A fair sized audience assembled
at the nigh school auditorium Tues
day night to hear the inter-class de-
bate, the contestants being the teams
from the Junior and Freshman
classes.
The subject was Resolved. That
the Course cf Study In Secondary
Schools should be Made Elective .
Kent McCauley. Glen Wilson and
Mary Stevens. members OF the junior
clAss, represented the affirmative side
OF the question. and the negative was
defended by Perley Lewis. Leah Ber'
gen and James McCauley. OF the
Freshman class. Some splendid argu
ments were presented by both sides
the decision OF the Judges being In
favor Of the negative.
1t IL very gratifying to the teach

COST OF SPORT is IMMENSE
Golf, "Rich Mans Came" Responsible
for Expenditure of $3o,ooo,ooo In
the British Isles.

The estimate that 100000 golfers in
the British isles spend $12,50O,000
every year for caddies' services,
$6,250,000 for club dues, like amount
for balls, $625,00 for clubs and $250,000
for green fees, making an aggregate
annual expenditure of $25,875,000,
which amount would be increased to
$30,000,000 or more if transportation
included, comes as pointed sugges-
ton of the part sport may play in
current costs of living.
Golf, of course, is regarded as a
rich mans game" not only because
its playing calls for wide space, cost
ly plants and personal attendance,
but also by reason of the fact that
considerable leisure is required for
its practice, says the Cleveland
Leader. Even so, golf may be played
on much more economical basis than
that used as an average in the English
estimate.
The probability is that any golfer,
no matter how modest and economical
he may be in the sport, or any fol-
lower Of tennis, yachting, baseball,
trapshooting or other amateur game
whether it be a so-called rich mans
game" or poor man 's'-would be
startled by the result if he were to
make an accurate count of the cost
of one seasons play. Money spent
piecemeal in pursuit of pleasure slips
away unnoticed, though in astonishing
aggregate. Very likely American boys
spend more than the British golfers

Leguminous crops must be grown in

justifes the farmer who grows
leguminous crops to enrich his soil
in feeding narrow rations. Owing to
the fact that we can grow leguminous
crops every month in the year for
grazing, for hay and for grain, cotton
belt farmers should feed stock largely
on legumes although the rations may
often be narrow. Legumes mean rich
land and fat stock.

DAMPNESS WILL CAUSE R0UP
1t Should Be Remembered That Fresh
Air Never Made Fowl Sick, No
Matter How Cold.

The beginner very often introduces
roup to his flock by doing some fool
ish thing For instance, he will close
up the house tight at night in win
ter, when the weather is very cold,
and allow it to remain closed all the
next day. Naturally a moisture is ere
ated which generates dampness, and
the whole house will feel like vault.
The dampness which fills the house
at night, and which usually comes
from the fowls breath, can easily be
dispelled in the daytime by opening
all the windows wide. Nothing will
dispel dampness SO quickly as fresh
air, especially if it be dry. 1t must
be remembered also that fresh air
never made fowl sick and it matters
not how cold the outside temperature
may be, it will benefit the fowls.

NEW COACHES PROVE BENEFIT
College Conference Football Teams
Show Improvement in Game-Three
Striking Successes.

The old adage of the cleaning prop
critics of a new broom has been strik-
ingly illustrated thus far in the 1913
football season. With four of the nine
conference colleges guided by new
coaches and one of the two big" out
siders in the same position, there
have been three striking successes
and two ordinary showings Illinois,
Purdue and Notre Dame all have
strengthened their coachi, , depart
ments, while Northwestern and Ohio
State do not seem to have suffered in
the slightest from the changes made.
At Wisconsin, Bill Juneau, who may
be classed as a newcomer, is as sue
cessful as the men at any of the
schools mentioned.
When the season opened Robert G..
Zuppke at Illinois, Andy Smith at
Purdue, Dennis Grady at Northwest
ern, Jack Wilce at Ohio and Jesse
Harper at Notre Dame were the cen
ter of attraction. Each had his ad-
mirers and his critics, but all have
succeeded beyond the hopes even OF
their greatest friends.
Even Grady, although his team has
been beaten in nearly every contest
it has played, can be classed as sue
cessful, for Northwestern has learned
more football than in several years.
The inability of his men to AIRY out
his instructions does not detract from
the credit due to the Purple tutor.
Perhaps the most striking success
of the year is the work done by
Happy" Andy Smith at Purdue.
Smith succeeded in raising a second
rate team into the top ranks and
made the Boilermakers contenders for
the conference championship for the
first time in years. 1t has been direct
ly due to Smiths work, for the mate
rial at his disposal was no better than
last season, when the Lafayette team
was an easy victim for any high class
machine that happened to oppose it.

