From close observation of the habits
of the young Maori men in training In
Auckland (New Zealand) for active
service, it appears that the modern
Maori has inherited. almost un!m-
paired, the genius for practical forag
ing which was one of the vital qualiti-
cations of his forefathers in the siren
uous struggle for existence. They have
secured the country in the neighbor-
hood of the camp and won cells by the
score from places where the white
man never dreamed there was any edi-
BILE wealth at all.
The ability of the sturdy Maori re
cruits to assimilate cOmestibles is
constant source of wonder to his pale
brethren.

State Soil inventory.


To take complete inventory OF
the soils in the older sections as
well IS 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 a thorough knowl-
edge OF soils and what crops each
kind is adapted to is as essential to
business farmer under present-day
G nditions as a knowledge of mer
chandise and craftsmanship is 10 the
storekeeper the legislature has com
mtssioned these departments to sur
vey the soils of the state
These surveys include the prepare
tion of a soil map showing the loca-
tion and extent of the different types
of soil IN a given area, and a descrip-
tive report which gives the names o.
AT 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 26 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
ly 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-
tons 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
tiers a 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, Det%iled surveys
have extended over a 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 he
available for general distribution.
