The above makes no consideration
of the revolving funds, such as the
dormitories at Oshkosh Stevens Point
and Superior and the cafeteria, station
cry stand and special music courses.
Neither has any recommendation been
made for provision for extension work
by the normal schools. For this pnr-
pose $4,000 year is asked by each OF
the nine schools, but the matter has
been referred to b. b. buckingham,
statistician of the board, for further
consideration. The extension work
proposed is not academic, but relates
to the promotion of professional work
among the teachers.
Included in the capital items above
are provisions to meet requests for the
purchase Of lands S13l $50 for 1917
and S75,S50 for 1913. These items,
however have been referred TO the
state engineer, who will make sur
vey of the needs of both the normal
schools and the university with a
view to determining the ultimate needs
of the institutions in the way of added
areas.
The university also will ask for
funds to purchase lands, 100000 for
1917 and $34620 for 1913, principally
to secure purchases of tracts upon
which options now are held.
All these land purchase proposals
will be made the subject OF a supple
mentary report after the inyestiga-
ton.
For the purpose Of comparison il is
shown by the records that the actual
expenditures of the normal schools for
the year 1916 were

SUGAR INFECTION

Louisiana Expert Puts Blame
4 There For Deterioration Of
/. Sugars In Storage

w. l.. Owen. Of the Louisiana ex-
pertinent station, after studying the de-
lterioration Of sugars In transit and in
storage, has formed the conclusion that
most OF the Infection takes place in the
litter press. The micro. organisms
found in sugar do not predominate in
either the raw juice or on the leaves
OF the cane in the fields. staNf &tt
The deterioratiye organisms existed
only to the extent Of nineteen and Eve
tenths per cent in the raw juice as i.
came from the mill In sulphured
Juices they increased to forty.six per
cent, and in defacated juice to ninety
one and fve-tenths per cent. y
Professor Owen grew eighteen yarie-
ties Of bacteria and twenty yeasts from
sugar. There seemed to be a good deal
of variation in the deteriorative power
Of the different organisms. Sugars
from widely separated countries showed
10 greater variation than those from
adjoining plantations. ..@' ~."e,.7e
In his report he stated that "it ap-
lars that neither the moisture alone,
nor when used in conjunction with the
factor of safety, furnishes a reliable
criterion of the keeping quality Of a
sugar, but that its degree of infection
must also be taken into consideration. -
