ORCHIDS

1t will interest lovers of wild flow
ers to know that during the past few
weeks the most beautiful of the wild
orchids growing in Wisconsin have
been blooming two weeks ear
lier than usual. This orchid, the Reg
mae Cypripedium, sometimes called
the Show Lady Slipper, grow chiefly
in the tamarac swamps, and are most
plentiful in Jefferson and Sheboygan
counties There can occasionally be
found when the Reginae is blooming
a few blossoms of the Grass Pink, the
most exquisite of the orchids outside
of the lady slippers. The Grass Pink
blooms in open marsh land, rather
than among the trees.
June is pre-eminently the month of
fragrant wild flowers. Ali the lady
slippers, the Grass Pink and the Are
thusia among the orchids are delicate
ly fragrant. This is particularly true
of the tiny white and small yellow
lady slippers. Then the Viola Blanda,
the dainty little white violet which
now is blooming in the open marsh
land is as sweetly fragrant as the
English violet of commerce. We are
fortunate to be living in Wisconsin in
June, not to mention other months

telephone messages over fourteen
cents and under fifty cents, has been
five cents. Theatre admissions have
been ten per cent of the price OF the

suit of this reduction, remains to be
seen.

EGGS MUST BE CANDLED

Madison, Wis.-All field men were
instructed to enforce strict observance
of the Egg Gambling Order by Commits
sioner of Markets, Edward Nordman,
at a meeting held in his office June %.
According to officials of the depart
ment the recent hot weather has
caused serious deterioration in the
quality of Wisconsin eggs and all
dealers must candle the eggs receiv-
ed carefully, remove those which are
understandable, and place Gambling
certificates on the cases from now I'M
til January LIST, 1925.
This order was issued by the Mar
keting Division to insure the quality
of Wisconsin eggs on the large CEN
trail markets. During warm weather
Wisconsin eggs sell for several cents
more per dozen than those of neigh
boring states. This is due to the fact
that they show less heat loss and few
er rots In order to preserve our repu-
tation for good eggs dealers must
eliminate the poor quality stock and
farmers must take care to see that
no stale or rotten stuff is brought to
market. If Wisconsin eggs sell for
more they must be worth more, and
careless producers who deliver poor
stuff are not only injuring themselves
but are beating down the price on all
eggs sold. Wisconsin can produce a
high quality product, and the coop
Grafton of the producers in caring
for the egg before it is marketed with
the dealers who closely candle all
eggs bought will be of advantage to
both in higher prices and more salts
factory business relations.
