In welcoming students back to the college of agriculture of the university this year, there is one point that seems to be worthy of special mention. That is the fact that despite an other year of drouth and setback in agricultural production in Ne braska, our enrollment in agri cultural courses continues to in crease. This indicates that the young agriculturally-minded men are determined to understand ag ricultural problems and that they believe their solution will be found thru education. The field of home economics Is coming to be more and more im portant from both the practical and professional standpoint. Our home economics curriculum is be coming more specialized and better adapted to fill needs in pro fessional fields in which women excel.

C. Wiggans, head of the department of horti culture, declared yesterday. More apples of several varieties were on the ground than on the trees by Saturday, he pointed out. This year's crop prospects were exceptionally good Wiggens ex plained, until late summer, and then, with the unusually hot. windy weather early in September, counts in the 80 acre university orchard at Union showed only 35 to 40 percent of the apples left on the trees. Jonathans suffer most. The Jonathan variety suffered most, the department head said. This variety, which ripens usually early in September, was "top picked," that is the apples on the tops of the trees that showed a little color were picked first. This picking was done when the hot winds started, and when the crew went back to pick the rest of the crop which had not ripened, most of the apples were on the ground. More than 1,000 bushels were picked off the ground, he com mented! Later varieties, such as the winesap and black twig, have fal len also to some extent, he said, with some dropping in the golden delicious and serious dropping in the grimes. The delicious varietv he remarked, stayed on the trees rainy well and there was little loss. Condition is state-wide. This condition prevails thruout me siaie also, with many orchards suffering losses. The Jonathan ap ples that dropped are not seriously injured, he declared, since they were nearly ripe in most cases, but among the later maturing va rieties the dropping will mean a serious loss. The older the orchard the worse the drop, he pointed out. The university's young trees stood KNEES, MEN LIKE of Brimstone" Is In The . Trying To Lick All The Atlantic Single-Handsd!

More boys work than girls, they say, pointing out that last year more than fifty percent of the girls had at least some work, but more than eighty percent of the boys enrolled had jobs. Seniors do technical work. The work these students do ranges from tending furnaces to the most technical kind of research work, with upperclassmen holding down most ot the more technical jobs. "Prospective freshmen are job hunting, too," declared C. E. Booth, in charge of boys' employ ment, and Mrs. Angeline Ander son, who has charge of girls' work. Booth forsees a big demand for part-time work this fall, indicat ing that the students that enter college are going to need work to pay their way. More jobs to freshmen. Mis. Anderson, discussing the work problem as it concerns the girls, said that of the 285 girls registered last year, slightly more than 200 worked, and that these girls earned more than $25,000 timing the year. She pointed out that more freshmen and sopiio more girls work than upperclass men, althought the percentage of girls working runs as high as fifty percent in all classes. Fresh men run about fifty-five percent, with sophomores about sixty-four, according to last year's figures. the winds and heat much better than the mature trees. Student picking crews have been put to work cleaning up the apples that have dropped. This unprece dented dropping has rushed the work of caring for the fall crop, and the horticulture department is working overtime to take care of the green apples as well as keep up with the regular picking.
