The Work to be Inauguratcd in
Iowa, Waukesha, Waushara,
and Bayfield, Counties.

A cooperative soil survey Of the state
is soon to be begun under the direction
of the State Geological and Natural his
tory Survey and the College of Ayricul
ture of the University Of Wisconsin,
assisted by the Bureau of Soils of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture. An
act passed by the last legislature pro
vides that a soil survey and Il soil map
character and fertility of the developed
and undeveloped soils Of the state, the
extent and practicability Of drainage Of
swamp and wet lands and the means
for conserving aud increasing the fer
| tility of the soils The sum Of $t0,OOO
annually is appropriated for the next
| two years is appropriated for this work.
The plans include Il preliminary sur
vey Of the undeveloped third Of the
state, mostly in the northern sections,
and detailed survey Of the developed
two thirds of the state The prelimin-
ary work will occupy five or six years
while the detailed survey will require at
least ten years for completion. The de
tailed survey will be inaugurated in
Iowa, Waukesha, Waushara and Bay
field counties, since the soils of these
counties are typical Of certain regions,
the effort being to secure results in the
early years Of the survey which will be
Of greatest benefit to all the people Of
state. In Bayfield, county sections suit
able for fruit raising will be surveyed
For the preliminary survey a district
including Pierce, Pepin, st, Croix,
Dunn, Eau Claire, Chippewa, Rusk,
Barron and Polk counties will be in
cluded. 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. De
partment Of Agriculture, which is con
Quoting surveys in many states, has
arranged to cooperate in the work un
der the direction Of the College Of Ag-
riculture, and field men representing
both the Bureau and the university will
work together. Five or six men will be
put in the field at once by the College
Of Agriculture and a similar number by
the Bureau Of the Soils The purpose
of the plan, as now outlined, is to
secure the fullest information regarding
the present character Of Wisconsin
soils and their needs as regards fertili
ty, drainage, and in other particulars.

Tree PLANTING Time.

The season for street tree planting
is at hand, and it is well to remember
that the best trees are young, thrifty
specimens from one to three feet high.
Under no circumstances plant any be-
low the minimum mentioned, and
those over three feet high should be
carefully examined, and If crooked or
gnarled and appearing as stunted do
not take them even without price; they
are not worth the planting.

This is a record equaled not even by
Miss May Sutton. the other California
tennis wonder, who won only the sim

victory over Mrs. Barger- Wallach was
a hollow one, she allowing last years

and one game In two sets.
In each case the victory was due to
superior play, with no fukes to mar it.

on long and necessarily fatiguing
Journey without getting rest first.
Oyster Bay has been for so many
years the summer capital Of the Unit
ed States that it Is hard to think Of
Beverly, Mass, as enjoying that dis
tinction. The Stetson cottage, which
the president rented for the summer,
Is on Woodbury's Point, fronting Mas

thickly settled part Of Beverly and
about nineteen miles from Boston.
The house, though called cottage, is
large but quite unpretentious dwell

standing in the midst Of spacious
grounds, its south side facing the bay.
From it's wide veranda an attractive
view In the direction of Marblehead Is
obtained.
The Stetson cottage is in easy motor
ing distance Of the Myopia Hunt club
at Hamilton, where Mr.. Taft when
ever he is at Beverly will have ut his
disposal an eighteen hole golf course,
covering some $50 acres Of land. Near
the end of Woodbury's Point Is a
small pier running out into deep wa
ter, which may be used as a landing
place. The government yacht Sylph,
commanded by Lieutenant Roger VIII

SO that 1t might be at the disposal Of
the president during the summer
