a fanning mill and as the empty cones pass out of the shaker 

 they fall into a funnel-shaped box and pass into the mouth 

 of the blower, which carries them through a large pipe into 

 the furnace room of the plant where they are burned. 



Wallace Campbell, Palace Building of Minneapolis, recently 

 purchased 2,000 acres of land from the Great Northern rail- 

 way in Polk county, southwest of Crookston, between Neills- 

 ville and Beltrami. The consideration is given as $60,000. It 

 is reported that Mr. Campbell's intention is to put the tract 

 into immediate cultivation with modern tractors and steam 

 plows. Mr. Campbell previously purchased 640 acres adjoin- 

 ing this. 



State Forester Griffith of Wisconsin is not worrying over 

 an opinion by Attorney Owen, in which he says that owing 

 to the improper adoption of the constitutional amendment the 

 two-tenths of a mill tax for forestry and waterpower may be 

 jeopardized. Mr. Griffith says the state's right to appropriate 

 money for internal improvements is an important one, but 

 that the state's plan is safe in his opinion because he does 

 not think that in a legal sense the program of his depart- 

 ment comes under the head of internal improvements. 



The beauty of the opinion he says lies in the fact that now 

 that the amendment has been declared improperly adopted 

 the legislature is clear to make direct appropriations without 

 being limited by any amendment. 



Did you ever know that a government township is really not 

 six miles square, and that the so-called "North and South" 

 lines of a section do not run true North and South? 



The answer is easy according to Professor John T. Stewart, 

 head of the Division of Agricultural Engineering at the State 

 University and Professor Stewart is authority. The 

 reason is because the earth is a sphere and not a flat plane. 

 Professor Stewart imparted this information to the state fire 

 rangers from Minnesota who gathered at the College of For- 

 estry recently for a five-days' meeting. Professor Stewart 

 spoke on "The Land Survey of the United States."
