of the country has been SO retarded
that few>of them have been completed
and none of them are believed to be
paying. Most of those that are in
operation at all run for only part
of the year. The consequence is that
the travel and freighting in Alaska to-
day is in almost as primitive state
as it was during the Russian occupa-
ton. Men pack goods and supplies for
days upon their backs to reach point
after point which should be connected
by busy railroads.; pack trains OF
horses and dog sleds are used. boats
of various kinds and sizes and even
OK teams are employed to carry pro-
visions throughout the great territory.
The freight rates are of course ire
mendous, and the cost of even the ne
cesSities of life is SO great as to ap-
pear fabulous to the people of the
United States. The consequence is
that the price of labor is terrific and
only the richest mining properties can
be worked. Deposits of gold, silver,
copper and other minerals are pleni-
full, besides great areas underlain with
fine coal Many of these deposits
would be considered of great richness
in the United States, but in Alaska,
because of the enormous cost incident
to their development they lie idle;
idle they will remain until transporta-
ton, the real key to the situation, Is
provided All depends primarily on
the construction of railroads. Will the
railroads be built? This is the ques-
ton now before congress.

How Is This for Realism?

Certain rice fields in Japan were
at one time devastated by some I'M
known horse which could not be track
ed. One night the farmers lay in
wait; the horse appeared but eluded
it's pursuers After patiently waiting
for several nights they succeeded in
following and saw him disappear
through a temple door The pursuers
entered but could not find the horse;
finally he appeared on the wall in a
celebrated picture all foaming and
still painting from pursuit. The far
mers were at loss to know what to
do. Thereupon they consulted certain
wise men in the district, who, not
wishing to destroy the picture, finally
sent for the artist who painted it..
The painter studied for moment.
then silently went away and returned
with his paint brush and painted q
halter and hitching post in the pic
ture. Thereafter the horse remained

Fair Bars Exhibit.

GIT RAIS G%itibtA'
The request of the Wisconsin
Anti Tuberculosis association an0
the extension division of the Unk
versity of Wisconsin for permission tc
install an exhibit at the state fair was
denied by the state fair board at a
meeting on the grounds.
A committee consisting of DR.. G. A.
KietZsch of Milwaukee. Mrs. AIDA F.
HOWE of Elm Grove and George F..
Cummings of Eau Claire reported
against the proposition for the reason
that the anti-tuberculosis association
would be unable to defray the expense,
The committee felt that the expense
should not be borne by the board.
After the report of the committee
was presented Dr. Hoyt e. Dearholt,
representing the anti-tuberculosis as
sociation. withdrew the application
and said the association probably
would be able to pay for the installas
ton of an exhibit next year.
The offer of r. l.. Kenyon of Wau
kesha to install a portable village to
house officials and the general public
was accepted Nothing is paid for the
privilege of putting in the houses, but
it is agreed that the prices charged
will be reasonable.
The village will consist of canvas
houses of various sizes, and will be in
the grove in the southwest corner OF
the grounds, where the tents, which
fbe houSeS will rpnlacp have been
pitched One of the houses will have
eight small rooms and large assem-
bly, room Reservations may be made
by the general public.
A committee consisting of Thomas
SAKE Dr. Kletzsch and George Il
Kuntz, all OF Milwaukee, was appoint
ed to work for the. Improvement OF the
road from Milwaukee to the grounds
The Blue Mound road has just been
put in condition, and there is only q
short stretch of road that needs atten
ton.
At the Hotel Blatz the board dis
cussed the matter of additional space
that allotted some of the departments
having been exhausted. The Milwau
kee Country School of Agriculture and
Domestic Economy will have an ex
hibit in the grandstand which also

Forbidden to Train Teachers.

Forbidden to rain SaCnSTS.
Attorney General w. C. Owen ruled
in response to an inquiry from State
superintendent C. P. Cary that board
OF education of high school district
cannot lawfully establish and main
tain at its own expense a training
course for teachers in such school.
Furthermore, under chapter 300,
laws Of 1913, no high school board in a
county containing a county or joint
county training school for teachers
can lawfully establish a training
course for teachers in its high school
The attorney general, however, held
that the conditions prescribed in chap
ter sos. laws OF 1918, did not interfere
with training courses established and
approved by the state superintendent
OF public instruction before the enact
trent of such chapter
IN counties having county or Joint
county training schools for teachers
any free high school district may, I'M
der approval of the state superintend-
en-, of public instruction. establish and

ers aud receive an amount of state aid
equal to the amount expended by it

Establishes Soil Laboratory.

Methods to be employed in the es-
tablishment and operation of the new
state soils laboratory are the princi'
pal subjects of consideration at pres
emit to the soils department of the
University of Wisconsin's college OF
agriculture. Prof. A. r. Whitson, in
charge of the work, is also making
provisions for the work of the de.
partment in relation to the organiza-
ton of drainage districts.
Possibilities of great financial bene
fit to the farmers of this laboratory
are almost unlimited. Part Of the
work will be to examine in the field,
land belonging to individual farmers
and to make such chemical analyses
as may be necessary to determine
lines of treatment best adapted for
the maintenance and increase of soil
fertility OF course in this connec-
ton the laboratory will aid the farm
er in developing whatever system OF
crops may be suitable to his land.
While THIS department has carried
on much extension work in the past
especially In conducting crop expert
ments with individual farms, this is
the first time provision has been
made for field analysis. The law re-
quires a five-dollar charge for the ex~
animation of 100 acres or less and a
single soil analysis. For the exam
ination of additional tracts and for
additional analysis the rate is three
dollars. But when five or more farm
ers in a community unite in their re
quest for the laboratory's service the
department must make field examina-
ton and soil analysis at the rate or
three dollars per individual and also
to send representative to the COM
munity, after this work has been
done, who will give a complete ex-
PLANTATION of the results of the chem
ical study and discuss with the farm
ers practical plans for soil improve
ment and crop increase.
The last legislature also revised
the drainage laws of the state in ref
erence to the organization of districts
and the construction of town bitches.
| This revision aimed at reduction in
| the time and expenses now involved
in the organization of districts. The
new law requires that citizens desir-
! ing to organize a drainage district
must make application to the circuit
court and attach to this application
! an itemized statement of the cost OF
the survey and a report by the col
Iege of agriculture outlining the quail
ity of the soil, the feasibility of drain
ing, probable benefits to accrue, ano
/ the probable cost of the project. This
| will necessitate careful field investf
/ cations of the proposed drainage dis
tricts by representatives from his
! soils department
