ANN ARBOR, Mich Feb, H.
Resignation of Dr. Clarence c. Lit
tie from the presidency of the
University has split the campus
and professional cloak rooms into
rival factions.
DIR. Little will leave the uni
versity June 1, and there are those
who hold that his departure will
leave a blot upon the escutcheon
of Michigan. Others were not
sorry to learn of the resignation,
which, it is reported, was satisfac-
tory to a number of the university
regents.
HE was an inspiration to the
younger men of the campus" one
of the younger faculty members
said.
''He has set Michigan back ten
years." a grizzled veteran of fac
ulty wars said bluntly
DIR. Little, still on the sunny side
of 40, succeeded the late Dr. Mar
ion Leroy Burton in 1925. He
came down from Harvard univer-
sity, young, idealistic and unceas-
ing in his efforts to further the
plans of Dr. Burton and to carry
out his own ideas.
Primarily he led the fight for
betterment of educational condi-
tons among the freshmen and the
sophomores of Michigan He struck
hard blows at his enemies and
took stiff blows in return.
Research professors and stu
dents should be kept apart for the
good of BOTH" he once said An
other time: Emphasis must be
shifted from the subject to the pu-
pill from the dry matter of record
to clean, fearless and spiritual
youth
Statements like these were cages
of battle. There were few neu-
trails on the faculty.
He advocated birth control as a
method OF providing only such chill
dren as could &c cared for. He
wanted to insure former students
against the poor environment

ing in its wake battered and pa

the Ulrichs to leave Czecho Sol

by Ulrich today. He said: Had

it would have taken me six months
to leave the country with my
wife. AS it was | bought passports
and visas step by step from pet

American money, of which a few
dollars over there is a large sum.

that was in his power to do, but
the conflicting laws of the coun-

countered all sorts of difficulties
in obtaining the necessary papers

Mr.. Ulrich described the coun-

far from pleasant state of az

derstand, keep the people in a
state of conflict all the time. Their
every move is hampered and es-

However, the country is slowly re-

World war and the people are all

HAND BECOMES HOSTILE

Because his wages had been garn-
ished, John Lade, a farm hand in
the Truman community, became hos
tile and went on a rampage, only to
be charged with extortion and to
land in the county bastile.
Lade was employed with the Pape
Bros. threshing crew when his wages
were attached for a board bill, and
previous to the garnishment proceed

other members of the crew. 1t was
alleged that he was in an ugly humor
when the papers were served upon
him.

wages from Frank Pape, one of his
employers, threatening Pape to such
an extent that he final wrote him a
check for the wages he had coming
Lade then left the place and headed
for town, first going to the house and
tearing down the telephone wires SC

BOILER EXPLOSION
INJURIES THRESHERMAN


When the boiler of a thresher en-
CINE exploded Wednesday afternoon
of last week on the farm of Arthur
Olivier in Murray county southwest
of Slayton, Pete Wiekeraad, "a, was
quite seriously injured. Wiekeraad
was thirty feet at the rear of the en-
CINE when the explosion occurred and
was struck by the burning coal and
steam. So terrific was the explosion
that the burning coal penetrated his
clothing and caused deep and serious
burns.
The live Goals, which were shot
from the engine, instantly set fire to
three loads of bundles, the straw Pile
and the barn. Several members of
the crew were badly burned about
the hands in fighting the blaze. The
separator, the three loads of grain,
the wagons with racks and the large
straw pile were completely consum-
ed. There was no insurance.
A similar accident occurred near
Madison in Lac qui Parle county last
week when Martin Larson was killed
as the result of a boiler explosion.
Larson, who had has own threshing
rig, arose early Wednesday morning
to move the machine to another loca-
ton on his farm. The fatal mishap
occurred before the arrival of any
other members of the crew, so it was
unobserved.

SON SAVED FROM
DEATH IN WELL

Falling into well 20 feet deep,
Harold Greenwood four-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Greenwood
of Albert Lea, owes his life to the
heroic efforts of his father. He was
saved after he had been in the chill
ing water for nearly half hour.
Mr.. Greenwood saw the accident
and running to the well he caught
hold of an iron piping and slipped
down to the water below. He man.
aged to catch hold of his boys hair
and bracing his back against the side
of the curb he remained in that posi-
ton for nearly half hour, and until
ropes were lowered into the we'll.
Mr.. Greenwood, more dead than
alive and still hanging on to his son,
was brought to the surface. The son
was apparently dead when brought
out of the wei. His breathing had
stopped and his body thoroughly
chilled, was black and blue. A ply
stefan and others worked over the
lad for forty-five minutes before the
first breath returned to the lad.

