AeoLIsHEs FOOTBALL.


NEW YORK, Nov. 20. - Columbia
university has abolished the game Of
football as at present played as one Of
the sports in which students of the uni
yersity will be permitted to engage
This action was taken at meeting
of the Columbia university committee
on student organizations held at the
university, at which were present the
members of the committee, Professor
Lord, chairman; Professor Mitchell and
Professor Odell and also President But
Ter and Dean Kirchwey and Professor
Bogert.
At the hour when the body Of young
Harold Moore, the Union college stu
dent who was fatally injured in a
football game with the University Of
New York team last Saturday, was
being laid to rest ID Ogdensburg the
faculty Of the University Of New York
took definite action looking 10 the abol-
ishment of the game Of football as it
now Is played.
Every college whose football team
has played against the New York
university since 1883, when The latter's
team was organized, has been invited
to take part in conference TO fully
consider and finally dispose the future
Of the game With the call for the
conference went the announcement
that the New York university delegates
win support resolution that the
present game Of football ought to be
abolished
The colleges invited TO the confer
ence, nineteen III number are Union.
Syracuse, Hamilton. Wesleyan Lee
high, Rutgers, Trinity, Haverford, fiens-
selaer, Stevens. West Point Prince
ton, Columbia Fordham. Ursimus. La
fayette, Rochester, Amherst and
Swarthmore.
The invitation which was sent TO
each of the colleges suggests three
questions for consideration. They are:
Ought the present game of football TO
be abolished; if not, what steps should
he taken to secure its thorough reform?
If abolished, what game or games may
be possible in its place?

WINDSOR, VT. Nov. 29.-Despite
the fact that the United States supreme
court has declined TO interfere in the
case of Mary VI. Rogers, under SEN
tence of death for the murder of her
husband, Marcus Rogers, another eff
fort will be made TO stay the execu.
ton, which is set for Friday, Dec s.
This fact was learned after Lawyer
Il. Il. Flynn visited Mrs. Rogers at the
prison here. Mr.. Flynn informed the
condemned woman that the supreme
court of the United States had affirm
ed the decision of the Vermont courts
and that all hope in that direction must
be abandoned. He told her, however.
that he had in mind another plan which
might prolong her life Mrs. Rogers
was completely unnerved by the news
of the adverse ruling, but said: "While
there is life, there is hope. I'll take the
chance you suggest" Mr.. Flynn de
clined to state in what manner he
would proceed to prevent the execu-
ton next month.

The power is to be generated on the Bari

Of 20 miles to Lahore and 100 miles to
Amritsar. Coal at these cities now costs
from IS to Sc per ton, so that the low
price at which electric power will be

THE STORAGE or APPLES.
A Bulletin Of the New York Agricul-
tural Station Which Is Full Of
Helpful Hints.

To decide properly to which kind ol
storage the grower or buyer shall send
his fruit requires the best of judg.
ment, for many factors must be con-
sidered in making the choice and upon
their just balancing will depend, to
quite an extent, the profit or loss In
handling the crop. Growers, general.
~, are more interested in storage this
year probably than ever before; for
there seems to be deadlock between
growers and buyers on the question
OF price; and many orchardists have
determined to hold their crops them.
selves rather than to sell them at
prices which promise little profit. To
all such growers, to those who usual.
~ hold more or less of their fruit for
winter sale or home use, and to the
buyers who must plan for the best
keeping Of the purchased fruit, BuIle
tin No. 248 Of the New York agricul
tural experiment station, at Geneva,
will be Of interest and value, suggests
the Ohio Farmer. 1t discusses critic
ally the factors which influence the
keeping quality Of apples, as ascer-
tained through many years. experience
at the station or by correspondence
and interviews with the leading apple
handlers OF the country. It also gives
detailed results Of the storage OF 165
varieties of apples, in the ordinary
temperature room Of the station fruit
storage building, with notes upon most
OF the varieties as handled by prac.
tical storage men. The bulletin will
be sent without charge upon request
to the station.

FRUIT TREE NoURlsHMENT.
What Il Taken Out Of the Ground in
Growing and Maturing
the Fruit.

The Cornell experiment station bull.
ietin No. 103 on Soil Depletion In Re-
spect to the Care of Fruit Trees, shows
that the plant food contained in 70
crops Of apples of Is bushels per tree.
and IS trees per acre, when the leaves
that are formed are also taken into the
calculation, amounts to 1887 pounds OF
nitrogen, 80 pounds of phosphoric acld
and 1895 pounds of potash. Prof. Voor-
hees shows that 20 years continuous
cropping with wheat, assuming an aver
age crop Of Is bushels per acre, and
seven pounds Of straw to three busnels
of wheat, would remove 660 pounds OF
nitrogen, 211 pounds Of phosphoric acid
and 324 pounds of potash. We can thus
compare the results of 20 years cropping
of apples, after the production of trees.
capable of bearing such crops, has taken
large amounts of plant food from the
soil, for the 20 years cropping of apples
has removed more than twice as much
nitrogen, half as much again Of phos-
phoric acid, and three times as much
potash as the wheat crops during the
same period. It is evident, then, that
an orchard will far mors rapidly deplete
the fertility of the soil than the con-
tinuous cropping in wheat. Any farmer
will understand that 20 years continu-
Gus cropping in wheat would be bad
farming and would result in soil deple-
ton. How much more then does the
continuous cropping in apples deplete
the soil. Burn the hardwood of an apple
tree and you will fully understand the
amount of potash removed from the
soil in the wood alone.
