WILL CONE To
GRAND RAPIDS
The Travelling Exhibit of the
Wis. Anti-TuberCuIosis Assn.
and the Extension Division of
the State University Will
Reach Grand Rapids July 26
Or II and Remain Here Un-
til the. Close of the Week.

The Exhibit is at Wausau this
week where it is attracting a large
number Of people. DR.. Harvey Dee
Brown, who has charge of the trip
of the Exhibit, has written to the
Mayor and the Health Commissioner
asking that hall or vacant store
building be secured for the Exhibit
and a larger hall for the special lee
ture, which will be given by one of
the staff of special lecturers of the
Association, while the Exhibit is here
Grand Rapids will doubtless give
the Exhibit as warm a welcome as
any city in the State.
The Exhibit consists of charts and
pictures with models of sanatoria,
sleeping porches and the like, to-
gether with a fine set of pathology
cal specimens showing the progress
of the disease in human lungs. Late
ly there has been added to the
equipment of the Exhibit, a fine con-
cert photograph which not only dis
penses music, but also gives tuber-
culosis talks of very plain and
practical character.
At Merrill, where the Exhibit has
just closed, we had very success
full week. Over 1900 persons, most
ly adults, were reached and to the
special lecture 700 persons gather
ed, packing a hall to it's utmost ca
pacity
The Exhibit is in charge of MIR. w.
Q. Gloyer of Madison, who will stay
in Grand Rapids during the week of
its visit here and give talks daily
explaining the charts. 1t is expect
ed that local physicians also will
have part in the educational work.
This effort of the State Associa-
ton and the University to give pub
lie education concerning the ravages
of the White Plague, it's means of
prevention and cure, is one of the
most advanced movements in the
way of public health, that is being
carried on in our country. 1t is es-
tlmated that the Association win
reach 100000 people during the cal
ander year and the effect of this
agitation will doubtless be seen in
a diminished death rate.
Every person in Grand Rapids
ought to avail themselves of the op-
portunity to become informed on the
subject of this dread disease and the
means of avoiding it. The Exhibit
furnishes a very practical and sensi-
BILE method of gaining this cure

STATE SURVEY Of
WISCONSIN SOILS

A cooperative soil survey of the
state is soon to be begun under the
direction of the State Geological and
Natural History Survey and the Col
Of Wisconsin, assisted by the Bureau
of Soils of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. An act passed by the
last legislature provides that a soil
survey and a soil map of the state be
made to ascertain the character and
fertility Of the developed and unde-
veloped soils of the state, the extent
and practicability of drainage of
swamp and wet lands and the means
for conserving the increasing fer
tiIity of the Soils. The sum of $10,-
600 annually is appropriated for the
next two years for this work.
The plans include a preliminary
survey of the undeveloped third of the
state, mostly in the northern sections
and a detailed survey of the devel-
Oped two-thirds Of the state. The pre-
liminary work will occupy five or six
years, while the detailed survey will
require at least ten years for compile
ton. The detailed survey will be in
augurated in Iowa, Waukesha, Wau-
shara and Bayfield, counties, since the
soils of these counties are typical of
certain regions, the effort being to Sc
cure results in the early years of the
survey which will be of greater bene-
fit to all the people of the state. In
Bayfield, county sections suitable for
fruit raising will be surveyed
Preliminary Survey in Counties
For the preliminary survey a dis
triCt including Pierce, Pepin, ST..
Croix, Dunn, Eau Claire, Chippewa,
Rusk, Barron and Polk counties will
be included. Some other counties will
also be included in the preliminary
survey details for which have not as
yet been arranged.
The Bureau of Soils of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, which is
conducting surveys in many states,
has arranged to cooperate in the work
under the direction Of the College of
Agriculture, and field men represent
ing both the Bureau and the univer-
