pRy EARNING ExPERlMENrs.

The directors Of the North Platte
CNeb) agricultural experiment station
have been carrying on some expert
mental work along the line OF cereal
production which should be Of practi-
cal value to dry farmers in other sec
tons. On the forty eight plots devoted
to growing wheat in a season follow
ing summer following an average
yield was secured of 30.2 bushels per
acre. 1t was found that plots which
had been sown at the rate Of two pecks
per acre yielded as we'll as those on
which five pecks were sowed-in fact,
the two smallest returns were from
plots on which FIVE pecks had been
used The lowest returns obtained
from growing small grain were on land
which had been in alfalfa the preced-
ing year. Five to six bushels of oats
were secured following bronze grass,
on corn land from ten to twenty bush
els and on land summer fallowed thir-
ty bushels. The evidence derived from
the above tests seems to show de-
cided advantage in favor Of summer
following over any other system of
handling.

That the dislike on the part OF some
pupils TO attending school is a very
real and not a whimsical matter was
shown not long ago in two instances
which were reported in the public press
the one, boy who hung himself IN
the barn rather than go to school; the
other. a girl who took poison rather
than endure the ordeal. II may have
been that due to enforced absence in
earlier years or slowness of mental
operations they were far behind other
scholars Of equal age and suffered con-
tinuous humiliation when forced TO
measure up with them in the class
room. In any event. the incidents cited
show very conclusively that there are
not infrequently cases when II is the
part OF wisdom in both parents and
teachers to acquiesce in pupils de-
sire TO quit school and take up work at
home or elsewhere.
