Sodatol costs $5.95
per 100 pounds in carload lots.

REDUCTION IN TAXES COL
LECTED IN WISCONSIN
Lower Returns From Income Tax
Given as the Reason for Re
duction of 100000.

Madison,-A slight reduction in
the total taxes collected in Wisconsin
from all sources during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1923, is to be
shown by compilations of the state
tax commission, according to I. f.
Lyons, chairman of the commission.
The expected reduction, amounting
to approximately $1,000,000 IS at
tributable to lower returns from the
income tax, Mr. Lyons said.
The tax commission, the only state
department to attempt to show the
actual cost Of state government to the
taxpayer, finds that instead of bear
ing burden Of S36,0O0,000 annually
for supporting their state govern
ment as reported from some sources,
the people are paying less than $l4,-
600, 900.
This figure is arrived at through
elimination of state aid and agency
transactions that involve no state
expense.
According to tax commission fg-
uTes, the totai general property taxes
in Wisconsin fr the past fiscal year
win total approximately $98,000,OO0,
with income and other taxes 3ring-
ing the grand total for state, county,
local, and school purposes to nearly
s117,000,0O0.
Tax commission figures for the
past year are expected to show that
only slightly over II percent Of total
taxes are for state purposes, while
y percent are for county purposes,
81 per cent for local purposes and 81
percent for schools.
