GREAT MARBLE HOME
OF FIELD MUSEUM
OPENS In CHICAGO

Chicago May 3.-The great marble
home of the Field Museum of Natural
History which has cost SO. 10000 Will
be opened here tomorrow. The struc-
ture forms one of the most impressive
features of Chicagos downtown lake
front Ua
II has made the museum, which con-
tests fH' American supremacy with
the American Museum of Natural His
tory in New York and stands among
the four leading scientific institutions
of the world, readily accessible 10 the
city public.
Hitherto the Field Museum has been
located in Jackson Park in the old Fine
Arts Building OF the Chicago World $
Fair. which gave the museum birth.
The new building follows the plan Of
the old.
1t has taken seven months to move
the collection from the southside 10
downtown. Spur railroad lines are
established from the two buildings to
a railroad line and in addition motor
cars were used. A year was assigned
for the task and its completion in five
months less is regarded by the museum
staff as a remarkable achievement.
The job made the longest moving day
the west has yet seen.
There is nothing comparable 10 the

close of 1893 10 commemorate the
Worlds Fair of that year. Marshall
Field, Chicago merchant, insured the
success Of the project with a subscrip-
tion of 81 900 900 and the museum took
it's name from its chief donor Mr.
Field gave subsequent financial sup
port during his life time and in his
will left 81 900 600 for Il building fund

@. U. PREPARES
FOR ANNUAL INTER.
SCHOLASTIC MEET

Norman, May al Specially Humid
reds of entries in the non-athletic events
alone marked the opening of the last
heavy stretch of work preliminary to
the seventeenth annual interschoas-
tic meet at the University OF Oklahoma
May 5, and 7. Officials are certain
that interest for the meet will far sur
pass that of any previous year. The
addition of II new non-athetic events
TO the program has been the important
factor in literally doubling work of
the clerical staff that is now engulfed
in setting the stage for the opening
numbers.
PreliminareS in music contests,
division of orchestra contests. and pre-
liminaries in public speaking will be
absolutely necessary as had been eX'
pected because Of the immense number
of contestants, officials said These
early eliminations win be in piano,
voice and glee club. Each division will
be separated into two or three sections
and winners from each section Will
compete in the finals. Glass or
chestra will be those composed of Is
or more members and Glass r orches-
ira will contain less than IS players.
Preliminaries and finals in public
speaking as we'll as those in music will
be held Friday, May G, according TO
the program. Schools will be limited
TO one representative each in drama
tic reading, standard Grafton and orlgi-
nal grafton.
Interdistrict, semi-final and finals in
Class A High School Debating League
will be held Wednesday and Thursday,
May and 5. Finals will be in univer-
sity auditorium Thursday, May 3.
AS the time for the meet approach
es, the state university faces its usual
housing problem which this year has
become an unusual one. Student or
gauizations at the University are maxi

able rooms. After this campaign, en-
ergency quarters to accomodate the
overflow will be arranged. Visitors
who arrive late are asked TO bring part

Such bond as there was between

Scarcely anything ON the farm Ii
more distressing TO view than a lot Of
hens going into cold weather without
enough feathers to keep them warm.
Ii Is much like a man wearing a
palm beach suit with snow on the
ground, and trying to seem uncon-
cerned about 1t. or the chap who leaves
off his overcoat in zero weather to
harden hlmself-so he says.
Forcing the Molt unwise.
But there doesn't seem to be any
help for the unhappy poultry minus
their winter clothing. Much was said
a few years ago about forcing the
molting Of hens, controlling 1t. and so
arranging things generally that the
hen would get back on the job Of lay
ing eggs with less delay. An expert
enced New York poultryman declared
he had solved the problem by cutting
down very materially the hens rations
for several days. This was followed
by heavier feeding than ordinarily.
The menu, or the lack Of 1t, stopped
laying, and often resulted In molting
at once.
The results were not so satisfactory
as had been hoped. In many cases
the hens did not finish the molt much,
If any, quicker than IL they had been
let alone. 1t didn't seem possible by
this means to control the time at
which the hens could be brought back
to laying. Egg production could be
stopped all right, but 1t couldn't be
resumed any earlier than usual, and
sometimes II looked as IL 1t had been
stopped permanently. Obviously, this
wouldn't do.
One of the chief attractions of poul-
try keeping is a constant supply of
eggs, let the feathers fall when they
may. So the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture doesn't advise any
one to try systems that seem in con-
flict with nature, who seems to have
q way of her own In such things.

So, with present labor costs, II farm

and still get the same corn yield he

such program is probably too
much to expect, but the United States
Department of Agriculture points out
that the American farmer is getting
altogether too little yield from his
corn land. Just about this time of

Prepare for Next Years Crop.
Now, or a little later, American
farmers have an opportunity to start
increasing next years corn crop by
the selection of seed. Every spring
there is frantic search for good seed
corn, and much inferior seed is
planted, with resulting inferior yields.
The loss is largely due to delay or
negligence. Autumn is the time to
prepare for profitable corn crop the
following season.
Any intelligent farmer can go into
his corn field when the corn is mature
and select better seed than he can
buy next spring. Unless a community
has an experienced and honest corn
breeder, the best place for the farmer

has generally proved successful In that
particular locality. Too many people
consider seed good simply because 1t
will grow. To be first class, seed corn
must be-:

soil conditions where 1t is to be
planted.

3. Well matured and preserved from
ripening time until planting time in a

4. Free from disease and insect In
jury. Such freedom may indicate re-
sistance to infection.
AS soon as the crop natures, go
through the field with picking bag
and select ears from the stalks that
have produced the most good corn

vantages such as excess of space,
moisture, or fertility. Avoid the large

continue In any large degree.
The growth OF feathers. like all
other growth calls for a plentiful sup
ply of protein In the ration. Mostpoul-
try raisers, however, make no effort to
feed special ration at molting time,
but continue to give the laying ration
which the hens have been getting
right along. This is good practice be-
cause a laying ration contains pro-
tein which goes into the forming Of
feathers. since egg production practi-
cally ceases when the molt begins.

there is liberal supply Of protein
