ice but once and then goes into the furnuce. That should no longer 

 be permitted. Whether we can do that, whether we can regulate our 

 lumber supply to that extent, I can not say, but it m ould be a right 

 step towards conservation. You know what we really need some- 

 times is a king; we need a lumber king anyway, a man who could tell 

 the people to do with what they have and compel them to do it. If we 

 had that privilege we could conserve what we have. 



I thank you for your time and I trust you will have a pleasant

 but in the great student body which it sends out every year. The high 

 ideals of the University are not locked up in the text books nor in the 

 class rooms, but in this State they reach out to the shop, to the factory, 

 and to the legislature. 



I think one of the biggest surprises of my life was when I first 

 came to Wisconsin from my old home in Xew Jersey and saw farmers 

 of fifty or more years of age walking down the streets of Madison 

 with a text book under their arms, studying agriculture. This variety 

 of farmer was totally unknown to me, and was not existent in the 

 range bounded by the State of New Jersey. Through my years of
