The renter should buy land, be-
cause the moment he can pay a few
dollars down on a farm with a
chance to pay the balance on easy
terms is providing for his children
in the futS-e and ceasing to pay
tribute to the landlord. The money
laid by each year is not consumed
in moving to another place or in
paying for changes that he may
wish to make on each new place.
A successful renter may become a
successful land owner. Such one
does not need to fear about invest
ing in farm of his own. He is
sure to succeed. Right now is the
time for the renter to buy land
while it may be had at a low price.
Why not profit by the rise in land
values as well as the landlordl
The farmer with surplus earnings
should buy land, because he is in
vesting in commodity with which
he is familiar, one that is not de-
teriorating in value, but increasing
as the country develops. It will
pay good interest on the principal
from crops raised while its value is
increasing with growth Of country.
Such an investment will beat any
get rich quick scheme" ever in
vented.
II will pay the young farmer liv-
ing on high priced land, now pay.

Two more experiment substa'
tons should be established in Tex
as at an early day-one in the Pan
handle and one in the Houston
country. There is a substation in
Southwest Texas and one in East
Texas, but the area of Texas is so
great and the conditions between
widely separated sections so diverse,
that at least four substations are
required to promote the even and
symmetrical development of our
agricultural resources. And in adj
dition to the issuance of an occas-
ional bulletin, they should become
schools of instruction, to be visited
b. the farmers in droves, at stated
times. Yes. these things cost
money, but will return it to the
state an hundred fold in enhanced
taxable values and better citizen

Just as was expected. the free
seeds provision was retained in the
house agricultural appropriation
bill, Notwithstanding the recon-
mendations of the department Of
agriculture and the efforts..of many
agricultural organizations to have
it eliminated. Instead of devoting
the appropriation to the purchase
and distribution OF rare and valu-
able seeds and plants under the
direction OF the scientists in the
employ of the government, congress
prefers to buy in bulk vast quanti-
ties of seeds at the lowest possible
price, with no regard to their value
or their adaptability to the various
soils and climates of the country,
and distribute them as political
graft pure and simple.
The free seeds graft is worse than
a nuisance. 1t is almost corrup-
ton. The members who support
il know that seeds distributed in
such manner do no good, unless II
is to coddle a class of farmers who
think it is a great thing to receive
a few packages of WORTHLESS seeds
under the frank of representa-
tive. The most humiliating fea-
ture Of it is that this shameful prac-
tice is maintained largely through
the support of the Southern con-
gressmen. II the Southern con-
gressmen should ever oppose j.. q
they would il they were actuased
by proper sense of duty, it would
soon be abolished.
congressman have raised their
salaries to $500 year and il is no
longer necessary to force the I'M
willing people to pay for this vul-
gar campaign device, even If the
fraud was ever justiiable under
any circumstances.
An appropriation for rare and
valuable seeds and plants should be
expended in good faith by the Off
Gals of the department of agricul-
ture. In that way some good might
be accomplished, bu, the present
practice OF sending these worthless
seeds to voters who support the con-
gressmen is simply intolerable from
any point of view.
1, is 10 be hoped the farmers Of
Texas will find some way OF warn
ing the members of the Texas dele
CATION against this useless extrav-
agance. And those aspiran,s who
feel like connecting with the juicy
$500 a year which is to be the
congressional pay will no, go far
wrong by looking into the matter
and enligh,ening the people upon
it.
When the farmers once know the
inside of the graft they will not be
disposed to support the man who
helps to fasten it on the people

