WESLEYAN PLAYER KICKS GOAL FROM

With Wind Against Him, Youngster Breaks All Re-

(By Prank c. Menke.)

New York, Nov 2.-Mark Payne fractured all existing records by kicking zeal from field from the 63 yard line, but you haven't heard much about it simply because Mark doesn't go to Yale, or Princeton, or Harvard.
 Payne's accomplishment is the most wonderful in football history; yst his marvellous feat has been all most overlooked, because some per sons regarded him as minor leaguer," simply because he footballs for Dakota Wesleyan. instead of for one of the alleged higher institutions of learning" in the East.
 What difference does it make what team a man plays with if he performs such an amazing stunt? Isn't it just as hard for man on a small college Nleven to boot ball 63 wards as it is for a player on a big eleven?

What Fertilizers to l

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Dec. 3O.-
The present low price of cotton has
caused many farmers to seek advice
from Clemson College as 10 the eco
nomtc use Of fertilizers this coming
season. To meet this demand, Prof.
j. II. Harper, director of the South
Carolina Experiment Station, has
written a bulletin on this subject.
Among other things, he states that
practically all the soils Of South Car

and fertilization. 1t does not pay to

are well supplied with plan food.

WHY CORN STUMBLE
F,* SHOULD RE TURNED
Corn Stalks Borer Profits Greatly
When Farmers Leave Stub.
BILE Undfsturbed.

Clemson College, Dec. Gothic
corn stalk borer is one Of the "rea-
sons" why corn stubble should not
be allowed to stand In the field all
winter undisturbed. This insect is
one Of the most notorious corn pests
OF the south. Without cutting the
stalks the evidence of its work may
be seen In every corn field at the
time of harvesting by the holes that
may occur on any portion OF the
stalk. These holes vary largely in
humber.
"The point to be remembered in
the life history stages and habits
OF this insect" says A. r. Couradi,
entomologist Of Clemson College, "is
its habit Of remaining as larva in
the base of corn stubble below the
ground during winter. There, there
fore, is chance for those farmers
VINO are friends OF this species 10
do It great favor by allowing are
corn stubhis &c Bsani undistufbad in
their fields during fall and wir,tor.
Destroying corn stubble is not very
easy. except on modern farms where
there is sufficient horse power and
the stubbles can be turned under
thoroughly. M ..'
/. Turning under corn stubble is of
great help in reducing the corn stalk
horer for the next season. Where
thorough turning cannot be prac-
tfsed, there are other methods, such
as busting out the stubble and hanl-
Ing 1t to the compost heap for rot
ting. After the corn Is gathered. the
stalks, stubble and everything else
may be bursted out, raked I'm heaps
and, after few weeks for drying.
burned"
In experimental work O very large
percentage Of larvae was destroyed
during winter where the stubble was
plowed out and left exposed to the
weather. 1t can readily be seen that
when these methods are practiced
by farmers only here and there it
does not help the situation -, .,,,.
muchs The control Of the corn sts Tx
borer. says the entomologist, depends
on the cooperative action Of the far
mers of community. E,,. !,

Can the Slaughter Of
Calves Be Prevented

The slaughter of young calves is
one of the serious phases of the prob
lem OF the maintenance of our coun-
try's beef supply. Statistics indicate
that the slaughter of such animals is
increasing rapidly. due primarily to
an increase In the demand for veal.
In spite Of the fact that veal is Crdi-
narily sold at an extremely high prico
per pound
ihese veal calves are largely drawn
from the dairy districts, but, with tho
growth In the demand for veal, other
sections are marketing as veal in con-
siderable numbers calves that if kent
and fattehed, would have made good
Deer steers. The market for stockers
ana feeders is therefore affected.
various suggestions have been made
to prevent this even such radical ones
as legislation to prohibit entirely the
slaughter OF calves. The fact is not
always recognized, however, that this
pIhctlce 1s purely economic. In dairy
9lstrlcts' milk production is the chief
business and calves are an incident.
