soil, in the limited meaning above
given, depends upon the amount OF
material which II contains In q form

Quently very infeTtiIe which contain
an enormous amount Of all the es-
seutial elements, because one or more
Of these elements does not exist in
forms which can be taken up by the
plant in sufficient amounts. A good
illustration OF this fact was found in
the soil OF a field in north-central Wis
c0nsin surrounded by very fertile
land Although this field had produced
but two OF taree crops since II was
cleared, IL had become so completely
exhausted that corn made practically

a fine clay loan. From all appear
auces one would expect Il 70 be quite
fertile. When. however. a test was
made by filling eight four-Ealion Jars
with this soil and adding 20 them

the soil contained an essential ele-

other CON pounds coming from the de-
composition OF ,esI1able matter. This
is Indicated by the fact that crops can
be grown 10 maturity in water solu-
tiOns OF the necessary elements with
out any soil whatever, and also, that
plants do not grow in soils altogether
deficient in water soluble materials,
although only a small amount is
needed. Fortunately. processes are
continually going on in the soil by
which the combinations OF the differ
ent elements are changed gradually
so that small amounts Of water sol
uble salts are being formed from
those which are insOluble. This grad

A BRILLIANT GAME
Oregon Agricultural College Wins
Lead in Northwest Champion
ship by Clever Work.

In the finest game of football played
in the northwest this season the o. A.
G. eleven defeated the U. of o. team
by score of to 0 at Eugene Satur-
day. By winning from Oregon the
Agricultural college players sprung a
distinct surprise on the football fra
ternity and placed themselves in the
lead for the northwest championship.
Prior to the game but little bad been
said of the o. A. G. team, whereas the
university eleven had been heralded as
the prospective champions of the
northwest.
For years the tiercest athletic rivalry
has existed between o. A. 9. and U.
of O. and the annual game has also
been an event of absor bling interest.
Last year zero-zero game was played.
On Saturday special train bearing
500 o. A. 9. students and friendly
enthusiasts was run to Eugene and
when the train of II coaches returned
in the evening it was aflame with
orange ribbon and Corvallis witnessed
the greatest demonstration in years.
The cadet regiment band of 35 pieces
accompanied the team to Eugene.
The following is from the Oregon
ian's account of the game:
A we'll directed place kick by Full
back Wolff, early in the second half.
won the game for o. A. c., and, al.
though Oregon fought desperately to
cross the goal line, her efforts were
futile.
Never before in the history of north
west foot ball has game heen played
that called forth such magnificent dis
play of strength and skill. 1t was
spectacular from whistle to whistle
abounding with plays that caused the
spectators to hold their breath in won
der and then break forth with cheer
ing that made the welkin ring.
Corvallis won because of better
work at critical times and because of
costly fumbles by Oregon.
