A number of pamphlets received re-

been bound and are ready for circu-

iects: the handling and marketing
of eggs, the grading of cream, the
use of green vegetables in the diet,
the water economy of dry land crops
and an exposition on American soils,
and North Dakota soils in detail.
One very interesting booklet is on the

and as deeply as possible, in order to
break up the ants nests. A couple of
good, thorough, deep civilizations dur
ing the month Of April will also help
to hold them in check. This will also
assist in destroying the weeds, which
serve as a starter for the aphides in
the spring.
Various kinds of materials have been
tried with a view to finding something
than would act as a repellent and so
prevent the lice from attacking the
plants. We have found that a hundred
pounds of kainit per acre drilled in the
row at the time the corn was planted
served almost completely to protect the
plants, but owing to the European war
it is quite likely that it will be difficult
to get kainit this season. DR.. s. A.
Forbes of Illinois has found that by
mixing the seed corn with a solution Of
oil of lemon and wood alcohol the lice
were very much reduced. This was
prepared for use by mixing one part Of
the oil Of lemon with ten parts of alco-
hol, and three ounces of this mixture
were thoroughly mixed with a gallon of
corn. This did not injure the germina-
ton any to speak Of. The expense was
only about 10 cents per acre. At the
present price Of the oil Of lemon the ex-
pense would be even less. Either Of
these remedies is recommended, espe-
cially on black ground, where the aphis
is commonly found.-J. Troop, Chief in

Farming
THE CORN ROOT. WORM.

Thorough Cultivation ar Aid In Check
ing Ravages of This Insect.
The depredations of the corn root
aphis heavy losses to farmers
every year. This insect belongs to the
sucking class or true bugs and does its
work IN the roots of the corn plants,
where it sucks the life out Of the
plant. Being wholly underground. it
Is difficult to reach with insecticides.
Land seldom becomes infested with
these aphides until the second or pos.
sibly third corn crop. If therefore a
three or four year rotation is, practiced
in which corn appears only once there
will be but little damage done by the
insects. Then, too, the proper fertiliza-
ton Of the soil Is Of great importance,
as it often enables the corn to make a
crop in spite of the aphides.
It Is a good plan to pillow the field,
which Is intended for corn the second
year, as late in the fall as possible

Haulina Out Manure.

The spreading Of barnyard manure
as it is produced is the ideal practice
to follow under ordinary farm condi-
lions, and it should be much more gen.
orally followed than it is. It seems
difficult for many to realize that every
ton Of barnyard manure placed on the
soil before it has lost much Of ita
value through exposure to the wealth
er is worth on an average $3.50 per ton
through the increased crops following
such application" This fact has been
conclusively demonstrated by the most
careful experimental work.

WITH BACK TO WALL,

Many Changes Have Been
Made by Yale Coaches in
Preparation for This Game.

NEW HAVEN. Oct. 3n.-With It's back
to the wall, Yale's twice-dcfcated var
sity eleven today meets Colgate, the
highest scoring eleven In the East. and
the outlook Is far from pleasant for the
Blue. Colgate arrived here today con-
fdcnt OF winning from Yale. though
noi9 would hazard guess as to the
possible score.
Yale ~ thoroughly forwarncd against
the plays which the liamiltoa mon have
shown thus far and defense has been
worked out for them. Whether this Will
he effective Is doubtful Al any rate.
the Blue win have n much stronger de-
Tense than against Washington and
Jefferson II week ago. Numerous changes
have been made from end to end. with
the result that iiud Talbot. who has
charge of the forwards. has set Of
men who average le2 pounds. including
the ends. This compares favoraDly with
the Princeton line. which Will average
approximately Isl pounds as II Is play
ing now.
The signal practice yesterday was not
altogether encouraging. Part OF the
time 1t went we'll. but most OF the time
1t did not. Captain Alcck Wilson ran
the team from quarterback. He will
start the game. but IL Is likely that Bill
Savage also will get a chance. IL Saw
ages showing IL satisfactory he may
get Wilson's place. for 1t seems prob

declared eligible. bingham and Savage
could take care OF the quarterback posi-
ton and then Wilson would be left free
to return to the baCkiicd.
Nale's chance to win against Colgate
lies in the ability Of tho Blue To de-
velop team work. A Yale graduate
made keen criticism this week when
he said: The trouble with that Yale
team Is that 1t Ia team Of individual
players. When they get down on the
opponents lO-yard line the questions
the men ask one another are. can Will
son make his five yards? or Can SEQ
vii make his i've yards?' They never
ask whether the team can mako five
yards"
With manv new mon in strange posi-
tions the team work will count heavily
"lt all depends on what attitude tho
men take and whether they get to-
g"ther or not. II they get together we
will win" one of the Yale coaches said

These players will witness the Har-
vard-Penn state game at Boston. The
Tigers do not expect a hard game with
Williams. but believe that a low score
will result because of the absence OF
such a great number OF regulars.
Ames will run the team. while Lam
berton and Watson will replace Highiey
and Brown at ends. Parisette Will take
McI.ean's place at LEFT tackle and Law
will play In place OF Ttbbott. Dicker-
man will have a chance during tho lat

the former. They have made rapid
strides during the week and should

by the fact that he can kick of better

Athletics to the effect that under the
rules governing eligibility In athletics

ods OF students support which on their
face are equally lawful. honest and
honorable, and. secondly. because the
rule Is sure to be evaded and ''condonc-

man of the Yale athletic committee,
who made public a letter he had writ
ten to Dean lie Baron r. Briggs, OF
Harvard Both Harvard and Prince
ton had written to Prof. Corwin. ex-
pressing the desire of the undergradu-
ates OF those universities that the ath-
letes be allowed to rejoin their teams.
Prof Corwtn's letter says IN part:
"ln not complying with Harvard's rc-
quest that the men who have with
drawn rcJoin their teams. | trust that
we shall not appear to you unGracious
or unappreciative of your letter and
the spirit which prompted 1t. ! wish
that II were possible for us to accedc
to Harvard's request. but ! do not see
how this can he done without serious
harm to the cause for which both Har-
ward and Yale men are working"
Prof Corwin. however, expressed the
hope that the question of whether or
not the summer, baseball rule is fair
or reasonable ma be discussed soon
