OHIO BOOSTING FOR CORN
Public Prizes for the Boy Raising
the Dest Crop of Corn on
nm Acre.

True TO the purpose of Its ganiEa III on.
the state board Of agriculture Is using
every effort TO promote the farming In
terests In Ohio. It Is preaching the
wholesome. logical doctrine that Buckeye
land is az good as the best and that no
son Of Ohio need look beyond the state
boundary line for opportunity TO wrest
comfort and fortune from the soil.
In pursuance of this purpose. the board
announces 4 prize contest for the boys
OF the state, A free trip to Washington
and personal call on the president are
10 be given the boy who raises the most
corn on an acre The offer is made
through the various county agricultural
societies. The plan has been tried ef.
fectlyely many times In western states.
So far as now recalled, It has never be-
fore been carried out In Ohio.
Economists generally agree that the
nations food supply depends In a large
measure upon the degree OF success which
farmers are able TO attain ia Increasing
their production per acre. America must
groS more produce. New land is becom-
ing rare; most Of the increase must come
from soil already long under cultivation.
OFF hand, one would say THAT tho boy
who wins this trip to Washington win

city as soon as he reaches an independ-
ent age. For he will have learned the
secret of success In the countryside way

The state OF Nebraska should seek the

members Of public boards and commits

Of the Department Of Sociology of the
University OF Wisconsin. formerly with
the University Of Nebraska. He advo-
Gated this in an address at the luncheon
Of the Commercial clubs public affairs
committee yesterday.
Prof. Ross told Of the close relations
between the Wisconsin state government
and the faculty OF Wisconsin university.
Thirty-six members OF the faculty, he
said, are serving the state In one capacity
or another; and on the other hand, state
officials and experts lecture before the
students OF the university.
The advantages he pointed out are.
The state gets the services OF experts in
their line at the same price for which
they sell their services to the university,
much less than Ii would take to employ
experts in private business; the arrange
ment stimulates the professors by con-
tact with material current problems and
through the professors stimulates the
students: the system trains the young
men Of the university for efficient service

tiOnal campaign was seemingly an
swered here when close political ad-
visers of Governor Wilson let it be

him into every debatable state
The assignment of Bryan to take
care Of Colonel Roosevelt is regarded
here as one in which the Nebraskan
will take great joy. 1t ia known that
Bryan has regarded Roosevelt as a
trespasser upon Democratic preserves,
and the Wilson forces expect him to
make brave showing as a defender
of his party's right to carry out in Of
fee the things which Bryan advocated
long before Colonel Roosevelt decided
that he, too, would take them up.

ordeal of travel which viii follow 1t
close and take him through practically
every state in the Union.
The colonel, however, managed to
get in some real work on his speech,
which is to be delivered at the conven-
ton. 1t is all but finished Its prin-
cipal plank, however, and the one
which is awaited with the greatest in
terest, is being brought up to date in
reference TO the recommended legisla-
ton affecting corporations which the
Stanley committee gave out He ex-
poets to demolish each of the Demo-
cratic proposals in his address.
