Yesterday wan the flrflt of April and
a little Incident occurred In the law
school to commemorate the day. When
ProfrsBor Robblns' class was diinlsspd
at 9 o'clock they found posted on the
door n list of names of those who
"passed" the preliminary exam In
agetK ies a few days ago. A few were
especially good men and some men of
the other kind So elated were they at
the thoiiRht that they congratulated
themselves and considerable Insisting
followed. It developed later, however,
that the list was a fake, put up as a
Joke on a few who "bit" nicely. Those
gentlemen disappeared from the Uni
versity and were not again seen on the
campus during the entire day.
School of Agriculture Notes.
In the fall of 1002 the department of
agriculture made the initial selections
and plantings for a series of experi
ments in "plant improvement." plant
breeding of sma.l grains. In the plant
nursery there are nine hundred and
seventy-five little plots of wheat. One
hundred and seventy-five of these are
the first generation from crosses made
in the summer of 1902. The rest are
for selections of the following classes:
high and low nitrogen, high and low
specific gravity, increased yield and
quality. Improved straw characteristics,
causes of different coloration In the
berry, problems of heredity, relation or
yield to leaf area and habits of growth,
stooling characteristics. Each cent
goner, or small plot, contains a ary
Ing number of individual plants plant
ed six by six inches. Every centgene,r
and each individual plant Is numbered,
the number being the name by which
the plants are known in the crop his
tory books. Mr. Alvin keyser, a Jun
ior in the technical agricultural course
In the University, will be in charge of
the work during the coming summer.
It will be remembered that Mr. Keyser
spent the greater part of last summer
at the Minnesota experiment station,
where he studied successfully the art of
plant improvement under the direction
of Professor Hays.
Mr. McReynolds, the janitor at the
main building, has resigned and will
leavo some time this month.
A series of spring inbututes is to be
held this month in Minnesota Mr.
Stilson, a Nebraska Institute man, Is
to be one of the workers.
Owing to a scarcity of land, the hort
icultural department has been com
pelled to remoe some aple trees to
make room for egetable experiments.
Mr. B. I. Dill has temporary charge
of the nursery work. Mr Carlyle, the
new foreman, has been detained on ac
count of the pressure of spring work
at the Jefferson county nurseries.
Several visitors from the University
watched the class In dairy husbandry

ested and always ready to taste the
cream and butter. Visitors are always
welcomed to this department, as well
as to any other, when practical demon
strations are being made in the labor

The Junior and Bophomore teams for
the Interclass championship debate met
yesterday morning to choose a ques
tion for the final debate. Several ques
tions were proposed, but no selection
was made. The teams will meet again
this morning. The aim Is to get a
thoroughly up-to-date question and one
which will be worthy of investigation.
The teams are pretty evenly matched
and no doubt the debate will be one of
the most hotly contested that the Unl
erblty has ever witnessed. Both
classes have selected teams which they
are confident will win and the teams
themselves are determined to fight hard
for the honors. The debate is bound
to excite much class enthusiasm, for
the debaters are already receiving en
couragement from their class members.
