Tie Value OF the CIassics,

Evangelicism half century ago, as
reflected In the letters Of our ancestors,
was peculiarly icy, and of a kind to
freeze up the high spirits of young
people.
In 1850 a devoted mother wrote to
her boy, after he had gone to pre-
paratory school ito fit for college" and
said:
II am glad you are reading Plato
and Herodotus. Communing with the
dead, you will learn how to die"
That was the worldliest sentiment In
this letter to a boy Of fifteen, except
an Injunction not to squander his
monthly allowance Of two dollars "ir
foolish purchases of sweets and trivia
knick- knacks"

the impossibillty of poisoning weevils

President Eliot. of Harvard Univer'

ers In all the colleges of the country
as their bitter enemy because OF the
attack he has made on their game In
his annual report. The football players
will, however, be wrong. Enemy
though he be to some Of the modern
methods OF the game. President Eliot
could not have done a more genuine
service to college sport than by speak
ing as he has. The professionalism on
many college teams and the exagger-
ated follies OF football hero-worthip
are well enough known. President
Eliot goes deeper in his analysis and
attacks the morals OF the game. Foot
ball Is now played, he tells us, as
though 1t were war. The stratagems.
deceptions and brutalities of war are
initiated as far as may be. The ordi.
nary standards of honor and dlshonoT
are forgotten in the scientific" game.
Whatever argument may be made for
the use of deception and treachery in
war, where the struggle is for life and
death. no argument at all can be made
for similar methods in contest which
Ls only for amusement. The game as
it is now played would be condemned
by the very statement OF the charges
against II, even If 1t had no harmful
effect on the after lives of Its devotees
But since football training is a train
ing that does not wear off. since the
football game sends many young mer
from the colleges forth into the bust
ness world, there to wage ruthless
business war and help follower stand
ards that are already low enough as Il
is, the evil becomes one of the great
| est Importance. The universities can
not afford to let their students be In
| fuenced for harm in such ways al
this. On President Eliot's showing
they must either make the game be
come once more "gentlemanly game
or they must Danish 1t entirely. Ever
the more radical treatment, II 1t be
comes necessary, will be beneficial Il
genuine college sport, as well as to tn
universities and the public.

Why do Illinois farm lands sell for
$l25 to $500 an acre2 Because they
are productive. This year one Chris
tian County farmer gathered a field or
corn which yielded 10 bushels TO the
acre. The corn was sold for 81 cents
Il bushel, a gross return OF $i3 per
acre. Taking out the cost of growing
the crop, there still remains n big In

In some respects, American farmers

for fodder crops, but part of the sue.

BARLEY GROWING.

The attention OF farmers OF Bur-
leigh county is especially directed to a
letter from the Manhattan Mating
company published in this issue. The
letter relates to the growing of barley
in this section, this grain being es.
pecially desired by the Mailing com.
pany's house at Manhattan, Mont.
This plant will require 100000 bushels
of barley this fall, and it would ap-
pear the company fears 1t cannot Sc
cure the grain. j.. p"
Barley is practically a sure crop in
this section but has not been grown,
except for feed, to any great extent,
because there has been practically no
market for it. A market is now Of.
fered the farmer for this grain, a
market that will be good for years to
come. The opportunity should be
improved, especially as barley is one
Of the grains easily raised in this
section. .'ss.,
In this connection it may be timely
7: to call attention to the fact that North
Dakota raises very little, as COM
pared to other grains, of this i'm
portant crop. Probably no state in
the Union is better fitted, by climate
conditions, than this for barley grow
ing. At only one point-the Nestor
farm, near Valley City-is barley
raised with the direct view of use for
mailing. The owner of this farm is
one of the largest masters in the
United States, at Geneva, N. Y, and
he says his 5,000-acre farm produces
the best barley that comes to his malt
houses. His agent at Valley City
buys all the. barley offered and farm
ers of Barnes county know they have
a ready market for this grain and are
raising it with view to this particu-
lar use. Knowing this, the Tribune
has opened correspondence with malt
houses, one of the results being the
letter mentioned. .. ......
Inquiry from those familiar with
the district brings the information
that while barley is usually t'safe'
crop on the lands adjacent to Bis
marck, under present conditions, irri-
cation would multiply results and
make this territory leader in this
particular development, as certain
localities in the state of Washington
are leaders in the production. of hops.
1t is not too late to seed barley, and
In the interest of the farmer, and of
this section. The Tribune urges the
earnest consideration of this matter
by the grain growers of the Missouri
Slope. ~ > IT,
