Prepare for the Spring
Garden Now

A good way to insure COON gar
den next spring is to thoroughly
prepare the plot this fall so that it
will be subject to the chemical ac-
ton brought about by freezing and
thawing. 1t will make the soil all
the more workable in the spring
and will tend to insure better and
earlier crops.
If you haven't made that cold
frame or hot bed it would be a good
thing to get busy at once before you
forget it.
Before you bed down the shrubs
for the winter it will do no harm to
put light coat of manure on top of
the soil. 1t will add to the plant
food required in the early spring
for the roots to make a rapid
growth, which will give all the
more strength to the shrub or
flower.
The garden can be made good ex-
ample ofthe intensive system of farm
ing. European countries are given
wholly to intensive farming; in fact
they have been compelled to it by
excessive population for the last few
centuries. They have the system
under control so we'll that when Wis
iting Europe one is inclined to
think it a vast garden, so we'll plan
ned are the farms and lands. 1t
is considered extreme good fortune
for a man of average means to own
five or len acres, while in the United
States we are of the opinion that it
takes a hundred or two of acres to
keep us. The farm of the future
will not consist of over fifteen acrer,
and we do not doubt that the future
fifteen acre farmer will realize more
profit off his farm than the man
with 200 acres does to, day. Neces-
sity will teach us a lesson nothing
else can.

AT THE NORMAL

Normal students, members of the
alumni and faculty who were at the
State Convention at Milwaukee last
Friday assembled at the Planking-
ton hotel in the afternoon to get
returns from the River FallsLa
Crosse game. When the River Falls
victory was announced the corridors
of the hotel resounded with the
River Falls Normal school yells.
Those of the faculty who attend
ed the Wisconsin State Teachers
Association convention at Milwau-
kee Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day Of last week were President
Crabtree and Professors Wright
and Clark.
Professor Wickland returned Fri.
day from his home at Valley, Neb.,
were he had spent the week with
his mother, who was i'll.
Professor Wright spent several
days last week visiting the manual
training departments of the Stevens
Point and Oshkosh Normal schools
The Normal football season has
closed. There will be no game this
year to decide the state champion
ship, as the Normals in the south
ern part of the state have several
games yet to play, while the local
school could get no games around
here to keep them in trim until the
championship of the southern cir
cult is decided. This fact proved
quite disappointment to the G. O..
P. as they had already raised about
$35 to help defray the River Falls
end of the championship game ex-
pense.
Ten new students enrolled Mon
day, bringing the total enrolment
of the Normal department up to
about $50.
Lincoln Mcconnell, who was here
on the Peoples Lecture Course,
gave a short address at the general
exercise period Monday.
The Juniors entertained last Fri
day evening, their guests being the
members of the La Crosse and
River Falls Normal football squads,
the Seniors, members of the N. A.
c., the G. o. P. and the faculty.
The gymnasium was prettily de-
corated with autumn foliage and
draped with pennats and streamers
of the La Crosse gray and red and
River Falls red and white. There
was dancing in the gymnasium and
an excellent program of music
and reading in one of the other
rooms. Light refreshments were
served.
