That republican leaders in Ne-
braska are willing to sacrifice the
. normol-school interests , as well as
. .
: . . other educational j interests , in or-
der to secure partisan advantage
or wreak partisan revenge , is
amply evidenced by the Crabtree
case. -
. . case.No other one thing in recent
' . . ' years has so stirred up the people , ,
. - nor has any single incident more I
clearly shown how the game of
politics has heretofore been play-
ed to the advantage of republican
, . . ' machine tenders and to the dis- I
I
advantage of the people general.
. By a majority of four to three
-the four being rep blicans-
- Professor Crabtree , principal of
the Peru normal school , has been
.
requested to resign. Professor
; Crabtjree's . . offense was in recog-
. : " nizingthe normal school board
appointed by Gov. Shallenberger
as . provided by a law enacted by
the legislature of 1909. There is
! . " - . no hint that Professor Crabtree
incompetent. Indeed , no man
stands higher in the educational
fold than he. No hint that he has
not been successful in his work at
. . Peru. On the contrary , it is ad-
mitted that under his guidance
the Peru normal has developed as
never before in its history. There
: is no hint that he has not shown
. : results. . On the contrary , it is ad-
I . ' . mitted that the graduates from
the Peru normal since he took :
; ' . & . . . . : - : . charge have gained the highest
* . . . ' . . . rank teachers.

liers ] and pinned to the over h'ang-
I ing of the table cloth.
I t ' Each of the twelve ladies pres

gin a campaign for an increase

( I The improved quality of wheat , oats , grasses clover , alfalfa and
, other , grains of like nature , in wagon and animal tracks , or wherever ,
I the soil had been packed or pressed on seed during the process of
planting or soon after , which has been noticed by all experienced
farmers , first direct attention to the advantages resulting from such ,
II pressure. It was noticed that plants , where pressure had been ap- z
i plied , came up quicker , had a better color , grew more rapidly , stood
droughts better , yielded more and better grain , andwas ! less inclined
to crinkle down and lodge , thus indicating that pressure over the
I planted seed did aid greatly in healthy germination and vigorous
growth. By practical tests it has been ascertained that uniform and
proper depth of planting contributes largely to improved results , and
that certain soils and climates demand special treatment , especially
sandy soils , and localities that are annually visited with high winds ,
v he e seasons are short and moisture scarce , and under these con
ditions deep planting or 'protected" planting in deep furrows results
in a heavier and more certain yield , of better quality and from less
amount of seed' because every seed thus planted is'covered , pressed ,
protected , and is bound to germinate. . c
