Wisconsin's Agricultural Future
Bright

That Wisconsin's dairymen will, in
the future, produce still more milk and
her cheese-makers and creamery men
will make more cheese and butter of
superior quality is the prediction of a
prominent Pennsylvania, who is fam
liar with dairying conditions in this
and other states. Every year the dairy
farmers of Wisconsin send an increas-
ing volume of milk to Chicago, but the
amount supplied by them he declared
in a recent communication to the editor
of Hoard's Dairyman, is small COM
pared with the total amount produced
in the state.
Almost one-half of the state is yet
undeveloped The northern half of
Wisconsin is naturally dairying coun-
try. Having driven over the old tote"
roads and seen where few stray Glow
err seeds sown by the woodsmen have
made fine growth by the roadside and
in the surrounding forest and under
brush. thus indicating the best possible
natural conditions for this crop, this
same writer confidently believes that
this grass loving country will some day
be devoted almost exclusively to the
production of milk. Dairying in Wis
consin. in his opinion, has received
powerful impetus by it's College of Ag-
riculture, it's different state associations
and by the grand old man of the dairy
industry, Ex-Governor w. D. Hoard.

April .-Correspondence relating to the International Harvester company came up again in the House to- day when presentative<Staney, chair man of the Steel trust Investigating com mittee, attacked the Roosevelt admins tration for it's attitude toward the cor poration. He placed in the record the minutes of the United States Steel corpor- ation, which he declared showed the steel officials were in touch with President Roosevelt and the commissioner of corpor- ation during 1906-19O7 MT. Stanley de- clared the country had been ediied and electrified by the revelations" but added they were not new to the Steel trust in- vestigating committeeman.
 Representative Jackson of Kansas, re- publican. insisted that President Taft had not proceeded against the Harvester com pany. although the Townsend report had been on file for some time in the depart ment of justice MT. Stanley declared that the department of justice had notified the Harvester company that it would be sued. and that the company had vol untarily come in and offered to reor- ganize.
 T understand now said MT. Stanley, '.that the governments proposals of dis solution so far made have not been ac- cepted by the company,s and that suit will be immediately brought by the gov ernment for dissolution of the corpora ton"
 The government. it is said, will file its suit against the Harvester company at Minneapolis, Minn., next Tuesday or Wednesday The Attorney General will follow il with a certificate of expedition. This will place the issue for trial inn mediately before the eighth circuit court.
