MOBILIZATION PROHIBITS
RETURNING OF STUDENTS

The mobilization of the National
Guard will, it is thought, shatter the
of an enrolment of 5000
at The Ohio State University next
fall, although it is impossible as this
stage to predict with any degree of
certainty next years enrolment. Hun
dreds of University men are members
of the guard, one company being COM
posed entirely of Ohio State men.
Their salary as members of the militia
will not go far toward defraying their
college expenses, which will account
for many having to withdraw.
at is hard to say how many boys
will be forced to stay out of school
and work next year because they
could earn no money during vacation,
on account of the mobilization said
Lester E. Wolfe, secretary of the en-
trance board. Several have written
for positions for next fall. One man
stated that he had had a summer job
that would pay him enough to make it
possible for him to come back to
school. After working two days he
was called out"
Summer school, which closed q
week ago, had a record attendance OF
1850, an increase of 155 over last
years summer session. With this big
gain in the summer work, the 5000
mark would not have been out OF
reach, were it not for the militia sit
uation. New students so far enrolled
number 524, but Is it thought that the
new ones will not make up for the ex.
pected decrease of the older ones.
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1916-10-06
ADVISES FALL FLOWING.

Flowing in the fall for next springs
crops should be encouraged in most
cases, because it distributes labor
more evenly throughout the year,
favors earlier seeding, improves soil
structure and kills many insects, says
F. A. Welton, of the Ohio Experiment
Station. Only on soils subject to
washing, on fine clay soils and where
catch crops are seeded in the fall is
this practice not recommended.
Usually there is a rush at spring
planting time. Farm labor can be
used to advantage in the fall when
work is slack. Thus crops can be seed
ed earlier next spring. At the Ohio
Experiment Station a difference of a
month in time of planting corn made
a difference of "a bushels i'm yield as
an average of years. Furthermore,
the early planted corn had about 10
per cent. less moisture in it.
Freezing and thawing during the
winter make plowed soil finer. More
moisture has been found in the spring
in soils fall plowed than in unplowed
land.
White grubs, wireworms, cutworms
and corn-ear worms live over winter
in the ground. Flowing in the fall
| kills many of them!

COLLEGE TRAINING
FOR FARM BOYS

Offering college training to farm
boys, the Ohio State University at
Columbus, through its college of agri-
culture, will open the three-year agri-
cultural course on October II when
it is expected that approximately 400
men and boys will enroll for the five
months practice in live stock judg-
ing, dairying, agricultural engineer
ing or horticulture.
1t gives this course the University
throws down practically all entrance
requirements with the exception that
the applicant must have had farm
experience. No high school training
is required. However, the three-year
agricultural students will receive in
struction and training upon the same
basis that is offered to any of the s.
900 students at the institution, who
are studying medicine, engineering or
law.
The University campus and farm
now contain $50 acres and AZ build
ings, the greater part of which is de-
voted to practical teaching and train
ing along agricultural lines. Forty
horses, ninety cattle, one hundred
hogs and one hundred and twenty-five
sheep are used by agricultural stu
dents for judging purposes. Students
in the dairy course produced 10000
quarts of standardized milk and 34,-
900 pounds of butter last year.

ACnMMoN SENSE POLICY.

Kansas is the first state to bar the
drinker from holding public office. The
civil service commission, at the sug-
gestion of Governor Capper, incorpor-
ated, this ruling in the new law. "Most
of the big corporations and other
large employers have adopted the po-
Icy of not employing drinking peo-
ple," said the Governor in his letter
to the Commission. "In my judgment
a state can-w well afford to follow in
such footsteps"
One need not be much Of seer to
predict that civil government all over
the country, national as well as state
and municipal, will soon "standardize'
its business system in like manner
Even the anti-prohibitionis can recog-
nise the value Of total abstinence as
~ business asset.

FINGER PRINTS.

Men with long, tapering "piano"
fingers are apt to desert after short
service, while those having stubby di-
gifts, denoting stability Of character
and utter lack of the artistic tenn
perament, usually stand by their
oaths and make the best Marines, ac-
cording to finger print experts at
headquarters of the United States
Marine Corps.
Although desertions from the Corps
are light at all times it has been found
that doctors, sign writers, and,
strange to say, walters, furnish the
largest number of deserters.
Records, including finger prints, of
all men enlisted in the Marine Corps
are kept at headquarters for pur-
poses of Identification, and there are
cases on record where bodies, with
finger tips intact, have been positive
ly identified through the finger print
medium.
