FRAT MEN GOOD.
SCHOLARS

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-Tne
scholastic average Of college fra
ternity men throughout the coun-
try is higher than the general
scholastic average Of all male
undergraduates, according to a
statement made today by Alvan
E, Duerr, chairman Of the scholar.
ship committee of the Interfra-
ternity Conference. This state
ment was made in a report at
the annual meeting Of the con.
ference at the Hotel Pennsylva'
mia. New York city, to delegates
of 10 national fraternities having
a total membership Of 100000
men, of whom 10000 are under
graduates.
The conference has for the past
five years laid special emphasis
on scholarship. In each Of those
years the conference has mace
an exhaustive statistical survey OF
the scholarship Of fraternity and
nonfraternity men in 125 colleges
and universities throughout the
countr. where there are more
than four fraternities. The data
for such surveys was furnished
by the administrative authorities
of the colleges. Mr.. Duerr de-
clared:
Each one Of these years has
shown consistent improvement
over its predecessor. For the
college year 1929.193O the COM
pIete returns from 125 institu-
tiOns having a male enrolment
of 100000 show that the fra
ternity mems average is some
what more than / per cent
higher than the average Of all
men undergraduates, and al
most 2 per cent higher than
the average of nOnfraternity

DAIRY, HOGS and
feed OUTLOOK
DAIRY

"A marked reduction in production
OF dairy products during the summer
caused a very pronounced upturn in
prices, particularly for butter, begin
ming in July. Prices Of dairy products
are expected to advance moderately
during the fall, prior to the usual sea-
sonal drop in mid-winter, but to re-
main at lower level than has obtain
ed during the last few years, owing
to the prevailing tendency toward ex-
pansion Of the industry. II business
conditions improve, there will be
tendancy for con1uiner demand to
increase. Condition In the dairy indus
try however, such as increasing num-
peTs OF cows, may be expected to pre-.
vent any substantial Strengthening of
dairy prices"
Prom the standpoint of longtime
outlook there is a wide spread tenden-
cy to make substantial further in
creases in the number of milk cows
Kept on farms. Even if allowance is
made tor some forced local liquidation,
the present trend of milk cows num-
Ders in the country as whole seems
to be distinctly upward. The dairy
farmers have been and apparently still
are saving more than the customary
number of heifer calves, and reports
from stockyards would seem to indi-
cate that the number of aged milk
cows being disposed of is still some
what below normal. AS long as this
tendency continues the longtime out
look for dairying is, at best, unfavor-
able"
There are certain developments in
American Agriculture which tend to-
ward the expansion in the dairy in
dustry at somewhat greater rate
than in the recent past. Dininution in
the number of draft animals has re-
suited in more feed being available
for milk cows. The expansion in the
use of sweet clover and alfalfa in the
Corn Belt and parts of the wheat belt
tend also to stimulate dairying. On the
whole, it seems likely that the pres
sure toward expanding the dairy indus
try will be greater in the next ten
years than it has been normally in the
past ten"
On the basis of the above informa-
ton just received from the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics U. S. D. A. it
would seem that there probably has
been period when the dairy farmer
needs to give closer attention to cul-
ling of Improbable cows and giving
good care and attention to those kept
In other words it would seem that
now profits can be made only from
high producing cows well cared for.
The dairymen of course, in their cur
failing program should limit the num-
Der of cows which he will keep.

Poultry need more mineral feed in
proportion to their total feed require
ments than most other classes of ami
mails. Mineral feed is best supplied in
the form of crushed oyster shells, or
limestone, which furnishes calcium for
the egg-shells. Steamed bone meal
may also be fed to advantage, especial
lily to supply phosphates. The bone
meal may be mixed with the mash
ration. Bone meal contains lime and
phosphorus, which are highly impor-
tant for the egg production.

Open New Gymnasium
With Fine PROGRAM

With Fine Program
The opening of the new high school
gymnasium was held last Friday ev-
e1iing with a large crowd in attend
ance. Addresses were made by Super
intendent Bixby, A. L. Brockway,
chairman of the School Board, Olaf
Strandwold, Co. Superintendent OF
Schools, and an excellent program
was given by students Of both grade
and high school. Miss Beck conducted
the singing and Miss veatch was the
piano accompanist. Several girls
dressed UP as Goops and sang

$50. The new gymnasium and the
new heating plant and plumbing tor
the entire building cost $4,000.

HOGS

Numbers of hogs for slaughter dur
ing this marketing year that begins
October LIST are expected to be some
what smaller than during the past
marketing year that ended on Sep
TENDER 3Oth, and average weights will
be lighter than they have been for
many years. The short corn crop of
| 1880 and the present unfavorable corn
hog ratio are expected to reduce both
the fall pig crop of 1880 and the spring
crop of 1881. This probably will post
pone for at least year the increase in
hog production that would have start
ed this fall had corn production been
average or better. Current storage
holdings of pork and lard are con-
siderably smaller than those of last
year."
On the basis of the above report it
would seem that farmers in this Sec
ton would do we'll to maintain or in
crease the number of hogs for the
coming year.
FEEDS
| 0uppAlCS VI lSCOS lOl 4SoV-4S0A sea-
son are the smallest in recent years.
The total tonnage of feed grains is
only 80 percent Of the five-year aver
average. The production of CONNER
cial feedstuffs will probably exceed
the average, but will not be much diff
ferent from last season. Heavier feed
ing of straw, and close feeding of
fodder, and other roughages will like
ly occur to supplement the shortage
of hay and pastures. In the case of
feed grains, some adjustment will be
made by marketing hogs at lighter
weights, by feeding fewer cattle for
market and these for shorter periods,
by the greater use of wheat as feed,
and by reducing the grain ration for
stock animals of all kinds"
"Considering the shortage Of sup
plies, prices for feeds are now relative
1y low. AS the heavy feeding season
advances, the shortage Of supplies will
be more keenly felt and somewhat
more than the usual seasonal rise in
feed prices is likely, especially in the
latter part of the season. Wherever
possible, farmers will find it profit
able to determine their feed REQUIRE
ments now and take advantage of the
present bin prices of most feeds.
Study of Statistics on the five year
average as compared to the past year
shows that this state is under the five
age Hay supplies are s8 percent OF
Production OF feed grain per animal
unit, and production Of hav per animal
