apolis and other points Monday af-
ter enjoying a two weeks vacation
there. The girls report having very
nice time. They spent a few days
visiting with Mr.. and Mrs. John Geib
and family at Gaylord, Mimi, on
their return.
Messrs. Johnnie Eystad, Geo. Far
well Jr., James Spaulding and John
Teska returned from western South
Dakota Monday where they had been
doing threshing work. The boys did
not just like the number of hours
designated for a days work in that
country and decided to return to a
more civilized section, namely, Stew
ems county.
Thomas McSorley came up from
Martinton, ILL.,, last week to look
after threshing and get a crew of
men started at thing work on his
farm south of Alberta. Tom
scarcely has missed a fall in ten
years that he has not paid a visit
to- Alberta looking after business
and enjoying a few days hunting
with some of his old friends.
Work is being started on the ce-
ment garage to be built by the
Braun Bros. this fall. A D. Wilson
has been awarded the contract for
the building. Mr. Wilson is a ce-
ment builder of many years expert
ence and will no doubt adorn AL
berta with an auto garage that will
compare favorably with any in the
county.

He Saw 1t Differently

The following story is going the
rounds. 1t may not be exactly true
in detail, but the lesson is plain
About two miles from Britt,
Iowa, a German, Mr.. Schubert, and
his two sons operate two of the finest
farms in Hancock county. The
farms are owned by the father. Ac-
cording to the story, the old man
was in town one day and said he
hoped the kaiser would win the war
and if he did he would present him
with the best of his two farms. Two
or three Britt citizens informed the
federal authorities at Washington
and in ten days an officer came to
Britt. He sent word for the father
to come into the city. At first Schu-
bert refused, stating that if anyone
had business they could come to the
farm. He was then given half an
hour to report, and did so.
after Schubert was asked to take
a seat, the federal officer inquired
how much he was worth when he
came to America. Schubert replied
bOastfully: I had just $34. l have
made all my money and also have
my two farms paid for
All right, am going to give you
$34 and a pass back to Germany. We
don't need you in America. Britt
and Hancock county can get along
very we'll if you are absent. I will
give you just "a hours to get ready
to leave for Washington with me-
Schubert turned white as milk,
and went down on his knees, begged
and cried, and said he would fly the
American flag from every building
on the farms if he would give him
one more chance to show his allegi-
ance to America
after some of the town citizens
had pleaded for Schubert, the officer
agreed to give him another chance
under heavy bonds"

killing all corn and practically none
of it sufficiently mature for good
seed, the situation is indeed alarm
ing. He was taken out into a field
Of Mimi. L that was 90 per cent ma
ture and in excellent condition for
seed purposes. This man was quick
to grasp the significance Of this dem
OnstratiOn of corn selection and
quick to see the possibility of vast
improvement in the corn crop of
western Minnesota when this type of
corn is grown upon every farm. He
Immediately placed his order for five
bushels and remarked that it was
the best corn he had seen since his
residence in Minnesota. On the way
back from the fields, he went thru
the Horticultural Trial grounds and
saw bed of everbearing strawber-
ries loaded with ripening fruit, and
would not be satisfied until the Sta
ton had accepted his order for plants
from this superior strain. When he
left, he had ordered in addition to
the above, seed oats and barley. This
man is typical of farmers all over
western Minnesota who are realizing
the value of the experiment station
to the agriculture of this section.
The big questions of soil manage
ment, crop rotation, fertilizers, Glow
ers and alfalfa, wheat, oats, barley
and corn improvement are all being
given much attention at the Expert
ment Station. The pure seed pro-
ducts are being distributed as rapid
ly as possible upon the farms and al
ready results of this work are in
evidence. The station cannot begin
to meet the demand for these crops.
Questions relating to soil and crop
management are being answered
from the results of the experimental
projects. Experiments in Agronomy.
Soils, Animal Husbandry, Horticul-
ture and Agricultural Engineering
are being conducted at the Station.
All of these experiments are based
upon the needs of western Minnesota
farms.

