New system win Save Money.


The uniform accounting system now
being worked out by the state
board of education for the institutions
under its supervision will make
the administration of each school a
unit of the entire state educational
system
This statement was made by Theo-
dore Kronshage, Jr., member Of the
board of normal regents, in explain
ing the plans of the state board of
education.
The new system will be far reach
ing. 1t not only is intended to place
the state educational institutions OIL a
strictly efficient business basis, but it
leads the way to reforms which will
mean a large annual saving to the
state. Mr. Kronshage said.
Mr.. Kronshage cited one instance
where a firm gives six per cent dis
count for cash in ten days, which the
state cannot take advantage of under
the present methods. but which will
be possible under the new auditing
system.
The system will pave the way, too,
to a purchasing system, where all
materials and supplies used in all state
educational institutions will be bought
together, thus giving the state the adj
vantage of the small unit price for
each material which large purchases
insure.

State SOIL Inventory.

To take a complete inventory OF
the soils in the older sections as
well as in the undeveloped re
gions, IS the job that has been cut
out for the soils department, Universe.
ty of Wisconsin, working in co-opera-
ton with the Wisconsin geological
and natural history survey and the
bureau of soils of the United States
department of agriculture.
Realizing that thorough knowi
edge of soils and what crops each
kind is adapted to is as essential to a
business farmer under present-day
conditions as a knowledge of mer'
ehandise and salesmanship is to the
storekeeper the legislature has com
missioned these departments to sur
vey the soils OF the state.
These surveys include the prepare
tion Of a soil map showing the loca-
ton and extent of the different types
of soil in a given area. and a descrip-
tive report which gives the names of
ALI the soils, the extent of their de-
velopment, conditions of fertility,
topography of the land. and other
things that may help to determine the
agricultural resources. The surveying
is done by trained men who examine
the soil to the depth of SO inches or
more, and who list the different types
according to texture of the soil grains,
surface features. amount of organic
matter, and evident origin.
The work of the soil survey is of
two kinds, In the thinly settled. new
" developed regions the work is gen.
eral. while in the th.ckly settled coun-
ties in the central and southern parts
of the state the survey is made in
greater detail. even showing varia-
tions in soil type on a piece of land
ten acres or over in area.
Various state institutions are now
receiving more than one hundred let
ters day inquiring about soil con-
ditions in the northern counties OF
Wisconsin. which shows the import
ance of the preliminary soil surveys
in the region ready for settlement.
A. r. Whitson and w. J. Geib of
Madison. who are directing the work,
report that up to the present time
preliminary or general surveys have
been completed on more than $4,000
square miles. or about 81 per cent Of
the entire state Detailed surveys
have extended over total of 1894
square miles or about II per cent of
the state. This makes 1895 square
miles. or 6S per cent of the total area,
which has been surveyed.
The northern half of the state has
been given a general soil survey, so
that the work of the entire force will
now be directed in detail work in the
southern half of the state not yet sur
veyed. In time. all portions of Wis
consin will be carefully covered by de-
tailed surveys and soil maps on a
scale of one inch to the mile will be
available for general distribution.

STRAWBERRY CONTEST.

We did not expect, when we an
nounced last week that Mr.. Oliver
McLain had brought in quart of
fine strawberries, with just 36 ber-
ries in the quart, that such announce
ment would start a strawberry con-
test, neither were we aware that such
fine specimens of this fruit were
grown in this vicinity.
Mrs. J. NJ. Biddle was the first to
contest Mr.. McLain's championship
with box of red beauties that count
ed out just 80 to the quart; next came
C. C. Kimerer with a quart box filled
by 80 berries and Mr.. S. J. Flory has
tied Mr.. Kimerer for first place with
box of the delicious fruit very even
in size and color and containing 80
berries.
We have seen strawberries from
many different states and from many
different localities but never before
have we seen as beautiful and as finely
favored fruit as these specimens
grown here in our own county. II

ries are far superior to the shipped
