Prof. Olin's Experiments Expected

AMES. Iowa. Aug 8. Millions of
acres of semi-desert lands of the West
ern plains of the United States, as well
as other millions of the African veldts,
the Siberian steppes, the Argentine pam
pas, and the great unexplored plains Of
West Australia will be converted into
the best hay and pasture lands in the
world if the new grass. scientifically de-
veloped by Prof. w. H. Olin, grass ex-
pert of the Iowa Agricultural College. at
this place, will do what Prof. Olin says
it Will.
A modification of what is known as
the side oats grama" is the grass for
which these claims are advanced. After
being developed in connection with Prof.
Olin's studies and experiments with the
grasses from all the great grass plains
of the world, the new grass has been
tried on some of the half-arid plains Of
this country. and thus far has done all
that was expected for il.
Next spring these experiments are to
be conducted on a larger scale and
throughout wider area.

from the institution.
At given sign they overpowered the

Presently he found that none of the
doctors were there. He asked where
they were. and learned that the one who
was on duty was in coffee house oppo-
site playing cards.
Without giving his name, he sent
across for him. A very rude reply came
back that the doctor could not have his
party disturbed. So the King wrote his
name in full in the visitors book. and
made a note of the Doctors name in his
pOcketbook
From the hospital his majesty went to
one OF the public schools. On his ar
rival he found all the children in the

King Peter determined to see this
through. and went across to a wine
shop. He spent half an hour till the
time was due for the teacher to arrive.
Then he returned. and again found that
the teacher had not yet arrived, SO he
took a piece OF chalk and wrote on one
OF the blackboards, King Peter has

With this as its motto, the Austin