Few Changes in Faculty

The faculty of the School of Agri-
culture will have few changes during
the coming year. To both students
and faculty the work of last year was
most efficient and satisfactory, and
this spirit is being carried over into
the new year. We know that the
four new faculty members who will
greet the student body, will do their
full share to maintain this condition.
Miss Fiero resigned her position in
English during the summer to take
up other work, as she has decided to
quit the teaching profession. Miss
Johnson is now married and living
in Chicago. Miss Fitzgerald very
reluctantly resigned her position in
the Home Economics section to &C
cept the position of Assistant State
Leader in Boys and Girls Club work
in North Dakota. The appointment
of Mr.. Miller as superintendent also
left vacancy in the AgronOmy Sec
ton. Miss Ida Olien has been ap-
pointed instructor in English. Miss
Olien is a graduate of Hamline I'm
iversity in 1905 and has two very
successful years of teaching expert
ence. Miss Mae Middleton, a gradu-
ate Of Winona Normal, will succeed
Miss Johnson in Music work. Miss
Middleton had charge of the music
during the summer session and every
one was delighted with the splendid
results that she obtained. Miss An
geline Keenan, will succeed Miss Fitz-
gerald. She is 1905 graduate of
the University of Minnesota from
the Division of Home Economics, and
from the very fiattering reports we
have received Of Miss Keenan's work.
we feel that the Domestic Science
work will be maintained at is pres
ent high state of efficiency.
Mr.. Theodore Odland has been ap-
pointed Agronomist and has been at
the Station since his appointment
which became effective the first of
last August. Mr.. OdIand is a gradu-
ate of the college of agriculture from
the Division of Agronomy and Farm
Management. He has had much ex-
perience in station and teaching
work and is now we'll started in his
work.
The school is fortunate in having
these new. faculty members as they
are all people of experience and have
been most successful in their vari-
ous fields of work.

economy. The saying that a chain
is as strong as its weakest link ap-
plies equally we'll to thing systems.
They should be designed for the wet
test years.
When we stop to consider the size
of our investment, don't you think
it would be good business to stop the
loss that is continually accommodating
thru land that returns us nothing.
We are fortunate in having the
samples of other states to go by.
Iowa and Illinois have spent millions
of dollars in drainage improvement
and the farmers of these states con-
template the spending of additional
millions. Indeed, in many places
the sO-calIed high land is being tiled.
Experience has shown that even here
the texture of the soil can be i'm
proved. Where land is so valuable
nothing should be left undOne to i'm
prove its producing qualities. Sure
ly we should not hesitate in drain
ing at least our wet lands.
Drainage of any particular piece
of land is a comparatively simple
matter. The same general principles
will apply everyWhere-the direct
method Of doing the work will vary
in different localities. The School of
Agriculture is considering drainage
Investigations in order to assist in
every possible way with improve
ment of this kind. How much can
reasonably expect from my nom
productive land? How much will it
cost to obtain these results? What
system of thing should 1 use? These
and dozens of similar questions we
are trying to answer. We have al
ready gathered a great many facts
which we believe will be of value.
We expect to obtain more. We hope
that the time will soon come when
every farmer will improve his non
productive land by drainage.

School Will Open October l

The season this year has been most
favorable for farm work. All the
shock threshing and most of the
stack threshing is now done and the
early frosts have made it necessary
to cut all of the corn. The western
Minnesota farmer has his blowing
we'll started, and the end of his fall
work is in sight. Seldom has the
season been so favorable and as a
result, it will be easier for boys and
girls to come to the Agricultural
School this fall than it has for the
past few years. Taking advantage
Of this condition, it will be possible
for school to open as usual on Octo-
Der 1. Many inquiries are coming in
and prospects for normal enroll
ment become brighter as the date of
opening approaches. All courses will
be offered as usual and it will not
be necessary to shorten the school
term.
