enough to settle the dust and surely
very insufficient to reach the roots OF
the corn, the point where life and
growth emanate. 1t is true that the
precipitation was most bounteous

is that Jupiter Pluvius did not allow

A Soil Survey

DR.. X. c. Allen, state geoogist. and
members Of his staff have just com
pleted a very exhaustive soil survey cf
the upper peninsula and have graph
cally portrayed the results of their
years of labor on a big soil survey map
of the district. In the preparation Of
this soil survey, members OF the state
~geologist's staff have tramped every
square mile OF the upper peninsula's
area.
As q result Of this exhaustive and
scientific exploration. the state geolo-
gist makes the startling declaration
that. in proportion to it's size, the upper
peninsula has more tillable a%gricultur-
al land thar the lower peninsula. This
startling declaration, the state geolo-
gist Is prepared 10 prove by indisput-
able data. This scientific veriication
OF the claims being made by the lead
ing men OF the peninsula in its agri.
cultural possibilities Is very gratifying
and will be most useful in the cam
paign conducted by the Upper PENN
