Prof. Nj. NJ. Fogg, president OF the Ne
braska High School Debating league. is
organizing the work of the league for the
year over seventy high schools were
represented in the debates last year. and
already a half dozen new schools are
applying for admission. The question that
will be debated is that OF government
ownership and control or operation Of rail-
roads Through the debating and public

reau, unusually complete sets of abstracts
from over fifty articles, books and re-
Views on the question are being sent to
the schools of the league. They aid in
the cases where limited library facilities
are to be had. Prof. Fogg returned re-

rather depleted at the beginning OF the

Class Elections Coming.

Glass elections will be held Tuesday,
October 6. in Memorial hall. Candidates
for election have been notified that they
must register with the registrar by Fri
day, October 2, o'clock Elections are
held under the Australian ballot system
and the polls will be open from 9 to II
and 2 to o'clock on the day of the cleo
ton. Registrar Greer is referring candi-
dates to the section of the rules govern
ing class elections which states that
soliciting of votes by cards is a violation
of the rules. In the past cards have been
freely used, but Mr.. Greer believes that
they are an unnecessary expense, and that
as far as possible no money should be
spent in getting a class office. He hopes
to eliminate the practice, although ad-
hitting that cooperation of the cand-
dates will be necessary to observe a rule
which has been practically a dead letter.

sad cases of salvation and even
death from its use.

Success Talks.

Without men who dream the
world advance but little. Yet
these men who have dreamed
have not slept. Their dreams
were visions of a wide-awake
mentality, the imaged goals of
purpose.
Other men have dreamed, and
their dreams have moved the
world not at all. For they
dreamed in the sleep of mental
inertia. Their dreams were Of
visions, not of proposed things,
but air castles Of a lazier desire.
They dreamed, not OF the things
they willed to do or to be, but OF
the things they wished Fate,
unaided by themselves, would
bring to pass for them.
So There are two kinds of
dreaming productive and un-
productive, active and idle. The
first kind kind often come true.
because they are MADE to come.
But the other knd-well, they
are never anything but dreams.
So don't fear being called d
dreamer" If your drea us are Of
tue right sort. For they will
lead you on TO bigger and better
things, to the things toward
which they inspire you to strive.
Ayoung man without dreams of
this s0rt--SOme Call it magma
ton, some visualized ambition
lacks one OF the greatest success
incentives that can be given to
man.
But if you are d dreamer of
the other sort-but beware! If
you wean your mind from work
to feed it idle envy or the soap
bubbles of lazy visioning-wak e
up! Wake up before those
dreams turn into nightmares of
Incompetence and failure!

FOR
CORN BREEDING
Best Method for Improving Quail
ity Of Product.
PERFECT EARS VERY RARE
BY A. N. HUME, Agronomist, South
Dakota State College.
A Brown county farmer writes:

A Brown county farmer writes:
II am writing to ask you to send
me n perfect ear of large white
dent corn. I am going to plant it
separate and take good care of it, and
detassel every other row next fall.
] think that in this way l will have
some fine corr in three or four
years"
Reply by DR.. Hume:
"In regard to a perfect ear of corn,
it would be utterly impossible for me
to send one, especially because we
have nc perfect ears of corr here at
the Experiment Station, and, in fact,
| never saw a perfect ear. AS a mat
ter of fact, so far as score card ears
are concerned. we have no great num-
Der of remarkably good mes here.
The ones we have were gathered up
from one place and another merely
to use as Illustrations.
There is another reason why it
would not be worth while for us to
send a single ear to nyone for the
purpose of starting a separate breed
ing block, even if we had such an
ear. The eason is this:
1T one should take a single ear of
corn and plant the kernels from it in
a plot entirely separated from any
other corn, where nc cross p%ollena-
ton would occur, and later take seed
from this block, planting it the fol-
lowing year, also entirely apart from
any other corn, continuing in this
manner for several years, one would
find that his work resulted altogeth,
er in failures.
"The reason is that such close Sc
lection of seed for several genera
tons would produce inbreeding to
such an extent that the strain would
degenerate.
"In order to get practical results
with corn breeding, | would really
urge you to make a start by selecting
several excellent seed ears from corn
which has already proved to do we'll
somewhere in your community. l
would, of course, suggest that you
start with some unmixed variety.
after you have secured say one
hundred nice ears of such we'll adapt
ed corn, plant them by the ear row
method in a block by themselves.
For practical purposes, it may be
we'll to plant this breeding block on
one side of your large corn field, pro-
viding, however, that the entire corn
field shall be planted with the same
variety Of corn as the breeding block.
Harvest the rows of the breeding
block separately and gather seed for
the coming year from only the high
est yielding rows.
Such directions for a breeding
block are rather brief, but if followed
out they will lead to improvement in
yield and quality of corn"

