MAKE REPORT ON ORCHARD:

Topeka, Aug. 12.-The Kansas
State HORTICULTURAL Society has just
received its S36th biennial report
back from the state printer and the
report is being mailed out to mem
bers OF the society and others this
week. The report, according to o.
F. Whitney, secretary Of the society,
Is in keeping with the former issues.
1t contains the actual experience Of
leading hOrticulturists of the Mid
West.
Little horticultural advice is con-
stained in this report" he added,
"but 1t does give careful horticul-
tural directions, regarding many Of
the problems Of the orchardist and
fruit grower"
The report contains 236 we'll
filed pages of practical horticultural
information and Is considered by
Mr.. Whitney valuable acquisition
to the library of any horticultural
student. 1t is especially valuable as
to the horticultural statistics for
the years 1921 and 1929.

ANOTHER ScULLINd CHAMP
Coming From Rainy River District
Ho0ver's Home
fAssociated Press1

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 16.-The
winding, picturesque waters Of the
Rainy River where Walter Hoover
began training for the spurt which
carried him through several minor
championship events to the worlds
amateur sculling title bids fair to
produce another sculling kind in the
opinion Of rowing critics who recent
ly watched ,19-year-old Hanlon
Hackett sweep the sculling events at
the rthwestern-I n-International re-
gatta at Kenora, Ont.
By virtue of his sensational scull-
ing at Kenora, Hackett won both
the junior and senior championships,
Hackett, according to critics, has
a style something like Hoover's
which was referred to in England
rs decidedly unorthodox. And his
has been carried on under
somewhat similar to
hose Of the worlds champion.
