Summer Enrolment Records
Are Broken.

The largest summer session stud
ent body ever enrolled at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin registered for
classes at the opening of the session
last week. More than 1890 students
enrolled during the first three days
and late registrations may carry the
total to $500.
Early registrations showed an in
crease of 700 over last year when the
enrolment was $500. A larger
number of the regular university
students have remained this year for
the session than ever before. The
growth of enrolment in the Wiscon-
sin summer session is shown by the
figures in recent catalogs: 528 sum-
mer students enrolled in 1905; ], 128
students in 1909; 1926 students in
1915; 3,213 students in 1919; and
over 1900 in 1921.

The Canada Thistle Patch.

'"That patch of Canada thistle you
see across the road I've been trying
to kill out for six years." says a
farmer of Iowa county. Il had it in
corn three years straight, I have
sailed them, but you see they seem
to be stronger than ever" How
many such patches are there in the
county? How much is it worth to
get rid of them?
We all know what thistles are.
They are parenniaS Chat is they
live from year to year,; they have a
long underground root system and
the more you work the soil the deep
er they go. They produce seed just
like other weeds. The reason many
doubt this is because they have eX-
amined ripe heads and have found
none. But, that is easily explained.
The thistle has two kinds of flowers,
the male born on some flowers and
female on others. We therefore
don't find seed on all plants. Further
more, it is the habit of the thistle
plant not to bear seed in fields that
are cultivated annually, but it often
produces an abundance of seed in
hay fields, pastures and waste places.
Alfalfa Kills ThistleS.
That a stand of alfalfa will kill
out Canada thistle is no more
theory found in the blue book for it
has been tried out with more good
success by farmers Of this county.
Go to the farms of Harker brothers
or Willard Huson, Dodgeville, for in
stance, and ask them to show you
where the thistle grew and you will
not see thistle any more but a field
of alfalfa. Then investigate closer

DEVIATION

T CAN'T vouch for this tale would
l. MT If | could. If there's any vouch-
ing to be done a sailor must save it for
his own tales. To the nautical racon-
teur Truth is an abortion Of scientific
intrigue calculated to put the bug on
romance and adventure.
1t is true, however, that compass
needle is of weak and vaciilating char
acter. Let so much as baiiy hunk OF
loW-caste iron approach the pinnacle
bowl and our high-priced guide be-
comes a creature of decidedly easy viz
tue. The needle abandons it's straight
and narrow north-south line and sub
mits to the magnetic charms of baser
metal.
Deviation is the name of the needles
sin. On a steel vessel each compass
points out of true Though magnets
are arranged about it to compensate
for action Of surrounding metal, there
is always a small error. This error is
deviation.
vitality important to a skipper is it
to know the amount Of error. Also
must he be familiar with what nearby
beams and braces cause most of it.
For instance one of the Canadian
patrols-so the tale goes-had a wood
en- cargo boom secured just forward
of her bridge. The heel fitting on the
boom was of STEEL So near the steer
ing compass was this piece that when
a gale swept the forecastle clear, TAX
ing boom and all, there was some II
degrees change in the compass error.
Perhaps it was youth, or maybe op-
timism in the captain that kept him
from worrying. Or it may have been
that he was bound up to Sydney, his
home port. Or it may even have been
that he was going to see his wife.
Some sailors are that way.
At any rate he kept on in spite OF
rain and fog and snow and sleet. NO
moon, nor sun, nor stars to guide him.
His dead reckoning had to do.
He crawled into 'hole in the wall"
which a harbor is like in thick wealth
er. And though it was late he went
ashore.
Somehow the dock looked unfamil-
lar. The street beyond curved the
wrong way. Certainly there was some
thing queer about the lights.
Suddenly he encountered woman.
1t was his wife. But why should she
have her new suit on as he dlscerned
by the glow of a shop window.
"What are you doing here?' she ex-
claimed.
"Going home, of course"
She led him into a strange house
and said strange things to strange
people. His head whirled. He tried
to remember if he had had more than
one glass Of grog at the landing.
Ten minutes he sat in a kind or
trance. Then someone mentioned st.
Johns. He leaped to his feet. "The
boom-the compass deviation! he
cried. cts Newfoundland I've hit"
They thought him crazy, but in fact
if was his compass that had gone
looney. He had missed Sydney by just
three hundred miles!
