UNIVERSITY OF FRANCE.

GetaoHsheo by NaFoieoh'
In the United States there are many
universities which are free from state
control. but in France there IS only
one university. and it is an absolute
instrument OF the state. 1t is TRUE
that there are schools of higher learn
ing. which were founded in 1870 as
universities. but five years afterward
the title was withdrawn. and they are
now called 'instituts." They are FIVE
IN number and are located in Paris,
Lille. Lyons. Toulouse and Anglers.
But the University of France is an
entirely different organization. 1t is
the official school. 1t is centralized in
Paris and has under it a vast multi
tude OF establishments. faculties. col
iege and primary schools. distributed
over the whole surface OF the country.
Directly or indirectly they all depend
on the government.

the delayed winter kind. Visible
changes are hard to forecast but wheat
and oats apparently should decrease
literally today and corn should also
show decrease. Last year corn and
oats decreased 100000 and wheat de-
creased 100000. For three years at
this date wheat has decreased liber-
ally. Against the Tuesday holiday
the entire list should be purchase on
the first dip today. Week end articles
on products mainly play up the liberal
amount of cellar supplies. Weather
forecast for week indicates light run

BY A. l. FRENCH, Prominent Cattle
Grower, Cascade, Va.
AS our country grows older other
problems besides securing the pres
ent dollar thrust themselves upon the
man who handles the soil. and to the
thinking men Of the south, soil con-
servation stands in a class by itself
as our most pressing problem and
practical means looking to this end
demands from year to year an ever
increasing proportion OF our thought
The crop that is indigenous to a
country is not always the crop that
continues to be held in the highest es-
TEEN by the leading thinking men Of
thar section. For instance. in the
finest blue grass section OF Indiana
know leading live stock raiser and
feeder who is discarding blue grass
very largely for timothy. herds grass
and sapling clover as pasture crops,
because Of the greater amount OF
feed the new pasture crops are pro-
ducing. SO while the grass has not
been much In evidence upon the farms
over much of the south up to this
time the change of sentiment that Is
everywhere present among our peo-
pie regarding the care of the soil leads
us to believe that the matter will be
tried out in a large way during the
next ten years.
Grow More Grass.
And where the trial is intelligently
made grass will surely follow, for
abundant rainfall, much sunshine, a
fair quality of soil and lime makes
grass growing. We have the rainfall
and sunshine ever with us, the skele-
ton Of a good soil is ours yet and a
million or two tons OF lime are within
our borders awaiting our awakening.

OWE DEBT TO THE BEAVER
Good Work Done by industrious Little
Animal Has Not Been Sufficiently
Recognized.

The men who fought the Indians
In the early days OF the republic and
later fought the Indians and British
combined have several times recorded
their gratitude for that great engineer
whose scientific name is Castor can
adensis. and whose everyday name is
beaver. He was a builder of dams to
such excellent purpose. this Castor,
that the water of creeks was held
back, flow OF summer streams was
checked and lakes were made OF
brooks. By means OF these works,
meager and fuctuating waterways
were rendered navigable and troops
and supplies were transported quickly
and easily.
But the beavers fine coat caused
the gratitude toward him to be re-
duced to an impracticable sentiment
Trappers soon made him a creature
rare and furtive in this part OF the
country. His skin became the cur
rency of trade. He was the eauiva-
lent OF flour and sugar and calico and
powder and lead. In ten years. the
TWO big fur companies OF the United
states and Canada received $4,000
beaver skins. and the kill even at
this time averages $4,000 per annum
Nevertheless Castor is regainins some
OF his lost ground Because OF strict
trapping laws. he is multiplying in
numbers in the forest and swamp dis
tricts to the north of Lake Superior,
and in parts of northern Michigan
there are thriving families.
IL hunters will let the beaver alone,
or be little temperate in their
shooting, and farmers will not break
down his dams, he might come back
even to Ohio. Considering the big
part the little animal has played in
winning and settling and bringing ma
terial blessings to the middle West,
1t would be only fair and decent TO
give him a show If he did decide To TO
turn to hls hons coantxy.-Tolsdo
