The Senior girl who received a
grade Of "Gp or Sc" in English, dur
ing thir Junior year, and the Senior
girls who are now making those
grades, have organized an English
club. Their constitution, which was
adopted at the first regular meeting
last Wednesday, states that it is their
purpose to improve their spoken Eng
fish and increase their knowledge OF
English literature. The scholarship
requirements will probably limit the
membership. The following girls are
the officers of the club;
Fern Snider, president; Sara Watts,
vice president, Louise Showalter, sec
rotary; Elizabeth Atkins, treasurer.

Reports of county assessors made
to the state immigration depart

60 per cent of the land in cultiva.
ton in Colorado this year is irri-
gated, compared with about 80
per cent in 1909. The rapid increase
in the acreage of non-irrigated land
cultivated compared with very
slight decrease in the acreage of ir-
rigated land, has resulted in a
sharp decrease in the average yield
per acre of nearly all crops grown
in the state. The decrease is cspc-
tally marked in winter wheat,
where less than II percent OF the
acreage is irrigated. compared with
SILL per cent in 1909. There have
also been decreases in the average
yields of other small grains and a
slight decrease for alfalfa, due to
