Crop Yields on the
Golden Y alley Peat Elk
pertinent Fields in 1918

.
The district surrounding Golden Val
ley, a postofice in Marshall county
fourteen miles east Of Holt, the nearest
railway station, is covered with layer
OF peat from - to 36 inches in depth.
Underneath the peat is a thin layer of
black muck, below which is yellowish
gray clay loan. In 1918 the Depart
ment Of Agriculture Of the University
OF Minnesota conducted experiments
with various crops on two fields with
typical peat soil near the postoffce,
there being 384 plots. Nothwithstand-
ing the distance from the railway, these
fields were visited during the latter
part of the summer by many hundreds
of people, most of whom are personally
interested in The cultivation of peat
lands. This brief statement Of the
crop returns is intended chiefly for
these visitors.
A bulletin giving detailed descrip-
ton of the experiments, and the yields
from all the individual plots is now in
{ the course Of preparation, together with
one dealing with peat soils in general
and these will be sent as soon as pub
/. lished to anyone who sends his name
and address to the office of publications
University Farm, st. Paul.

Previous Cropping of the Fields

For the information of those who
have not visited Golden Valley, it may
be said that both fields were on the
same farm, and separated by only few
rods. One had never been MANFRED,
fortified or burned over, while the
other one had been deeply burned in
the autumn Of 1917. Both had origin
ally been covered with layer of peat
from - to SO inches deep covered by
grasses and sedges, and both are now
thoroughly drained by large open
ditch. Both had first been plowed in
1918, seeded to fax in 1914 and to oats
and barley in 1915 and 1916. The flax
yielded about three bushels per acre,
while neither of the other crops was
considered worth cutting. Late in 1916
part of the one field was lightly burned
over and in 1917 fair crop of oats
was secured while on the rest of the
field and on the whole of the other the
crop was again a failure.
In the autumn of 1917 the whole of
the first field was burned over, from 9
to Is inches Of peat being thus removed
and on about a third of the portion
used for experimental plots the black
muck was exposed, while on the rest of
the field the peat remaining was from
10 to Is inches deep. The other field
ed no ash from the nearby burned
land. The peat on this varied from IS
to 80 inches in depth. ..'..-.

GREAT EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM PLANNED

Paris.-General Pershing has signed
an order establishing an American
Army university in France to accom-
modate $4,000 to 10000 soldier stu
dents. The school will be opened at
Beaune. At the same time the main
Office of the Y. M. G. A. army educa-
tiOnal commission will be moved from
Paris to Beaune.
Courses in engineering, liberal and
fine arts, science, music and the like
will be offered. 1t is expected thar
one of the four agricultural exhibits
which have been prepared by the de-
Partment of agriculture in cooperation
with the Y. M. G. A. will be a perma-
nent feature at Beaune.
The Y. M. G. A. war work council
announced that the cost of the educa-
tional program in the A. e. r. had
now reached 100000 a month. Books
and supplies costing $1,3OO,O0O have
been sent overseas. The army pays for
the books and distributes them to the
soldier students.

MAJOR GENERAL PRAISES
SERVICE OFFERED BY "Y"

Spread upon the records of the
Third division, A. E. F., and Just
brought to the attention of the ma
tional war work council of the Y. NJ.
G. A, is a general order issued by
command of Major General Dickman,
which 'Y" officials have hailed as an
emphatic answer to charges that Red
Triangle workers had avoided the dan
ger zones in France and had wrung
exorbitant prices from the soldiers for
the comforts which the association had
sent overseas. General Dickman di-
rected that copy of the order be sent
to every one of the thirty-four men
and six women who went with the di-
vision through the fighting of Chateau
Thierry and along the Marne, to st.
Mihiel, and later into action north of
Verdun and along the Meuse.
The Y. NJ. G. A. has made public
General Dickman's order along with
a communication from Col. ]. c. Rhea
of another division which was in the
st. Mihiel fighting. Colonel Rhea gave
figures showing the large amount of
supplies which were distributed in his
division by "Y" secretaries without
charge.

HUGE ORGAN WILL FURNISH MUSIC FOR
METHODIT CENTENARY CELEBRATION

G HIMMERING, pulsating strings;
~ liquid, sparkling flutes; broad, dig
nified diapasons; militant, exultant
trumpets and reeds from the plaintive
vox humana; the contemplative or
chestral oboe; the ringing French
horn and the quaint clarinet to the
massive, compelling sonorousness of
the great 32-foot bombardo and it's
accompanying battery of brilliant
tubas, comprise the four divisions of
the huge organ which is being in
stalled in the Coliseum at the expo
sition grounds for the Methodist
Centenary celebration to be held in
Columbus, June 20 to July 13.
The organ is being built under the
direct supervision of w. ]. Kraft, di-
rector of music at Columbia univer-
sity, by Moller of Hagerstown, Md.
1t will cost about $4,000.
"The instrument compares favor
ably with the largest organs now in
use," said Professor Kraft. 1T is
much larger than the municipal or
gan at Portland, Me. The organ has
SO stops, having as subdivision great.
swell, choir, solo and echo 1t will
have the divisions of woodwind,
brass, strings, harp and chimes. 1t is
my purpose to invite some of the
leading organists of the world to
come to the celebration and give re-
citals."
Mr.. Moller, builder of the organ,
said: Il know of no organ in the
country which has the power or so
many modern appliances as that be-
ing built for the Centenary celebra-
tion. 1t will probably hold the record
for being the largest organ used for
any religious gathering"
There are three separate blowing
plants, requiring 20 horsepower, with
centrifugal electric blowers and gen.
orators. The console is movable, be-
ing connected with the organ by a
flexible cable. located Immediately in
front of the stage at the west end of
the auditorium. The organ covers a
floor space of 900 square feet and
weighs approximately eight tons. The
blowers furnich $500 cubic feet of
air per minute. Twenty-one miles of
wire have been installed. The pipes
range from three-quarters of an inch
in length to 80 feet.

VOICES CONTEMPT
FOR FOE FIGHTERS
REPORTS OF FRATERNIzING BY
AMERICAN AND FOE TROOPS
DENIED BY RED TRIANGLE
WORKER.

Chicago.-Reports of fraternizing of
allied and foe troops following the
signing of the armistice on the western
front are denied in letter from II. B.
Stecher, Racine, Wis.,, received at the
offices of the national war work coun-
Gil, Y. M. c. A., here.
Stecher was a Y. M. G. A. worker
attached to the Ninety-frst division.
He served for more than six months on
three fighting fronts-at st. Mihiel,
In Flanders and the Argonne. Twice
he was cited for bravery and awarded
the D. S. G.
Before going to France to serve as
a "" worker Stecher was associated
with the Hamilton Beach Manufactur-
ing company at Racine. Formerly he
was a member of the California Ma
tional Guard when he was living in
Los Angeles, Cal. His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. M. D. Stecher, live in Chi
cago
Referring to reports of fraternizing
of the troops Stecher says: Certain
iy there was no attempt or desire on
the part of the men of our division to
fraternize with our much-despised op-
ponents, and had there been, the Off
GERS would not have permitted it. AS
matter of fact the guns were going
right up to the time the armistice went
into effect. You see, our boys have
had mighty good chance to size up
the caliber Of the other side, and had
the Germans shown any indications of
good sportsmanship in the fighting no
doubt we would feel some little re-
spect for them. Having been dough-
boy myself in the past, and now hav-
ing gone through all the fighting with
my division, I believe my viewpoint is
the same as that of the majority of
our division, and, personally, 1 have
the utmost contempt for the German
soldier, his methods and his IDEALS"
