buckhorn seeds to the pound. And
this is one of our worst weeds.
Clover will be very high this season
and it will be well to buy early, Corn
is plentiful and should not be very
high, although it pays to get the
right variety and the best of that.
Later on we will have more to say
on the seed question. I will take

TREES AS
Sentiment in Favor of This
Plan in Memory of Vilas
County’s Heroes.
That the planting of trees a s
memorials for our soldier and
sailor dead would be a fitting
and beautiful tribute is meeting
with universal favor throughout
the land.
Public sentiment is expressing
itself very strongly in favor of
this plan and Vilas county is
with it in its entirety. The plan
is to attach a bronze tablet,
bee ring a dead hero’s name, the
date of his birth and death, to
each tree thus planted.
This means a memorial for
each of our dead soldiers individ
ually, and it is something that
can be done soon, and will not
interfere in the slightest way
with any movement for a general
memorial to the Vilas county
bov who served his country.
To plant a tree, a thing of life,
which will grow into beauty and
majesty, to commemorate a sol
dier or sailor’s brave death, he
who made the supreme sacrifice
—what could be more fitting,
more ideal?
Let this plan be worked out
and make Memorial day the day
for erecting these memorials.

REMOVE REGULATION
FOR EATING PLACES
Conservation of Food Will Be
Continued Under the Super
vision of Individuals.
Effective Monday, December 23, the
twelve General Orders of the Food
Administration for public eating
places are abolished. This frees hotel
keepers from all Food Administration
rules and leaves the problem of food
saving in their own hands.
“We do not hesitate to do this,” said
Magnus Swenson, Food Administrator
for Wisconsin, “because of the ready
adoption of all our conservation meas
ures by the hotels in the state. With
the present high cost of living and
their knowledge of our obligation to
ship 20,000,000 tons of food abroad,
their independence will undoubtedly
result in but little waste.”
ITALIAN MERCHANTS PAY
PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS
With the aid of an interpreter, five
Italian merchants of Milwaukee were
examined by the Enforcement Division
of the Food Administration upon the
charge of selling flour without substi
tutes. It is practically impossible to
bring to these storekeepers’ under
standing the matter of food regula
tions, and what they do know of them,
they plead ignorance rather than fol
low them. To emphasize the impor
tance of food rules, unfair orders for
different periods of time were issued
against the merchants.
Frank Balistieri, who has disposed
of about 407 barrels of flour between
May Ist and October 19th with but a
small quantity of substitutes had his
right to purchase flour revoked and an
unfair order issued against him pro
hibiting him to sell flour for three
months beginning December 20.
V. Manciai, a small dealer selling 30
barrels of flour without any substi
tutes, had an unfair order forbidding
him to purchase flour for 30 days com
mencing December 20.
Frank Italiano who has been buying
and selling large quantities of flour
without substitutes is prohobited from
purchasing or selling flour until the
Ist of February beginning December
20.
F. Tarantino, handling a consider
able amount of flour bought from the
Atlas Milling company without substi
tutes, is subject to an unfair order
preventing him from buying or selling
flour from the 20th of December
February Ist.
. The Cianciola Brothers, violators of
the substitute rule and other regula
tions had their license revoked upon
all licensed articles from December 26
to February Ist.
BREED DAIRY COWS
IN WINTER MONTHS
Dairy cows should be bred during
December, January and February in
order to have them freshen in the
fall, lhe advantages of fall freshen
ing, say s C. H. Staples, dairy specialist
of Louisiana State university, are that
the cow will then produce the maxi
mum amount of milk and butter fat,
dairy products are worth more during
the winter, the weather is usually mild
in the fall and troubles from calving
are not so apt to develop at that time
as in the extremely cold or hot
weather, and calves dropped in the
fall do better because when weaned
from milk, they are old enough to
graze.
As a great butter and dairy state,
Wisconsin will be affected by the
enormous demand for milk products
arising from the lack of dairy herds in
Europe and by the high prices which
milk and butter bring. According to
the Food Administration for Wiscon
sin, these staples will have the largest
market this year, and any efforts on
the part of farmers to increase their
production will be profitably repaid.
Comfortable cows, sheltered proper
ly from cold and well fed will, of
course, give the most milk. Roughage
is necessary to take care of body
weight, about 2 pounds of hay being
required for every 100 pounds of live
weight and 3 pounds of silage to every
one pound of hay.
Grain mixtures are fed for milk pro
duction. The rate should be one
pound of grain for every 4 pounds of
milk which test below 4 per cent or
one pound of grain for every 3 pounds
of milk testing higher than 4 per cent.
LIGHTER RULES ARE MADE
FOR MILLERS AND BAKERS
With the rescinding of many license
regulations, bakers, manufacturers of
syrups and glucose and distributors of
fish are freed from the rules of the
Food Administration, and many
changes have been made in the mill
ing regulations. Prices must still be
limited to a reasonable margin of
profit.
No mill feed pledges need to be
signed and licensees may store any
amount of wheat, rye, corn, oats or
barley, sell any amount of them and
contract for their sale at a future
period more than 60 days distant.
All restrictions on the milling of
corn, oats, barley and rye and the sale
of their milled products are rescinded.
There are now no limits to the
amount of malt that may be manu
factured nor the grain malsters may
purchase or have on hand.
"Wholesalers, jobbers and importers
of hominy, corn grits, cornmeal, raw
cornflakes, starch from corn, barley,
corn, oat flours and rolled oats are
freed from license regulations.
