The "Awgwan," the University of Ne braska's humorous magazine, was ordered abolished today. The action was taken by the stu dent publication board of the univer sity at a meeting this afternoon, af ter coi. -plaints that the last issue was obscene and colored with sex iminuat ions. The board meeting was a Hose.; session, but at its close Prof. H. A. Bradford, chairman of the board, said that the motion to do away with the peridiral was taken on the ground "that it serves no useful purpose at the university." Raymond Murray, of Lincol n , a umior, who is editor of the maga zine this 3'ear. was called before the board, and made a prepared statement, which was withheld from newspaper men. He took all the re sponsibility for the magazine, how ever Kven Sigma Delti Chi, profession al journalistic fraternity, withdrew its backing following appearance o the November issue of the publica tion last Friday. At a meeting Fri day night, it was announced today bv Gene Robb, Sigma Delta Ch president, a resolution was adopted which read in part: "Bv this, resolution Sigma Delta Chi repudiates its apparent oflicia sanction of the publication of the November issue of Awagan. which bv reason of its content of matter far below the standard and ethical principles of our fraternity and profession, we regard as obscene unwholesome, and not fit to merit our sponsorship." Washington With its task out lined and divided into three principal problems, each to be considered by a subcommittee. President Hoover's public lands commission charged with responsibility of recommend ing possible return of federal do main to eleven western states dis persed ;ifter Monday's session. Chairman James R. Garfield in dicated that the commission would not meet again before J.iu-.i.' pending congressional apnripriatio: for its work. The amount of appr nation to be asked was tentative!., fixed at $5,00t. The three subcom mittfes will consider disosal and use of public land; risposal and use of subsoil minerals, and a national re clamation policy. Garfield will announce tne per sonal of the subcommittees later. H presented a summarized statement of many specific questions by the two first, subcommittees. He entered leg islative and administrative field suggesting a possible recommenda tion for repeal of the federal water power act and of the homestead act.

WEED ERADICATION TOPIC The publication was founded quarter century ago. and had been published since except for one year 1923, when financial difficulties and questionable matter had brought a suspension acc ording to Al Mcintosh, editor last year. Lays No Personal Blame. Prof. Bradford said the meeting had been called to investigate mat ter of an ohjectionalbe moral nature in the issue released Friday. Mem bers of the board declared that the November issue was evidence of a growing degeneration which had been going on for some time. "The present issue has nearly reached the point where further toleration of such a state of affairs is impossible, Brad ford said. World-Herald. SWEETCORN FOR CANNING Nebraska produced 10,900 tons of sweet corn for canning this year, says the state and federal division of agricultural statistics. Last, year the crop totaled 9.S00 tons and two years ago, n.&uu tons. The average yield was 1.9 tons per acre from a total of 5,740 acres harvested. The production of sweet - r it. T T I a i corn tor canning ior me initea States is 631,800 tons as compared with 415,000 tons two years ago. The average yield was 1.9 tons and the area harvested, 326,040 acres. A state law compelling the erad ication of bad perennial weeds and sharing the expense equally between the state, county and farmer was recommended to a group of Nebraska people at the agricultural college by C. B. Ahlson, formerly an exten sion service agent in Idaho. Utah has such a law, Mr. Ahlson says, and it works perfectly. It is directed by the state department of agricultural. The work is done with chemical sprays at a considerable ex pense per acre. The state has ap propriated $100,000 to pay its share of the exense. Idaho has a some- wnat similar law, excepting mat tne direction of the work lies with th county officers and the expense i assesseu against tne land owner Farmers in Idaho used to try to hide their weeds, but now they come to the county weed supervisor and asi for help in getting rid of the weeds Mr. Ahlson exchanged experiences in using chemicals on weeds with number of the agricultural college men who have been working on that problem. Every state in the union is concerned with the comparatively new method. Ahlson says. When the results of 1929 work are all sum marized there should be some very good information to guide college workers and farmers another vear. Authorities believe sodium or col iuni chlorate kills the weeds thru their leaves, stems and roots rather than by burning off the tops, as some people supposed. The main roots ab sorb the chemical more rapidly than the lateral roots hence one spray does not always kill all the weeds. Shoots can come up from the lateral roots and in instances from the main roots. A rain immediately after the spray s applied seems to help rather than hinder its action. Likewise, putting the spray on in the fall after the green tops are gone seems to get the weeds with one application of the spray.

Some talk has been heard in Lin coln during the past week that Got. Arthur J. Weaver of Nebraska might be considered for appointment in President Hoover's cabinet as secre tary of war to succeed the late James W. Good of Iowa, says the Lincoln Star. On the theory that this place should be filled from the middle west, in order to preserve the geographical and political balance of the cabinet, there are many who think the Ne braska executive would be a logical selection to fill it. The active part that Mr. Weaver has taken for a number of years past in pushing the Missouri river navi gation project as an essential part of the national system of inland wa terways now in the course of develop ment, and the fact that this program is in the hands of the war depart ment, makes him a rather oustanding ngure in connection with the pres ent vacancy at Washington, in the opinion of many Nebraskans. The governor has also shown his personal interest in co-ordinating plans for flood control in the Mis sissippi valley with water conserva tion in the western states through construction of storage reservoirs to hold back part of the flow of streams when they are running full and using the stored water later in the season to Irrigate growing crops. Civilian Usually Named. While he is not a military man, that circumstance is deemed to be no handicap in considering his avail ability for secretary of war, since it is customary to name a civilian in that capacity; in fact, it has been . a good many years since an army man was called upon to administer the war department. Even during the World war it was in the hands of Newton D. Baker, who never had any service in arms. Secretary Good, prior to his ap pointment as head of Uncle Sam's war machine, was a coneressmsn from Iowa. He had the western view point and was committed to the sup port of inland waterways. Canaliza tion of the Ohio river was recently completed and celebrated with a cere monial at Louisville. Kv.. President Hoover spoke. .Hoover himself, while secretary or commerce in the Coolidge cabinet, was present at Kansas City some years ago at a meeting called In the interest or the Missouri river navi gation project, at which he gave it his personal endorsement Rnwrnnr Reaver, as president of the associa tion working for that development, afterward spent some time at Wasu- ngton ana, with the heln of Secre tary Hoover and Congressm an flnrxl succeeded in getting the unner Mis souri included as a part of the water ways program. Preliminary work is now being done alontr tho different points between Kansas City and Sioux City. Governor Weaver ia not a roni. date for appointment as rrot9rT f war, but some of his friends think ue is eminently fitted for it art would not be surprised if the presi dent should turn to him as an Ant. .standing westerner when ei successor to Good.
