II am strongly in favor of changing the
date for the Inauguration ceremonies. In

Representative Kopp, Wisconsin:

II favor a change from the 4th of
March TO some date early in May. Each
inauguration should be one of the great
events in American history, and, this be-
ing true we should attempt to select a
date when the weather is liable to be
most pleasant"

Senator Gore, Oklahoma:

1T seems to me the most rational
change which could be made would be
one designed to lessen the confusion
which results in having our calendar
year. our political year and our fiscal
year begin at widely different times. If
the auguration date could be changed to
July it would have the double advan-
tage of celebrating the nations birthday
and Of having our political year begin at
practically the same date our fiscal
year That would be more permanent
and practicable advantage than the mere
chance of sunshine, shower or snow on
another date.

Grading Beneficial.

But growing the crop is not all that

there would be few complaints on the
part of their customers II they would
send their fruit to market graded AS
required by the market in which they
desire to sell. A fruit grower who
grows for the Cincinnati market
should ascertain before packing and
shipping Just what that market re-
quires before shipping, and the same
with other markets. Some markets
require certain kind Of package and
others an entirely different one, says

IMPROVE TOBACCO BY SEED
High Reputation Of Wisconsin Variety
Due Primarily to Its Good Burn
Ing Quality.
(sy E. p. sANDsrEN, University Of
Wisconsin Experiment Station.)

WISCONSIN, Experiment StatIon.J
The high reputation OF Wisconsin
tobacco is primarily due to its good
burning quality and this fact has
been the main cause for its popular
ity with cigar manufacturers. The
yield per acre of tobacco in the state
has been quite satisfactory in the
past, but shows decline. The rea-
son for this decline can be traced to
two main causes-nrst, the decline In
fertility of tobacco land; second. to
the use of poor and impure seed.
The work of improving Wisconsin
tobacco seed was started by the hor-
ticultural department of the expert
ment station about FIVE years ago.

Wheat in Howard and Mitchell
Counties.

Have climatic conditions changed Sc
that wheat, especially of the winter
variety, can be raised again in this
locality? 1t would seem so.
Those who have been experimenting
along that line are meeting with sue
cess, both winter and spring wheat
yielding from 80 to 33 bushels per acre
this year and of excellent quality.
The results of experiments by three
farmers have been especially brought
to our notice: H. A. Welles, winter
wheat, yield 33 bushels; E. l. Seavey,
spring wheat, 80 bushels; Col. R. T.
St. John, winter wheat, 80 bushels.
There are others who have had equal
success.
1t has been suggested to us to advise
further experiment in wheat raising.
1t might not be wise to attempt very
large acreage but just enough to give
1T fair trial There is no crop that
will bring in ready cash like wheat
where 1T can be successfully raised,
and it will rest the soil from repeated
oat groupings. Isn't it worth trial?
Those who have met with success
will be glad to give their methods of
culture. -Riceville Recorder.

MINI. U. Professors View.


MINI. v. Professors View.
Minneapolis, Sept 3.-"The finding
of the north pole by DR.. Frederick A.
Cook can be of no use to SCIENCE"
said Professor G. w. Hall, head Of
the department of geology at the Uni
versity of Minnesota. Professor Hall
intimated that If the establishment of
an observatory for the exact study of
the movements of certain planets
could be accomplished, interesting
truths and phenomena about the
movement of the earth and other plan
cts could be learned, but nothing
more.
"The only good that seems to have
come from DR.. Cooks discovery is the
same good that comes from winning
race. Polar territory has hitherto
been out of the reach of man. At
last he has placed his foot upon it,
and this fact in itself is his greatest
reward. Man has succeeded. The
success is of the same sort that is
inspired in race or contest"
Professor Hall does not doubt DR..
Cooks statement that he has actually
reached the pole. According to the
professor, the explorer made a desper-
ate and heroic expedition, and he can
see no reason why the facts of the
matter should be distorted. 1.-The only
peculiar thing that DR.. Cooks state
ment contains is his announcement of
land to the north Now, when the
pole is reached, every direction from
there is south. l have no doubt, how
ever, but that he used the word to in
dicate the direction in which he was
going before he reached the pole and
had difficulty in finding another word
that would convey his meaning by
telegraph. The needle of the compass
at the pole would point south, as it
is attracted to the magnetic pole, on
one of the islands south of the pole."
Professor Henry F. Nachtrieb, head
of the department Of animal biology,
said that there is just as much chance
of there being life of low inverte-
brate order at the pole as within the
boundaries of the polar circle that
have been investigated He is of the
opinion, however, that while there are
possibly new species at the pole, the
chances are that they do not vary
