STOCK AND FARM.
College Bulletin.

Bulletin No. As, issued by the farm
department of the State Experiment
station at the state agricultural college,
details the results of the corn expert
ments conducted during 1898. These ex-
periments included tests of the results
Of detasseling, trials of planting at va
rious distances, methods and frequency
of cultivation. tests Of the comparative
value of butt, middle and tip kernels for
seed, and comparative tests of long
list of varieties. Any one interested can
have copy of the bulletin by applying
to l. d. Graham, Manhattan.
Some of the experimental oats that
were sown before the cold wave in
March have had TO be reseeded, those
that were sprouted having been killed
by the frost.
Twenty-four acres will be devoted to
an experiment with grasses this season.
A test will be made of mixture of
twelve pounds of orchard grass, ten
pounds of English bluegrass, and five
pounds of common red clover. These
will be put in with press drill, run
both ways over the field. Seven acres
of alfalfa will be sown in the same man
ner, using twenty pounds of seed to the
acre. Press drilling is considered the
proper method of seeding now in this
region.
No corn will be planted on the college
farm for month yet-possibly not SO
soon as that.
The experimental peach trees that
were laid down last fall and covered to
protect them from freezing are being
uncovered and promise a fair crop, even
though not live peach bud is to be
found in unprotected orchards. This
method of laying down peach trees has
been tested by the horticultural depart
ment for several years with most graft
flying success. The trees are laid fiat on
the ground, secured by stakes and COW
cred with hay or straw.

INJURED IN THE GAME
Bahen's Condition is by Far the Most
Serious
Foot Ball Casualties Charged to the
Hardness of the Ground and
Action of Spectators.

The foot ball game yesterday between
Columbia and Georgetown will long be
remembered for the number of the injuries
received by the players on both sides. EN-
perts claim that the trouble was entirely
with the grounds, which were as hard as
the top of a billiard table. 1t Is undoubt-
eddy true that the big colleges would not
think OF playing game on ground as hard
and packed as that used yesterday. An
other cause fer some of the accidents was
the action of the spectators in ercroach-
ing on the playing territory. Several men
were hurt by tackles which threw them
into the spectators and destroyed all posi-
bility of scientific falls, and every one
familiar with foot ball knows that there
is proper and an improper way to
fall in the game, and that the ability to
go down safely is a matter of training.
1t is probable that the fact that much
the larger number Of injuries were received
by Georgetown players was due to the
training and instruction in scientific falling
received by Columbia from their coach.
House Janway, who is one of Princeton's
crack foot ball graduates.
OF the men hurt yesterday Bahens condi-
ton alone gives apprehension. There Is
an injury to the spinal cord that seems
to be serious, but no fracture Of the verte-
brael column has been discovered and
Last night the anxiety was considerable
and DR.. Kleinschmidt, the college physician
and surgeon, was with him long time.
This morning a thorough examination was
made by both DIR. Kleinschmidt and DR..
Kerr. They discovered twitching Of the
spinal cord that proved its intactness.
Bahen's most hurtful injuries seem to
be Of the stomach. He retains complete
possession of his faculties.
Geo. d. Bahen, the injured boy, Is Of
Richmond, Va. His father is James Bahen
Of 80 North Goth street.
The injuries of Bahen were received pure
ly accidentally. No individual of either
team Is held in the least degree responsible
for them.
The balance Of the boys hurt are getting
along well. Carmody's head and knees
will soon be out Of splints. He feels only
a soreness.
Father Richards of Georgetown College
vas today asked his opinion of foot ball in
general and for remarks on the accidents
of yesterdays game in particular. He had
nothing to say, however.
