already been conducted pointed
out the decided increase in value
in a farm surrounded by trees as
compared to a barren farm was
largely responsible for the inter
est taken in this project together
with the fact that adapted vari-
cites grown through the expert
ence of recorded practices was a
safe risk and a decided asset. Far
mers realizing further through
the demonstrations that had been
conducted that these tree plant
ings were attractive in communi-
ties where they had been set out,
that they would be a valuable
factor in community development
due to their attractiveness and
the fact that human nature would
undoubtedly be more interested
in such communities than in the
one where no trees were grown.
The results accomplished in this
project was an increase of so
per cent of the actual farmers
planting, intending to plant or
preparing ground for planting
in the next two years which will
mean that go per cent of the farms
in the county next year will have
a tree planting project under way.

and probably one of the most i'm
portant inasmuch as a system
has been worked out which
through community analysis and
Individual farm analysis has fur
a background for such in
formation which compared with

themselves in their respective
communities a clear picture of

lnce and in which they are not
making standard progress as COM

Quoting poultry schools; culling

and assisting in any other indi-
vidual thing pertaining to progress
sive practices and farming in the
county.
Community Organization
The town communities have
been very valuable factors in de-
veloping a progressive program
of work together with the fine
cooperation that the newspapers
of the county have exhibited.
There are also a large number of
individual farmers who are not
connected with the organized
communities who have furnished
through their many years exper-
fence data which has contributed
largely in securing the results
that have been obtained. Howev-
er the main basis and the back
bone of progress and rate of pro-
gross is through community or
CARNATIONS who have cooperated
as well as the county organiza-
ton which has been one of the
chief stimulants toward further
ing progressive agriculture in
Roosevelt county.
With the valuable data avail
able based on experience records
and the splendid progressive CO.
operation manifested by most of
the farmers of Roosevelt county

appears much brighter for an eff

the tree planting program IN the
Wideawake community in which
so per cent of the farmers al
ready have paintings under way
and there is an intention to plant
the remaining SO per cent in the
next two years which means that
the Wideawake community will
have obtained the highest stand
ard in this respect while in sew
eral other communities there is a
very little development along
that line and which means that
they are considerably behind the
Wideawake community in this
very important and inexpensive
phase of community development
in the addition of considerable in
creased value on their farm hold
ings with little effort.
Variety Tests
In addition to the four major
undertakings which have been
outlined a large amount of detail
work conducted most of which
were factors in accomplishing the
main goal of the county program
which was to increase the quail
ity of crops and decrease the cost
of production. To help attain
this end two corn variety tests
were conducted by Dave Nelson
of Lanark community, and a flax
drew Harbo of the Enterprise
community; a wheat variety test
was conducted by Chas. Hawkins
of Lark community, and a flax
variety test was started by Chas.
of the Anderson commune
ty. A small campaign was also
conducted to encourage the in
crease of the sweetclover acre
age inasmuch as a careful analy-
sis showed that it was a very val
liable factor in both feed produc-
ton for hogs, beef and dairy ami
mails as well as the best crop that
could be produced to help control
soil blowing problems and help
ouild up soil fertility. A tillage|

Dartmouth Head
Says intercollegiate
Athletics Critical

New Britain, Conn, Apr. 16.-(P)
President Ernest Martin Hopkins,
president of Dartmouth College, sees
intercollege athletics in a more crit
ical situation at the present time
than ever before and he says &his
is all due to public interest and the
resulting over-emphasis in college
sports.
Speaking to a group OF business
men here, President Hopkins de-
Tended intercollegiate athletics how
ever. as an essential part of college
life, declaring that unless these are
maintained as by-products of col
leges for the purpose of promoting
team work, men will not go out into
life with the cooperativeness they
should have"
President Hopkins does not OBJ
ject to betting of an individual ma
ture, "if an undergraduate feels that
his team needs the support of this
financial nature" but he objects
strenuously to the gambling pool.
In this connection he pointed out
that at one time there was posted
at Hanover a statement that another
college with whom Dartmouth was
to play, had $4,000 to back its
team. The statement concluded with
HAS Dartmouth any money!"
I'VE found investigated as we had
supposed" he said, that the money
did not come from the college nor
from the undergraduates nor from
the place where the college is locat-
ed. 1t came from a group of pro-
fessional gamblers. Two of the men
few weeks previously had tamper-
ed with the Chicago White Sox In
the World series"
While not questioning the effec-
tiveress of prohibition, President
Hopkins said "There is a response
bility on the part of the public at
tending intercollegiate contests not
to attempt to demonstrate that the
Volstead act does not work"
In voicing his views in opposition
to professionalism in connection with
college athletics, President Hopkins
declared that "boys who IRE entrust-
ed to colleges should require a sense
of proportion" He pointed out that
Captain Fried, who directed the res
cue of drowning sailors at sea, draws
for a years salary less than Red
Grange gets for one single game.