To Be ShoU Place
IMPROVED VARITIES
POTATOES BEING BRED

Although potato growers have
largely discarded the methods and
machinery Of half century ago,
they are still growing varieties that
are at least 40 years old and since
none of these are entirely suited to
Minnesota conditions, DR.. F. A.
Krantz of the Minnesota Agricultu-
raj Experiment station has been
working for several years to breed
new varieties that will be more sat-
isfactory. So rapidly has progress
in this work been made that DR..
Krantz predicts the new strains will
be ready for distribution to growers
within the next five years and that
they will replace all of the CONNER
cial varieties of early potatoes new
being produced in this state.
During the period from 1850 to
1890 in this country there was wide
interest in obtaining improved var
ieties and this led to the present
ones, but for nearly 40 years there
has been no attempt to improve the
strains. The present varieties are
all obtained merely by selection,
whereas those being produced by the
experiment station are being devel-
oped through controlled breeding
methods which involve careful in
breeding to secure pure strains and
then crossing these inbred lines to
multiply their v:,gor and combine de-
sirable characteristics.
DIR. Krantz began his work at Uni
versity Farm, ST. Paul, in 1922 by
first obtaining seedlings propagated
from the true seed, commonly called
"seed balls" of potatoes, later in
breeding these plants and then cross
ing the resulting selfed lines. By
further breeding and selection he ex-
poets to get varieties capable of max
ing greater yields, more resistant to
disease, and having a higher quality.
After definite varieties have been
established, their characteristics can
be maintained and they can be furth-
er improved by propagation from the
tubers of the best plants, as is done
with the present strains.

1000 to 5000 Birds to Be
Liberated Next Year,
More Later

The States's new game bird farm
near st. James is sure to be one of
the show places of southern Mime
sofa. The following facts pertaining
thereto are given in the current is
sue of Fins, Feathers and Fur, the
interesting monthly publication of
the conservation department. Per-
sons interested in the states conser-
walton program and activities should
be subscribers to this excellent pub
LEGATION, it costs but fifty cents a
year. The articles says
Realizing the necessity of replen-
ishing the stock of Minnesota upland
game birds the Game and Fish de-
partment has purchased a large
farm near st. James for the rearing
of Ringneck Pheasants and Hungar-
ian Partridges. +:
The deal involved the purchase of
100 acres of land, every foot of which
will be available for the propagation
of game. The former farm, which
the state had only rented, was not
adapted for the purpose, there being
too much waste land too much ver-
min. The land at the new site is pro-
ducing good crops and at present is
in alfalfa and timothy. There is not
a lake or slough on the farm( where
as the old farm had several sloughs
and a lake. The purchase price of
the land was about $4,000.
Funds for the acquisition of the
property and equipment are available
in the state game and fish budget and
the project has been approved by
Governor Theodore Christianson and
the commissioner of administration
and finance. Construction of nine
foot fence around the farm, covered
yards for the parent stock and build
ings for the attendants, is to be
started shortly.
The territory in which the new
game is situated is exceptionally free
from vermin. There are no woods in
which the winged enemies of young
game birds may nest, no brush in
which mink, weasels, civet cats
SkunkS and domestic cats may Turk
ready to prey up on the luckless
pheasants.
All new parent stock will be pur-
chased for the farm, the old stock at
Mound having been liberated when
operations were suspended last year
1t is hoped that between 1000 and
5000 birds will be liberated next
year and that within two or three
years a production of 10000 birds a
year will be reached. At the old
farm it cost about $500 to raise a
pheasant whereas at the new loca-
ton it is expected that they will be
produced for about $500 each.
Pheasant eggs are to be purchased
from private game farms in Wash
ington and Illinois.

FRANKLIN FARMER
GROWERS TOBACCO

On the K. B. Nelson farm three
miles southeast of Franklin, tobacco
is an important crop this year and
will net the owners some profitable
returns. Mr.. Nelson and his son,
John, are pioneers in tobacco raising
in this section of the state and have
produced some exceptionally fine to-
bacco crops in years past.
The crop can be successfully raised
in Minnesota, experiments have
shown, and may be added to the di-
versiication Of agriculture.
No less than ton yield is expected
this year from the three-quarter
acre tract on the Nelson farm. The
quality of the tobacco is in every
way as good as in the states to the
east where the crop has been staple
for years. The plants are up to five
feet in height, the leaves measuring
from fifteen to eighteen inches in
width and from twenty-four to thir-
ty inches in length.
The Nelson family were formerly
residents of Racine county, Wiscon-
sin, close to Milwaukee, and had sue
cessfully raised the crop there before
coming to Minnesota.
A feature about growing tobacco
on Mr.. Nelson's farm is the absence
of the tobacco worm, which is seri-
Gus problem in the other tobacco
growing states. His crop is free
from bemish of any kind.
Two years ago Mr.. Nelson raised
over ton of the crop from similar
plot, but last year the crop was badly
damaged by hail. He estimates that
the crop will bring him between
twenty-five and thirty cents a pound
or five to six hundred dollars.