Plans of the Chicago University Foot
Ball Management.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 12-While in
the east to attend the meeting Of the foot
ball rules committee, Athletic Director
Stage of the University of Chicago is be-
lieved In Chicago to have paved the way
for an invasion of the east next fall by
the Chicago team. Pennsylvania and
Annapolis both have invited Chicago to
become a foot ball opponent next season.
and If the faculty is willing the Maroons
are assured of at least one contest with a
team of rank. 1t is whispered that Stage
is contemplating even bigger game. and
would be more satisfied with try at his
alma mater Yale.
Both stand for the more open game and
it is said that both Yale and Chicago have
played the new game to it's best advan-
tage. more so than by their rivals in either
section. Stages phenomenal offense last
fall has made an impression in the east, and
there is said to be a strong inclination to
see what the Maroons have to offer. More
than a mere majority of the eastern col
legians and critics hold the west cheaply
now, as a result Of the comparative show
ing by the CarliSle-Minnesota and PennSyl-
vania- Michigan games, and apparently are
more willing to meet western teams than
heretofore. This probably has been re-
sponsible for the free will offerings from
Pennsylvania and Annapolis to Chicago.
Pennsylvania undergraduates declare
"Pennsy' will have the best team in Its
history next year. They say the Red and
Blue eleven will triumph over anything
in the east, and express the opinion that
Michigan will be soundly walloped on the
Iatter's own stamping grounds.
Annapolis also has bright prospects for
next season, and if a game with Yale falls
through Chicago feels they will be able
to make an Impression on the east by
meeting either Penn" or the naval cadets.
ONLY one game will be played with the
east. in ali probability, and the consensus
of opinion favors Pennsylvania

NEW YORK GAME LAWS.
Commissioner Whipple Makes a Per
tinent Suggestion.

ALBANY, N. Y, January 12.-Embodied
in his annual report to the legislature.
Commissioner Whipple of the state forest,
fish and game department. makes the fol-
lowing suggestion as regards proposed
amendments to the fish and game laws:
The last legislature changed the open
season for hunting deer, cutting off the
month Of September and making it con-
sist of October and fifteen days in No
vember. Such law. enforced. will natur-
ally lessen the number Of deer killed each
year, but not enough. The amended law
is open to two objections: First. it makes
a space Of thirty days between the fishing
and hunting season. Trout fishing closes
October 1. This is objectionable from the
standpoint of the hotel keeper, summer
visitor and guide in the Adirondacks.
While it is true that a law to protect
game and fish cannot be built on the line
of furnishing work to any one, yet If the
same object can be obtained by not inter-
fering with the pleasure or business in
terest of any Of our people, this should be
done.
Experience has proved beyond question
that a great portion of the deer are killed
and taken in the fifteen days in November,
when naturally there is snow on the
ground. To accommodate all persons and
protect the deer, the open season should
be from September 16 to October 81, in
elusive and the trout fishing season in
the Adirondack region should he from May
bring the fishing and hunting together, and
accommodate every one and save the
slaughter of a great many deer in the
Adirondack region.

POPULARITY OF POLO.
Thirty-Nine Clubs Now Belong to the
Association.

PHILADELPHIA, January Exchanges
in handicap ratings have been made in the
Polo Association, and the new schedule,
which will be issued to the various clubs
soon, will go into effect at once, and will
remain in force for all the early tourna-
ments next spring Another revision will
probably not be made until June or July.
Among the local clubs the most notable
changes in the Meadow Brook Rock
away and Squadron clubs.
A new western Club has just been admit
ted to the Polo Association, the Junction
City Club of Kansas. Dr. O'Donnell is the
delegate. Other new ciubs admitted dur
ing the year were the Riding and Driving
Club of Brooklyn, the Orlando Club Of Flor
ida and the Penllyn Club of Pennsylvania.
The association now includes thirty nine
Clubs and most of them will send delegates
to the annual meeting, which will be held
in April in New York. Col. C. G. Treat has
resigned as delegate of the Army Polo Club,
owing to his departure for Cuba, and his
successor will be appointed within the next
month.

Gently passed a rule which prevents a stu
dent from Praying on more than two var
sity athletic teams In one collegiate year.
The rule hurts the defense field of the
Tigers to a great extent. The most promis-
ing candidates for point are Tenny and
Dillon, the quarterbacks of the Tiger foot
ball team. Tenny is the better Of the two
and both are great deal superior to Coke,
who is third on the string of point players
Tenny IS, however, a pole vauter of some
little ability and intends to give up hockey
SO that he may try for the track team in
the spring. Dillon plays on the Tiger nine
and that puts him out of the game of
hockey. Another thing that has hurt the
Tiger seven is the rule that bars freshmen
There are several good ayers in the class
Of 1910, who will, however, not be eligible
to play until next year.
