years the rival Of Trenton as q ira

many men. afterward prominent m
state affairs received their first col
legiate training. vas disincorp0rated
recently by IN order Of the county
court.
The order marks the last step In
the little towns retr0gressi0n since
the Chicago. Rock Island e Quincy
and Omaha & Kansas City railways
passed the village by.
The story Of the settlement. growth
and decline of the village OF Edinburg
is full Of interest The town came into
existence In 1888 when Isaac J. Harvey
built a store there. Not SO favorabIy
situated a. Trenton. the growth of the
town did not compare with that OF the
county seat until after 1850. At the
halfway mark Of the century Grand
River college was established in Edin
burg.
Then came an era OF prosperity. The
fame OF the school grew. and In
structors Of the best were numbered
In the faculty. The pretty little town
was In itself an attraction to students.
and the name Of Edinburg became
widely known. Business doomed. the
town took on q thriving air and the
county seat feared for its own growth
/ Then came the war and progress
stopped. The luster Of the classic
school became dim. After the war
there was q revival Of learning In
Edinburg. and the prospect was fair
again. until the Chicago. Rock Island
& Pacific railroad came through in
1871 and marked Trenton as the fu-
ture city of the section.
Business projects were killed In Ed
inburg. and the village lost ground.
but the fame Of the school still lived.

% ALL Asour OATS.


The Nebraska Experiment Station
has just issued Bulletin No. 113. en-
titled "Oats." It discusses results Of
variety tests. different rates Of sowing
and the cultivation Of oats.
During the past six years some
twenty varieties have been tested, and
about twelve Of these varieties have
been tested for q period Of five years.
The varieties can be summarized into
early types and late types. The early
varieties. which have ripened on an
average July 1lth, have averaged 53.9
bushels per acre. while the late va
riet!es have ripened on an average
July 10th, and have gwen an average
yield Of about 4O.1 bushels. q diner
ence Of about II bushels per acre as
an average for five years. in favor Of
the early varieties Of oats. Sixty Day.
Kherson and Texas Red, among the
early varieties. are the ones most
highely recommended. Among the
late varieties. Lincoln Oats have
given best results.
Various rates of seeding Kherson
oats have been tested since 1903. Re-
suits have shown in general that
about eight pecks per acre gives best
results when the KhersOn oats are
drilled and about ten pecks per acre
when they are sown broadcast. How
ever, the rate of seeding depends
somewhat upon the variety Of oats
used. There is a table showing the
relative size Of gran in different
varieties of oats, which demonstrates
that with q small-grained variety of
oats, like Khers0n, eight pecks will
furnish about as many plants per acre
as fourteen or nineteen pecks of lar
ger-grained varieties. Hence, the rate
Of seeding depends great deal upon
the size of the grain. Counts have
been made upon the different rates OF
seeding for two years to determine
the number of plants and number OF
suckers or tillers produced per acre.
Where the planting is thin the plants
tiller freely. and almost as many
heads per acre are produced where
four pecks is used as where eight
pecks is used, due to the stOOling Of
the oats under thin planting.
Cultivation of oats has been prac-
ticed since 1898, experiments being
conducted with plants sown in wide
rows, 12 to "a inches apart, also ex-
periments where the oats have been
SOwn with tho rapu1ar drill and hrOad-
cast and afterwards narrowed with
an ordinary smoothing harrow or
weeder. 1t has not been found advis-
able to plant oats in drills wide apart
except in a very dry season. when
drilling twelve inches apart gave fair
Where oats have been sown
the ordinary way with a drill and har-
rowed from one to three times soon
after the oats came up, an average
Increase in yield of 4.S bushels for a
period of seven years has resulted.
However. where the oats were sOwn
broadcast. narrowing has given
slight decrease in yield. due to the

Buffalo County Must Pay.

Buffalo county must pay the $3.50
premium on the bond of County Treas
arer Gilbert +. Haase. The supreme
court holds that after the county
board approved a bond that its dis
cretion as to paying the premium
terminates and that it is up to the
board to pay. In this case the bond
was written and was afterwards ap-
proved by the county board. The
board thought that the statute relat-
ing to the payment Of bonds was not
mandatory and that the board could
refuse to pay all or part or none Of
the premium.
A further indication that the uni
versity authorities are tightening up
the strings on scholarship was indi-
Gated by a meeting of the delinquency
committee. Three students in the
university were dismissed on account
of failure in their studies, which
makes a total Of thirty-One since last
September. There is NO doubt but
that the requirements are much more
rigid than they have been, and the
university authorities on the whole
are taking more direct interest in the
welfare of the students.
