Want Husky students for course.

"You can't teach a man not to be q.
tenderfoot," said Prof. A M. Cook Of
the department of forestry in the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, In discussing the
work done in the forest rangers course
in the college of agriculture.
I'VE want farm lads to enter the
course" he continued, husky young
fellows who have driven teams and
chopped wood on their fathers home
steads, young men who can endure ex-
posture to the weather whether it is 40
below or 80 in the shade, and who car
take care of themselves when mothers
and sisters aren't around. We want
young fellows who are familiar with
all kinds of manual labor, who are not
afraid to work-those who are not de-
luded with the idea that a range is
summer resort"
The aim of the course in forestry in
the University of Wisconsin is to train
men for work in the forest reserves
and state parks. Practical courses are
given in the theory of seeding and
planting, with field practise at the state
nurseries at Trout lake, in Villas coun-
ty, and at Tomahawk lake, in Oneida
county
The demand for trained men in for
est service, both state and federal, is
increasing as forestry is becoming
more and more exact science, and as
the necessity for scientific manage
ment of the forests is more keenly
realized. Former cruisers and lumber
jacks are invaluable in many ways as
rangers, for their experience, good
judgment, long intimacy with the con-
ditions of camp life and acquaintance
with the region have made them ex-
perts in woodcraft. They are usually.
however, men who have not had the
benefit of much schooling, nor has
their way of life given them much
chance for acquiring scientific knowl-
edge such as is needed in preparing
careful reports and maps.

WISCONSIN LEADS

Acres Each Year.

Soil and Climate Ideal for Growing
University Experiment Station at
Ashland Giving Considerable
Attention to Harvest.

Observation-Disclosures ranks first in
the production of canning of dry peas.
In 1909, according to the census of
1910, Michigan was slightly ahead of
Wisconsin in point of acreage. The
production of dry peas has decreased
In the eastern states during the first
decade of the present century. Maine
produced nearly thirty-siX thousand
bushels in 1899 and produced less than
five thousand bushels in 1909. In New
York the production fell from PSI, $50
bushels in 1899 to 71,486 bushels in
1909, or less than one-third Of the pro-
duction in 1899. The province of On
tario in Canada is heavy producer Of
peas, the bulk of the crop, which
amounts to about thirteen million BUSH
els yearly, being used principally for
stock feed Peas are mostly grown in
localities which possess a cool climate.
The pea plant likes cool weather; 1t
may also take the place of corn where
this crop does not do well because the
summers are not warm enough. In
Wisconsin the distribution is about on
the same principles, for the counties
which produce the largest amounts
also have a cool summer climate.
Door county, for instance, produses
nearly one-third of the dry pea crop,
while Manitowoc and Kewaunee are
also heavy producers. These three
counties have long growing season
with cool summers. Soil, too, has a
great influence on the distribution Of
the crop. All the important pea-pro-
ducing counties in Wisconsin possess
q heavy soil for the most part. The
ten leading pea-producing counties in
Wisconsin in 1909 are:

State Workers Let Out.

The Wisconsin state railroad COM
mission has decided to discharge a
large number of its extra" clerks and
two Of it's regular clerks because the
appropriation of $183,000 made by the
last legislature to maintain the COM
mission would be insufficient If TIE
force were not reduced.
1t Is explained by Chairman Roemer
Of the commission that it has become
necessary to put a large part OF the
force upon work in the engineering
department and that, inasmuch as the
extra help could not be employed
in this work, the present action was
followed. Mr. Roemer made the fol-
lowing statement:
During the last nine months there
has been an extraordinary volume of
work placed upon the commission
The last legislature greatly increased
this work by the enactment of numer-
Gus laws and, in order to administer
all of them, there is now imposed upon
the commission large amount of ad-
ditional work, and 1t has become nee
essary to increase the force Of the en-
gine3ring department and the rate de-
partlnent.
"The auditing Of all the bills of
shippers, as required by the new law,
has kept the tariff department busy
We have discovered that we could not
carry our entire force to the end of
the year on our limited appropriation.
I'VE will have no difficulty in keep
ing within our appropriation, but can
not be expected to turn out business
as rapidly as desired"

Milwaukee Gets Hospital Corps.

Surgeon General Gilbert e. Sea-
man of the Wisconsin National
Guard has received the official orders
from the state headquarters at Madi-
son in relation to the formation of a
hospital corps at Milwaukee.
The field hospital is to consist Of a
maximum of one major, four captains
and lieutenants, three sergeants, first
class; six sergeants and corporals and
48 privates. 1t is TO be fully equipped
for the field and, like the rest of the
National Guard, ready for instant serv
ice
1t is the purpose Of the state, in d.
recting the organization of this field
hospital, not only to comply with the
requests of the United States war de-
partment and thus be fulfilling its po-
sition as the reserve of the regular
army, but to be ready for service with
in the state in times of need. When
the Dayton flood created condition
of need the field hospital corps of the
regular army did valiant service 1t is
the aim that this state field hospital
be in readiness to do like service
whenever fire, or flood, or other cause
makes such service necessary.
Naturally at this time the federal
authorities are anxious" Doctor Sea-
man said, ito have every detail
of military equipment and organi-
cation in smooth running order in case
it becomes necessary to send men into
Mexico on short orders. Therefore 1t
is urging the states to complete their
organizations, but SO far as the state
is concerned 1t is recognized that the
call of humanitarianism is likely to be
heard at any time. 1t desires to have
on hand a force of trained men who
can and will move at once to the place
needed, there to render such aid as
can be given only by disciplined and
organized forces. There have been
