10 Limit Student Beer

Belln. - University professors
throughout Germany are subscrib-
ing to a movement to curtail the beer
drinking among students at the Ger
man universities. The movement has
not yet taken tangible form, although
a number of instructors at universl-

evil effects Of unlimited beer drink
ing among the students.
Month Abroad for Health
New York.-The Spanish-American
colony here has been speculating for
some time regarding the visit which
President Montt of Chile is soon TO
make to this country He sailed from
Santiago on July and will arrive
here early in August. The fact that
no announcement was made as 10 the
exact purpose Of the long trip gave
rise to many theories. 1t became
known however. that the truth of the
matter is that President Montt is i'll
and is going abroad for treatment
Just what ailment the Chilean chief
executive is suffering from or how
serious is his condition is not known.
He will spend a few days in this city
on his way to Europe, on account of
the state of his health there will be
no elaborate entertainments in his
honor.

Scattlc'S Sane Fourth.

Seattle.-Seattle did not have a
safe and sane" Fourth of July this
year. The city council passed a law
making it illegal to have fireworks
or explosives for sale but the mer-
chants had already laid in their sup
plies for the season and they appeal
ed to Mayor Gill and his business
administration" policy. and secured a
postponement in the enforcement Of
the law. This saved the merchants a
lot of money and resulted in the same
old hoop and hurrah Fourth. with fif-
teen serious accidents reported from
the hospitals.
Two or three hands were amputat-
ed, one or two faces marred for life,
leg broken, and innumerable seri-
Gus burns sustained. This record Of
mutilations was the worst ever ex-
perienced in Seattle, and on the fifth
the city authorities warned all mer-
chants that the law against explos-
ives would hereafter be enforced to
the letter, and hereafter any shop
offering fireworks or explosives for
sale will be Immediately subject to
police attentions, and the proprietors
liable to both fine and imprisonment.

Case Proves Theory.

Counties cases might be cited 20
show the results which are secured
by really scientific farming. I think
now of a farm in the middle west tina:
eight years ago was producing only
eight bushels of wheat and 20 BUSH
els of corn to the acre. The owner
Of this farm was converted by rep
resentative of the department to he
use of improved methods of cons2r-
wing and building up soil fertility, an
at the present time, and depending
wholly upon the natural resources of
the farm, he is getting % bushels Of
wheat and so to GO bushels of corn
to the acre. Another instance is the
case of a farmer in New York state
who lived in a region where potato
growing has been the source of farm
revenue for two or three generations.
Poor methods had been used and the
soil had run down until the yields
were not over bushels of potatoes
to the acre, and these or a poor quail
ity. A representative of the office of
farm management induced this farm
er to get good seed potatoes, enough
to plant four acres, and then showed
him how ii till them. The four acres
produced 25O bushels per acre of good
potatoes.
I'VE make u special point of hunt
ing up farmers who have already APP
piled scientific methods to their
farming and then telling others about
their methods, because in doing this
we know that our recommendations
are entirely practical. We find also
that farmers are more ready to listen
to accounts of the experience of an
other farmer than they are to sug-
gestions which have not been tried.
THE situation is hopeful. The main
thing that is needed is a sufficient

Must Stop Soil Abuse.

There is a solution to the problem
which confronts us, and I am conf
dent that the American farmer is in
dustrious and competent enough to
work it out on the ground. Abandon
ing or selling the farm to move 10
Canada does not help matters in this
direction. Abuse Of the soil must stop.
The period Of eXploitive farming IS
past. Single cropping and failure to
fertllize the land properly will con-
tinue as the causes Of the non-success
of some farmers, but not as many as
in the years past.
The per acre yield of land must
be increased by improved farming
systems which will include the rota-
:lon Of crops. and the wise use of nat.
ural and commercial fertilizers. In
telligent farmers now recognize the
Importance of the effect of livestock
on the fertility of the soil. Clover,
peas, alfalfa and other leguminous
crops must be planted to restore nit
rogen to the soil and humus. Legu-
minous crops have a wonderful effect
on fertility. Corn planted after a.
falfa in Kansas and Nebraska, conf
pared with corn grown after non-le-
guminnus crops has shown an ir-
crease of rs per cent, according to
recent investigation of the department
IF agriculture. The yield of corn has
been increased so per cent or more
by sowing clover between crops.

