U. Of w. Military Corps Well Developed

u. OF w. Military Corps Well Developed
While the nation is talking pre-
paredness, there has been developed
at the University of Wisconsin a mill
tary corps surpassed by the military
departments of no other college. Bet
ter shooting, a higher standard of drill,
and unusually fine equipment have
combined to put the student cadet
corps in the distinguished class
among the university military depart
ments, according to reports.
The university corps at Madison is
the only student body that has wire
less company. Their radio outfit con-
sists of two sections of 30-foot masts,
and the signal company is trained to
send either wireless Of Geographic
messages. Two new Colt automatic
machine guns, the field gun type, have
been added to the military department
this year.
The cadet regiments last spring
numbered 1,400 men, the fourth largest
body of student troops in the country.
There were "a companies, divided into
six battallions, differed by 100 stu
dents. These units, in addition to
a student band OF so pieces and sec
ond band of 80 pieces, were welded
into two regiments, commanded by two
colonies and six majors, all appointed
from the college body.
The regiments of the University Of
Wisconsin are equipped with modern
rifles of the Springfield type, model So,
having a velocity Of 5000 feet per
second They are the same model as
the 100000 rifles stored in government
arsenals.

WISCONSIN PARKS
WILL Be IMPROVED
Permanent Roads and Buildings
Prominent Features.
MANY FREES TO BE PLANTED
investment Of More Than 1921 900 Is
Represented in State Reserves
In Polk, Door, Sank and
Grant Counties.

Madison.-Some $500 Is to be ex-
pended the coming year by the Wis
consin conservation commission for
the improvement of the state parks, OF
which there are four in this state
Peninsula park, in Door county; Mar
Quette park, in Grant county; Devils
Lake park, in Sank county, and Inter
state park, in Polk county. The bet
terments will consist chiefly in max
ing permanent improvements in the
way Of roads and paths and the re-
pair of buildings. Most Of the work
will be done in Peninsula and Devils
Lake parks, for which $4,000 each has
been set aside, according to plans OF
the conservation commission.
The four state parks cover an area
of SAT- acres, or little more than ten
square miles, the largest being PENN
sula park, with 5000 acres.
All the parks border on rivers with
opportunities for boating, bathing and
fishing, and every effort is to be made
to give the people OF the state the full
est possible use and enjoyment OF
them
In Peninsula park work was begun
last year, clearing out and burning un-
derbrush and making roads, and the
state highway commission is building
three and One-half miles of macadam
road along the boundary line. In addi-
ton the plan provides for fine seen
ic road to skirt the shore of Green
bay part way and to ascend the high
est hills so as to afford the best views
from the park. Two nine-hole golf
links have been laid and a map Of the
park has been issued with the rules
and regulations printed thereon. Fiji
ty thousand young pine trees from the
state nursery at Front lake are to be
transplanted there.
Marquette park-so named because
it was from one of it's high points
that Father Marquette first viewed
the Mississippi provides views
Of both the Mississippi and Wisconsin
rivers from it's high bluffs.
In Devils Lake park work was start
ed last year. Plans for next summer
include the building of road along
the south bluff and also to improve a
portion of the road from the south
west corner of the lake to BarabOO.
About 10000 young pine trees will be
planted in the park.
The Interstate park covers the most
beautiful portion of the dells of the
st. Croix river. It is being cleared Of
underbrush and trails have been laid
out. Some $4,000 little pines are to
be transplanted there from Trout Lake
nursery.
The four state parks now represent
an investment by the state of $751;
57123, as follows: Interstate park,
$2O,571.5O; Peninsula park, 500, 18241:
Devils Lake park, $128,49744 Mar
quette park, $46,139.88.

Crops letter Than Average.

crops Eetter Than Average.
Wisconsin's crops this year have
been better than fhe average, actord-
ing to the monthly crop report of tho
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, D. c., which states that the 1878
yield is 1884 per cent of the Average
yields of recent years.
The corn crop is poor The yield per
acre was "A bushels, as compared with
q ten-year average Of 1872 bushels. 7 he
October forecast was OF a yield Of 40.-
$4,000 bushels. as compared with 8
yield of 69.862 600 for 1914. Expressed
in terms OF quality, the 1915 crop was
40 per cent, while the average crop in
ten years has been 81 per cent. The
crop is especially short and Of poor
quality i'll the area included in Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and
North Dakota" says the report.
Similar reports are made for buck
wheat. Wisconsin f1axseed is about UP
to normal in quality, though some
what short as to quantity.
The states crop of potatoes Is not
as good as the average, the yield per
acre being 80 bushels against an aver
age OF 100 bushels, while the October
forecast indicates production of 3d.
468,000 bushels against a 1914 produc-
ton of 377.t96,00O bushels, and the
crop is Of IS per cent quality, as
against ten-year average of SO per
cent.
The same may be said Of the tobac-
co crop. The yield per acre for ten
acre average is 1000 pounds The Oc-
tober forecast was for total produc-
ton of 35,076,000 pounds, while in 1911 4
the production was 53,808,00O pounds.
The 1915 crop was of go per cent
quality as against a ten-year average
Of SO per cent, but If 1915 was a poor
year for some small grains in WiscOn-
sin it was a good year for the fruits.
The reports on apples. pears and
cranberries show improvement over
1914 both in quantity and quality, but
Wisconsin grapes appear to have suf-
fered. improvements are shown also
in the crOrs of field peas, sugar beets,
oats and barley, while the crop of
wheat and clover seed seems to have
suffered
While most of the twelve important
onion growing states appear to have
had a smaller crop in 1915 than in
1914, Wisconsin reverses, the rule

tivation as compared with 1924 acres

To inspect Stock for Shipment.

One of the important acts passed
by the last Legislature was chapter
625, providing for the establishment
of system of appointing veterinari
ans for inspection of stock for inter
state shipment 1t also provides a
penalty for anyone who makes an in
spectiOn for interstate shipment with
out having authority to do so from the
Wisconsin department OF agriculture.
Under the previous system no one
was designated 70 tS~ke charge OF this
work.
II provides that the live stock saniL
tary board may compel the attend
ance of witnesses i'll all it's inyestiga-
tiOns.
1t further provides that where evil
dence is procured that shippers use
questionable methods IN the handling
Of their cattle the right to inspection
shall be withdrawn from such firms.
Considerable criticism has been di-
rected against the live stock sanitary
board in the past owing to its iaabil-
itv to enforce certain measures which
seem to be required of It, said Doctor
EliasOn, state veterinarian. There is
no likelihood of such criticism being
heard in the future. The live stock
sanitary board already has acted in
three cases and is conducting inves
LEGATIONS of several more. 1t is the
determination Of this department to
place the live stock industry Of Wis,
cOnsin beyond reproach."
