HARVESTING POWER
Big Plant on Black River to Distrib-
ute Power Over Large
Territory.

What will be the future of Wisconsin
water powers in industry is suggest
ed by the following from Winona,
Mimi, newspaper:
w. j. Ferris Of the Lacrosse Water
Power company has closed contracts
for the construction work and appa-
ratus for the plant and pole lines from
Hatfield, in Jackson county, to La
Crosse and the local light and power
company executed a contract with the
Lacrosse Water Power company for
the distribution of the water power
current into and througout the city of
Lacrosse over the lines of the Gas &
Electric company. Thus Lacrosse
leads the way to the utilization of this
modern power for factories and for
lighting and interurban purposes.
Mr.. Ferris says that the contract for
the construction of the plant at Hat
field, including the dam, canal, power
house and all other apparatus, as well
as the construction of the pole lines,
from Hatfield to Lacrosse by way of
Sparta, has been signed on February
7th, with the J. G. White company of
New York, and that it's representative
would be at Hatfield this week to take
active charge of the situation there,
and that the actual construction work
would begin by March first, with the
expectation that the work will be COM
pleted and the power actually delivered
in Winona and Lacrosse within eight
months.
''The dam," Mr.. Ferris said, "will
be of the solid concrete type, $50 feet
long and so feet high, with spillway
300 feet wide. The canal leading from
the dam to the power house will be
about two miles long, with width of
seventy-fve feet and depth of thir-
teen feet. The head at the power
house will be between eighty-five and
ninety feet, and at a conservative esti-
mate we will be able to develop fifteen
thousand horsepower.
The above goes to show something
of the future of the easily developed
powers in Rusk county. AS the other
and more extensively developed powers
are taken up, ours become more yalu-
able and more in demand.

pains were taken to get them into pro-
per shape.
Plans for the future were discussed
in order to devise methods of proceed
ure for future work.

I'll Health Causes Withdrawal from
University Resume Work as
Professor Emeritus.

Dean w. A. Henry of the college of
agriculture of the University of Wis
consin has resigned on account of i'll
health, after twenty-seven years of
service, dnring which the college has
attained phenomenal growth. The
president and regents of the university
have expressed deep regret at his loss,
and have made him professor emeritus,
so that he will return, after rest,
and do what work his health will per
NIT. Two years ago Dean Henry re-
quested that he be relieved of his eX-
ecutive duties, as the burden connected
with the direction of the experiment
station, the deanship Of the college of
agriculture, and the many calls upon
his time and strength through the var
ious agricultural interests of the state
with which he has been connected,
have been too heavy for his failing
health. President VanHise, however,
pursuaded him to remain, until this
year he became convinced that the state
of Dean Henry's health justified his
resignation.
TWENTY SEVEN YEARS AT WISCONSIN.
Dean Henry has been connected with
the university for twenty-seven years,
having been elected professor of botany
and agriculture in June, 1880. Upon
the establishment of the experiment
station in 1897, he was appointed di-
rector, and in 1891 he became dean
of the college of agriculture. When
Dean Henry took charge of the agri-
cultural work in 1880, there were no
agricultural students in attendance.
The following year, 1912, there were
six. In 1886 the first successful short
course in agriculture in this country
was established at the university.
Three years later, in 1890, the first
dairy course in America was given.
In 1904 the ten days farmers course
was successfully established.
Under Dean Henry's direction the
college of agriculture has increased
in enrolment from to 1921. The
four years course in agriculture has
grown from 3 students to I136. The
short course began with registration
of 19 twenty years ago, and this year
has BET. The dairy course, beginning
in 1890 with 2 students, last year reach
ed total. enrolment of 1853. In the
three years since it's inception the ten
days farmers course has increased in
attendance from IT'S to 607.

In his book from the Cape to

and at certain seasons Of the year they
rise from the water In such stupendous
clouds that they blot out the whole
horizon. Seen In the distance they
have exactly the appearance of rain

they are blown landward they make
every place uninhabitable by the
stencil which arises from the countless
millions that lodge and die on every
inch of sheltered ground. I myself
have seen them lying foot deep in
room, and was told that they are
often much worse The natives sweep
them up and make cakes Of them.
