COLORADO AT THE CORN SHOW.
Exhibit of Products of Irrigated
Farms.
Denver Republican.

Denver republican.
The corn exposition to be held in Omaha
on the sixth Of next month is designed to
present in various forms as many as pos
slble OF the problems which interest the
farmers OF this country and bear a more
or less close relation to the future de-
v%elopment Of agriculture.
Many states have been assigned space
which they will fill with exhibits illustrat-
ing the problem In which their farmers
are taking special interest or Ia the solu-
ton Of which notable progress has been
made.
Colorado Is fortunate in securing ample
space for exhibits OF the products Of i-
rigated agriculture, and Prof. w. II. Olln,
who is in charge Of C~olorado's exhibit, will
provide an instructive Illustration OF irri-
CATION, since farming by that method is
the theme assigned to this state.
The exposition Will be national in scope
and character, and IL will give all who
attend It an opportunity to learn some
thing about the agriculture Of the whole
country hardly to be acquired in any other
way.

NO FOOT DALI FoR SCHOOL boys
New Nork School Authorities Outlaw
the Game.

Brooklyn Eagle.
The resolution OF the Board of Superin-
tendents Of the New York schools, for
bidding foot ball playing by public school
boys, wa a wise precaution and should be
approved by the Board OF Education.
The list Of deaths this season shows that
the game has not yet been reformed below
the danger point, although It is 'ess brutal
and less dangerous than before the changes
brought about by the widespread protest
several years ago. When that discussion
was on, the defenders OF the game pointed
out that most Of the serious injuries were
to young players, like those of the high
school teams. who had not become SUI
ficiently hardened foI the rigors of the
game, argument supports the present
action Of the school su~perintondents. The
game is risky ~enough-and IN recent in
stances 1t has been far too risky-for grown
men. Until foot ball can be made safe,
boys of high school age should be kept
out Of it altogether. There are enough
other games which viii develop the bodies
Of the boys without the risk Of breaking
their backs.
