AGRICULTURE 1 1
' The United Status civil Hervlco com
mission announced an examination to
bo hold nt Lincoln, Grand Island, Nor
folk, North Platte ami Omnhn, March
HO for. expert farmers in tho Indian
servlco.
Applicants should at unco apply
oltjier to the United States civil ser
vlco commission or to the secretary
of the board of examiners at any of
tho above mentioned places for the ap
plication forms and necessary Infor
mation. Applications must be on ille
with the commissioner in time so that
necossary papers may bo sont to the
examining ofllcc. Applicants for this
office should stato that they wish to
take an examination for export farnV
er, indlnn service. It is probable that
n number of school of agriculture boys
will take this examination.
Carl Chas, '10, will leave in a few
days for Manhattan, Kansas, where he
has accepted a position to take charge
of all the corn growing experiments to
1)0 carried on nt that station. He also
expects to carry on a very extorsive
work by means of co-operation with
the fanners throughout tile ntnlc.
The rami mechanics depart meat lias
Just received a now IK-horso power
Avory traction engine and a 16-bottom
steam plow. With thlB out-fit they ox
pect to do a considerable amount of
oxporlmentnl work arid, gather much
valuable data relative to the cost of
plowing by steam us compared to
iiorso power. They will also test the
comparative elileioncy of each of these
mothods and try to determine by
which means the highest productivity
of tho soil, at tho least exjunise, can
be attained. Without doubt the day
Is not far distant when much of tho
heavier labor on the farm will be per
formed by motive power, cither steam
or guBoltnc, and tho tired horse can
stand by and look leisurely on. In
the regions of larger farms much of
this type of powur is already In use
and tho manufacturers of such types
of engines are rapidly Improving their
machiueh and making them smaller
and lighter so that even the farmer
with moderate means and a small farm
will eoo tho advantage to be derived
through tho use of such power, and

having little use for tho man who
would not set his own ideas contrary
to those of tho majority of the' voters
of .the pnrty If ho bolleved himself

Richard L. Metcalf was tho noxt

designated the republican party as
euterlng to tho popular will and tho
democratic party as being the dofend
ors of tho constitution.
Arthur F. Mullen, the last speaker

PREVIOUS REPORTS .
WERE NOT OFFICIAL
i
DELINQUENTS DECREASED OVER
EIGHTY IN YEAR.
INCOMPUTES ARE NOT REPORTED
Decrease Of 15.2 Per Cent Pleases Au
thorities Due to Work of Pro
fessor Engberg, Commit
tee and. Miss Ensign.
An ofllclnl statement was given out
from the chancellor's ofllcelaatovon
Ing regarding delinquencies as fol
lows. "Some days ago the papers gavo
statistics of tho per cent of delinquent
students In the university. As no of
ficial statistics had been given out;
tile question was raised whothor these
reports wero authontlc. They seem to
have been compiled from tho reports
made to tho Intor-fraternlty and lntor-
Borlty councils, and which wore not of
ficial. On the basis of these reports
It la determined whether pledges can
be Initiated. The figures wero pre
sumably taken fronntfte mid-semester
reports for the students pledged to
these organizations, but did not In any
sense represent 'the entire student
body. The following statistics are
now available:
"In 1009, number of delinquent stu
dents, 591. In 1910, In spite of tho
Increase In registration, the number of
delinquencies was 510.
Percentage of Decrease.
"The per cent of delinquent stu
dents a year ago was 27.7 as against
22.9 this year. The decrease In de
linquency this year as against a year
ago is 15.2 per cent. In making this
list thore have been reported as de
linquent students, only those who have
conditions or failures opposite their
names. We have not reported In this
given incompletes. It Is not fair to
comparison any who wero merely
given incompletes. It is not fair to
call an incomplete a delinquency, as
often a student bus permission of his
instructor to comi'lotc a thome or do
some other small requirement after
the time for tho handing in of the re
port. "Flguies are not yet available to
show the percentage of men and wo
men who are delinquent. Tho do-
crease of 15.2 per cent Is gratifying,
slnceJUis to basuppoaedJlhat ilia In
structors have been quite ns severe In
their grading this year as previously,
and tho showing Is to bo attributed to
the work of -Professor "Engberg, tho
delinquent student committee, and
Miss Ensign, along with a goncrnl
movement on foot to tone up the stu
dent body In respect to serious work.
DATES FOR DEBATES CHANGED.
Seniors Picked Team for Inter-class
Debates Yesterday.
Some shifting in the dates for the
inter-clnss debates has been mnde in
tho last few days. The freshmen
have decided by mutual conscht to
hold their dobntc on Friday evening,
March 1th. Tho date was changed
owing to dlfllcultles encountered by
the members of the teams In working
up tho question.
The senior .class haB after somo de
lay picked their team. Tho mei
chosen wero II. P. Wundor, J. F. Ebor(
and Paul Yates. This team waH
choson by tho committee without thd
usual preliminary try-out owing to the
fact, that there were no other applb
cants for positions on the tearii. The
dato for the senior-junior debate has
not as yej, been changed, but owing to
the lateness of tho chooBlng of tho
senior team, tho debate will in all
probability be postponed until ' next
week. Tho lack of Interest which has
been displayed In this series of der
bates Is arousing considerable com
ment about tho campus. The sohlof
class has been especially lax In the
details' of choosing a team.
A dance at which clothes made the
men was given by the women of the
University of Oregon a short tlmo ago.
No men wero allowed to. bo present
half of the womon atending dressed
In' the evening clothes of their moi
relatives and friends.