Washington.-"The loss of thou
sands of finished American farmers
who are pouring into Canada every
year Is a serious after-effect Of waste
full exploitation and the failure to con-
serve this country's natural resour-
ces, especially the soil. The fertility
OF our soil has been reduced below
the point of profitable production in
many of our communities, and people
instead of remaining at home and
building up impoverished farms, are
migrating in search of virgin land"
Phase of Conservation.
This explanation of the Canadian
movement was made a few days ago
by,W. j. Spillman, the expert on farm
management brought into the depart
ent of agriculture by Secretary VIII
son little more than eight years ago
and now chief of an important branch
of the department which has done
much toward bridging the chasm be-
tween science and practical farming.
Mr.. Spillman thinks that the stream
of migration which is flowing over the
northern borders should act as a
warning to the farmers of America
and show them the need of restoring
and maintaining the productivity of
the soil From his standpoint, this is
the most important phase of the
whole conservation problem.
Some of the American emigran. S
are taking up the lands in Manitoba.
Alberta and Saskatchewan, where
there is almost stampede to estab-
lish farms on the virgin soil, in the
belief that the fertility of the lan1
is "inexhaustible." Similar claims
were made a few years ago about the
praires of the west and middle west
Experience has proven. however, that
no soil is inexhaustible unless cared
for under an approved system of farm
management.
Should Fertilize More.
This country has been prodgal
in the utilization of all its natural re-
sources, especially the soil, and we
are now paying the penalty" said
Mr.. Spillman a few days ago before
leaving Washington for a field trip.
"In many Of our older communities
soil fertility is greatly reduced. The
depreciation Of the soil is due TO prim-
itive methods of farming means a re-
duced capacity of the land. and an
increase in the cost of food because
of low yields. Many of our farmers,
instead Of staying at home and adopt
ing methods of renovating their worn
out soils, find it easier to sell the old
farm and pack up and move on.
I'VE are facing a new situation. Nc
longer does the Improvement of land
in the west meet the loss due TO the
abandonment OF older lands in the
east, combined with the increased de-
mand for the products of the farm.
That rhe same process of soil ex-
haustion which caused the decrease Of
agricultural population and abandon
ment Of farms in the east is now gc-
ing on in the west and middle west
is evidenced by the decreased yields
per acre on land which a decade or 50
ago was considered the richest in the
country.

Modem is willing to plead guilty. He fears to lose his license, and is anxious to obtain a certificate from the court. Prosecuting Attorney Fillmore S. Banks was willing that the case be reopened and the accused plead guilty, but in his opinion, Modem had had two convictions and should lose his license. Modem was represented by Attorneys Henry Greenstein and Frederick B. Fallon, both liquor pro- scouting agents.

NERS' PLACE MAY
 NOT BE FILLED

It is regarded as unlikely that the police board will select a man to suc- ceed the late Patrolman Thomas Ivers, at their regular meeting tonight, be- several of the commissioners as to how the selection should be made. f
 Patrolman Fox. who was the choice of Police Commissioner Kershaw when the last appointments were made, is a Democrat Of the recent appointees, five are Democrats and three Repub- licans. Fox, the selection of Kershaw being a Democrat, left the division of the new policemen unequal.
 There is an implied understanding among the commissioners, an agree ment that has been lived up to for years, that the commissioners shall take turns in selecting menf the other commissioners acquiescing in the choice of their colleague It is the general rule for the Republican commissioners to name men of their own party. and the Democrats to look out for their own.
 It is the turn of Commissioner Miller to name 8 man. He Is naturally ex- pected to name Republican. Com missioner Hurley thinks he ought to have chance to nam a Democratic policeman.
 The commissioners were not agreed this afternoon on what course they would follow, and it is expected that the proposition Of filling the vacancy will be laid over for a fortnight until the next meeting.
 There are any number of candidates for the position. Commissioner Miller board, and if he carries his point and is allowed to name a policeman it's a safe bet that he will not tell anybody whom he is going to name

SONS OF JUDGE MOORE DIDN'T
 KILL MARTU0

Two sons of former County Judge Moore of Flushing have proved to the satisfaction of Detective Sergeant Ed ward Cronan that their big red touring car, bearing Colgate banner, which passed through Bridgeport bound for the Yale-Colgate game Saturday morn ing, Oct. 29. is not the same machine that killed John De Martino on it's trip homeward.
 Moores sons told the detective of their homeward trip from New Haven and recounted several stops they made, including one at the Stratfield. one at the Blue Ribbon Garage. which fixed the time of their passing through Bridgeport an hour later than the time of the accident, 7:15. The de- tective verified the story of the youths and exonerated them from suspicion.
 Now the police are satisfied that the car that killed the man is not the same that passed through Bridgeport in the morning with the Colgate ban ner. None has yet been found to say that the car fleeing from the scene of the accident bore Colgate ban her.
