Keen College Rivals To
Settle Supremacy Here
Upton of Louisiana State and Coleman of Tulane Splendid
Sprnters Coming-Neither of Their Colleges Will Enter
Teams-Games Committee Will Meet Today

Neither Tulane nor Louisiana State
university will enter track teams in
the Amateur Athletic union meet to
be held in this city on June and 7.
This fact was made known in dis
patches from New Orleans yesterday.
The reason assigned is that their
track seasons closed last saturday
with the Southern 1ntercolle giate meet
in New Orleans.
Physical Director West of the Young
Mems Christian association has re-
ceived word from Candy, one of the
best quarter miles in the SOUTH that
he will compete in the meet under the

Word has been received in Birming-
ham that Coleman of Tulane and Up

sprinters in the south, will compete in
the A. A. L. The races between these
two in the 100-yard and 20O-yard
dashes will be the feature of the meet,
as they are great rivals. They have
met twice in the 100-yard dash and
each has captured the honors once In
the 220-yard dash they have also met
twice and Upton has won twice.
Coleman will run under the colors
Of the st. Paul Athletic association,
while Upton will compete for the New
Orleans Young Mems Gymnastic club.
The Southern university, Howard
college and Birmingham college will
not enter teams in the meet.
Tie games committee, composed of

statement is not taken seriously by the

there is right here in Birmingham. In

Traction Engineering
Short Course.
Farmers Learn to Handle Steam
and Gasoline Engines.
: :. !. :. =. :: :. = = = = + .. < - 4

Forty yong men have just attend
ed a five weeks traction engineering
short course at University Farm.
They describe themselves as German,
Scandinavian, Swedish, Norwegian.
English, Scotch, Welsh, Yankee and
Wisconsin, Ohio, South Africa AMI
Minnesota.
Students who have taken this
course in past years have made good
in localities scattered from Canada
to South America, but most of them
come for the purpose of learning to
use steam and gas tractors in thresh-
ing, blowing, and numerous other
ways on the farm. When they have
completed their work they usually re-
turn to the farm from which they came.
Some of those recently enrolled al
ready had special engineers licenses
permitting them to operate steam
boilers and machinery in Minnesota
and all who took this course may re-
ceive engineers licenses. Experience
who apply for the course, but no
greater educational requirements than
can be obtained in the common
schools have been established.
The location of University Farm
between the two great cities of the
Northwest helped to guarantee every
facility necessary in training prof.
cient engineers. The men spent their
mornings in lectures and study and
their afternoons in operating steam
and gasoline engines, about three.
fourths choosing steam engines. They

PLkaNi""G DRAINAGE SYSTEM
Should Be Done With Same Care as
Other improvements

The planning of drainage works
should be done with the same careful
ness that is bestowed on other i'm
pcOVCments. When a large building
is to be constructed an architect is
consulted, plans are carefully drawn,
all the details are looked into, and
material il selected which will be
suitable for the location, the climate
and the purpose for which the build
struction inspectors see that the de-
tails are carried out and the require
mentS of the specifications enforced
regardless of the fact that the con-
tractor may be losing money and
cheaper materials might be used But
in drainage enterprises, the evidences
of such care are too often painfully
lacking, even though the cost be as
great or greater than that of a large
building. In many cases an engineer
is employed to stake out a drain on
route which has been selected only
because it is supposed to be- the
best one. No examination is made
for another route or outlet; the area
of the watershed is not measured. AS
result, the size of the ditch is
determined by mere guess. Time
may develop the fact that the best
route was not selected, that the ditch
was too large or too small, and conse-
quently does not perform the work
satisfactorily. A ditch, being improp-
erly located. either does not drain all
the land it should or it is expensive
to construct and maintain. One that
is too large will not clean itself prop
erly; while one that is too small will
not carry the required volume of
water-J. T. Stewart, Agricultural
Engineer, University Farm, ST., Paul.

SulL MOISTURE.
Farmer Should Look Carefully to His
Cultivation Methods.


BY reason of the cool, moist wealth
er which has been prevalent over the
entire Northwest, the soil has not
dried out as usual. and the crops
have not shown the same degree Of
growth as in normal years. Many
therefore think that there is an
abundance of moisture in the soil.
From a crop production standpoint
this is not generally the case. Let it be
remembered that the soil became ex-
ceedingly dry during the years 1910
and 1911, and, the rainfall since that
period has not been in excess OF
the normal. The immense crop OF
1912, together with the very dry fall
season, depleted the soil moisture to
a point where only an excess of rain
can possibly bring it back TO a safe
condition. We have not had this ex-
cess of rain or it's equivalent in snow.
With these conditions existing. it
behooves the farmer to look careful
ly to his cultivation methods A good
dust mulch should be established and
maintained, and the weeds kept
down, for they are moisture users.
Shallow cultivation should be prac-
ticed, as deep cultivation cuts the
roots of the crops and retards their
growth and maturity.-C. P. Bull, AS
sociate in Farm Crops, University
Farm, st. Paul.
