fRtE SAMPLES OF COTTON SEED
One Quart Packages of Seven Different vari-
 cites Ready to Sead to Farmers.

l have several hundred packages of selected cotton seed that will be sent to the farmers who want them. The seed are put up in one- quart packages, and have been specially grown for the U. s. Gov ernment for planting purposes. These packages of seed are m de available for the use of the farmers by Senator James P. Clarke, who has received them from the U. s. Agricultural Department The De- partment wants the seed tried out. and each farmer who tries one of the varieties will be given enough seed next year to grow bale, and thus get enough seed for future use. Write to me if you want one of these packages of seed.
 The varieties are as follows:
 1. Lone Star. Big boil: 35 to 40 bolls to the pound; lint to 1s: gins 58 to 40 per cent lint.
 9. Trice Peterkin type; bols medium; lint z6 to inch; gins out 28 to 55 per cent lint.
 5. Columbia Mainly 5 locked; bolls large; lint strong and l | to l z-16; gins 2e to 55 per cent lint.
 4. Foster. Bolls large, about 50 to the pound; mostly 5 locked; lint strong; staple 11s to g; gins out 54 per ce9t lint.
 5. Durango. Bolls medium; 60 to pound; staple
 6. Utopia. Bolls run 65 to z5 to poun Starm pr f; 260 pounae make 500 pouna bale; lint inch.
 z. Dixie. Bolls rue z5 to the pound; wilt resissaat; g5H elt o4 to 65 per cent lint.
 Each packape coatairs a pamph- let describing the characteristics of the varieties of cotton, ana an ex- tended and detailed treatment on how to select cotton seed and how to improve the crop by seed selec- ton. Despite the fact that this article is clothed in language and terms that are mysterious, techni- cal and meaningless to great many readers, yet if you have the patience to read it and break up the big words and high-sounding phras- es apparently so necessary to im- press upon the reader the learning of the Professor" who prepared it, you will be able to get some in formation about seed that will be valuable.
 It is the wish of Senator Clarke that these trial packages may be placed in the hands of those who will >rofit by them and give them a good trial. If you are interested in these seed drop me card and a package will be mailed to you at once.

 Commissioner of Agriculture.

Where Iicorice Comes from.

Where and how is lieoriee ot- tained? What are the proportion S of the trade that produces it?
 A very considerable part of the licorice root used in America is from mar5hy plains in Turkey and Russia.
 This root is not cultivated. but grows wld in large quantities. gen erally in great stretches of open ground where the soil is more or less damp. It is regarded as serious pest and greatly intefferes with cultivation. Much land is abandoned to 1t, while some is ploWed and soWn notwithstanding it's presence. The licorice of com merce is obtained by evaporating an infusion of the sliced roots. i This solidified substance is used for f1ayorng confectionery and beer as we'll as entering into the makeup of most of the brands of tobacco
 The growth above ground of the plant is about two fee, while the root is about as deep beneath the soil. The land in Syria from which the root is gathered is leased from the owners, the condition. as far IS lands that are cultivated, being that the digging out of the hcorice root must cease when the time comes for planting the cereal crops.
 The collecting stations of Syria are at Antioch. Aleppo, Bagdad and Damascus. Around the main sta tions are smaller depots located in the midst of the fields, each in charge of man whose duty it is to receive and guard the llcorice as brought in by the natives. These latter dig out the root with the primitive picks used from the time of Abraham. and carry it on don i n y e-.4.- oLnet Y s5 e4o tnsy can tc the local station where 1t is wei2hd. as tn payment is accord i ing to t0e quantity 5y weight and ttleg receive receipt for the amount aeliv lsd Travelling cash iers mounted on horses make the rounds of the depots. collecting ard paying for the receipts.
 The root is piled in great stacks and when the digging season is over watehman takes charge, and the root remains thus stacked through the winter and the follow ling summer, when it becomes quite dry and is eady for transportation to the coast. Great care has to be exercised that the stacks do not heat or mildeW.
 At Smyrna a small quantity of the root is extracted for the Euro pean trade. and all the rest of this great annual harvest of root. amounting to about l9,OOO tons, is shipped in a raw state to the United States.
 The process by which the lico- rice is extracted from the root has already been spoken of and 1t is in- teresting to add that after this is completed the pulp is pressed, with American ingenuity, into boards which are used in cabinet work and which are said to make up into novel and handsome articles.

