Between Wisconsin and
Michigan
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatchl

Detroit, Mich, February 15.-The
friendly controversy between Michi-
gan and Wisconsin over possession
q strip of land comprising about
l20 square miles and that has result
cd in the effort of Wisconsin to have
lne entire northern Michigan PENN
sG.a separated from Michigan and an
nexed TO Wisconsin, had it's start
G gnty- four years ago, when Michi-
sun was admitted to statehood The
tract in dispute, that has an accessed
valuation OF less than $4,000, 900,
has been part OF Wisconsin since the
boundary line was established in
1887, but Michigan repeatedly has
claimed the district on the ground
that an error was made by the sur
veyors.
A few years ago the Michigan leg
islature created a special commission
to arbitrate the dispute, but the gov
ernor Of Wisconsin at that time de-
clared there was nothing to arbitrate
The Michigan commission is to make
governor having taken office in Wis
consin January /. Members of the
Michigan commission have announc-
ed suit may be started in the United
States Supreme court to settle the
boundary question if Wisconsin again
refuses arbitration.
Hurley 1n District
The strip of land over which the
eighty four years old dispute has
been waged contains the town of
Hurley, scene of the recent porhibi-
ton raids.
Michigan came into possession of
the upper peninsula as a result of the
So called Toledo War;" that resulted
in 1885, or two years before Michigan
became a state. Ohia had been ad-
mitted to statehood in 1902 with an
indefinite northern boundary. The
act of 1905 organizing Michigan ter
ritory, had fixed the Michigan bound
airy to include the land in which the
city of Toledo and adjacent territory
is located. When Governor Lucas of
Ohio issued proclamation assuming
control of the district the Governor
Of Michigan called out the Militia.
which proceeded to Toledo to prevent
Ohio from taking control A few
shots were fired but there was no
bloodshed. Congress- settled the dis
pute by granting the land to Ohio
and giving Michigan the northern
peninsula.

Most Of the milk in this section is
sold for condensing purposes, and Is
delivered by motor truck to large con-
denseries. All the herds selected for
study were representative of dairy
conditions found In that section.
In western Washington the pasture
plays a very important part in milk
production, according to the bulletin.
With cool weather throughout most Of
the summer plenty Of moisture, and
a rich soil, there is abundant pasture
until late in the fall. During the pas
ture season almost 6O per cent of the
milk for the year was produced, and
at one-third of the yearly feed, bed
ding. and pasture cost. The annual
pasture charge per COW amounted to
IL acres or $23.04. Such items as
veterinary fees, medicine, disinfec-
tants, and other items, amounted to
$1.45 per cow per year. 1t was found
that the number of hours required
to care for a COW did not differ mate
rally between the summer and win
ter seasons. However, due to the In
creased flow Of milk in summer, the
time required to produce 100 pounds
of milk in that season was materially
less In summer than in winter.

What does 1t cost to produce milk1
This Is the question that has
brought increasing concern to each
dairyman. In answer to 1t, the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture,
through the dairy division, conducted
a series Of studies to give dairymen
reliable information on this subject.
These studies were begun In 1915, but
the most recent upon which any data
have been published was begun in
1917, in Skagit county, Washington,
about 20 miles north Of Seattle. The
report Of this study is contained in
Department Bulletin 919, "Unit Re-
quirements for Producing Milk in
Western Washington"
A study Of the results given In the
bulletin shows that at the time of the
study 1914 per cent of the total cost
Of producing milk at the diaries in
vestigated was for feed and bedding;
23.5 per cent for labor; 17.6 per cent
for other costs, and rs per cent for
depreciation. The requirements for
