STUDENTS TO FARM ON
PRINCETON'S CAMPUS
$50 Acres Available for Agriculture
Will Help Men Pay Their
WAY.

Princeton, n. J.-Farming is to be
taken up at Princeton University, not
as a regular course, but as a means
of helping undergraduates to earn all
or part ftheir way through college
The farm is to be right on the campus,
and the market will be found in town.
Work will be started at once and
will continue until next winter forces
a temporary abandonment of tn
farm. Hazy as may sound the pro-
position to some, it will without doubt
be reality. The trustees have ap-
pointed The trustees have appointed
a committee to look into the plan. j
L. Bathgate, '94, in an address before
the students, announced tentative de-
tails of the operation of the farm.
The undergraduates are to do all
the work in connection with the farm.
One hundred and fifty acres are
available for the farm, and part Of
this will be turned and narrowed i'm
mediately.
The ground lies to the east of the
college buildings, but is on the cam
pus Fresh vegetables will be sup
piled to the university commons,
where upward of 200 students eat
three times a day. The upper class
clubs will also be provided and trade
will be carried on with the townspeo-
pie. The faculty of the university
and the seminary are also expected to
be customers.
In the summer those students who
wish to work on the farm will be put
up at dormitory free and will be
boarded at $4 a week.

ASTOR WILL TO HAVE
QUICK SETTLEMENT

New York-With all heirs salts
fie1 with the provisions of the will,
there appears to be nothing in the way
OF a speedy adjustment of the vast es-
tate left by the late Colonel John ia
cob Astor.
The trustees are likely to take un-
usual provisions to guard against any
future contests. The will probably will
be admitted to probate without OBJ
lection, but a suit may be brought in
the supreme court for a judicial con-
struction of the document, especially
the clause creating a trust fund for
the expected posthumous heir. That
will relieve both the trustees and leg
atees of possible annoying complica-
tions.
The three trustees named in the will
of Colonel Astor will ask, when the
document is probated, to be named
joint guardians of Vincent Astor dur
| ing his minority.
Vincent Astor declined to discuss
either his own plans or his mothers,
except to say he probably would not
return to Harvard, because he was
! too busy learning the details of the
affairs of the estate. He spends most
of his time at the Astor estate offices.
Il is understood he will follow his
probated, and spend most of the sum-
mer travelling in Europe with her.
Speculation continues to be rife as
to the first Mrs. Astor's intentions.
| A report gained circulation that she
proposed next fall to return to Am
erica and campaign to gain the lead
ership of New York society, being
known neither as Mrs. Ava Willing
Astor or Mrs. John Astor, but simply
as Mrs. Astor. Should she return
here she will likely make her home
with her son in a new Astor mansion,
as the house on Fifth avenue is to be
in the undisputed possession of Mrs.
Madeleine Force Astor for life, or un-
til she remarries.
| Vincent Astor's fondness for his
mother gives color to the report she
will resume her life in New York,
though her London acquaintance and
friends profess to see no probability
of her doing so. She has just opened
a beautiful new house in London.
London also laughs over the re-
port of Mrs. Astors engagement to
young Maurice Rostand, and says she
will be more likely to accept Lord
Curzon who is known to be willing
and waiting suitor
Mrs. Madeline Force Astor, Is here
after to be known, society understands
as Mrs. John Jacob Astor. There has
still been no. revelation of the amount
Colonel Astor settled on her before
marriage, but her Income from the
settlement and will is said to approx
innate $350.000 a year.
When the will is probated the state
will collect s270,O0O on the legacies
The Inheritance tax on the rest of the
estate will be more complicated
matter to determine. The surrogate
will appoint an appraiser and after
the Astor attorneys file their affidav-
its as to the value of the estate, there
will be a hearing and the proper fig
ures will be fixed.

TOBACCO TO PAY FOR WAR.
Bulgaria to Raise Price of "Weed"
After Hostilities.

Englishmen who have travelled in
Bulgaria have grateful recollection
of the cigarettes Obtainable there. and
it will not surprise them to learn that
Bulgaria expects to pay the costs of
the war chiefly by tobacco.
The weed" grown in Bulgaria is
excellent, and much of it ultimately
appears in Turkish cigarettes, but of
course the price in the tobacco mar
ket differs from that paid for genuine
Turkish.
In Paris recently Turkish tobacco
was sold at 3 francs the kilo and Bul
garian tobacco at . francs. After the
war the Bulgarians will not only have
the big Turkish tobacco provinces
(much of the best Turkish tobacco is
grown in the areas about Karasu Ye-
nidge), but they will be able with the
Greeks to make monopoly and also
70 raise the price of Bulgarian tobacco
to what they believe is its real worth.
1t is believed that a very large part
of the war expenditure will be paid
in this way. 1t seems indeed
strange instance of modern develop
ments when gunpowder is to be paid
