PLANS COURSE IN JOURNALISM.
University of Wisconsin Takes Steps to
Develop Department.

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 1.-THE Uni
versity of Wisconsin is completing a
plan for including in. it's, curriculum a
course of Journalism. to be classed in the
same rank as the law and medicine de-
partments of the institution.
The first practical advance toward
this point is noted in the November is
sue of the alumni magazine of the uni
versity, which contains various articles
said to be acceptable to newspapers and
magazines, pertaining to recent scientific
discoveries, personal news of the students
and faculty, and several semi-literary
stories. These articles were prepared
by various students of the university
under direction of Prof. Louis 2. Loeb
ner, who is acting as editor of this de-
partment.
DR.. A. J. Ochsner, president of the
alumni, with the cooperation of the
faculty and Prof. Loehner, intends to
develop the journalistic course until it
shall tedch details: of preparing news,
printing the newspaper and providing
arrangements for advertising and bust
ness management.

EXPOSE FARM FRAUDS
SCHEMES TO CHEAT BUYERS ARE
BEING ADVERTISED.
Tracts Of Almost Pure Sand Left After
Cutting Of Trees Offered for
Sale.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. IL
Schemes to defraud the farmer and the
Would-be farmer, meaning the city man,
who is attracted to the country by glar-
ing advertisements. are receiving the at
tention of the department of agriculture
and it is probable that Secretary Wilson
III his forthcoming annual report will
sound note of warning to the over
credulous.
Tracts of almost pure sand left after
the cutting of pine trees are being adj
vertlsed as farm lands of the finest de-
scllptlon; undrained swamps are de-
scrlbed as priceless possessions, and all
sorts of inducements are held out to at
tract purchasers of these alleged worth
less lands. \ favorite device is to set
many thousands of slips or cuttings of
fruit trees on common range lands in
capable OF producing anything better
than sage brush, and another is to offer
to the unWary, seeds or bulbs of some
remarkable hybrid plant that will pro-
duce thousands of dollars an acre.
The real character of these lands, ag
ricultural department officials state,
might easily be ascertained by inquiry
OF the state authorities. A few months
ago the department of agriculture caused
an investigation into the merits of Il
berry which was advertised to be d Won
derful hybrid, combining the properties
OF the rarest fruits, but it was found
that 1t had little or no value as a fruit
product
