SOME PROFITABLE YIELDS
DESPITE WATER SHORTAGE

John Kass harvested 66S bushels
Of wheat from eleven acres Of land
on the old Wilson brothers farm
southeast of Jerome, fraction over
sixty bushels per acre
Perry Dodd harvested twenty-five
acres which went fifty bushels per
acre on his land two miles northeast
Of town
w. p Box threshed fifty acres OF
wheat on his farm two and one-half
miles west of town last week which
averaged ffty-one bushels per acre.
Mr.. Box also had four and one-half
acres which averaged eighty-three
bushels per acre. Mr. Claar. whose
outf. did the threshing, said this
was the biggest yield he had had so
far, considering the number of acres.
At the market price of wheat the
fifty acres brought $50 per acre. and
the four and one-haf acres brought
S15l per acre.

is a fact that none of them had as
much water as they wore accustomed
TO having, or as much as they woulc
have had were it not for the unfor-
tunate water situation this season,
and the question naturally arises in
ones mind. what kind of yields dc
they have when they get all the
water they need or can use.

A VERY INTERESTING and vigor-

America over the differences and veria-
tons in the English language as spoken
and written in the two countries, and
whether or not tho breach between
the two Is growing wider and will ultl-
mately result in different dialects or
languages. as has been the case with
Spanish and Portuguese. The Discus
sion. which is an old one, has been
greatly stimulated by the fact that so
large a number of Americans have re-
Gently visited Great Britain with our
army, navy and other forces, and have
consequently had an opportunity TO
hear English as it is spoken in England
They have also given the Britishers a
chance TO hear the colloquial language
of America, and even our slang. The
Academy of Arts and Letters has fur
thcr intensified and stimulated the dis
cussion by writing articles on the sub

their views Of how far apart the Brit

The newspapers are arraigned as the
worst offenders against the English
grammar and photography. Why
should we be allowed to spell the word
"story" instead of the correct English
spelling. storey" "pajama" instead of

every Englishman knows, is the right

The four college classes will be taught
By some Of the leading educators in the
Jesuit Order. All the subjects leading
to an A B. degree will be included. with
philosophy as taught by the Jesuits for
many years a special feature.
When the Government organized the
Students Army Training Corps last fall
Brooklyn College deemed 1t advisable
to send its students to Fordham Uni
versity and temporarily discontinue the
college course in Brooklyn. When the
s. a T. passed out of existence a rumor
was circulated that Brooklyn College
might be permanently dropped and only
high school department maintained in
Brooklyn.
Father Krjrn has always been a strong
champion of Brooklyn College. He sent
his plans to the head of the Jesuits in
Rome and word came to-day for him
to reopen the college and do everything
possible to make It one of the foremost
institutions of its kind in the country.
Father Krim believes that the Long ISL
and diocese. with Its million Catholics,
Is fertile field for a Jesuit college, and
he Is confident that the Brooklynites will
strongly support him In a campaign he
has mapped out to boom the college.
In this campaign the alumni will take

first stage In a broad plan to erect a
system or metropolitan communities at
Columbia and to change radically Amer
lean university methods of teaching
spoken languages.
Next fall according to present plans,
will witness an extension of the idea to
other languages until finally each spoken
language such as French, Spanish and
Russian will have a home of its own In
which the tongue and atmosphere OF
each of the nations included will be as
distinctive as in the homeland itself.

starting point OF the new system. Is In

French. The group of young women
who are taking the course, for which
they receive academic credit, are under
her chaperonage. The house Is utilized
as a dorm'tory and meals are served
there. Conversation Is entirely in
French. Even food IL ordered in that
language. English is barred TO the
smallest detail of living, and IL one can
not make herself understood in French

panying her failure to make herself

arises from the conviction based upon
experience that the old method of teach
ing spoken languages possessed faults
too obvious to be longer Ignored, II Is
explained. The ideal way, It Is realized,
Is to study a language by residence in
the country in which It Is the national
tongue. This being impossible for most
persons because Of the expense and other
considerations. the Columbia idea Is to
bring that country TO America France
by the establishment of French house
this summer is the first country to be
thus transpianted.
The work of the house Is supplemented
by special French courses given In small
sections and under native teachers. A
similar course emphasizes Castlllan
Spanish and the idiomatic. speech OF
South America.
Prof. John J. Cooss, assistant director
OF the summer school, says that be-
ginning in September there will be a
marked increase in the number OF
spoken languages to be offered at the
university through tho department OF
extension teaching. These courses will
include Arabic, Armenian, Danish-Nor-
wegian, English, French. German. Ice
lardic, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Portu-
Croatian, Spanish and Turkish. Prof
