Nebraska and Kansas Aggies. 1t
takes some expert dopester to see any
thing else TO the Missouri Valley foot
ball race after considering the games
of last Saturday.
That Missouri is hopelessly out of
the running is admitted by all. The
Is to drubbing Iowa State college
gave the Tigers at Ames proves con-
clusively that Columbia is in for a bad
year and that the war has played hob
with the Mule StaterS. Also it proves
that the 7 to 6 victory of the Aggies
the week before was no fluke.
AS for X u, her "a to 2 victory
over Washburn might indicate the
Jayhawkers have potentialities but
those who saw the game know they
did not show such against the 1cha-
bods and that they will have to do con-
siderable driving to stay in the race
when they meet the Clevenger Aggies
at Manhattan November 3.
Huskers Have Edge.
Just now the Kansas Aggies and
Nebraska are favorites by far and
wide, with Iowa holding the outside
100 to l chance. And it must be adj
mitted that all dope gives the edge to
Doctor Stewards Huskers over the
Kansas Farmers.
1t is true the Aggies showed they
have wonderful scoring machine by
their 81 to triumph over the Wash
ington University Pikers, but the
Huskers humbled a much more pow
erful enemy when they trimmed No
tire Dame to 0 at Lincoln. Iowa
university went down before the Grin
nell eleven 10 to 0, which indicates
little can be expected from Iowa City
this year.
No Kansas Conference Dope.
No games were played in the Kan
sas conference Saturday that had a
bearing on the title, but many of the
hopefuls found consolation in the de-
feat Bald Eagle Bill' Hargiss' EN-
poria teachers suffered at the hands
of the Haskell Redskins The En-
porians were downed z to and this
defeat will undoubtedly cause them a
great deal of uneasiness, but such a
score is not sufficient to rob them of
the favorite's position they have held
since the start of the season. The In
dams made their Z points by a touch
down and the Normals got safety
and field goal for their 5 ta1lies
Down at Tulsa the Pittsburg Nor
NAL team did come back BY holding

SODA LNr No REMEDY
FOR Hong WORMS

Washington, ID. Soda lye has
no value as a remedy for or prevent
i've against worms infesting hogs
nor is it likely TO be of value against
similar intestinal parasites in other
animals, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Hogs were fed daily with the soda
I've mixed in their food in accordance
with the directions printed on the
label of the sample tested. AS a re-
suit it was found that the hogs re-
manned infested throughout the per-
iod of treatment-2k months-and
that the extent of infestation was in
creased rather than decreased
While the efficiency of soda lye
against worms parasitic in other
animals was not tested, it is prob
able, says the department, that it has
no value. The digestive tract of
sheep is much more complex than
that of hogs, and it is probable that
drug having no apparent effect on
worms in the comparatively simple
digestive tract of hogs would be
equally unsatisfactory in the case
of sheep and other ruminants.
Manufacturers of soda I've are
warned to remove labels on which
are printed unwarranted claims that
the product has remedial or prevent
i've powers against worms, or render
themselves liable under the pro-
visions of the Insecticide Act of
1910.

use of the farm account book issued
by the extension service department.
Mr.. Miller will personally assist each
farmer in taking an inventory of his
stock for the purpose of securing a
basis of capital, The use of this ac-
count book not only makes it pos
siblc for a farmer to determine his
expenditure and income, but further
more gives him an opportunity to
sum up a material valuation of his
labor. 1t is estimated that only 10
