ton of the Acknowledgements cleo
trio lighting plants, for which the Web

farm.

Some of the Brown county farmers
declare they will oppose the digging of
the big ditch over west and will carry
the case to the Supreme court if neces-

although the state engineer and other
experts assured them that such would
not be the case. 1t is big project and
the outcome will be watched with inter-
