Sweet corn and tomatoes are 
about the only perishable vege- 
tables remaining after August 21st 
and the surplus must be saved. 
Therefore : experts will tell us 
how to can and dry these for win- 
ter use. 
Mr. Tuttle who has been very 
successful in making and selling 
apple butter and cider will tell how 
to do it. 
Cellar storage of vegetables is 
also of great importance. No one 
in particular has been chosen for 
this topic but the presiding officer 
will squeeze out evei-y bit of in- 
formation to be had. Its the little 
hints that count here. Every- 
bodv who has had success or met 
with failures must speak up in 
meeting. 
War Gardens in Madison and in 
Milwaukee will he discussed by Mr. 
Reid and Mr. Barr. This will 
mei-ely open the subject, giving 
everybody an opportunity to talk. 
This is to be a survey of the year’s 
woi'k and a look ahead for next 
year. 
Never were raspberries so scarce 
in Wisconsin as this year. Many 
fields have been plowed out and 
othei-s to follow. What is the rea- 
son? Berries both black and red 
are selling today, July 20th, at 44 
cents a quart retail. Surely that’s 
a good pi-ice. What’s the reason 
for the shortage. Shall we plant 
more berries next year? These 
and other questions will be an- 
swered by Mr. Bingham and Mr. 
Kellogg, at least to their own sat- 
isfaction. If others do not agree 
with them, there will be chance for 
a good discussion. Perhaps we 
will learn something. 
From a casixal, hasty l-eading of 
the pi-ogram it might be inferred 
that Dr. Fracker is referred to as 
an “insect.” Such is not the case. 
Dr. Fracker who is assistant State 
Entomologist, knows about an in- 
sect and will tell xxs. The same 
with Prof. Vaughn; “bugs” is a 
term common among scientists to 
indicate disease organisms. We 
need these men. They can tell xxs 
ixx plain manner the things we 
oxxerht to kxxow. 
It is a good plan to leave a place 
open on the prograxxx for Unfinish- 
ed Business. We have it. What 
will YOU have to offer? 
After we have finished the xxn- 
finished business, the Women’s 
Auxiliary will meet to complete tlm 
organization bevxxn at the annual 
convention. The men ax-e ex- 
pected to go ahoxxt their business, 
if thev have any. 
Try saving seed of some of the 
vegetables and flowers in the gai*- 
den this year. Seed may be hard- 
er to get next year thaxx this. 
America’s glorious privilege is to 
feed the world while it fights its 
way to freedom.
