The Maryland College football sea-
son opened last Saturday and the ia
vorites all came through with victor
les: Maryland beat Washington; Get
tysburg beat st. Johns; Bucknell beat
Western Maryland; Mt. St. Mary's
beat the Tankmen, Villa Nova beat
Loyola; and George Washington beat
Blue Ridge.
Washington College did not show
up as we'll against Maryland as her
friends had expected. At no time did
, she threaten the Farmers goal, and
on both attack and defense she show
ed that much is needed in the way of
sustained force. It is true Cavenaugh
was out of the game. He was the
choice last year for the All-Maryland
quarter, and his presence would have
made difference. Much depends up
on his direction of the team as we'll as
upon his ground gaining ability. When
he RECEIVERS from his recent operation
and can take his place back of the line,
the whole team will look better.
Western Maryland, from all re-
ports, has many cripples on her team
which will materially weaken her
chances with Maryland University to-
day. The Methodists have gotten to-
gether strong eleven this year; but
it is doubtful whether she will be able
to put them against Maryland, since
the membership of this University in
the Southern Conference forbids her
playing with any team using first year
men or transfer men. Since Western
Maryland has strengthened with sew
eral such, it is reported the Univer.
sity will refuse to face her with these
in the lineup. In that case, College
Park will be easy victors.
Hopkins has not yet started hel
contests. Nothing is known of hel
strength. The other Maryland col
leges showed up very weak agains
their adversaries. st. Johns, Loyola
and Blue Ridge were beaten by large
scores. Mt. st. Mary's came through
with win, and pleased her backer
with an exhibition of unexpected prep
aration. The end of the season will
probably see the teams lined up as us
ual so far as football excellence i
concerned; Maryland taking the lead
with Hopkins, Western Maryland, MI
st. Mary's, Washington, st. Johns

Loyola, and Blue Ridge following in
the order named.

Base Ball fans are now set for the
Big World Series and the Little World
Series; the former between Washing
ton d c., and Pittsburgh, represent
ing the winners in the American and
National Leagues, respectively; the
latter, between the Orioles, of Balti-
more, and the Louisville Ky, teams
representing the International League
and the American Association, re-
spectively.
Washington, having gone through
the strain of a world series once be-
fore will have an advantage, some
what over Pittsburgh, and if the
Senator's old timers in her pitching
staff can hold up, the American
Leaguers are picked to win. Covales-
kie, Johnson, Zachary, Marberry, are
all athletically old men and there is no
telling when they will crack. It will
be terrific struggle, tho, and will
Undoubtedly, be witnessed by many
thousands.
The Orioles generally have all they
can do to win from their rival organi-
zation, the American Association. The
Baltimore team seems to be the class
III their own set, and, this year, have
beaten some of the clubs in the "big
show" notably the Athletics and the
Chicagos, after the close Of the Inter.
national season. But when they &C
ur against the winner in the Other
three-A class, they generally let loose
the poorest sort of base ball stuff, ant
more than once have come out on thu
small end of the score.

Of Salisbury; and similar choice ha
been made of Hendricks in the BLU
Ridge League on the Western Shore
No doubt these two men deserve tn
honor.

AGRICULTURE

For the last eight months of the
year in most parts of the country the
temperature has tended to be above
normal, and temperatures for Septem-
Der show the same general tendency
so far, though records are not yet
completed. During February, March,
and April it was warmer than usual
over the entire country, from coast
to coast, and from Mexico to Canada.
That is to say, in practically every
section, temperatures ranged several
degrees higher than the average for
that section during that month. One
frequently finds that when it is cold
in the states east of the Rockies it is
warm in the western group and vice
versa, but this year general and in
some regions unusual warmth has
been universal for long periods.
The Weather Bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture does
not believe that the word is therefore
getting warmer, nor does it offer any
explanation for the warm conditions
that have prevailed, but it gives inter-
ssting facts in connection with these
above-normal temperatures.
In Georgia and other southeastern
States there has been general
drought all summer, resulting in wide
spread crop loss. From to 10 inches
deficiency in rainfall is shown during
ing the first eight months of the year
over large portion of the South and
Southeast. In the vicinity of Wash
ington, D. c., the deficiency in precipi-
tation has been II inches. The very
high temperatures which have pre-
vailed throughout the Central and
Southern states during the last few
weeks have greatly augmented the i'll
effects of the rainfall shortage.
The effects of the drought in Nash
vile, Tenn, are unprecedented. This
city had next to it's lowest known pre-
cipitation in August. Use of water in
the city has been restricted for sever
al months. Wells have gone dry,
some for the first time in their his
tory, and the river has been the low
est on record. Montgomery, Ala, has
just experienced the dryest August in
So years, with the river at it's lowest
point. Norfolk, Va, has also had the
least rainfall for August in So years,
and Elkins, w Va, the least for rs
years. On August IA the temper
ature at Charleston, S. c., reached 102
degrees F., the highest ever known in
August in that city.

Many important problems in agri-
culture are being gradually solved by
the experiment stations and the grist
of knowledge given to the public.
During the years, 1924-25 the various
State experiment stations were con-

different phases of agriculture, an av-
erage Of 10 projects per station. In
some instances projects are finished
in one year, but in many cases several
years may be required to complete the
Investigations and make the results
applicable in practice.
A classified list of the different pro-
jects now being carried on by the sta
tons has been prepared by the office
of Experiment Stations of the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture, which
shows the wide range of subject mat
ter covered by the experimental work.
Projects dealing with field crops

Of the field crops under study, corn
leads with ITO or more projects, wheat
follows with 164, potatoes 1852, cotton
90, alfalfa 80, oats 81, and soy beans
SO.
Horticulture comes second with 952
projects, of which over 400 deal with
orchard fruits, the leading fruits be-
ing apples 115 and peaches As; 1876 in
small fruits; 275 with vegetables, the
leading representative of which is
tomatoes "a; IS with ornamentals; and
SC with nuts, the largest representa-
tives of which are pecans 20 and wal
nuts 10.
The third largest group is animal
production with 926 protests, includ-
ing among others poultry 205, dairy
cattle 191, swine 189, sheep and goats
81, beef cattle II, and horses and
mules IL.
Plant pathology is another large

In addition to the projects carried
on at the State stations, the stations
maintained by the department in Alas

the Virgin Islands have $50 projects,
which increases the total to 5,688.
