COLLEGE SPIRIT AT X. S. A. c.
Rooters Form Giant "k" on Field at
Kansas Game.

The writer was in Manhattan for
the X. T." Aggies" game, and he saw
more college spirit there that day
than he had ever seen before, says the
Kansas City Star. At II o'clock in
the morning big mass meeting was
held in the college auditorium. Some
eighteen hundred students were there.
That mass meeting was just a starter.
Half an hour before the game started
the Girls Rooter Club" appeared on
the field. Headed by the student
band two hundred girls, each one
dressed in white, hatless, marched
slowly around the outside of the grid
iron. The leader of the club carried
a large X. S. A. c. banner and led Il
huge black dog blanketed in the cOlOrs
OF the Manhattan school. Each girl
waved a blue and white pennant above
her head. 1t was an inspiring scene
and the big crowd stood with hats
off and chcered as the girls passed
down either side OF the Srldlfon. Inc
girls sat in a section of seats in the
center of the 'Aggies" side of the
grdiron, and on each side of them the
boys of the school We're banked. And
the volume of noise those Manhattan
students turned loose. 1t was great.
During the intermiSSiOn between the
halves five hundred boys marched on
to the field of play and formed
giant X" Each boy had mega
phone and that Big X" made as
much noise as a dozen calliopes would
turn adrift The referee sounded his
whistle for the second half and the
X" Farmers turned and beat hasty
retreat for their bleachers. And there
on the ground where they had stood
was seen giant X" done in confetti.

Word was brought to town late
yesterday to the effect that man
had been killed at the Bigler saw
mill near Conkling. DR.. Sawyer
acting in the capacity of coroner
visited the scene of the accident
and held a postmortem examina
tion. The Doctor reports that
the man was a stranger in the
neighborhood and went by the
name of Sam Lindeman and had
only worked there for short time.
There was nothing / about the
person of the man to identify
him. IT is said that the mans
effects are kept at a neighbor's
house and these will be looked
over in due time to ascertain If
some Of his relatives can be To-
Gated. The man some way got
tangled up in the saw, both legs
severed and otherwise mutilated
and died instantly.

the state. The farms will be
operated in connection with tn @
Agricultural College and the

Twenty acres is assigned to each
farm and the agriculture people

William Peterson, a student of the
agricultural college, has been
assigned as local director and the
farm will be located ON land

moistened. After the grain has
been sprayed it is a good plan to
cover the Mass of seed with a few
sacks or blankets in order to pre-.
vent too rapid evaporation of the
formaldehyde. In a few hours the
sacks may be removed and the
grain allowed to dry before the
seeding.
1t is usually best to treat seed
the day before seeding, but it may
be done earlier in the season if
desired. When seed is treated
some weeks before seeding it
should be allowed to dry before
storing in bins, or sacks. When
seed is stored in bins, after being
treated the bins should be thoroly
swept out and sprinkled with
formaldehyde to avoid Infection
from smut spores that may have
adhered to the floor and walls of
the bin.
When granary room cannot be
had for treating the seed it can be
successfully treated in a wagon
box, conveniently placed. In
seeding grain that has recently
been treated the drill should be
opened a trifle wider q bushels
more for oats), in order to get the
same amount of seed into the soil.
The formaldehyde will kill the
stinking smnts of wheat, the loose
smuts Of oats, and covered smut
of barley, It will not rid wheat
or barley Of loose smut.

Usess Of Formaldehyde.
If smutty seed can be so treate

If smutty seed can be so treated
as to kill the smut pores and not
effect the vitality of the seed, the
succeeding grain crop will be
practically free from smut. There
are number of chemicals that
will kill smut, but the experiment
station recommends that the
farmer use formaldehyde as
being the cheapest and easiest
applied and least dangerous to
use. In buying care should be
taken to secure formaldehyed that
tests at least 40 per cent pure,
otherwise the treatment is apt to
be a failure. There are number
of smut mahines for treating seed
grain that bring the seed in con-
tract with the formaldehyde
solution, and will thoroly rid the
grain of smut. just as good re-
suits can be secured, however, with
home made apparatus as with the
machine, if proper care is used in
the method of treating. A solu-
ton Of formaldehyde should be
made in the proportion of l h..
formahehyde (4O per cent pure)
to As gallons of water. This
amount will treat about 100 BUSH
els of wheat and Is to IS bushels
of oats or barley. The easiest
method Of applying the solution
is to spread the wheat on the
granary floor and spray the solut-
ion over the seed with common
garden sprinkling can. The So
luton is not effective at low
temperature; hence the seed should
not be treated during extremely
cold weather. While the seed is
being sprayed it should be shovel
ed over and over with a scoop
shovel until the seedis thoroughly

Corn Growth for Young Students.

Superintendent Wanner of Stuts-
man county has taken practical
steps to teach corn growth and cul-
ture by inaugurating a corn grow
ing contest among the school
children, and has issued the follow
ing conditions of the contest:
Every pupil under the age of
nineteen, who has attended school
in Stutsman county this year, may
take part in the contest. Every
one who wishes to take part in the
contest should write to the
county superintendent, giving full
age, name and address, and the
name Of school district, and inclose
four cents to pay postage on seed
corn. A package of corn contain
ing about 700 grains aud booklet
on instrctions will then be sent on
condition that the pupil receiving
the same will plant 400 grains of
it in a square, four or five kernels
in each hill, with the balance plant
ed On the south, west and north
sides, to fertilize and protect the
inside rows; that he will cultivate
it and harvest it, according to in
structions, and exhibit not less
than ten ears; the ears to be select
ed from the square and nowhere
else: that he will keep record Of
cultivation from the time Of pre-
paration until he harvests the
same. and write a statement of not
less than $50 words on his expert
ment. 1t is further agreed by the
pupil receiving this corn that he
will comply with the rules gov
erning the exhibits of corn, and
that he will attend the exercises
connected with the contest if pos
sible, and that he will follow, as
far as he may be able, the sugges-
tions made in regard to keeping
record of growing corn. This con-
test win probably be held in
November in 1909, exact date and
place of meeting to be announced
later. At that time the prices
will be awarded for the best ten
ears Of corn in each district, and
Mr.: Randlett, Of the agriclurat
college. will judge the corn and
explain why the prize corn is en-
titled to its place. Besides the
prizes given by the school dis
tricts there will be three county
prizes offered-first prize, of ten
dollars, second of six dollars. and
the third Of four dollars-for the
three best exhibits from the whole
county.

Missouri Needs Improvement.

Grand Forks Herald:y M. G.
Dillon, chairman of the board of
Williams county, is spending a
few days in the city on business
matters. Mr.. Dillon is one of the
big and successful farmers of that
part Of the state. owning a large
ranch at the edge of the Buford-
Trenton irrigation scheme; in fact
a part of his farm will be under
the second ditch Of that scheme
when it is constructed. He has
implicit faith in the future of that
part of the state and believes that
one Of the greatest advantages will
be in the improvement of the
Missouri river for navigation pur-
poses. He thinks that when wing
dams are constructed which will
keep the channel permanently.
fixed, the river itself will deepen
the channel SO that medium draft
boats can ply the waters. He also
believes that the irrigation plans,
once they are fully worked out,
will mean the diversifcation Of the
irrigated section and the growing
Of sugar beets, alfalfa, and similar
crops. The growing Of sugar
beets, would, Of course, mean the
building Of a sugar beet factory,
which in turn would mean the de-
velopment Of that section along
entirely new and profitable lines.
