The Scholar in Agriculture.

Five years ago the popular advice
to those Ayhu were studying agricul-
turc in colleges could have been
| summed up in tho words back TO
the farm The fear was that scien-
tific training would create a taste
for teaching and for investigating
at the expense OF taste for prac-
teal farming. But now all that
is changed and farming has be-
come so profitable that the fear Is
not that men will abandon farms for
profes sOr ships. but that they will de-
scrt profcssorship for farms. The cry
today j. Back to- the colleges and
experiment stations and out on the
road in the interest OF agricultural cN-
tension.
There were thirty eight graduates
in animal husbandry ut the Iowa
State college this year. and thirty
three OF them chose to go back to
the farm. Sixteen were offered posi-
tons in high schools at salaries OF
from $1,000 to SI.2oo, and all refused.
Twelve were offered positions in col
lcgcs at salaries OF from 81 600 10 81
600, and only four accepted.
But educated men on the farm
know the value of expert advice. and
the result Is greater demand for
tcac hers and experiment station
workers than the agricultural colleges
can meet This need has led the As
ISOLATION Of American Agricultural
Colleges and Experimental Stations
to establish a movable school for ad-
vanccd instruction i'll agriculture.
The school is known a the Grad
uatc School OF Agriculture. 1t met in
1902 at Ohio State university. in 1906
al the University -of Illinois, in 1903
At Cornell, and in july, 1910, at the
State College OF Agriculture and Me
chanic Arts at Ames. Iowa. 1t admits
to membership only those who have
taken a college degree in agriculture.
but. in spite OF this restriction. more
than $50 students were enrolled this
year. They came from the North and
the South, the East and the West,
from tllirty-cight states and tcrritor-
les. from Canada. Cuha. Denmark.
Russia and the Transvaal.
The story of what may be called
the awakening in agriculture educa-
ton was told by DR., y. c. True, di-
rector OF experiment stations and
dean Of the Graduate school. in his
opening address. The statistics gath
cred in his office at Washington show
that a2o positions in agricultural
colleges and stations have been ere
atcd since 1907, and that $50 other
institutions have introduced courses
in agriculture.
it is the custom OF the Graduate
school to invite one or two distin-
guished foreign scientists TO lecture
ut each of its sessions. This year
those who came from abroad were
DR.. Z. Won Tschermak, lecturer on
plant breeding in the Royal Imperial
Agricultural College of Austria, and
DR.. J. c. Ewart of the University OF
Edinburgh.
Among Americans on the faculty
were DR.. Webber of Cornell. whose

HAVE SWEET TASTE.
Americans Consume Over Half Their
Weight of Sugar Yearly.

The government bulletin pertain
ing to sugar production and consump-
ton in the United States contains
some interesting figures, among them
being the startling statement that
Americans consume over onc-hali
their weight annually in sugar.
The average consumption OF sugar
is SIh pounds for every man, woman
and child in the country. This
amount makes a grand total OF SONG
thing like : IS billion pounds OF SUI
gar per annum, worth approximately
S1So 900, 900. or in round figures one
million dollars each and every day is
srent in this country for sugar to sat
isiy the growing demands OF the
sweet toothcd citizens.
OF this amount cane sugar Is i'm
ported in large amounts. only about
forty per cent OF the home product
being cane sugar. OF the worlds SUI
car consumption the greater part by
far is beet sugar England is a great
consumer of beet sugar as are other
European countries.
During the last fifteen years the use
of sugar had nearly doubled in this
country: an increase OF so per cent
during the last decade. Who can fig
utc. then. the amount consumed by
Americans per capita in 1850: No
wonder that the sugar production as
an opening for the arid west. reclaim
ed by irrigation is one that farmers
arc profi,ably engaged III. The pro-
duction of foodstuif for which there
is an increasing demand, and a large
part of which is imported is pretty
sure to mean good returns for the
farmers producing it: for beet sugar

BOMBSHELLS WILL Be FIRED
Athletic solons Will Gather in New
York to Legislate.
RADICAL REFORMS PROPOSED
Proposals VIII Make Every Athletic
Club, College and Athlete SIT Up
and Notice without Ala
of Alarm Clock.

NEW YORK. Nov.11LWhat promises TO
be the most exciting meeting held in
years by the Amateur Athletic union Is
scheduled for the Waldorf-Astora on
Monday, November 20. On that date the
athletic solons will gather in annual CON
erence. and according to the present
,lans some legislative bombshells will be
,lred that should arouse comment wher-
ever spiked shoes are worn these days.
At this meeting the Amateur Athletic
union executives propose TO read into the
constitution some reforms which are not
only extremely drastic and needed, but
SO radical withal that every athletic club.
college and athlete will sit up and take
notice without the aid of an alarm clock.
1t Is the plan OF the reformers to in
corporate into the Amateur Athletic
union code a number of new rules for
the better governing OF amateur track
and field athletics, two OF which are ex-
ceptlonslly drastic and should make for
a much-needed reformation in the ath-
letio club sphere. The first OF these calls
for an athlete who leaves a club affili-
ated with the Amateur Athletic union to
compete for two years unattached before
he is eligible TO Join another club, and the
second specifies that no athlete pursuing
a course In any college or university shall
DO eligible for membership in an athletic
club so long as he is attending a college
or university either as an undergraduate
or as postgraduate student.
Tho proposed amendments to the ANA
teur Athletic union constitution covering
these reforms are worded as follows for
the consideration OF the Amateur Ath-
letic union delegates when they convene
on November 30.
Amend article \, section /, paragraph
?, to read as follows;
In all open competition a student at
tending a university. college, school or
other educational institution must repre-
sent his educational institution, and I'M
less no has graduated he shall not be
allowed TO represent club or other or
ganization unti he files with the regis
tration committee certificate that his
period OF scholarship In the educational
Institution has finally terminated"

follows:
