not know what constitutes the best
value in fertilizers, the dealer may in
crease his profits, also may be saving
the farmer dollar or two on his pur-
chase. but, unless the fertilizer pos
eesses the agricultural value, that is,

the best results in the field, it is a

Inspect Farm sites.

Ten of the sites offered for the pro-
posed county agricultural school were
visited and inspected by Dean Harry
l.. Russell of the University of Wis
consin agricultural college, State SUI
perintendent c. p. Cary, and the spe-
cial committee from the county board.
The Wells farm was one Of the first
inspected, and the committee, with the
two visitors, went over this very care
fully. Other sites inspected were in
West Allis, Lake, Greenfield, Cudahy
and South Milwaukee.
In about a week or ten days another
trip will be made through the north
ern part of the county.
AS the school will be constructed
under the joint supervision of the
state unive, sity and the county board,
Dean Russell Will take an active in
terest in al the preliminary work. His
expert knowledge and his long ex-
perience fit him best of all those in
terested to select the site best adapt
ed to the requirements OF the school,
and the final choice Of site will be
left largely with him.

in the United States there are fifty
seven sugar-beet factories working
three months each year, grinding,
boiling and squeezing the sugar out
Of nearly forty thousand tons of beets
every working day, but this does not
near fill our wants. These facts ought
10 be encouraging to beet-growers
Thorough cultivation is an import
ant factor in producing good sugar
beets. 1t is a common saying among
Germans that the sugar must be
Loed into the beet"
In no time of its life should a SUI
gar beet be allowed to stop growing
for if it once becomes stunted it is
doubtful whether it will ever make
as good a beet as it would have been
under conditions of continuous
growth.
Another way the beet has been i'm
proved is by increasing its sugar con-
tent. This has been done without in
cTeasing the size of the beet
If a largely increased yield of beets
Is combined with a much higher SUI
gar content it is entirely possible to
obtain three times as much sugar per
acre as is produced on an average at
the present time.

AMENDMENT
MAY Be SUBMITTED
VOTERS NEED NOT AWAIT SEC
OND ACTION OF STATE
LEGISLATURE.
AT THE NOVEMBER ELECTION
Secretary Of State Frear VIII Submit
% the Voters the Amendment to
the Constitution Proposed by
the Legislature Of 1907.

Madison.-Attorney Gilbert notified
Secretary Of State Frear that the pro-
| posed water power amendment to the
state constitution should be submitted
to vote of the people at the Novem-
! Der election, notwithstanding that the
measure has been acted upon by the
| legislature but once.
An amendment to the constitution
| requires two passages of the legisla-
| ture and the sanction of a majority
of the voters of the state in a regular
| election.
This amendment has once passed
the legislature and came up a second
| time, when action was deferred pend
ing the report of a special committee.
The committees report having
! been submitted and the second action
not having been taken the question
arose whether the amendment could
be submitted In the election next No
/ vember.
The attorney general held that the
second action of the Legislature might
| follow the election, and also pointed
out that there is a slight possibility
of a special session.
1t was necessary to decide the Ques-
| ton at this time in order to make
| preparations for the election.
Secretary of State Frear will there
| fore submit to the voters at the No
yember election the amendment to
! the constitution proposed by the legs-
| lature Of 1907 and now pending before
the legislature of 1909, providing that
the state may appropriate moneys
for the purpose of acquiring, preserv-
ing and developing the water powers
and forests of the state; but there
shall not be appropriated under the
authority of this section in any one
! year an amount to exceed two-tenths
of one mill of the taxible property OF
the state, as determined by the last
preceding assessment"
Thus the matter is temporarily de-
| termined. If no special session of the
| legislature Of 1909 is held, then, even
! if the people vote their approval, the
amendment falls and the purpose ar
rived at in the proposal can only be
brought about by beginning all over
again, passing a resolution through
| two legislatures and again submitting
il to the people. Should there be a
special session of the legislature after
| the November election, then there
might be a question as to whether
the approval Of the people, given be
fore legislative action, would make
the amendment good That might be
a question for the supreme court.