SIMPLE PLAN FOR
ROTATION OF CROPS
Plant Ground to Corn Every
Third or Fourth Year.
INCREASED YIELD THE RESULT

Rotation Of crops means growing
in some regular succession. One of
the simplest is to introduce a corn
crop every third or fourth year in
stead of growing the same crop every
year. Fifteen years investigation at
the North Dakota Experiment Station
on putting in a crop of corn every
fourth year instead of growing wheat
continuously resulted in securing
more wheat in the three years than
was formerly grown in the four
years. The total yield Of wheat on the
fleld that grew this crop continuously
was 206 bushels. The yield Of wheat
for the same period on the field that
had corn every fourth year and wheat
the other three was 1881 bushels.
On another field similar to the last
the wheat yield was 1924 bushels,
or 5G% bushels more than on the
field that grew wheat every year. On
the two last fields there were also four
corn crops in the bargain. The total
return for the fifteen years from the
acre continuously in wheat was
$l09.39, while the acre in corn one
year followed by three years of wheat
returned $1,000, and when the corn
was MANFRED the returns went to
$196.09.
This shows the advantage that
I'M from adding one crop as we'll
as the added returns in grain when
some of the crops are fed and the
manure returned to the land. If the
animals On the farm are good ones
they will return a good deal more
than market prices for the feed con-
sumed. This can thai the rota-
ton of crops will increase both Yields
and profits.
To ecure the best results from a
rotation of crops live stock must be
kept. The rotation of crops with live
stock balances up the farm operations
in many ways. The fertility is main
tanned; the labor is distributed and
can be used to better advantage;
horse labor is better distributed; the
income is made continuous; weeds,
plant diseases and insects are re-
duced; the returns are increased and
made more certain. If one thing
fails there are others to fall back on.

ALFALFA FOR CATTLE,
Experiments Show Good Results in
FEEDING Steers.

In Kansas it was found that in feed
ing steers with corn-and-cob meal and
alfalfa hay, the cost of 100 pounds of
gain was Sob. With c~orn-and-cob
meal and sorghum hay the cost of
100 pounds of gain ran up to $9.06.
The average profit per steer on the
corn-and-cob meal and alfalfa hay "a.
ton amounted to SS.98. The average
loss per steer with the ~corn-and-cob
meal and sorghum hay ration amount
ed to $1.66, a difference between the
two rations of $10.64 per steer.
In Nebraska a comparison was made
between corn and prairie hay against
corn and alfalfa hay for feeding TWO
year-old steers. The results are the
average of three experiments. The
cost of 100 pounds of gain with corn
and alfalfa amounted to $6.29. Fol
the same amount of gain with corn
and prairie hay, the cost was 1892.
The profit per head from the corn
and alfalfa fed steers was $500, but
from the corn and prairie hay fed
steers the loss was 2; cents per head.

launched the lifeboat. Before the boat
had gone 100 feet it was upset, and
all were lost.

Captain Godfrey and Pilmos, the
steward, watched and waited. On the
beach they saw the life W. try
five times to launch Il surf boat. When
the efforts were seen to be futile the
captain and his companions despaired
of being saved. This hopelessness
was intensified when Pilmos let the

Temporarily insane from the suffer

jumped overheard and was lost.
