some of the produce OF the farm
and with the money thus obtained
purchase other feeding materials.
There is scarcely farm on which
such an exchange could not be made
to advantage.
The following example will illust.
rate more clearly what is mean. II
is possible to buy on the local mar
ket GA tons of clover hay for the
price of 5 tons of timothy hay; and
5 tons of corn can be exchanged
for 46 tons of wheat bran. Calcu-
lating the value of fertilizing mate
rails at Is cents per pound for nitro
gen, and cents per pound for potash
and phosphoric acid the results are
as follows:
Fertilizing value of GA tons of
clover .................. $46.5o
Fertilizing value of 46 tons of
bran .................. 54'3z
Total ................ S1O5.87
Frertilizing value of S tons or
Timothy .................. $z5Vt
Fertilizing value of 5 tons of
corn .......-......... 2S5u
Total $51.5O
Gain due to exchanges of
reeds ................ S04.5G
BY simply selling timothy and
corn, ard spending the money for
clover and bran, without any cesh
outlay the fertilizing value Of tiSo
ration has been increased $54.37 and
consequently the manure produced is
worth $43.49 more than If corn and
timothy had had been fed The
actual feeding value has also been
increased because of the greater
amount of protein in both clover and
bran, with no decrease but rather an
actual gain in the dry matter and at
the same cost. This suggestion may
be made of considerable practical
value, dependent on the market
prices of the various feeds.

Nordica At Lexington.

One Of the worlds greatest singers,
Nine. Lillian Nordica, a queen of the
operatic stage and the greatest Wag-
merriam singer in the world, will appear
at the Lexington Opera House, in con-
cert, on Monday, April 10, 1912.
Lillian Nordica has place all her
own in the hearts of the American pub
lie and she has even succeeded in con-
quering the narrowness and prejudiceS
of the European capital. for there as
here, she has been acclaimed as one of
the worlds greatest singers. 1t can be
undisputably said that Nordica is the
most popular of all the prima donnas.
To the student of music her singing is
ever an inspiration, while to the casual
music lover and general public it is an
unfailing source of delight.
In days to come, never to have heard
Nordica will be considered as great
loss of opportunity as it is looked upon
in this generation never to have heard
Jenny Lind or Adelina Patti. At her
concert here not only will we hear Nor
dica. but the program will have an ad-
ditional attraction, in fact, two, in Ny
ron w. Whitney, the eminent American
basso, and Romayne Simmons, the great
accompanist and pianist.

Annual Convention and Ora.
torical Contest of the Ky.
Up. A. to be Held in
Richmond.

One of the most significant Of recent
movements in the interest of prohibition
has been the organization of the Inter
Collegiate Prohibition Association. The
progress of the movement in some of
the states within the last few years has
been rapid and attended by definite and
positive results. Three years ago the
work was started in Kentucky and the
idea is taking fast hold and awakening
much enthusiasm among the men and
women of the colleges. As yet. few
people outside Of the college. have had
opportunity to become familiar with the
movement or to see its practical posi-
bilities. We shall state briefly a few
things in general concerning the organi-
cation and the work. it is doing. Ii is
strictly a student organization, the pur-
pose of which is to enlist the interest of
the men and women of the colleges in a
fair and systematic study of the funda-
mentals involved in the question of the
liquor problem.
Territory is organized by states, the
work in each state being carried on I'M
der the direction of State Executive
Committee. The national head, locat-
ed at the city Of Chicago, is kept in
close touch with the local organizations
through the travelling secretaries who
1an
and make the arrangements for the an
nual state conventions. To-day organiza-
fions have been effected in twenty-three
different states with local leagues in 10
colleges and universities aggregating a
total membership of possibly over 1000.
Six schools have been organized in Ken
lucky, namely: Georgetown College,

Is it an opportunity for those who are
interested in the final eradication of the
liquor traffic TO strike a telling blow for
the future by giving this movement
their support? Yes, we need your sup
port in most liberal sort of way. Here
is how you can encourage us most:
ION the 10th of April the Annual
State Convention and Oratorical Contest
of the Ky. |. P. A. will be held at the
Eastern Kentucky State Normal School
in Richmond. You will be lending us
your greatest encouragement by giving
us your attendance at these meetings.
OF course, you will want to come out
and watch Richmond win the contest,
which, by the way. means a handsome
prize as we'll as the honor of represent
ing Kentucky in the Grand Interstate

lege, Kentucky Wesleyan College, East
ern Kentucky State School, and Berea
College. Interest in the question of
Prohibition is promoted among the stu
dents; first, by the organization of study
classes and the use of such literature
and periodicals as are regularly furnish
ed each member of the league; second,
by encouraging free discussion among
the students by means of questions sug-
gested for debate; and third, by arrang-
ing by weekly or monthly program upon
which are placed strong speakers, usual
ly professional men of the town, for adj
dresses on different phases of the ques-
tion.
One of the most interesting features
Of the work is the arrangement for an
annual series of oratorical contests.
This idea is most effective in encourag-
ing thorough study and investigation in
preparation of the original orationS the
subject of which must always be on
some phase of the liquor question.
These contests afford a wonderful OPP
portunity for the development of those
necessary qualifications for leadership.
The significene of such movement can
not fail to be seen. II Is the educated
men, the men who are able to think,
whose interest we must enlist in the
solution of this question. ''As go the
colleges to day, so goes the nation to-
morrow" The matter of temperance
is matter of education, and prohibition
will come as soon as the people come to
see all the reasons why intemperance is
bad. 1t is more than a moral or social
issue that is involved in the liquor pro-
blem. Already it has become political
and economic factor that forces itself to
be taken in to accounts problem which
will require educated statesmen to solve.
The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1912-04-10

Our great danger is that too many of
our men are going out from college
ignorant of the tremendous significance
of this great four-fold: moral, social,
economic, and political, factor that is
stealthily inslnuating its poisoning in
fluence in to every phase and organiza-
tion of our national life And hence
that apathetic attitude and hurtful in
differenbe on the part of so many of
them who occupy positions of influence
to-day. They have gone out into life
and, though they may have escaped
personally the curse Of the drink habit,
it is hard to get them to take definite
stand on the matter of temperance sim
ply because it has never been brought to
bear upon their attention sufficiently to
arouse an interest in an honest investi-
cation of TIE question; or, having been
brought to their attention too late, they
find themselves so inextricably involved
involved in its commercial or political
trammels that they will not be con-
WINGED.
What our college men need to-day is
no less a knowledge of the books taught
in college, but more intelligent grasp
of some of the issues which they must
face when they go out from college.
Most of the college men will become
leaders and influential citizens IN their
community. They need an opportunity
to set themselves right on these ques-
tions while yet untrammeled and at
liberty to form their opinions unbiased
by conditions affecting their trade or
station. If the |. PA is doing anything
to impose the proper responsibility on
the minds of the college men; if 1t is do
ing any thing to encourage this spirit of
broad minded and independent thinking
among them; if it is making them, net

Milwaukee, Wis, April 3,-The returns
OF Wisconsin's first presidential primary

the possibility that the president carried
the sixth district delegates. Wilson led
Clark in almost every district of the
state.
On the basis of the early returns last
night, the Taft manager conceded La
Toilette 90 out of the 20 delegates to the
Republican national convention. In SUI
