one and one-half bushels Of each per
acre. The peas are usually scattered
broadcast on disked or narrowed
ground, and then turned under about
thre or four inches deep. The ground
is then narrowed and the oats drilled

be prepared and each crop drilled sep

hay the oats should be in the milk

formed pods. Peas and oats can also
be pastured to advantage with hogs.
This crop will give yield of five to
seven tons per acre of green weight.

Planting Potatoes.

The prevailing, and We might say
foolish, custom Of most farmers is to
plant potatoes just as they come, lit.
lie and big. Indeed, some use the
smaller ones for seed and retain the
arger ones for cooking purposes,
sometimes placing them on the mar
set.
While such q course will not no
iceably affect the potato crop for a
single season, its continuation surely
but slowly lowers the yield - not so
much by an insufficient number Of
:ubers, but by inferiority in size and
quality. We believe this to be the
chief blunder made by most potato
,aisers and that 1t accounts for more
failures with this crop than any other
one cause.
Assuming that you failed to select
season Gas nine out OF ten fail to- d,
great care should be exercised in Sc
Letting seed this spring. With the
thought in mind that it was quite like
y the healthy, vigorous plant which
produced the larger tubers, these
should be chosen for seed since the
smaller potatoes, which no doubt
came from a weak or inferior plant,
and, If planted would produce a like
growth. Is this not true Of any other
plant or animal life? Then why
should it not be true of potatoes ?

The College Closing Scenes
Commandments X And Features

most every woman's college has some
thing similar-the daisy chain at Vas
sar, for instance. which at once sug-
gests the ivy chain carried on ivy day.
The students on that occasion, looking
their sweetest IN their simple white
dresses, march two by two around the
buildings and the campus, carrying
the long ivy chain. While the girls are
passing through the alley formed by
the rows of admiring spectators you
will hear the occasional click of a cam
era as some especially prominent and
popular girl goes by some vantage
point.
Float day attracts much attention at
Wellesley. and as many as 1000 Wis
itors have gathered on the shores of
Lake Waban during graduation week
and watched the students drift down
the lake on barges. while the crews
sang the college rowing song. The
vast feet Of small boats Of every de-
scription are lighted up with gayly
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-06-03

colored lanterns until the whole lake
seems af1oat with fairy craft. Tree
day is another feature at Wellesley
which has been observed since the
founding of the college. For the SEN
Tors it is day of sorrow, for they take
mournfuI leave of the tree that they
planted as freshmen.
The daisy chain at VasSar is one of
the most beautiful practices that mark
the close of the schodY year. Thou
sands OF daisies are picked the day be-
fore the march and are strung togeth-
er in long festoons. The prettiest girls
of the class are selected to carry the
chain. and the march around the beau
tiful avenues OF the superb institution,
the yellow of the flowers. the fair
skins and white dresses of the bearers,
the green of the lawn and the blond
and brunette heads exposed to the sun
light make as pretty a picture as any
artist ever painted.
Barnard has horal parade which is
somewhat similar and of which it is
very proud. A line Of graduates pa
rade the campus carrying the choicest
blossoms of springtime in trays. and
after the procession the flowers are
distributed to those who are present to
see the exercises. Bryn Mawr college
for its commencement day usually
makes a speciality of producing some
classical play, this year presenting "A
Midsummer Nights Dream" At Mount
Holyoke college the seniors begin the
commencement round the week before
with a pilgrimage TO the summit Of
Mount Holyoke, where they carry out
mysterious farewell ceremonies. Later
come the grove exercises, the students
gathering at the monument of the
founder, Mary Lyon. and singing the
grove song"
AT many Of the women's colleges
this year decided changes in the mat
ter of dress for the academic process
sions were made. At Radcliffe an or

that were proper in the days of the
early Georges. a couple of centuries
ago. Cambridge goes a long distance
back. not quite as far perhaps. Ok
ford makes very marked difference in
the garb of a graduating minister and
lawyer. for instance. Cambridge still
further differentiates between students
of its various colleges.
The ordinary academic dress OF to-
day consists of cap. gown and hood
and in the United States the system
has been SO unified that very definite
code has been established. In 1894 an
intercollegiate commission met in Co
Iumbia college with Seth Low as chair
man and Colonel McCook of Princeton.
DR.. Palmer of Yale and Chancellor
MacCracken of New York university as
members of the commission. They
made a careful study of academic cos
tune in the various universities of Eu-
rope. and out of the chaos they evolved
an orderly system. which is the one
followed now by all the greater univer-
sites and colleges in the land.
There are three types of gowns,
which are marked by varying cuts of
hoods to represent doctor. master and
bachelor degrees. The doctors gown
has full open. round sleeves faced
with velvet and has three bars OF vel
vet on the sleeves. The masters gown
has closed sleeve. square at the bot
tom, falling below the knees. The arm
enters through a slit near the elbow.
The bachelors gown has long pointed
sleeves. The doctors and masters
gowns should be silk. the bachelors of
worsted stuff The doctors cap has
gilt tassel, while the others have silk
tasSels.
There is hardly college in the coun-
try In commencement week that does
not have some distinctive day or fea-
ture that is full of interest to the most
experienced commencement visitor and
well worth travelling miles to see.
Several Of the larger colleges are not
satisfied with one day or feature, but
carry their novel celebrations over sew
eral days OF course when it comes
to the final ceremony. the day of grad
uation, there is no attempt at original
ity. no getting away from the conven-
donal exercises, backed as they are by
the dignity of scores of years. Usually
the seniors finish their exams" q week
or two before the commencement exer-
cises That time is given them to pre-
pare for these events.
