CHOICE SEATS ALL
GONE FOR CHICAGO
MINNESOTA CONTEST

Chicago, Nov. PA repetition OF
TIL 1911 season is what the Midway
students expect when the MaroOns
clash with the Gophers on Saturday.
After a disastrous early season and
an overwhelming defeat at the hands
of Minnesota, the Maroons defeated
Wisconsin, which had tied the Goph-
ers, and Cornell in the last two con-
tests. The surprising victory Of the
Maroons over Illinois, the conqueror
Of Minnesota, has inspired the Mid
way students to faith in an even
greater comeback.
Badgers Had Feeble Front.
The task which confronts Stage is
a great one, but not such a problem
as would seem by the "a to 0 defeat
which Williams machine handed the
Wilmington eleven from Madison
After the first quarter, Wisconsin re-
allied it was beaten and put up
feeble front, according to Assistant
Coach Pat Page, whe saw the game.
The Badgers have not advanced since
they defeated Chicago in October,
while Stage has revolutionized the
spirit of his team and pulled it out Of
it's sluggish early season form.
Stars "Pep" Up Maroons.
Two all-American players were at
the practice session to help in pep.
ping" up the players for the coming
struggle. Wallie Steffen, the great
Maroon quarterback, who has been
coaching Carnegie Tech. this fall, ar.
rived at noon and went out to the
field. Steffen turned out the best
team that ever represented Carnegie,
holding Pittsburgh and Cornell to
two touchdowns.
Shorty Des Jardien, who coached
Oberlin this season, was back in Chi
cago, glad that his schedule is CON-
plete. The Oberlin faculty expelled
most of the first team of the great
Maroon center for ORIGINATING fra
ternity and shorty" had to build an
eleven out of men who had never
touched a football.
Choice Seats All Sold.
The seat sale for the Minnesota
game kept the business office on the
jump all day yesterday. A long line
attacked the gymnasium to secure
pasteboards at the end of the day.
Business Manager Merriam announc-
ed that all of the choice seats were
gone.

lively high price for new wheat
variety just because it is glow
ingly advertised by the seed firm
introducing it. For example, il
is claimed by seed firms that two
varieties, Marvellous and Miracle,
have wonderful tillering capacity
so that a peck. or at most a half
bushel, is sufficient seed per acre.
Both of these varieties have
been tested at The Pennsylvania
State College Experiment Sta
ton, as we'll as the Ohio and Vir-
ginia Experiment Stations, for
yield, when sown at varying rates
per acre. Both gave the best
yields when sown at the rate
of one and a half or two bushels
per acre. They are much like
Fulcaster and may be strains of
this variety.

Unusual Auto Travel.

One of our citizens counted the

through McConnellsburg. Many
hundred passed through tn a t
day. ,
On Monday, there were two
continuous lines of autos passing
through McConnellsburg during
forenoon hours. From the morn
ing papers It was learned that
towns east and west of this place
had to turn away travellers Sat-
urday night. McConnellsburg
hotels were filled Saturday and
Sunday nights, and the overflow
sent to private houses. Garage
men estimate that there were
500 autos in McConnellsburg on
Sunday.

Make a Sheep Corral.

New interest in the sheep bust
ness is being shown just now,
and more farmers would gladly
start a flock but for the fear of
dogs. Dogs need not kill sheep
to ruin them. Badly frightened
sheep are a great loss to the own
er. Up in Center county, at one
of the State College farms, they
have found that by building a
dog-proof fence of woven wire,
with barbed wire at top and bot
tom, sheep may be protectedIat
night. One acre of ground, d.
vided into two parts, is sufficient
for 100 sheep. A half-acre would
do for fifty sheep. Divide into
two sections and let dsheep stay
at night but about ten days in
one of the enclosures before
turning into the other. This per-
mits growth of grass and the
disappearance of droppings. An
open shed with southern expos
ure will provide necessary shell
ter. See that the sheep are shut
up in the corral each night.

Why Rot?

Wouldn't it be great if all the
farmers of a district kept same
breed of cattle? The cost of
raising full bloods would be so
reduced by reason of exchange
of sires that no one would ever
think of going back to scrubs.
How good it must feel to q young
man to know that he can easily
get an average price of $40 for
male calves, and from $100 to
200 for all the heifer calves he
can producel This is exactly
what is taking place in communi-
ties where all can see eye to eye.
Why not more of this kind of
prosperity in Fulton county?

Clip tlle Young Clover.

Many clover fields were nearly
killed out last winter because the
owner failed to clip the young
clover in the fall, and it blossom
ed and made seed. Thus the
mission Of the plant was fulfilled
and it lost vigor and the cold and
unfavorable weather killed it.
IF the plant is clipped, says L.
w. Lightly, Farm Adviser Of the
of the Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture, it cannot make
seed and will make a strong plant
to reproduce itself next year and
we may with a great degree Of
assurance expect a large crop Of
hay the following summer. Not
only is the clover greatly bene-
fitted by the clipping as the BIOS
SONS begin to show but all the
weeds are also prevented from
going to seed and that more than
pays for the clipping. Then clip
ping throws a lot of mulch on
the soil and few if any realize
the value of a mulch on the new
ly seeded field during the heated
term of the summer. Late clip
ping, after the seed has formed
rarely has any good effect but
may do a lot of HARM"

sowing wheat, rye, or other nurse
crop with it? We asked this once
before, but received no reply.
We wish some one would give us
their experience. There are oc-

would be profitable to SOW grass

None Of Your Business (!

OH no, we are not mad-just
said that to shock you a little to
prepare you for what is to follow.
For weeks we have. been urged
to "cut loose" and keelhaul all
who should cut the weeds along
some of our streets and in the
several churchyards Of the Bor-
ough but who have neglected to
do so. Now, it is not pleasant to
be keelhauled- we never liked the
sensation-and it is equally un-
pleasant to keelhaul our friends.
But, if we can jolly the Town
Council into cutting a few weeds,
and. cajole the young men men,
bers of our churches into cutting
the wilderness of weeds now
growing in our churchyards, we
will not haye wasted our time
and costly ink and paper. Young
men, what would it cost six or
eight Of you to take scythes and
remedy the disgraceful condition
of your churchyard? Fifteen to
thirty minutes time for a half
dozen healthy young fellows
would do the trick, and-well,
you know how proud you would
feel afterwards. Our grave
yards, and some of our streets,
are-no joking-in a deplorable
condition. Some of our ladies
are so anxious to see them clean
ed up that they have offered to
accompany the men and sing for
them while the dear fellows la
Dor. While it may not be your
business to NOW weeds, you
would NOW weeds to please
Her; we know you would.
Therefore, let all the Hers"
who would see McConnellsburg
cleaned up hold a meeting and
lead the "dims" out to the weeds
and see the matter ended.

How the Name Was Given.

The common name, "Hessian
fly" was long ago bestowed up
on this insect by Americans be-
cause of it's having committed
some depredations on Long Is
land, New York, in 1779, in the
vicinity of Lord Howe's old en-
campment of three years before.
The Hessian mercenaries were
much despised, both at home and
in America, and, on the supposi-
ton that these soldiers had
brought the pest with them from
their native country in the straw
used for their bedding, it was
given the obnoxious name of
"Hessian fly"
