largely make up'for the shortage in
wheat and fax and the shortage will
stimulate the diversified farming
movement still more"

g discovered some interesting phenom
ena in regard to the lake region dul

most startling one made Is that tn
l. eastern bay of the lake, which som
years ago was cut off from the mai
body of water, is at present one foo
Is and ten inches below the main bod
Of the lake. The reason for this di
s. ference is believed to be due to tn
