Active Farmers Champion.

These efforts toward the improve
ment of rural conditions were instances
of the energetic way in which Dean
Henry, during his active career, work
ed for the upbuilding and recognition
of the business of farming. His inter
est in Wisconsin farming dates back to
June, 1880, when he was elected pro-
fessor of botany at the University of
Wisconsin. The establishment Of the
Wisconsin agricultural experiment
station was the first direct result of
this interest.
When Dean Henry took charge of
the Wisconsin college of agriculture it
had small farmhouse, two ordinary
barns, a little live stock. few tools
and a few armfuls of books on agri-
culture. From this nucleus he has
seen it grow into an institution which
has not only increased immensely in
size but even more greatly in it's value
to the farmers of the state which it
serves.
Since his retirement from the college
of agriculture in 1907 he spends most
of his time on his sons farm in Con-
necticut, not failing, however, to pay
occasional visits to the institution to
which he gave the best years of his
life.

Urqed Parcel Post.

Just eight years ago circulars, news
paper articles, bulletins, letters and
copies of prospective speeches were
flowing in a stream from the office Of
Dean Henry. The agitation for a par
eel post was at it's height. The result
of the agitation was parcel post with
the weight of packages limited to four
pounds.
The very next year Dean Henry
was hard at work again urging farmers
to write to their congressman in favor
of more comprehensive parcel post
law. He travelled to Washington, sent
more circulars and letters broadcast
over the states and cO-Operated with
other prominent men in urging in
every way new parcel post law. The
result of all these efforts was new
weight limit of twenty pounds.
The parcel post made good, but Dean
Henry was not yet completely satisfied.
Once more he stepped into the ring to
convince congress that all attempts to
fix rates and other details of parcel
post regulation should BE left to the
post office department, and not to con-
gress, which had thousands of other
bills to consider in it's sessions.

Secretary Tells Committee Why
Strength of Army Was Put at
100000 Men.

Provisions of the Army reorganiza-
ton act fixing the peace-time strength
of the Regular Army at approximate
ly 100000 men are mandatory and
leave no discretion to anybody" Sec
rotary Baker told the House military
committee yesterday. explaining his ac-
ton in ordering recruitment up to that
figure. The Secretary had been asked
by Chairman Kahn why the limit of
$4,000 provided in the Army appro-
priation bill had been exceeded.
Mr.. Baker said that the appropria-
ton figure was merely the joint judg
ment of Congress and the War De-
partment making a forecast as to the
probable maximum recruitment dur
ing the year There had been, he
added, no agreement or understand
ing that it would not be exceeded.
Represe NATIVE Greene, republican,
Vermont asked if it had not been the
practice in the past for the executive
branch to fix the strength of the
Army by policy within the limits set
by Congress.
The Secretary insisted that the re-
organization bill had set no limits,
but fixed a specific strength.
The Secretary said that there was
a strength below which an efficient
modern Army could not be built up.
1.-The real reason for delay and hest
fancy about the actual use of Ameri-
can troops in France" he said. was
not because the soldiers couldn't
shoot, but because we did not have a
single major general who had Never
handled even a division of troops"
