COLBY COLLEGE

Il wish Colby was singing college"
said President Roberts Tuesday morn
ing at the chapel services. when he
had completed reading the notices of
the various meetings Of the musical
clubs to be held during the day. In
reference to this subject, he stated that
he thought the interest and support of
the musical clubs would be much
greater if all the students would show
some enthusiasm in the singing.
AS is the custom each year about this
time, President Roberts has announced
the result of the annual Christmas
Club. which has become a yearly OBJ
servance for the past few years. This
year the total enrolment of Christmas
donors to the college numbers 1885, The
total amount recei, ed by the graduates
and staunch friends Of the institution
amounts to 303S letters, as surely cred
table gifts. 1t is of especial interest to
note the number of donors In respect to
classes. and this can be determined by
short summary which is as follows:
SOL; Sill; '62-2; '63-4; '67-1; 1914: TO

mary certainly shows the growing in
terest In this novel plan which has
been in vogue for so few years, and
how it impressed the newly made
alumni. From the summary one can
observe that the younger alumni and
the ones who are probably struggling
hardest for existence, have made a
better showing in their response, and
while the amount Of their gift may
not be great. the number of eivers.
certainly looks well for the class thew

ter per acre in the surface soil" saws
PROFESSOR Swanson. ut means In
round numbers that these soils have
lost from one-flfth to two-ffths of the
nitrogen and from nearly one-fourth to
one-half of the original organic matter.
me cultivated soils of Kansas have
lost on the average more than one
third of their original stock of organic
matter. The seriousness of this situa.
tlon cannot be accomplished.
More live stock Is mentioned by
some persons as the panacea for all
soil troubles. If raising more live
stock by itself was the cure. then a
typical live stock county, where more
grain Is fed than raised, should not
show this decrease in crop production.
Butler Is such county, and In the
period between 1872 and 1891 the av-
erage production of corn was thirty
two bushels per acre, and in the period
1S92-1911 the average was twenty-six
bushels.
"In addition to returning the organic
materials In the form of straw and
farm manures, some substances must
be added which restores the nitrogen
removed In grain. A bushe of corn
takes one pound of nitrogen and
bushel of wheat one and one-third
pounds
1.-THE best method for obtaining this
nitrogen is by growing legumes, such
as alfalfa But this nitrogen will not
be restored to the soil if all the hay
is exported from the farms. Some of
the best agricultural Investigators are
of the opinion. based on scientific ex-
Fermentation that legumes on the av
erage take only as much nitrogen from
the air as is found in the hay.
Therefore. the growing of alfalfa, If
grown for export, will not solve the
problem of soil fertility any more than
live stock farming when the fertility
is wasted on the banks of ravine"
