The campaign waged in 1917 for the production of food, especially for the increase of grain and live stock and for "back yard poultry flocks" and "war gardens" produced an enormous increase. in foods of all

kinds. The campaigns, both spring and fall were so successful that the plans were printed by the Council of National Defense and sent to all other states as an example to be emulated. Because of the failure of the 1917 corn crop the outlook for 1918 was anything but encouraging, but a revolving fund of $20,000 was created for the purchase of seed corn, a seed survey was made through the schools under the direction of J. B. Borden, and Commissioner of Agriculture C. P. Norgord, ap- pointed to administer the fund, distributed 19,148 bushels of seed corn costing $109,748.85, from which the largest and best yield in years was harvested.
In the spring of 1917, before the Federal Food Administration was organized, the State Council inaugurated a strenuous food conservation campaign. Experts were provided for lectures and demonstrations of methods of canning, drying and preserving fruits and vegetables; whole- sale bakers were induced to accept the return of no unsold bread; free lunches in saloons were prohibited, etc.
Upon the organization of the Federal Food Administration the State Council urged the appointment of Chairman Swenson as Federal Food Administrator for Wisconsin in order that the war work might be cen- tralized and duplication and overlapping of effort avoided. The entire resources of the Council of Defense system were placed at the disposal of the Food Administration. The County Food Administrators were nominated by the County Councils and assisted financially and morally in their work. The work of the Food Administration increased enor- mously until in May, 1918, it was found necessary to separate the state offices from those of the State Council, although the close cooperation between the two departments continued.
The State and County Councils assisted in the original survey of the fuel situation and the organization of the Fuel Administration; in the supervision of the first Liberty Loan campaign and in the organizations for the subsequent campaigns and all other war work campaigns.
Following the disastrous forest fire in Minnesota in October, 1918, Gov. Philipp requested the State Council to raise a fund of $50,000 by popular subscription for the victims of the fire. A total of $61,736.84 was received by the State Council within a short time and forwarded to F. A. Baxter, chairman of the Superior Relief Committee. Of this amount $11,110 was contributed by the Society of Equity, $2,458 by the Wisconsin Retail Lumbermen's Association, and the balance by County Councils of Defense, who raised it by private subscription or contributed from their War Chests. Besides this, County Councils sent $7,003.12 direct to the Relief Committee, and one fraternal organization re- ported contributions of $12,684.65. In addition to all this the city of Superior paid out $48,878 for the sufferers, many of whom took refuge in that city, making a grand total in cash from Wisconsin of $130,303.51. Clothing and food were sent in such quantities that their collection was soon discontinued by request of the committee.
The History Committee, through similar committees in the County Councils, began early in 1918, for the collection of material for a com- plete and exhaustive war history of the state.
In the spring of 1917 the Agricultural Labor committee worked out a plan for providing farm labor which proved so successful it was recom- mended and sent broadcast by the Council of National Defense as "The Wisconsin Plan." The Council cooperated with the University in plac- ing students on the farm for summer work; urged retired farmers to return to the farm for the period of the war; advocated "auto squad- rons" of business men to carry the peak load at harvest time, etc. In 1918, through co-operation with the state Director of the U. S. Boys' Working Reserve, approximately 10,000 boys between the ages of 16 and 21 years, were given special practical training in elementary farm work before being released from school April 15 to go on farms for the summer and fully 90 per cent of them made good. .