introduction Of legumes into the farm
rotation will not increase indefinitely
the productivity of the soil. Liberal
applications Of phosphoric acid and
potash must be made where the soil
does not contain an abundance of
these elements.
The farmer who grows leguminous
crops and keep good live stock want
to know whether to use the treated
or untreated phosphate rock to In
crease the yields of his legumes and
to improve his soil. The conclusions
| draw from a careful study of the re-
suits obtained at several experiment
stations are that on a very poor soil,
acid phosphate will pay better for a
few years, at any rate, even If the
leguminous crops are turned under,
but that on very fertile soil raw
phosphate rock will pay better, espe-
cially when used with stable manure
or leguminous crops. In most cases
it would seem to be advisable to use
a light application of acid phosphate
with the untreated phosphate rock the
first year, and sometimes for several
years, until the latter gets into action.
Legumes used as winter cover crops
not only transfer nitrogen from the
air to the soil, but at the same time
reduce the teaching out of the plant
food already present in the soil to the
minimum. More humus and more nj
trogen in the soil and more winter
and early spring grazing are probably
the greatest needs of the south These
needs can be fully satisfied by planting
such crops as the vetches or the win
ter clovers. In discussing the sub
jects of legumes as q winter cover
crop, DR.. TAFT Butler says: For
many years to come the blowing I'M
der Of crops grown as winter cover
crops will be the most practical and
profitable method of increasing the
fertility of our soils and rapid increase
Is not likely to occur until this method
becomes general as a frequent and
constant practice"
The leguminous crops are especially
rich in protein, which furnishes ma
terial for the production of lean meat,
muscles, nerves, skin, blood, tendon,
wool, hair. casien in milk, albumin of
eggs, and so forth. This makes the
legumes especially valuable for feed
ing farm animals in connection with
fat-producing foods, such as corn and
sorghum.
The German standard rations were
computed from digestion experiments
without reference to the comparative
cost or convenience of obtaining the
various feeding stuffs. There is a
growing tendency to break away from
the idea which has long prevailed that
successful feeding must conform to
the German feeding standards. Prof.
w. A. Henry says: THE feeder should

Leguminous Crops Occupy I'M
portant Place on Every Farm.
PLANTS HAVE HIGHEST VALUE
Must be Grown In Cotton Belt to Eco.
nomleaIIy Enrich Our Cultivated
Lands and to Furnish Proper
Food for Live Stock.
(By @. n. ALFoRD.)

Leguminous crops have very i'm
portant place in every safe and sane
system of farming. These crops possess
a characteristic which makes them of
the highest value to the farmers. This
is the power to utilize the free nitro
gen of the soil air. When we examine
the roots OF luxuriantly growing
leguminous plants, we find numerous
nodules or tubercles on them. These
tubercles are caused by certain or
ganisms or bacteria in the soil. 1t now
bacteria for each legume grown,
though some forms of bacteria in time
learn to live on two or more legumes.
1t is a matter of great Importance
to furnish the soil lacking the neces-
sary organisms with good supply Of
the right kind of bacteria. There are
several methods of putting the neces-
sary bacteria in the soil A good way
of inoculating the soil Is to soak the
seed at planting time in water in
which the soil from field where the
legume has been successfully grown
for number of years has been stirred.
Another excellent way of inoculating
the soil is to drill In with the seed
soil in which that particular legume
has been grown for number of years.
Care should be taken to keep the soil
out of the sunshine from the time it
is taken from the field until it is work
ed into the soil of the next, as the
rays Of the sun will kill the bacteria.
1t is best to get the soil and apply it
on a cloudy day, or late in the after
noon.
Nitrogen is the costliest element Of
plant food and is becoming scarcer
and dearer SO far as its commercial
forms are concerned. This being true.

air and a medium through which 1t
can be stored up for the use of sue
ceeding crops is of the highest i'm
portance and utility to use as farm
ers. Experiments conducted at the
Alabama station showed that crop
of pea vines grown on an acre or
sandy soil of moderate fertility con-
tanned lis pounds of nitrogen, and an
acre of velvet beans 201 pounds, an
acre of crimson clover 143 pounds and
an acre of hairy vetch 202 pounds. An
experiment conducted at Louisiana
station showed that a crop OF peanuts
contained 1872 pounds of nitrogen, an
acre of velvet beans 1911 pounds and
an acre of COW peas 108 pounds. When
calculated according to the scale of
fertilizer valuation, the value of nitro
gen was equivalent in amount to that
contained in from 1,750 pounds to
more than one ton of cottonseed meal.
The questions is often asked If it is
necessary to pillow under the legumin-
GUS crops in order to increase the nj
trogen in the SOIL OF course, the per
cent of the fertilizer value Of the
fallen leaves, stems and roots OF the
leguminous crops left in the ned at
harvesting time vary. However, the
fallen leaves, stems and roots usually
contain about one-third of the MANURE
al value of the entire weight of the
leguminous crops. This being true,
we are in a position to assert posi-
lively that the nitrogen in the soil will
be largely increased by the growing
of leguminous crops, even when the
crop is grazed off or cut for hay.
The live stock farmer should seldom
pillow under the leguminous crop. The
stock should Craze off the crop or 1t
should be harvested and fed to the
stock, and all the manure saved and re-
turned to the land. 1t will often pay
the all-cotton, the all-cane, the all
truck farmer to pillow under pea vines,
soy beans, velvet beans vines and
other leguminous crops, but the live
stock farmer does not need to pillow
under such valuable grazing and hay
crops.
In an experiment conducted at the |
Alabama station a crop of pea vines |
grown on one acre contained As |
pounds of phosphoric acid and 101
pounds of potash. The legumes add |
only nitrogen to the soil and remove
large quantities of potash and phos-
phorus, especially when cut for hay
and the hay is sold or the manure
resulting therefrom is not returned to
the land. 1t should be emphasized that