Princeton. y. J., Nov. Princeton
will have eleven men OF spirit TO on
nose the Yale football machine neN'
Saturday f. nothing else, but the prac-
tice i'm the new stadium this afternoon
indicated that Yale will find more on
posed 10 her than game spirit.
Fifty minutes of scrimmage against
the scrub resulted in three touchdowns,
whereas the second team Jailed 20 make
even a near approach 20 score. il "as
probably the last really hard day Of
practice for the season. for the coaches
will cut down IN their demands to-
morrow. and on Friday no strenuous
exercise VIII De permitted.
Eddie Hart vas the only assistant
to PenfSld, who gained the coveted per
mission 10 mix with the players during
their work on The field to-day. and his
admonit,ons we're less frequent than
usual. The men threw themselves into
the nrocess oF working out their own
salvation with will that brought en-
couraginG results.
One of the most apparent improve
ments was prominent tendency on
the par. Of the backs 90 dig their toes
into the ground and keep on pushing
even after being hit by tackler
Their failure TO do this IN earlier
games seemed to amount almost "a
't,miditv. hu- they make the scrub worh
10 bring them 20 the ground to-day.
Fred Trengman was the most per
sistent in his efforts. and reapcd cor
respondingly better results by his line
bucl.ing while ne vas in the fight. b.,
he got bad knock on top Of an old
injury and had TO give up work Tor the
rest Of the day. How serious the IL
iurv was could not be told, but II Is

Harvard Building Up a
Defence for Yale Attack

ceEtre again. Wallace not being in any
too good trim.
Wallace is being handled very care
fully. and il is doubtful whether he
will play against Brown, unless for
few minutes.
Bradlee, Mahan and Francke worked
in combination in the backtield. but
late in the afternoon King took Brad
lees place. King has come along very
fast in the last three weeks, and
seems 70 be the best back that has
been developed this season, aside from
Francke. Morgan. who played tackle
regularly with Trumbull until hurt
three weeks ago. got back into the
scrimmage with the substitutes. He
probably will get into the Brown
game.
Elkin. another substitute tackle,
hurt MS leg again this afternoon. and
probably will be Of little use from
now on. The opinion IS growing here
that the Brown team is not going TO
prove so easy as was expected early
in the season. Haughton wants 10
hold his first string men back all he
can. and for this reason the substi-
tctes are getting an unusual amount
of work.
Next Tuesday Harvard's Henley
team will be entertained at a dinner
AZ the Harvard Club of Boston.

Cornell Works Up New Plays.


Ithaca. y. Y. Nov. IL Contrary 20
expectation there was no hard practice
for the Cornell football squad here TINS
afternoon. Practice. however. was strict
" secret. more SO than u mas been al
any time this season.
After going through Few rudlments
of the game IN the open on Alumni
Field. the coaches sent all the men 10
the bascbal! cage AT an early hour, and
there shaved away FOR one hour and q
quarter perfecting the new plays 70 be
used against Michigan Saturday. There
was 10 change in the lineup. but Klein
err was sent in at fullDack several
times and showed considerable i'm
provement in form over yesterday.
Realizing that Michigan Outwelghs
the Cornell line nearly seven pounds TO
the man. Dan Reed paid particular at
tention 20 the defence, which makes up
IN strength for the loss of weight. Such
linemen as Cool and Meheifey are
rather light, but they have been put
ting up a creditable fight, and have
strength and push which can be relied
or.
\ hard scrimma2e is ordered for to-
morrow. but it is probable that the
scrub will get the most Of this, for it
has been the policy of the coaches TO
save the regulars as much as possible.

WARNER SIGNS TO
COACH PITTSBURGH
Man Long Identified with Car.
Isle Indians Gets a Ten
Year Contract.

Pittsburgh. Nov. 11.--Gienn Warner,
who has been identified with the Car
Isle Indians for many years, signed
contract to-day TO coach the University
Of Pittsburgh eleven for a period Of
ten years. The salary which Warner
will receive was not announced, but It
is understood TO be one OF the largest
ever received by a football coach. Duf,
the former Princeton guard, is the
coach who will be replaced by Warner.
Except for brief term at Cornell
Warner has been with the indians al
most as far back as the memory of the
present generation Of football fans
goes. He has formed many good elev-
ems from the Indians Of the Carlisle
school and one or two elevens which
deserved TO be called great.
Among the stars developed by the
Warner system were jim Thorpe, Mt.
Pleasant and EXenGine. Almost all of
Warmers teams have been distinguished d
By their daring use of open plays. Even
i'm the days when the mass play was
the rule everywhere else. Warmers men
played a VIE Cpen game.
Perhaps the most famous trick ever
achieved by Carlisle team was the
hiding Of the bail under players jer-
say in game against Harvard. This
play was good for touchdown from
kickoff

WATER POLO DEADLOCK
Columbia Sophs and Fresh
men Play Two Extra Periods.

Columba's Sophomores battled the
juniors to a tie in the interclass water
polo tournament yesterday. The final
score stood at all after two over
time periods had been played.
All of the juniors points were made
on thrown goals and a foul. while the
second year men scored a touch goal
and thrown goal. The greater num-
Der of thrown goals did not give the
juniors any advantage, as under the
new intercollegiate polo rules this year
a thrown goal counts but points in
stead OF 9. as formerly. The "sophs
led at the end of the iirst period. d
