1t is real tragedy in American the
ology that has been enacted in the
passing of Andover Theological Semin-
airy. This famous stronghold of New
England orthodoxy will be transferred
next September and become a part of
Harvard university in Cambridge,
Mass. The portable part of the school

In this is seen a profoundly signiti-
cant tendency in American religious
life. Yet the New York Tribune sees
the tragedy displaced by hope" 1t
says:
'Andover seminary passes because
in hts present location it can not at
tract students. With an endowment of
$S50,000 in productive funds, and with
fine buildings and equipment the
school has been able to secure only
two or three students for each class.
If the annual income of $4,000 has
been entirely spent from year to year,
then each student at Andover has cost
the institution between $4,000 and So
600 annually. And even if large. part
of the income has been boarded, the
small attendance makes Andover a
very poor investment for the Congre-
gatlonal church.
"Why can not students be lured
thither even by tempting scholarships :?
Among many contributory causes
three stand out prominently and ex
plain not only Andover's change of
base, but also the general scarcity of
candidates for the Protestant minis
try.
First, but least important, is the
rising generations dissatisfaction with
traditional theology. This hindrance
has been largely overcome by the in

faculties be it said that today they

might be called Christian by any cour-

Secular charities today are en-

workers who. with an old-fashioned

have resisted this influence are at
least prejudiced in favor of metro
politan seminaries, all of which offer
limitless opportunities for practical
work among the poor, the suffering,
and the criminal. Hence, while all
serninaries feel secular competition,
those in small towns are especially
by the fate that has driven
Andover out of her quiet retreat back
to humanity"

cuMm,Ns cARR,Es SOUTH DAKOTA.

Cummins has carried South Dakota
| is the somewhat enigmatic statement
Of the recent delegate convention In
| that state. South Dakota is peopled
very largely by men from northwest
Iowa. Ever since Cummins has been
in politics no set of Iowa men have
watched his career and his fight against
the old railroad machine in politics
with any more interest than have
these Iowans in South Dakota. Sen
ator Kittredge, from that state, rep
resented the leadership Of the railroads
in politics and it was natural out
come that Coe l. Crawford should be-
come governor as leader of the anti
railroad or Cummins republicans of
South Dakota.
Having won control of the state ad-
ministration and having followed the
Cummins program in Iowa closely with
a primary law, two cent fare and other
reforms the same movement developed
Crawford as candidate for senator to
succeed Kittredge. The skirmish came
in the selection of Taft delegation
to the national convention and here
the South Dakota progressives proved
themselves far better politicians than
the Cummins men Of Iowa. They made
the delegate fight factional issue and
set out to control the delegation mere
~ for the prestige it would have in the
senatorial primary. They did not drift
unorganized with Cummins men in
some counties seeking to control and
Cummins men in other counties giving
the delegate conventions to the enemy
by default in the name of harmony.
The fight was made all along the line
for control with the result that the
state convention endorsed Crawford
and instructed for Taft.
One of the most significant aspects
Of this Cummins fight in South Da-
,kota was the results in the different
counties Wherever the old caucus sys-
tenn prevailed in selecting delegates
the local railroad attorneys, land men
and professional politicians carried the
counties for Kittredge and wherever
the primary was used the farmers
came to the polls and voted for a
Crawford delegation. This feeling of
greater strength for the progressive
cause at the primaries was so dom
inant among Cummins men at the Des
Moines convention that altho they were
there in the minority they seemed to
be the cheerful faction Of the two.
The result in South Dakota is believed
to be significant of the result to be in
Iowa. 1t also points eXpressively to
the kind of politics the Cumtnins men
ought to have played in this state.

ARBOR DAY A Joke.

Anbor Day will be officially pro-
claimed some day in this month but
as an effective force in the rehabilita-
ton of forest supply it is about as
harmless a holiday as flag day is for
the cultivation of patriotism. Outside
of few lessons in the primary grades
of the public schools Arbor Day will
come and go without so much as a
recognition on the part of the public.
1t is unfortunate, too, that our peo-
pie can not be made to realize the i'm
portance of tree planting. Farmers
who are making big money saving up
old cottonwood groves for hog house
lumber do not seem to realize that ten
and twent$ years from now lumber is
going to be higher and scarcer than
ever. The department at Washington
predicts that all Of the Misunderstanding
forests in the United States will have
been cut in thirty-three years, and yet
1t is possible to make the rough hill
sides and waste corners of our Amer
lean farms yield an annual rental Of
IS to 81 per acre for a period Of
twenty years by the mere planting Of
trees.
Twenty years seems so tar In the
future as to be planting for future
generations, but ones neighbors APP
sixty years Of age are quite
numerous on the farm and any farmer
under forty can reasonably expect to
live to enjoy the fruits Of a forest
which he may plant this year. Think
Of the luxury Of raising your own
lumber and posts when dimension stuff
Is worth $50 per thousand and that
Is a conservative price estimate for
1928. Think Of being independent of
strikes in the coal mines and of COM
binatfons among mine owners when
fuel costs so per cent more than it
does now. "A man who will build a
house for the future and who has
enough to brave the hard
ships of the frontier in order to grow
IN with the country, ought to be able
TO see the profit in trees on the farm.

kaffir Corn and Field Peas.

| The following; inquiry from II. Bean
| Humeston, Iowa, has been referred to
me:
Il take the liberty to write you for
a little information: How to raise cane
and katfir corn to produce the most
| feed put up as hay?
| Il am going to move to the western
part Of South Dakota where conditions
are similar to western Kansas and
eastern Colorado. l want to know if
this seed should be sown broadcast or
with the drill for best results, also
about how much seed to the acre!
What is the best kind of field pea to
sow and the proper stage to be cut
for hay?"
Cane and Kaffir corn are extensively
used as forage crops in Kansas. The
usual method o, culture for cane is to
sow broadcast or in close drills, at the
rate of about a bushel of seed per
acre, there being little preference be-
tween the two methods Of seeding.
Possibly drilling is preferable in the
drier climates. The crop is cut for
hay when it is in bloom or milk stage,
the usual plan being to cure it in wind
stack until late in the fall. Often the
cane is left in the field in large cocks
and hauled during the winter as
needed for feed. 1t is necessary to
have a rather thick stand of the cane
in order to make good quality of
hay and handle 1t in the way de-
scribed. If the cane is thin on the
ground, the stalks grow too large and
succulent and cannot be handled well
as hay and the fodder does not cure
we'll.
Kaffir corn may be grown for for
age in similar manner as already
described for cane. 1t is common
practice also to grow kaffir corn in
rows and cultivate the crop, planting
the kaffir corn rather thickly in the
row when the purpose is to harvest 1t
for forage only
The Canada field peas are stand
ard variety for growing in the north
ern states. The usual practice is to
harvest the peas when the majority Of
the pods have filled and the vines be-
gin to show some yellow leaves. Care
should be taken to cover the crop
well IN the stack to prevent injury
from rains, since the pea hay will not
shed water well.-A. M. Ten Eyck,
Kansas Agricultural College.

The Pointer on the Barn.

When we built our barn we put a
good cupola on the roof and above
that we raised a. good metal rod, sur
mounted by a compass and arrow to
show the direction of the wind. 1t
cost us something to do that. The
compass and arrow themselves cost
about ten dollars. The little house
above which lit was placed cost per-
haps fifteen dollars more.
But nothing about the premises has
ever been consulted more frequently
than that arrow and compass. Never
a man passes it seems to us, that he
does not look up to see what direc-
rtion the wind is In; and I have no
doubt many have shaped their days
