Bugs Spread Further
Grain Destruction.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Drought, aided by grasshoppers and
chinch bugs, spread further destruc-
ton through the grain belt today, in
creasing crop losses to as high as IS
per cent in some sections.
Many farmers prayed yesterday in
churches for rain. Some rains came,
but they were too light to bring much
benefit. More local showers were
forecast.
Even ideal weather. said agricul-
tural experts, could not now afford
any material relief in much of the
Midwest.
Cut 40 Per Cent.
Nebraska farmers reported all crops
in the central part Of the State, in
Guiding oats, hay and other small
grains, have been cut 40 per cent. The
strawberry crop has been severely
damaged and chinch bug damage is
the worst in the regions farming his
tory
Indiana's hay crop is cut SO Per
cent and wheat and oats are severely
damaged. Corn is terminating slowly.
Dust storms have blown away large
parts of the mint crops. The fruit
crop in the Southwestern region is
periled. Timber and grass is dry
ing and small insects and timber
fires are adding to the damage.
With hay and pastures most af-
flicted, crops throughout Wisconsin
are menaced. No Spring planting has
been done in several sections. Corn is
suffering.
Minnesota is suffering from an epi-
demic OF grasshoppers. The yield Of
Spring wheat will not reach IS per
cent of normal. Dust storms have
blown away plants. Pasture lands are
drying up and oats and hay have been
hurt
Some unofficial estimates were that
the wheat crop yield in Kansas will
not exceed so per cent. Corn plant
ing will be deferred in several parts
of the State. The apple crop area is
hard hit.
Prayers for Rain.
In several sections of the grain belt
Sunday church services were devoted
to prayers for rain. By proclamation
Of Gov. William LANCER. Sunday was
set aside in North Dakota as a day
Of prayer for rain"
Mild rains fell yesterday in Wis
consin, Northern Michigan, Central
Nebraska and Minnesota Local
showers were forecast today for

BY the Associated Press.
Further Government expansion of
large-scale hydroelectric power prof.
ects is contrary to the theory of N.

thousands of American citizens" ac-
cording to the National Coal Associa-
ton.
Specifically the association pro-
tested in a statement against the
proposed appropriation Of another

Authority.
Disaster Predicted.
Speaking in behalf of the bitumin-
Gus coal industry, the association
contended the ultimate consequences

production contemplated by the Ten

waterway project, for their consum-
nation means the breadlines for
thousands of American citizens"
Declared Unjustified.
Asserting the starting Of other hy-
dro-power projects in the Tennessee
Valley area was without the slight
est economic justification" because
existing power capacity far exceeded
demand, the association said pro-
moters of the power project ap-
parently had ignored probably con-
sequences OF such expansion.
From the standpoint of cheaper
electric service to the public. as well
as from the standpoint Of public
policy, such a hydroelectric program
is unsound," it added.

Linked Hands in Pacific?

Linked Hands In Pacific!
European diplomats are limiting
these days that II the 1885 naval
conference fails there will develop q
new. far-reaching understanding
between the United States and Great
Britain in the Pacific.
It Is reported that the two nations
would discuss joint naval defense
plan, reaching from Alaska to Aus
tralia. Plans for conducting joint
operations against Z common foe
would be devised: new British naval
bases would be constructed In Aus
tralia, and would be available to
American ships In case Of need.
All this, Of course. Is on the sup
position that Japan will insist on full
naval equality and will thereby preci-
pitate a naval construction race. It
goes without saying that there Is not
the slightest confirmation Of the gos-
sip at either Washington or London.
The development might be logical
one, at that. The nations do have
common interests in the Pacific. It
would hardly be surprising il they
sought to find a common means of
defending them.

