movies and cheap vaudeville are 
the main attractions in summer as 
well as in winter. 
How many communities have a 
suitable field for a ball game with- 
out trespassing? 
Supposing a neighborhood should 
buy or lease a small tract with an 
open field for games and a shady 
corner where ail the neighbors 
could meet Sunday afternoons; 
suppose, — well suppose the writer 
stops here and let others tell about 
it. It’s a mighty interesting sub- 
ject, and in addition to Prof. F. A. 
Aust the following persons will talk 
about it. 
W. J. Moyle, Union Grove. 
H. M. Higgins, Seneca, 111. 
W. Ames, Oregon. 
E. II. Niles, Oconomowoc. 
Miss Nellie McDonald, Co. Supt. 
Schools, Oconto. 
Mrs. N. A. Rasmussen, Oshkosh. 
L. L. Oldham, C. Agr. Agent, 
Elkhorn. 
Tuesday Afternoon 
Strawberries: Varieties new and 
old: Discussion led by Herman 
Christensen, Oshkosh. 
A small fruit survey; Prof. R. II. 
Roberts. Insects affecting small 
fruits. Dr. S. B. Fracker. 
Herbaceous perennials, new and 
old ; a selection that will furnish 
bloom from April until Novem- 
ber. Discussion led by W. A. 
Toole, Baraboo. 
Recent investigations in cucumber 
diseases. S. P. Doolittle, Dept, 
plant Pathology Univ. of Wis. 
This ought to make a full and 
satisfactory day, especially if lots 
of people come and take part in the 
discussions. 
There is another reason why most 
everybody slum Id come and that is 
the program for the second day, 
which as usual is in the hands of 
the local people. That it will be a 
complete and finished program no 
one doubts. Fort Atkinson is the 
home of the largest Wisconsin 
nursery and an inspection of this 
will be highly profitable as well as 
interesting. The summer meeting 
is quite as important and as profi- 
table as the winter meeting and 
there is the additional advantage 
of more agreeable traveling condi- 
tions. 
Fort Atkinson is centrally sit- 
uated in Southern Wisconsin and 
for all who have automobiles is 
merely a pleasant jaunt. On the 
whole we will, no doubt, have a 
good attendance and a pleasant 
time. The details of how we will 
be entertained by the “Fort” peo- 
ple will be announced next month. 
INTERNATIONAL APPLE SHIPPERS’ ASSOCIATION 
Tenth Annual Apple Exhibit, Milwaukee, August 13, 14 and 15, 1919 
GENERAL GROUP CLASSES AND PRIZES 
(Open to the World) 
For the best exhibit of commercial varieties as representing- the section or 
state from which it comes, and to be composed of not more than five (5) 
summer, five (5) fall and ten (10) winter varieties the following prizes are 
offered in each of the Groups specified below: 
First prize — Silver Cup and Blue Ribbon. 
Second Prize — Silver Medal and Red Ribbon. 
Third Prize — Bronze Medal and White Ribbon. 
The sections comprising the various Groups are as follows: 
Group 1 
Provinces of Ontario and ' Connecticut 
Nova Scotia, Canada Rhode Island 
Maine New York 
New Hampshire Michigan 
Vermont Wisconsin 
Massachusetts Minnesota 
Each Group constitutes a class by itself. The fruit entered in any Group 
will compete against all other entries in the same Group and will also be re- 
garded as entered for the President’s Cup. 
General Group Sweepstakes Prize 
The two exhibits scoring the highest in each of the above Groups, as deter- 
mined by the specifications applicable to that Group, will be selected to form 
a Group Sweepstakes Class. For the best exhibit in this class, the Association 
offers a Silver Cup, designated the President’s Cup. No exhibit, however, will 
be awarded both the President’s Cup and a prize in the Group Classes. The 
exhibit, therefore, ranking second in the Group which takes the Silver Cup 
will be awarded the first prize in that Group. The judges, in their prelimi- 
nary determinations, will, therefore, make one more award than the prize 
list calls for, to provide for this necessity.

by Them.)
