strictly a tramping trip of four weeks

Among the other good things Presi-
dent Dotson said in his speech be-
fore the Commercial club, was that the

Prof. John S. Cole of Denver, was
here a day or two the last of the week
visiting old friends and looking after
some business matters. Prof. Coles
work takes him over a good portion
Of the west and he says that it is
generally dry all over, in fact it is the
dryest year in the history of the gov
eminent office. He says that western
Dakota and parts of Nebraska, Mon
tana, Wyoming and Colorado are vir-
tually a desert, not having had a rain
that would lay the dust since the oath
of last September.
O. A. Brictson, one Of u esteemed
fellow citizens and hustling busi2. SIS
ing ard in the Twin City-Holena tour
he has made a master stroke in that
line. The car which was to carry the
representatives of the Twin City dai-
lies had to be withdrawn at the last
moment, SO Mr.. Brictson volunteered
to take the newspaper men in his ma
chine, a kindness that evidently was
much appreciated, as in their stories
to their papers everyone of the boys
has given the Brictson tread a good
boost.
Profs. A. II. Hume and E. w. Olive
of the State College have been inves-
tigating the prevailing "tip burn" of
corn. 1t was at first thought that
possibly some fungus disease was eff
fecting the corn fields but a micro.
SCOPE examination of diseased plants
did not disclose the threads of fungi
or bacteria. The plant Psychologists
of the college who have been studying
the conditions thoroughly believe that
it is due entirely to the lack of mois,
ture, and the long continued drying
out of the ground. There is apparent,
ly no remedy.