The Council also co-operated with the U. S. Employment Service and the U. S. Public Service Reserve and in cooperation with the Industrial Commission employment offices were maintained in all the principal cities of the state.
In March, 1918, the Liberty Music Service was organized to stimulate interest in patriotic music and 205 organizations, comprising approxi- mately 10,000 people in 48 counties were enlisted in the work. During the Fourth Liberty Loan the director of the service accompanied the Jackie Band and speakers' party on a tour of 35 cities of the state.
A complete survey of the medical and nursing resources of the state was made under the direction of the Medical Committee of the State Council and the serious shortage of trained nurses was offset in a measure by the emergency training of civilian Health Aides. Under a law passed in 1917, providing for training units, six months' courses of intensive training were given at the Milwaukee County hospital, Mil- waukee, St. Mary's Hospital, Green Bay and St. Agnes' Hospital, Fond du Lac, certificates being awarded to 42 girls.
Through the county committees enrollment of physicians in the Medical Reserve Corps was encouraged, numerous readjustments which were necessitated by the withdrawal of physicians into the service were made and steps were taken for the relief of physicians' families. In several instances every physician in the community and in two in- stances every physician in the county entered the service and others had to be shifted to care for the medical wants of the community.
On September. 15, 1918, the Council of National Defense created a Non-War Construction Committee whose duty it was to carry out through the states the order of the War Industries Board to reduce non-essential building to a minmum that men and materials might be released for essential war work. The Wisconsin State Council Committee was formed at once and immediately .secured the appointment of a com- mittee in each county.
The State committee was charged with the responsibility of stopping all non-essential building which had not reached a substantial degree of com- pletion, and with preventing any new building not essential to war or for necessary agricultural purposes. The work of this committee, crowded into less than two months, was more intensive than that of any other State Council Committee. Daily meetings were held when 285 petitions for per- mits were considered, 125 of which, for buildings valued at $2,543,753 were denied. All but 20 per cent of the decisions sent to Washington were con- curred in by the National Committee. The rulings of this committee were accepted in every case without complaint, even though it always meant in- convenience and frequently financial sacrifice to the petitioners.
Too much credit cannot be given to the work of the women of the state. The objects of the Woman's Committee of the State Council were: to learn where and to what extent women were needed in defense work; to coordi- nate all women's organizations and bring together the unorganized women to the end that duplication of effort might be avoided ; to spread information from the Federal government; and to report the war activities of women to the State and National Councils of Defense. .
In order to centralize the work of the Woman's Committee an Advisory Board made up of the heads of all state-wide women's organizations met bi-monthly. From this board was appointed an Executive Board which met every week to facilitate business. The work was standardized through the creation of the following departments as demand for the work arose: Ameri- canization, Child Welfare, Food Production and Conservation, Health and Recreation, Home and Foreign Relief, Information, Nursing, Publicity, Speakers' Bureau and Women in Industry. Thus women carrying on one line of work held themselves to that particular line, becoming thoroughly familiar with their neighborhood and its need of the special work they were assigned to do.

WISCONSIN'S WAR ACTIVITIES
Each county had a Woman's Committee chairman who was a member of the County Council of Defense. In 34 counties the organization was com- plete, with a working unit in every school district. Thirty-seven counties found a township and village organization adequate. These school district, village, city and county units included all departments, with an active force of workers including ward, block, and district officers, making a total of 80,000 organized women working.
Sewing units were promoted all over the state and a Central Depot was established at Madison where the product of these units could be assembled, inspected and shipped. From this Depot were shipped 8 tons of clothing for Belgian Relief, 200 pounds to Fond du Lac Associated Charities, 50 pounds to Rhinelander, 75 pounds to Madison and 5 tons to Red Cross and Duryea Relief. In addition, the committee furnished 35 tons of clothing for the victims of the forest fire in Minnesota.
The State Council of Defense acted as a clearing house between County and Community Councils on the one hand and the Council of National Defense and all Federal departments on the other. Its ac- tivities were so numerous and so varied that it is impossible within reasonable space limits to note them all. Some idea of the scope of the work handled can be gained from the following:
Held three conferences of County Council Officers in Madison, May 22 and Oct. 9-10, 1917, and Feb. 14-15, 1918.
Followed the recommendations of the Council of National Defense for reduction of deliveries, refusal of returned goods, early closing and the "cash and carry" plan.
August, 1917, began a campaign to limit Christmas giving.
December, 1917, conference with railroad presidents on advisability of discontinuing competitive passenger trains.
Gave publicity to law relating to "government allowances" and "Allott- ments of Soldiers' Pay."
Co-operated with Railroad Commission in providing cars for shipment of farm produce.
Requested County Councils to furnish clerical help to draft boards.
Sent out resolutions of Council of National Defense requesting the public , to discontinue sending food stuffs to soldiers and sailors in camp, in order to safeguard the health of the men and in the interests of food conservation.
After a formal hearing of arguments approved the "War Chest" plan of. providing funds for war relief organizations, but left to each County Council the working out of details if it chose to adopt the plan.
Aided wood-working industries of the Fox River Valley.
Urged all young women to continue school work during 1918.
Collected and sent to the proper Federal authorities valuable pictures, maps, drawings, and descriptions of bridges, buildings, cities and localities in Germany and occupied territory. County Councils sent much material direct.
Secured through County Councils a list of "Enemy-owned property" within the state and transmitted it to Alien Property Custodian.
County and Community Councils enlisted in a publicity campaign urging purchasers to hold their Liberty bonds.
Maintained supervisory control over the solicitation of funds by private organizations for war relief. County Councils refused to assist in a cam- paign of any organization which had not received the endorsement of the State Council.
Through FORWARD and weekly bulletins gave publicity to the names of Wisconsin men listed as deserters or delinquents and aided in their appre- hension.
January 2, 1918, requested the President and Congress to speed the work for improvement of conditions in camps and cantonments.
At the request of the Council of National Defense called a conference on
378
