Experiments at University May Add

Fifty-two million dollars may be ad-
ded to the wealth Of Wisconsin as the
result OF experiments carried out la
mining laboratory OF the University
of Wisconsin on the merits Of Wiscon-
sin paint materials. One million tons
Of rock, containing these materials, it
is estimated, have for centuries been
lying idle in the southwest portion OF
Wisconsin.
Experiments by the university pro-
lessor developed the fact that he was
able to produce, from the same ore,
paints OF everp hue and color from
mahogany TO colonial oak. All Of them
proved to lie fast colors. Every color,
when placed next to the best i'm

WISCONSIN LEADS AT FAIR
BADGER Exhibit Commands Fixed At

tors

A. ID. Campbell, manager OF the
Wisconsin Advancement Association,
returned this morning from a four
DAYS trip to the Illinois state fair,
where Wisconsin exhibit is being
maintained under the direction Of
immigration Commissioner Packer
Mr. Campbell says that the Wiscon-
sin exhibit is attracting a great deal
of attention, in fact, more than that
of any other section. The front OF
the booth is lined with bushel bas-
kets of Wisconsin grains which are
being carefully examined by Illinois
farmers with comments that are ag-
reeable to the interests of the state.
While there is no competitive clas-
ses for exhibits from without I'LL
nois the management, out OF com
pliment to the quality of Wisconsin
grains, consented to Judge them and
give them a rating according to their
quality. These are the same grains
that took first award at the recent
exposition at Sioux City.
The Wisconsin booth has front
age of over thirty feet and is lined
practically all day by people who are
interested in home making opportun-
tiles. Mr.. Campbell has been at the
Illinois state fair for four successive
years and says that each year the
interest in Wisconsin has increased
Formerly there has been much talk
of the southwest, but this year none

lection to the climate that has pre-
vailed in the past. Many land deal

Two items in the exhibit that at
tracted much attention were at one
end a cheese cut to show the pro-
portion of the product in different
sections with AZ per cent in Wiscon'

cent in Michigan and the balance In

end of the booth charts showing the |