Money Well Invested

Federal funds are being spent 50
lavishly these days that an allotment
Of $4,000 hardly seems worth no.
ticing. Nevertheless, the expenditure
Of that sum at the Michigan College
Of Mines. at Houghton, Mich, may
eventually be worth untold millions
to middle western industry.
The college is using the money to
undertake research in methods Of US
ing low-grade iron ores. The rich
Michigan iron mines, according to
college experts, will be practically
depleted within 20 years.
But even then they will contain
billions upon billions Of tons Of low
grade ore, which, under present
methods Of exploitation. cannot be
mined profitably.
The Michigan experts hope to find
q way In which this enormous store
Of ore viii become commercially avail
able. II they do. that $4,000 re-
search fund will mean incalculable
sums to industry throughout the mid
die west.

Every Day Rrains

DR.. Karl G. Miller, University Of
Pennsylvania psychologist, recently
gave public utterance to q thought
that IS not new but surprisingly
novel in expression. Many have
thought it without daring to express
it. AS expressed by Doctor Miller
1t is:
THE American college must recog-
nize more fully its responsibilities to
the students whose interests are not
primarily intellectual as we'll as to
the prospective scholar. From my
contact with the parents Of boys
seeking admission to the university
I feel that the proud father wants his
son to go through a ripening process,
to make many contacts. to become
interested in many things. to have a
good deal of fun and to do reason
ably well in his studies.
Unless I am mistaken, the incul-
cation Of true scholarship, the love
Of learning, the inspiration for re-
search-these do not appear in the
definition Of college education as it
exists In the minds of prospective
students and their parents"
Had the professors candor gone
little bit farther he might have said
that it Is just as we'll, for how many
institutions of higher learning could
meet the scholarly needs Of the in
spired student and how many pro-
found scholars could the world alb
sorb without starving them?
The modern conception Of q COL
lege and university is not q place
where erudite professors are made,
but a factory for the development OF
everyday brains and culture.

Wisconsin Politics
FarQo COrum)

Whether the president so intended
it or not, the fact that he took occa-
sion in his Green Bay speech to thank
both Senators La Toilette and Duffy,
"old friends Of mine," Tor the excel
lent cooperation they had helped to
maintain between the executive and
legislative branches Of the govern
ment, and the further fact that he
remarked also that he was glad to
be in a state from which have
drawn in setting up the permanent
and temporary agencies of govern
ment," is being interpreted to mean
that Mr.. Roosevelt wants Mr.. La Fol.
lette to win out in the fall election.
And more color Is added to this
when it is recalled that Mr.. Farley
q short while ago said that he was
leaving the Wisconsin situation to the
big boss. True, Mr.. Roosevelt included
Mr.. Duffy, Democrat, in his re.
marks, but the political dopesters point
out that only one Of them, Mr.. La Fol-
lette, IS candidate this year. Mr..
Duffy, being elected in 1892, is not In
the running now. But there are five
Democrats contending for the nomi-
nation in the Democratic primary
campaign. So It Is said by some that
Mr.. Roosevelt's statement was clearly
directed as q boost for La Toilette
stock alone.
It IS being remembered that his ref
erence at Green Bay relative to hav-
ing drawn much Of his inspiration
from Wisconsin "for the permanent
and temporary agencies Of the gov
eminent" sounds very similar to the
one made In Wisconsin in the CAM
paign Of 1882 when he said that no
other state in the Union had 50 clearly
demonstrated "the practical utility Of
liberal principles" This was held to
be great praise for the family who had
dominated Wisconsin politics for some
thirty years-and 1t was accepted as
such by the La Toilette brothers.
Shortly thereafter. Senator Bob came
out with an endorsement Of Mr.. Roo
sevelt's candidacy. In the congress
sional sessions since. he has support
Cd MI. Roosevelt's program with some
criticism, however, from the stand
point that the president has not
veered far enough to the left.
It Is openly admitted that the Wis
oonstn Democratic organization u
quite disturbed. It elected q Demo-
crat to the senate last time. and has
believed that. unless the administra-
ton showed plainly . La Toilette
preference, It could repeat. II the
dopesters are right In their coniec-
lures, It = truly IN anomalous po-
litical situation.
