ALFALFA BEST CROP
FOR ATLANTIC STATES

There is no set rule by which to
grow alfalfa; nor is it's adaptability
confined to any certain type of soil
or climatic condition. 1t is grown
proftably in evey country in Europe,
in Central Asia and in every state and
territory in the United States, and in
Canada. Everywhere, results have
shown by the actual experiences of
farmers, that it ought to become a
staple crop on every farm.
Alfalfa Grows Everywhere.
In many parts of the United States,
enterprising farmers have for years
found profit in it's growing. No crop
will contribute so much to the agri-
cultural improvement Of the Atlantic
states as alfalfa. BY giving back to
the crop-worn soil the elements of
which it has been impoverished, by
the continuous growing of a single
crop, a new era of prosperity will fol-
low.
Live stock farming will be taken
up and the fertilizing elements Of the
barnyard will be returned to the fields;
larger crops will be raised; WORKOUT
farms, many of which are today aban-
doned, will be converted into high
priced productive lands.
In speaking of alfalfa seen growing
in the vicinity Of Syracuse, N. Y, the
editor Of the Rural New Yorker said:
Changes Farm Methods.
Whether it means that the soil in
this locality is well suited to alfalfa,
or that farmers have learned how to
grow 1t, 1t is a fact that the crop
makes a wonderful showing there.
You find it everywhere-in great bill
lowy fields OF green. along the road
sides-eYen in vacant city lots The
crop crowds in whether the seed is
sown by hand, dropped from passing
load Of hay or scattered by the wind.
The majority OF the farms show great
fields of it, and the character OF farm
ing is slowly changing as more and
more alfalfa is grown. On fruit farms |
or small private places the crop Is |
changing methods and habits In fact, |
the most interesting thing about these |
alfalfa fields is the way they are
changing the entire conditions Of the
country. ills similar to what happens |

Saturday afternoon the town team
defeated the team from North Troy
in 10 inning game by the score of
4 to 3. Although the crowd seemed
to lose their interest in the game af-
ter the visiting team had gained the
lead by a run, their interest was re-
yived when the tie runs were brought
in by Wright's mighty swat to CEN

Gardyne showed signs of weaken
ing toward the end of the game, but
Speare pitched as good ball in the
ninth and tenth innings as he did in
the first part of the game. The

score.

Mr.. Abraham F1exner's article in the
November Atlantic, on. '"The German
Side of Medical Education is one of
unusual interest It does not concern
itself with details of organization or
method, nor yet with particulars re-
lating to the various special subjects
of medical instruction and training.
What Mr.. F1exner deals with is the
underlying elements of the situation
as a whole. And yet he points out SO
many definite features in which the
position of medical education in Ger
many differS-in almost every instance
to it's dvantage-from that in this
country, and analyses them with such
vigor and acuteness, that the article
is anything but a series of glittering
generalities. Much of what Mr.. F'lex-
ner says is familiar to those Interested
in university education in general, for
the pursuit of higher study in other
directions as we'll in medicine, and
this is especially true as regards the
relation between secondary education
and university education; but there
are particular points relating to the
nature of medical schools in Amer
lea the one hand and in Germany
on the other, which are brought out
with great force.
The cause of superiority In the Ger
many medical system are briefly sum
married by Mr.. F'lexner as follows:
First, the high minimum level of or
ganization and equipment, below which
the Government will permit no medf-
cal school tos live; second, the prolong-
ed and serious secondary-school train
ing, which is absolutely, without ex-
ceptiOn, exacted of every student in
the medical faculty; third, the freedom
of the German university, which gives
the professor the strength and. leisure
to work and encourages the capable
H. ~ II Hv7jT
requirements of the curriculum for
graduation; finally, the high respect
in which the practicing profession
holds the teaching profession and the
custom of calling teachers freely from
university to university.
The one great factor in our own sit
uation which operates to offset these
points of superiority is the steady flow
of magnificent gifts which American
men OF wealth have been directing to
the support of medical education and
the furtherance of medical prqgressg
1.-The German medical SCIENTIST says
Mr. F1exner, Clocks with envy and
wonder upon the munifcense of the
great American benefactors of medical
education It is the defect of this
method that it has not the effect of
directly bringing about any raising of
the general standard. But even the
general standard is powerfully affect
ed by the example of a single great
school; and the method of private in
itiative has the advantage that in any
one place, without waiting for the
adoption of a. ttcoun try wide policy an
institution may be built up to almost
AMI desired degree of excellence.
Since Mr.. F1exner's article was writ
ten an event has occurred which gives
fresh point to this last consideration

Extra Sporting Page

Cavanaugh has this season realized
an ambition which he is said to have
carried with him from coIIege-to
coach a Dartmouth team which
should win the big games of it's sea
son; and whether the Carlisle game is
won or lost, it will not matter much,
for in Hanover this game is regarded
as just a bit OF an anticlimax anyway.
Now that he has realized his ambition
it may be that Cavanaugh will not
want longer to sacrifice his profess
sionaI work by further coaching at
the close of the present agreement;
but there seems little doubt that he
will be in demand.
Cavanaugh has proved himself a
master strategtst. Some of his teams
have not been the perfect machines,
but none OF them has been outwitted.
Two years ago against Princeton, and
for the past two years against Har-
ward, he has opened a. dazzling Of
Tense, and against PennsylVania he
showed a new versatility in plays
which Penn was wholly unable to
solve. Much of Cavanaugh's success
is due to his reputed command of
men.
Saying little, but working hard, his
squad works with him to the limit OF
it's strength. He has little assistance,
in comparison with the great coach
ing Stats maintained by Harvard,
Yale or Princeton. Usually he has but
one assistant, and near the close of
the season q few alumni return to
give a fresh spirit to the team. 1T
is, however, largely from Cavanaugh
that the. Green team draws its grim
determination and fighting spirit, as
well as its knowledge of football.
Larry Bankart, whose p1ucky team
1t was that turned the recent trick on
Yale, although with power of his own
undoubtedly owes much of his success
this year at Colgate to his two-years'
association with Cavanaugh assfs-
tant coach. Coach Cavanaugh has
always been insistent upon good
scholarship among his men, and in
season and out watches his men to
see that they keep up their studies
One Of the first things he did after
his appointment as coach was to ap-
pear before the college in an appeal
for better scholarships among men
who take part In athletics. The re-
suit has been that although the Dart
mouth faculty is a Jealous body the
team has lost almost no men through
scholarship disqualification. Whether
Dartmouth wins the Carlisle game or
not it does not seem likely that the
result will detract much from the po-
sition which Cavanaugh has gained
for himself this season as one of the
-ablest coaches in the game.
