The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1912-10-10

For several years, students Of the
four-yepr course in agriculture of the
Uriversit. Of Wisconsin have been re-
quired to have had six months practi-
cal farm experience before graduation.
Heretofore, in the two-year course, no
farm experience has been required,
but from this time on, such students
must have had years work on the
farm before entering the second year.
1t is expected that this improvement
in the two-year course will attract stu
dents who desire 10 return to the farm
and practice up-to-date methods of
agriculture.
That cows like silage better than
green soiling crops and give more milk
when fed silage has been shown by
careful experiments conducted at the
College of Agriculture of the Univer.
sity Of Wisconsin. Larger yields of
siage than of soiling crops can be
grown per acre and silage may be gath
cred in the fall instead of in the sum-
mer when other farm work is more
pressing. Two silos are now being
filled at the dairy barn of the College
of Agriculture. One of these is 10 #.
80 TT. with capacity of $50 tons.
The silage in this will be used for
winter feeding while that in a smaller
one will be used when pasture gets
short next summer.
A special potato exhibition train will
be run on the 500 line in northern and
central Wisconsin this fall. The car
will be devoted exclusively to the po-
tato industry and will contain an ex-
tensive exhibit of the commercial
varieties OF potatoes raised in Wiscon-
sin. Other exhibits demonstrating the
control of potato diseases, use of fer
tilizers, etc, will be included. This
car will go through the undeveloped
sections of northwestern and north
central Wisconsin, where commercial
potato growing is making rapid head
way. The tour will close in the older
potato sections of Waupaca, Portage.
and Waushara counties. At Waupaca
a state potato growers association will
be organized. Arrangements have
been made to secure representation
and exhibits from the leading CONNER
cial potato growing centers in the state
for the Waupaca meeting. The car
will be in charge of Prof. J. G. Mil
ward of the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin.
After all, Pierpont Morgan is big
man.
The crowd that gathered to hear him
testify before the Senate Investigating
Committee came to scott and remained
to applaud. They were critical at first;
they gave him an ovation when he
left.
He answered all questions frankly
and with every appearance of SINGER
ity. Evidently nothing that he has
done has injured his self-respect.
Morgan is a man who is imaginative
and emotional as well as intellectual.
That he is patriotic, as he understands
patriotism, he has proved on various
occasions. He has made millions of
money, but then he is a man of gigan-
tic ability, and it has been the glory of
this country that here gigantic SER
vices command gigantic rewards.
This is, of course. a one sided view of
the man. But it is a view of one side
of him. The muckraker is like death
in that he loves shining mark To
make any accurate estimate of the
man who throws hundred-thousand
dollar checks around lightly it is nee
essary to contrast the facts mentioned
above with those the muckraker sup
plies.--EX.
