To Stop Hazing at Michigan.


Students appointed by the Univer-
sity of Michigan faculty to act as
advisors to each group of twenty
freshmen have been notified today by
the deans of their departments to in
struct each of their last years groups,
who are now sophomores, that there
must be no hazing of freshmen this
year. Any sophomore caught molest-
ling first year men will be dismissed,
according to the new rule.
This step is approved not only by
the faculty and towns people, but by
upper classmen. Since last fall senti-
ment has been strong against a con-
tinuance of the BLACK Friday" rushes
and haZing.
The student council is trying to de-
wise something to take the place of
last years rush-some contest be-
tween the two classes which will be
confined to one day or evening
When these plans are completed they
will be submitted to the university
senate for approval.

WINTER WHEAT
EXPERIMENTS
SEVEN or THE DEMONSTRATION
FARMS IN CONNECTION WITH
THE A. C. SEEDED WINTER
WHEAT THIS FALL-A. C. WANT
INFORMATION.

Superintendent Porter OF the DEM
onstration farms OF the state is alive
to the fact that the question OF
whether or not we can successfully
grow winter wheat in North Dakota is
of present Importance. This fall win
ter wheat fields were seeded on seven
Salem, Beach and Washburn and
Flaxton, and Rugby. These places of
fer variety of climatic and soil con-
ditions that will give an average trial
for the entries state.
The wheat was turkey red, the only
variety that is recommended for north
western conditions, and was seeded in
three days, viz, in corn. on summer
fallow and in barley stubble, save at
New Salem, where it was seeded in
the regular rotation on land that had
produced a crop Of oats and pease for
hay. The first Of October the wheat
was three inches high, and had very
healthy appearance. At Beach the
wheat was doing well in the corn
stubble and on the summer fallow, but
there was a poor stand on the barley
stubble. The wheat at Bismarck and
Washburn on the corn stubble which
is tall enough to hold the winters
snow. The Rugby summer fallow looks
well. Owing to dry weather it is thin
oil the corn land, and for the same
reason it did not grow on the barley
ground The same is true of Flaxton.
and at Page, all three fields are look
ing we'll
The wheat was broadcasted into
the corn early in August and cultivated
in. one horse drill would do better
work. The summer fallow was well
worked, and drilled in at the same
time. The barley stubble came a little
later, as soon as the crop was taken
off. This wheat did not get an even
start with the other two methods of
seeding.
These experiments should show
whether or not, and under what con-
ditions, winter wheat will grow in
North Dakota. The extension depart
ment of the A. C. is anxious to gath
er all further information available
along these lines, and would like to
hear from farmers who have tried
winter wheat growing, giving all the
details of it's handling, whether a suc.
cess was made of it or not. Such LEFT
tiers should be addressed to Hugh 7

cultural College, North Dakota.

Marshall and Congressman Gronna will
lead the ticket as the candidates for the
senate, and expect to be the sole insur-
gent candidates, barring the possibility
of Attorney General Miller entering the
race, and stranger things than that
might happen. The stafwarrs have not
decided upon their senatorial candj-
dates. Porter J. McCumber will be a
candidate to succeed himself. while
there appears to be a general desire
TO force Congressman L. b. Hanna OF
Fargo into the race. There are two
objections to this. Hanna and McCum-
Der live in the same section of the
state, while Hanna is doubtful as to
whether or not this is the proper time
to enter. One of the most popular men
in the state, he has the saving sense OF
proportion and will not be carried OFF
his feet by the undoubted desire mat
he possesses to enter the United tSates
senate. Cannon and CannonIsm"
promises to be an issue in the North
Dakota campaign as I'm Minnesota. In
the house caucus neither Gronna nor
Hanna voted for Cannon, Mr.. Hanna
casting his vote for James A. Tawney
of Minnesota for speaker. After the
caucus, both men are understood to
have case their vote for Cannon. Gron-
ma has hitherto been allied with the
stalwarts, only recently joining the in
surgent wing of the party.
The last fight in North Dakota was
supposed to mark the retirement of
Alex Mckenzie from politics. The
veteran stalwart leader was made the
issue in the campaign and devoted his
entire energy to winning the fight. G.
b. Little of Bismarck, H C. Hans
brough, Thomas F. Marshall and M.
N. Johnson were the candidates. Mar
shall and Johnson received the highest
number of votes In the primary and
under the law, which requires the win
ming candidate TO have 40 per cent or
over, both their names went on the
ballot at the regular election. The
stalwarts threw their strength to
Johnson and he won. With this IasL
victory to his credit, Mckenzie an
nounced his retirment from politics.
following serious illness In st. Paul
last winter. However, the re-opening
of the entire fight may result in re-
entrance of this picturesque figure into
North Dakota politics, although he
has as yet given no indication of any
such intention.

