NATIONAL TITLE

It's looking just a wee bit ahead,
but Jock Sutherland, of the unde-
feated University of Pittsburgh
eleven, has already started drilling
for the game with Ohio State. which
will feature the grid card on Novem.
Der 2. There's game with Ale
gheny College on the schedule for
the Panthers next Saturday. but
that s hardly more than "breather"
for the powerful Pitt eleven, and 1t
is doubtful whether the regulars will
play for more than two periods
against the Allegheny team.
When. the game between Ohio
State and Pittsburgh was first sched.
uled, the president of Pittsburgh wa s
quoted as saying, This will be a
championship game. Pittsburgh will
be the Eastern champions and Ohio
state the Western, and when our
teams meet In Pittsburgh on No
vember 2 the game will decide the
national title"

Michigan and Iowa have fallen be-

FTET.D DAY

Field Day is the one day OF the
year that Freshman and SoPno-
mores are given a chance to snow
their strength and supeT1orlsy -
an unusual way. Last I1u5su ~
as soon as the bell SOUNDED, LUG
Frosh and Sophs scampered ouI ~

thev soon reappeared suitably De-
decIed in the products OF mamma s

Things went pretty smoothly for
botb classes until the wild hunt
far the buried football. By-stand-
ers could see nothing but pile
of dirty rags in the center OF the
field and a few projecting arms
and legs. Those who permitted
themselves to indulge in private
scraps were padded by the offlc-
ials and sent beck into the rag
pile. -
The combat was close and to the
agony of the onlookers, remained
a tie through all the events until
the Tug of War. The Freshmen
boys, backed by Bud Hodgson,
pulled in vain and winning Sophie
mores had the pleasure of seeing
the Frosh play "ducky."
Some of the Frosh said that if
they had known how powerful Mr..
Clark's lusty "Heave Hos" were,
they would have kidnapped him
for a mascot.

At no time, however, was the or
ange and black goal in danger:
The game started with Tom
Brown at end, Brue at tackle,
Rupp at guard, Hatch at center,
Hitler at guard, Nelson at tackle
and Hinke at end. In the back
field, Frazier at full, Preston at
quarter, McGahey, half and Craw-
ford, the other half. There were no
flashlights in the game, just the
same old hard fighting men that
team together to make a tough ag-
gregation.
Coach Linden says the boys look
ed fair at Grandview the other day
but they still have room for i'm
provement. He also said that with
the same fight that prevailed thru
out the game, after the squad had
been put in shape they will make
it plenty tough for any of the .
opponents!

MEASURING HAY IN STACKS

The following formula has been
taken from "Henry's Feeds and
Feeding" and is formula which
has been worked out by the u. S.
ID. A. and probably comes as near
being adaptable to varying condi-
lions of stacks and shapes and
sizes of stacks, as any rule work.
ed out. No rule can be worked out
definitely as conditions vary SO
very widely. The formula is as
follows: F x o x w x L equals the
volume.
In this formula o equals the
over, that is the distance from the
base of the stack on one side, over
the stack, and to the base on the
other. w is width of the stack and
L is the length of the stack. The
value of F varies with various
stacks as follows:
For stacks Sd as high as they
are wide: F is OBS for a narrow
or triangular stack; OBS for med
ium full stacks or a stack which
is not too narrow, and which car
ries its width up fairly well to-
ward the top; OBJ for full rounded
stacks, that is, stacks of good
width and carrying their width up
well to the top.

FERTILIZATION
The fertilization of crops in this


The fertilization of crops in this
section is one of the problems
which is more or less of ques-
ton with Everyone including the
growers and those working with
growers, whether they be the
county agent or horticultural men,
or field representatives of fruit
concerns. Some work has been
started on alfalfa which is giving
definite results the first year and
which points clearly to the need of
phosphates and possibly an ad-
dition of nitrates in some soils in
order to get the crop started. Some
work is being done on asparagus,
Strawberries and tree fruits. The
work being done on asparagus,
has included the use of nitrates.
potash and phosphates but no rec
concentrations have yet been poss-
ible from the results of this fer
tilization probably due to the fact
that the piece was already heavily
fortified with manure. The work
on Strawberries seems to show
clearly that nitrates give best re-
suits especially where the ground
has been reasonably good care be
fore being put into strawberry
crop. Mr.. Armstrong recommended
for the strawberry patch the ap-
plication of the fertilizer during
February and again during the.
summer Immediately after the har-
vesting of the crop and the patch
was cleaned up for new growth.
Judging from all results that we
have seen, we would recommend
fertilizer carrying from 5 to sc
of nitrates, possibly $50 of phos-
phoric acid and not over 29o of
