NEW PLAYS ARE
BEING PLANNED
MANY NOVEL AND STARTLING
TRICKS EXPECTED TO BE
BROUGHT FORTH THIS YEAR.
RADICAL CHANGE In STYLE
Season of 1907 Will Go Down in His
tory as Stage of Development of
New Game-Quick and Sure Kick
er in Greater Demand Than Ever
More Interesting to Spectator.

The football season of 1906 marked
the change in style of the play used
by different teams. The game was
new to coaches and players alike. The
forward pass, the improved quarter
back kick and other things made
new style of defense necessary A few
years ago the single line defense with
the half back smashing and the end
tackling was in general use. In 1904
the double line defense was intro
duced. In this style the ends smash
the opponents interference while the
backs, who stand five yards to the
rear of the line of scrimmage, come
up quick and tackle the runner. This
was the style that was fully perfected
last year.
This season the coaches will de
velop many new plays which were un.
hoard OF last year. There are unlim,
tied possibilities in the use of the for,
ward pass, while the quarter back
kick is always dangerous Will the
present style of defense in general use
by teams in the west stop these new
plays?
This remains for the season to
show. All the coaches in this state
are watching closely the work of Will
hams, Stoy and Yost, the three great
coaches Of the west. What will these
great wizards invent to overcome the
ten yards that must be covered in
three downs?
One season under the new rules
barely opened the door for the new
plays that were brought forth. The
season of 1907 will go down in foot
ball history as a season of develop
ment of the new game.
Do not think because the new game
is more open that the day of the line
bucker is past. It is not Whenever
a short gain is necessary of two OF
three yards, say, then the quarter
back calls on the old reliable line
bucker, and takes no chance on run.
ming the end. A kicker who is quick
and sure is in greater demand this
season than ever.
This was shown by the work OF
Garrells, Frurip, Eckersall, Cody
Clark and Hare last year. These men
were called on time, and again to IS *
-the- hail GUT Of danger when it was i'm
possible to gain the required ten ten
yards The backs must be defensive
players. The double line defense de-
mands it. This was shown in 1906 by
the work of such men as Schuknecht,
of Minnesota, and Steffen, Of Chicago.
These players were not only good on
offense but powerful on defense.
The season OF 1907 should bring
forth many new and startling plays,
It will undoubtedly develop a more
powerful defense, while from the
spectators point Of view the game
in its open form will be much more
interesting.

THE VALUE
OF MANURE
BY NJ. L. Fisher, Asst. Professor
OF A2rOnony. Purdue CInd.l
University.

The theoretical value of a ton Of
manure is likely to differ somewhat
from it's practical value. For example
{. ton of clover hay fed to mature fat
tening steers ought to return in the
animals excrement fertiliZing ele-
ments worth about $3.50; ton OF oats
about $7.6S AS a matter of fact, no
farmer ever has ton of manure
whose value based. on its chemical
composition is anything like the above
figures. The average chemical compo-
sition of large number of samples of
average farm manures gives value
computed at 17h cents for nitrogen
and six cents for phosphoric acid, and
potash at $2.75.
In some experimental work by the
indiana station the returns from ap-
plying os,ainary manure In y, caEIailt
serit5 1S.hc-- fC 70 be worth from 40
cents 10 four dollars for a single crop,
and from rs cents to $3.50 where re-
suits from three crops have been OBJ
tanned In another series where q
heavy application has been made and
then cropped with continuous corn the
increased yield from 13 crops gave a
value of about one dollar per ton for
each crop. 1t is we'll known that the
effect of manure lasts a long time
and, consequently, one or two crops
does not measure it's value.
Various factors operate to influence
the value of manure. The food given
young and growing animals has more
OF it's nitrogen and phosphoric acid
removed and built into the animals
organisms than that given to more
mature animals. Consequently their
oxcrement is not so valuable as that
from the maturer animals. The kind
of food fed influences the quality of
the manure. Evidently ration OF
straw and corn stover cannot be con-
verted into as rich manure as ration
Of clover lay aud oil meal. The ma
nurial element in the bedding also
adds to or subtracts from the value Of
the manure. Corn stover possesses
about twice as much fertilizing mate
lial as wheat straw. Besides the
above factors it is evident that tho
season, kind of soil and the crop to
which applied affect the returns de-
rived from applying manure.
