Soo Railroad backs soil study in central Wisconsin tests
The Soo Line is funding six experiments near Hancock to find best crops for the sandy soils of the region. Wisconsin agricultural experts, led by Mr Hoverstad and the state college, will test clover and other legumes to boost fertility and crop resilience amid sandy ground challenges. A miraculous lightning strike spared Mrs Letter and her daughters in Cicero after a bolt tore through their home, injuring no one.

American Road Congress eyed as annual training for officials
A movement seeks to turn the American Road Congress into an annual training school for road and street officials. The Detroit session opening the week of Sept 29 will feature top authorities, government and commercial exhibits, and a rich program to study materials, methods, and labor-saving devices. Officials may attend at state and local expense to gain value and knowledge from exhibits and discussions with leaders directing streets and highways.
