with the games OF November p was
successful from every standpoint
Not only was the class OF football
played very near 70 the average Of
former years but the attendance and
interest in the games were refutaton
enough to claim that war would kill

Many OF the schools OF the confer

nevertheless, were found 20 fill these
vacancies and the strength OF the
teams did not suffer anywhere near
as much as had been feared
some Difficulties.
Because Of the large number OF
very competent pigskin hooters that
played in the COME -ence this year the
selection of a Big Ten" all-star team
is one that has its difficulties. The
writer has given careful considera-
ton TO the merits Of the leading men
in the various positions. however, and
believes the all-star team to be named
hereafter represents an eleven that
combines the best aggregate strength
OF the ten teams Of the conference.
For the positions. the writer would
select Bolen and Peabody, both Of
Ohio.
This pair OF W e men are vet
ernns nt the game, adept in re-
celVinE the forward pass, fast
in getting down the field after
n punt and hard men for the Op-
posing backs to circle. Klein, OF
Illinois, and Flynn, OF Minnesota,
would be the choice for the sec
ond team berths.
For the tackle positions there is
nothing to IL but Ecklund and captain
Hauser. Of Minnesota These tackles
have proven themselves the best men
in their position the Big Ten" has
known this year and their work
hardly has been equalled BY tackles
Of previous years. They are in a
class by themselves.
Praise Of Hauser and Ecklund does
not detract from the worth OF other
strong tackles in the conference. how

F. Suffer, Of Elizabeth, y. J., who cap
tanned the Wesleyan football eleven

a summer at numbering in the Adiron-

Dan Kenan tried to put into use be-
fore he enlisted in the United States
army. Kenan had tried numbering
himself and urged il upon the men.
Capt Suffer is convinced Il Is q
fine plan. He says almost q dozen
wesleyan men started the work but
only seven were able TO stick it
through because they found it such a
hard drill. Capt. Suffer said he found
football easy after a summer in the

Use Labor on Crops to Best Advantage

Many farmers deceive themselves in
thinking that as long as they keep busy
they are doing as much as can be ac-
complished. Labor should be expended
where it will count for the most A lit
tie effort expended at the right time is
often more productive of results than
much work done later, which is only an
other way of saying that "a stitch in
time saves nine" Take cultivation for
instance. One reason why the soil is
cultivated is to keep down weeds. Weeds
can best be killed when young. Hence
if we cultivate corn and potatoes, using
weeders and smoothing hsrrows soon aft
er planting will prove several times as
effective as the same amount of work
done later in the season. If one DELAYS
for long between blowing and narrowing
it generally requires more work to make
a mellow seed bed than if prompt work
is done.
The extension service of the UNIVERSE
" of Vermont and the county agricul-
tural agents are encouraging especially
this year those farm practices which
cost little and may save much; such for
example, treating seed oats to prevent
smut, treating seed potatoes for scab,
spraying potatoes for blight and bugs,
spraying oats for kale. and apple trees
for insect injuries and fungus diseases.
A little labor and a few cents worth of
material expended at the right time may
be the means Of doubling crop yields.
II is poor economy to At a field for po-
tstoes, 10 plant the seed, to cultivate
the crop and allow blight to nearly de-
stroy il. Bordeaux should be looked
upon as an insurance policy.
Furthermore such labor as Il avail
