Madison.-Wisconsin farmers are
winning more of the most coveted
awards offered at the national corn
show now being held in Dallas, Tex,
than are the grain growers of any
OF the other thirty-seven states or
foreign countries competing.
Although the judging has not as
yet been completed, members of the
Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment
association are demonstrating their
ability to inject all corners" in the
production OF seed grain, and are
making an enviable record III blue
and purple ribbon winning.
Although somewhat handicapped
by a wet ana unfavorable season,
they succeeded, the last year, in pro-
ducing plumper brighter and cleaner
grain than did the competitors who
enjoyed better climatic conditions.
Wisconsin exhibitors Have already
won worlds championship on buck
wheat, soy beans and six rowed bar
ley, and a grand championship open
to all varieties on ten ears of yellow
dent corn.
In addition to these trophies Wis
consin farmers took grand champion
ships for the northern zone on ten
ears of yellow dent corn, ten ears OF
flint corn, winter wheat, and the

SUPERIOR OPPOSES
LAKE LEVEL RAISE
FEAR THAT PROPOSED PROJECT
WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF
MILLIONS.
OBJECT TO DAM IN ST. MARYS
Believe Wind Would Cause lnundation
OF Docks at Superior and Duluth
and Drown fduch Valuable
Property.

Superior.-Through its CONNER
cial club the city of Superior has
gone on record as unalterably oppos-
ed 10 raising the level of Lake Super
tor by means of q power dam in st.
Mary's river at Sault Ste. Marie. The
ngnt may have to be carried to the
floor OF congress as it is said that
body favors the proposed project,
says the Superior Telegram.
The seriousness of the matter is
discussed by Caps. E. D. Peck, in
charge of the United States engineers
for the local district. He states:
THE lake levels as proposed have no
relation 20 abnormal conditions of
lake level as produced by barometric
pressure, direction and velocity of
the wind, but relate TO normal level
only"
This means, that in addition to
having the level of the lake raised
two feet for five months of the year,
there would still remain to be con-
sidered the additional raise in the
harbor water levels caused by the
conditions alluded, 20 by Capt. Peck.
At the present time during north
east gale, the water level in the har-
Dor is frequently as much as eigh-
teen inches, and even more, above
the normal level
With the normal level two feet
higher to begin with, and this UNI
usual height caused by the wind driv-
ing the water from the lake into the
harbor the level would be nearly four
feet higher than the present normal
level. This would be sufficient to in
undate practically every dock on the
Superior and Duluth water front.
