WANTS ATHLETICS TO
Begin IN KINDERGARTEN
DR.. Drinker. President of Lehigh Uni
versity. Addresses Alumni at
Annual Smoker.

The athletic proficiency of universities
docs not attract the kind of young men
who want a university education. said
Prof. II. ;. Drinker, president of Lehigh
University. in addressing the annual
smoker OF the Southern Lehigh Club at
tho Cosmos Club last night.
II am certain he said. that at an
institution like LehiSh. devoted to and
known for strenuous scholastic training
and work of a high technical order. a
reputation for athletic proficiency does
not attract students. 1t is All incident
that is pleasing TO the student, but the
kind OF men who seek the kind of train
ing that Lehigh gives. are not moved to
80 there because our intercollegiate
teams win games"
Some day we all hope the simple
knowledge of how to be healthy and
strong will be taught and practiced in
the kindergarten or earlier-the proper
place TO teach it-but at present he said
fact is that il is not acquired earlier
than college; and if every student gets
it thoroughly by the time he is sradu-
ated he has gained something more from
college than his Erandfathers did"

RUSSIAN VIoLINIST RELEASED.
DR.. Brodsky Freed Through L. s.
ENJOYS Efforts.

London March 1c.-As a result of the
efforts of Richard c. kerene. American
Ambassador At Vienna, the long impris-
onment of Or. Adolphe Brodsky, aged
Russian maestro of the violin. in a de-
tention camp at Raab. Hungary has been
ended, according to a report received here
tonight from Venice.
Ever since the news of DIR. Brodsky' S
internment was made public. the Ameri-
can Ambassado has been besieged by
appeals from America. England. and
Italy. in all of which countries the aged
violinist is well known, and that he try
and aid him. 1t was pointed out that
DIR. Brodsky was 81 years old. and that
he had devoted his life almost from its
very beginning to his art; that to link
his name in any way with war was alb
surd. 1t was also pointed out that while
the artist prisoner WAS born in Russia,
he had made his home in Austria for
many years, and considered that country
almost as much his native land as his
birthplace.

Difficulty Experienced.

Much. difficulty was experienced in
keeping the ground sufficiently clean
from weeds so that barley could be
made a successful crop. OF the six
years that the tests were made, only
four crops were harvested and the
average yield of the higlest-produc-
ing variety was 1872 bushels per acre.
Emmer and spring rye have given as
high average yields as oats, barley
or wheat. Prose- has been grown in
field plats during the past three years
and gave an average yield of seed of
% bushels per acre. Kursk millet,
grown on a test plat in 1914, yielded
50 bushels Of seed per acre.
Until within the past few years all
OF western North Dakota and eastern
Montana was a range country. Now,
however, there are no large ranches
except in the rough areas, where the
raising of crops is difficult. The new
settlers raise wheat almost exclusive.
ly during the first few years. After
than they gradually adopt a system
of more diversified farming, including
the growing of other small grains,
corn and legumes, and the keeping
Of livestock.
Uniform Type.
The soil in the portion of the sta
ton where the cereal experiments
were conducted consists of a fairly
uniform type of fine sandy loan, on
which irrigation water is not avail
able. The new bulletin, No. 27O, by
the United States Department of Az.
riculture, Cereal Experiments at Will
liston, N. d., gives somewhat in de-
tail the work with a number of cereal
crops during the years 1909 to 1914,
inclusive. It shows that the average
yearly length of tho frost-free period.
for SO years has been 119 days. The
average date of the last killing frost
in the spring during the above period
is May IL, and tle average date OF
the first killing frost in the fall is
September ID. The heaviest rainfall
at Williston occurred during the
growing season and the average rain
fall from April to July, inclusive, for
the past IS years was $3.50 inches;
for the entire year, 14.9 inches. The
bulletin gives in detail the annual
and seasonal rainfall at the station,
evaporation, temperatures, and many
details concerning the yields secured
from a large number of varieties Of
cereals, and may be had upon appli.

Spring Wheats Give the
Best Results in State
Many Varied Tets Made With Wheat, Oats and Barley at Wilston
North Dakota, Sub Experiment. Station.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Spring
wheats have given better yields than
winter wheats at the Willis1on, y.
D., substitution, where experiments
with cereal crops have been conduct
ed since 1908, by the United States
department of Agriculture, in coop.
tration with the North Dakota agri-
cultural experiment station. The re-
suits obtained at this station are of
especial interest to farmers living in
western North Dakota and eastern
Montana. Among the spring wheats
durum produced higher Yields than
the common spring wheats, except in
the dry years of 1910 and 1911.
Highest Average.
Kubanka Durunl wheat gave the
highest average yield, 29.9 bushels
per acre, of all the spring wheats
tested during the past six years;
Power Fife wheat stood second, pro
ducing 2S.6 bushels per acre. In
tests made with the bluestem group
of wheats, it was found that they did
not yield as we'll as the Durums and
lies, and the average weight pc"
bushel vas also somewhat lower.
The rate of seeding tests with the
blue stem Wheats indicated that the
highest yields are obtained from SOW
ing four pecks to the acre. The cause
If winter wheats yielding less on the
average than the spring wheats is
attributed to the fact that the former
frequently winter kills. Sowing win
ter wheat in grain stubble or stand.
ing corn, however, gives protection
to the plants and reduces the loss
from that source.
Varieties Of Oats.
In testing the varieties of oats for
tie seven-year period it was found
the best three varieties are: Abund-
ance, which yielded, on an average,
&c. bushels per acre; Lincoln, 65.9
bushels; and Siberian, 64.5 bushels.
These are all mid-season varieties.
The late maturing varieties of oats,
such as White Russian, and the very
early ~arieties, Sixty4Day and Kher-
son, yielded much less than the mid
season maturing varieties. Expert
ments in the rate of seeding tests
with Swedish-Select oats indicate
that the best yields are obtained by
sowing from fur to six pecks per
acre.
In the work with barley the scien-
lists found the six-rowed group OF
barley yielded better than the two,
rowed group. The highest average
yield WIS 1919 bushels and was pro
duced b.. a strain of Manchuria bar

Twenty-Five Horses Driven From
North Dakota Farm by Daring
Bandit.

Watford, N. D., Aug. 3.-All the evil
dence goes to show that the Is hours
es lost from the Charles Foreman
ranch Friday night are missing as the
result Of one of the most daring raids
ever known in this vicinity. The
Foreman ranch is in the breaks near
the Little Missouri river and is one of
the largest in Mckenzie county.
The horses we're easily tracked
from the ranch to a hill some distance
away. On a steep part of the hill the
footprints of a man were plainly Wis
ible for several yards. The suppose
ton is that in attempting to drive the
herd over the hill the thief found the
slope too steep for riding and dis
mounted and led his horse.
Sheriff John Ellickson and other Off
GERS are securing the country and de.
tailed descriptions of the horses have
been wired over North Dakota and
neighboring territory. It is believed
the thief has headed the herd for Can
