latiou and now has a field OF 60
acres which has been cropped to

good results.
A sample of clayey subsoil TAX

There are other places in this
township where mari is most likely
deposited and which has not at
present been investigated. Some
small lakes in the northern part
contain a blush gray material
which will be investigated and an
alyzed. One of these is located on
The r. Plummcr farm in section -
and another on the j. Baxter farm
in section 8. Samples of all mat
erial containing lime will be taken
and analysed ia the university lab
oratories at Madison and the re-
suits given directly to the farmers
on whose land the material IS
found.
The material found so far has
little or no value as agricultural
lime hit The indication may lead
TO the discovery of a paying deposit
Such a discovery would be eXtren.C-
Iy valuable to agricultural inter
ests in Fairfield township. 1t would
provide a source of this material
at reasonable prices which with
the long haul at the present time
make lis use almost prohibitive.

several samples have been taken
for analysis. Several farmers have
reported material Of a lime like

The investigations carried on mp
