SUMMER MEETING 
A discussion of the program 
The meeting at Baraboo ought 
to be a success. It will be a suc- 
cess. The program as you read 
it on this page is rather a cold 
looking affair, so we will discuss it 
a moment. The Dig idea is to learn 
how to care for the second and 
third grade apples, the apples that 
sometimes rot on the ground in 
farmers’ orchards because they are 
not finite good enough for barrel- 
ing, and for other reasons. Noth- 
ing should go to waste this year, 
not even scabby apples. 
War conditions seriously affect the making of a program such as this. 
Prof. J. G. Moore, who expected to attend, is in service at a reserve 
officers’ training camp until September. Members of the Home 
Economic department have been called for war work and so on down 
the line. As it looks at this writing an entirely new list of names may 
appear on the program August 21st, but the subjects will be left and 
competent persons to lead in the discussion of them. 
Thursday 
The program for Thursday is in the hands of the local committee 
and will be announced on Wednesday, Aug. 21st. From scraps of in- 
formation picked u]) by the secretary it appears that Thursday’s pro- 
gram will be as profitable and entertaining as any we have had in 
former years. 
PREMIUM LIST 
The following premiums are offered for exhibits of flowers and vege- 
tables, at the Summer Meeting, Baraboo, August 21 and 22.
