caused much damage. In several
states losses from chalcis fly grass
hoppers and other pests were re-
ported to be greater than usual.
Harvesting operations began
earlier than last year in a majority
Of the Southwestern states; but
started about week later in Utah,
and in general averaged a few days
later for the country as a whole.
The average dates or which har-
vesting began, as reported by grow
ers, some of whom CIT the first and
others the -econd and third crops
for seed, were reported as follows:
July 19-21-southern Arizona and
Texas; August eastern New

In general growing conditions
were less favorable than last year.
Of the total number of growers re-
porting, more than half Of them in
dicated that growing and labor con-
ditions were unfavorable. On the
other hand growers in western Ne
braska, western Texas, northern and
southern California, and eastern
New Mexico were almost unanimous
in reporting favorable conditions.
Likewise the quality of the seed
was expected to be better than last
year in these districts. In general
growers did not expect quality of
the seed to equal that of last year,
which, however, was considerably
better than that of the 1925 crop.

Alfalfa Seed Crop
Less Than Last Year

Alfalfa seed production is ex-
pected to be 20 to Is per cent small
err than the comparatively large
crop of last year. The U. 5. Bureau
Of Agricultural Economics estimates
the production at 42,O0O,000-45,-
000,00O pounds of country-run ICED
compared with about 100000
pounds last year. .
The decrease this year is due in
the main o the unusually heavy
rainfall and unfavorable weather
conditions which produced a slow
maturing crop with a light setting
Of seed in many Of the principal
producing states. This condition
was followed by unfavorable har-
vesting weather and early frosts in
some districts. In the r,,jority Of
principal producing states and dis
tricts production will be much less
than last year, especially in Kan
sas, South Dakota, Montana, Ne
braska and Oklahoma. Decreases
are offset only in part by increased
production in Idaho, New Mexico,
Arizona, and Texas.
The acreage for seed in the coun-
try as a whole was somewhat less
than last year but decreased yield
in many Of the important producing
states was mainly responsible for
the smaller productions. The average
yield Of ATS growers whose aggre-
gate production last year amounted
to one-seventeenth of the total crop
of the United States, was 100
pounds compared with 100 pounds
last year.
In general damage from heavy
frost in early September caused
much greater damage than a year
ago when the crop was generally
earlier. Heavy winds doubtless

1t was decided by the rules COM
mittee that in order to give the Off
Gals something to work OH, that
there should be incorporated in the
rule paragraph which would give
them some standard and measured
space OF time whereby they could
judge whether the men in motion
came to a full stop on not.
The rule allowing one man in mo-
ton, who is going directly or OBJ
liquely toward his own goal line, was
not touched. However, every other
member Of the offensive team, if he
changes his position, must now come
to a full stop, lasting one second,
before the ball is put in play.
1t was decided that the best
method Of determining the space of
time during which layers must stop
could be measured by the rapid
count Of the numbers 1924, which
is approximately one second.
Heretofore many coaches have
timed their Shift so that the men
practically never came to stop, but
now, in order that shifting men
come within the law, it is necessary
that they come to an absolute stop
for one full second, and must remain
stationary, without movement of the
feet, or swaying of the body.
This same rule holds good when
teams come out of the so-called
"huddle." Players who have been
in q huddle and have returned to
their normal positions must also
come to a full stop for the period of
a second. This includes linesmen as
well as men in the back, field.
Heretofore the huddle has been
used by some of the teams in order
that it might give their linesmen an
almost running start. This, of
course, gave them tremendous ad-
vantage over their opponents, who
were absolutely standing still.
In order to make the shift more
hazardous, and to have the teams
respect the time limit, the. penalty
was raised from five to fifteen
yards. This, in itself, is a very SER
ious loss of ground and should have
q marked tendency towards elimin-
ating an evil, which has been over
done.

Billy Evans Says
Prayers Before Game

See where Coach Stage sent his
Chicago grid warriors into battle
against Oklahoma, with "a prayer
that the Maroons would be able to
bear up, should they be defeated.
They were.
Some years ago, Centre College
started this victory by the prayer
route" theory by kneeling on the
field just before the kickoff. The
team became known as the "Pray-
in Colonies" and received much
publicity because of their methods.
However, when Centre surprised
the football world by a victory over
the great Harvard team, it. was the
ability Of one "Bo" McMillin to be
able to outdodge the Harvard play
ers in broken field as we'll as run
little faster to boot that made such
thing possible.
Prayer is most helpful in de.
veloping character but football
games can only be won by OUT
scoring the opposition. Verbal
efforts are negative.
Rockne and Rules
Football fans throughout the
country are awaiting patiently the
big tests that the Notre Dame team
annually faces. Few coaches arr
willing to tackle so hard q list Of
dates as Knute Rockne.
Some Of the new rules, it is said.
have been framed with an intent ia
slow up Rockne's system. The
change made in the shift rule Il
more or less directly aimed at him,
since few elevens Work with greater
speed or precision in their shift
plays than the athletes coached BY
Rockne.
It has always been Rockne's
aim to get speed. develop : be.
wildering offense and let the
rest Of the game take care Of
itself. A great offense has u.
ways been Notre Danes best
It will be interesting to see how
the officials in the big games rule
on Rockne's shift play this fall. HI
insists he will be able to keep with
in the rules without slowing up hi
attack. Other coaches express
doubt on that point.
Rockne again appears to have
another we'll balanced eleven ana
the results Of the more import.
ant games on his schedule will
definitely determine just how
much the new shift rule hes
Handicapped his style q Dlsy.
