Between GraysviIIe and Rock
Branch.

Extensive work, and good work too,
has been done on the Darlington road
between Graysville and Rock Branch.
Whoever travelled that way for years
past without thinking that such work
was needed? The roadway, formerly
very narrow and dangerous, has been
so graded and widened out that travel
there is both safe and pleasant. Some
culverts have been put in to carry the
water under and off the road. The
work would not perhaps be called per
manent. But are there any permanent
roads? They all need care and atten-
tion. The first step and the most
important step in road making in this
section is unwatering and proper
grading.
John D. Bennett was the foreman
and supervised the work.

new ACID PLANT
Now In 0peratIon.--- First Ship
ment on Tuesday.

The first shipment of sulphuric acid
from the new works of the Mineral
Point Zinc company was made on Tues
day, when a tank of about 10000
pounds was sent to Senter, Michigan,
for the Atlas Powder company. The
output of the new plant, for the pres
ent, will be about twenty five tons of
sulphuric acid daily. Shipments will
be made i'll new tanks, each of from 80
to 40 tons capacity.
The plant has been under construc-
ton for several months. and involves a
large outlay of capital and labor. 1t is
now in successful operation, and it is
said that the acid fumes are under
absolute control.

COMMUNITY INSTITUTE WORK

The big need of the town or the city
as the center of the community which
includes all the surrounding district for
which it is the natural trading or ship
ping center is the fundamental idea on
which the program of the successful
community institute is built. That
need may be the development of better
trading relations between the farmer
and the storekeeper; it may be the es-
tablishment of new water or sewer
system, disposal of garbage, the consol-
idation of schools, medical inspection in
the schools, better administered
health department, the paving of streets
or the building of a bridge over a river
dividing the two districts of the town
as was the case at De Pere which has
just held it's second community insti
tute. Whatever the need or the prob
residents of the community are most
concerned at the time, that need and it's
problem are the center around which
the entire institute revolves. Expert
speakers in that specific line are secured
and practical solutions of the problem
are discussed so thoroughly that def
mite action by the community generally
follows the close of the institute.
Bloomington, for instance gives the
community institute credit for the in
centive which resulted in it's new water
system. For years effort to secure a
system had failed through conflict of
opinion. Then came the community
institute and the get together spirit.
An expert engineer from the University
of Wisconsin Extension Division
studied the local situation and suggest
ed the program, fitted to Bloomington S
special needs, which resulted in the
new plant.
In New London the business men
were stimulated to action to meet the
mail order problem. Osseo has a fine
new consolidated school due they say to
the influence of two institutes and it is
likewise giving attention TO the subject
of sewage disposal. Amery established
public Fairgrounds, completed plans
for sewer system, and secured the
development of better business rela-
tion between the farmers and the busi-
ness men. Cuba City has consummated
a street paving plan and Menomonee
Falls has organized social center, q
choral union, and a home economics
study club. At Mineral Point the
Woman's club organized movement
for identifying the city and opened {
rest room for farmers wives in the Ii
brary building.

OHIO S NEW DEAN

Under the above heading, The Ohio
Farmer, published at Cleveland, gives
Professor Alfred Vivian, the new dean
of the Ohio agricultural college, the
following notice.
Dean Vivian is we'll known. In Ohio and
near by states he has a particularly wide ac-
quaintance. not alone through the work of out
standing quality that he has done at the Ohio
State University but through the many public
addresses that he has delivered and through his
writings. He is particularly well known to
readers of The Ohio Farmer through the admir-
able series of articles that he wrote during his
tour around the world in 1923.
He was born at Mineral Point, Wis, March
A. 1857 graduated from the University Of Wis
consin In 1891 and was associated with Prof. s.
M. Babcock in the department of agricultur
chemistry of that great university from the
time Of his graduation until he came to the
Ohio State University in 1902. He was closely
identified with the development Of the Babcock
milk test from it's inception
In his new capacity Dean Vivian will proba-
bly continue that part Of his work that he loves
best-the education of younger students in the
elements of agriculture as taught by agricul-
tural chemistry. His book, First Principles of
Soil Fertility is a standard with students of
agriculture and with practical farmers. The
advanced work of the department Of agricultur
al chemistry will probably be turned over to
others.
Dean Vivian is rare character. He is far
sighted and broad minded; of dignified though
winning personality; recognized figure in the
world Of science; writer Of unusual clearness
and beauty of style; capable executive and a
man of high ideals.

SHORTAGE OF CARS
Light Shipments of Stock Out of
Mineral Point In Consequence.

Only fifteen cars of stock have been
shipped so far this week from the
Mineral Point station. The cause Of
light shipments is shortage of stock
cars. There is a shortage of at least
fifteen cars here, and there is general
shortage on the Mineral Point division
of the c. M. & St. P. There is imme
diate call for one hundred stock cars
that cannot be furnished. Heavy ship
ments are being made over all lines,
hence the shortage of cars.

ROCK BRANCH ROAD IMPROVED

That portion of the Darlington road
lying in the city limits of Mineral Point
has been regarded and surfaced with
macadam. 1t has long been in bad con