HAS SEED TEST

STATE SEED COMMISSIONER Boil
LEY STARTS NEW EXPERIMENT.
Al GARDEN-WlLL THOROUGH
LY TEST SEEDS SOLD
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

The state seed commissioner, Prof
H. L, Bolley, of the department of BIZ
ology. has laid out a small garden in
connection with the science hall weed
garden, which will be used exclusively
for the testing of varieties of seeds
which are difficult to distinguish
through seed characters alone This
garden will be placed in the finest pos
sible tilth and tests will be made here
tos determines the relative value of the
various tests which are made in the
laboratory. With ordinary seeds. such
as wheat, corn and the larger grass
seeds, the ordinary laboratory tests
may usually be relied upon to give a,
higher termination test for each sam
pie of seed than that seed will show
when planted in the ground out of
doors. However, there are great num-
bers Of different kinds OF seeds which
have not been often tested in the va
rious seed laboratories The labora-
tory at the agricultural college will
test these seeds of slightly known ger
minatingr characteristics in many diff
ferent ways. They will also be tested
IN the soil garden during the growing
season.
1t is thus hoped eventually to be
able to explain all of the better ways
for testing the various kinds of field
and garden seeds At che present time
the laboratory is conducting many
tests upon alfalfa, clover and the va
vious grass seeds. Farmers who con-
template sowing large areas Of these
seeds in the spring should send to va
riops seedsmen for samples in time to
have these samples tested in the labor
atoEy. They can then eaily estimate
which is the best sample of seed to
try.
All Of these tests are made free of
charge for all residents of the state.
Farmers should not delay until just
ready to SOW the seed, because in the
case Of many forage seeds, such as
blue grass, red top, ETC.. it takes sever
al hours to make a purity test and sew

Progressive Side of House.
There is little doubt that former
Congressman T. F. Marshall and Con-
gresham Gronna will be the candi-
dates for the progressive wing of the
republican party, though possibly At
torney General Andrew Miller will be
substituted for Gronna, in which event
the latter will receive the support of
Marshall, Miller and all the progress
sives In his race for recollection to con-
gress.
The possibility of senator Hans
brough returning to Mott. Dakota and
re-entering the political arena in an
effort to regain his old seat further
complexities the situation.
Geo. p. Author OF The Minneapolis
Tribune, who investigated the political
situation in this state recently. has the
following size up of the senatorial APP
pointment:
North Dakota is so near at hand, and
the politics of the northwest are SO
closely interviewer in interest, that the
action of Gov. John Burke in ap-
pointing Fountain L. Thompson OF
Cando, a democrat, to the senate to
succeed the late Senator NJ. N. John
son, will attract interest in Minnesota,
only second to that taken in the Flick
ertail state. 1t is the opening chapter
of political fight that Will be even OF
greater interest to Minnesotans, be-
cause of the similarity of issues in
volved. there and here. Governor
Burke's appointee is a dark horse, a
man known as modest though worthy
member of the democratic party and
a close friend Of the governor That
he is a democrat is the important part
of the governors action and the color
Ing of his political opinion means that
insurgent republicans win not gain the
advantage they had hoped to acquire
through the appointment of Thomas f.
Marshall, or any other one OF their
number. There is little doubt but Gov
ernor Burke carefully considered the
appointment of Mr.. Marshall, and there
is equally as little doubt, that up to a
few days ago, Mr.. Marshall anticipated
he would land the plum. But the
democrats raised such row that the
governors contemplated action was i'm
possible. Had Governor Burke acted
at once, his appointment could possibly
have been made. but 1t is not his GUS
tom to make appointments quickly, and
procrastination resulted in a fierce fight
for place.
Had the insurgents secured the APP
pointment they believed they would
have won considerable advantage
over the stalwart faction, inasmuch as
the prestige of position always carries
weight in primary fight. Failing to
land the place. they will deovte them
selves to a plan mapped out immedi-
ately following the death Of Senator
Johnson, to make fight against the
