RICE III t
SUCCESSFULLY GROWN IN NORTH
ERN SOIL.
GROWN BY BOTANY PEOPLE
Experiments Have Been Carried en
For the Past Ten Years
Several Varieties
Planted.
One of the real curiosities of the
campus which has attracted much
comment and attention was killed by
the frost last Monday night and will
soon be cut. The small plot of rice
north of the greem house has disproved
the statements of more than one pro
fessor who has held the opinion that
rice could not be grown outside of the
tropics.
For the past ten years Miss Walker
of the Botany department has planted
rice seeds which she obtained from
Louisiana. Each year the plants were
started in the green house and later
transplanted to a bed out of doors.
This year, however, the seeds were
planted In the plot in which they have
ripened and It has thus been proved
that tho culture of this small grain
was possible in the United States so
far north.
The bed contained two varieties of
the plant. In the western half was
the upland or Honduras rice, and in
the other part the lowland variety
had been sowed. (Almost all of the
Honduras rice ripened, but the other
matures later and the frost caught it.
Dr. Bessey says that when be was
abroad recently he passed through a
country of about the same latitude
as Lincoln and that he saw nothing
but rice. He is of the opinion that if
it can be grown in the East, Nebraska
can grow it too, and says it might not
be considered rash to even predict the
time when we will be hiring men to
harvest our immense rice crops in
stead of wheat, to say nothing of the
amount of the pudding that will be
eaten.
Miss Walker has saved a number
of stalks for seed for next year, and
she will experiment with them to see
if it is not possible to grow rice from
Nebraska seed. In the event she is
successful it may mean that a hardy,
northern rice will have been de
veloped. All are interested in the ex
periment for if successful it will mean
that Nebraska will again come to the
front.
Anvons desiring a few stalks of the
grain may get them from the small
bed.

EXPERIMENT STATION
RECEIVES REQUEST
People in Nebraska Fail to Appreciate
Work of Station Important to
Farmer and Business Man.
Dean Burnett of the College of Agri
culture makes the following statement
supplemented by the statement of a
man interested in the work of the ex
tension department:
"Many people in Nebraska do not
sufficiently appreciate the publications
of the Nebraska Experiment Station.
Some who do appreciate these bulle
tins fail to express their appreciation.
The following quotation from Mr. H.
J. Schneider, 255 Crafton Avenue.
Crafton, Pa., will be of Interest as indi
cating the regard of an extensive
farmer and business man:
"He says: 'I beg to acknowledge
receipt of a number of bulletins issued
by your Station and cannot refrain
from expressing my highest regard for
the thoroughness in which the various
subjects are treated in these docu
ments, aggregating a veritable store
house of practical and useful knowl
edge. This very fact has induced nve
to have your bulletins bound in perma
nent book form for ever-ready refer
ence and in view of this decision I
have made a further seteetion from
your list, a memorandum of which is
enclosed herewith.' "
Students at the University of Kan

A Prep Poet's Poem.
Tell me true in mournful numbers.
Is English always in your dream.
Or does Chem disturb your slumbers?
Makes your beart o'er major these?
Did you flunk in that exam.?
Or did you sit all night and cram'
Are you crazy with the strife?
Are you tired of college life?
I am weary, I am tired.
And my brain is ever sad
For the days are always dreary
When you flunked in campus lab.

SOIL CLASS TAKES TRIP.
Dr. Condra Takes Them to Seward
County Saturday Morning Will
go to Gage Next Saturday.
On last Saturday morning Professor
Condra took the soil survey class to
the eastern part of Seward county to
study the loess soil of the eastern!
plains. Next Saturday the class will
go south to the northern part of Gage
county to study the soil there and to
compare it with the other soils of Ne
braska. The field parties on the state soil
survey have returned to the university
and are now making their reports.
CADET UNIFORMS
ARRIVED SATURDAY
Officers Expressed Themselves as Very
Well Pleased With Them Band
May Wear Them to Iowa.
Saturday the new cadet officers' and
band uniforms arrived from Cleveland.
The officers stated yesterday that they
were very satisfactory in every detail.
Of course if the men do not like them
they can be disposed of to some of the
warring nations abroad. This is un
likely however, as some of the stu
dents would accuse the sales manager
of partiality, no matter which foreign
country had the privilege of buying.
With their new uniforms the band
will make even a more imposing com
pany when they make their trip to
Iowa in three weeks. Nebraska has
a band this year of which -she may
well be proud and which deserves the
earnest support of every loyal Nebraskan.
CONTEND
Missouri Hustlers.
Two enterprising students of the
University of Missouri have hit upon a
novel plan for making their expenses
wbile in school. Every night at a few
minutes before 10 baskets filled with
good things to eat are left at the
sorority houses and girls' rooming
houses. The price of the different
articles is stated and the girls are re
quested to take out what they wish
and leave money to the proper amount
in its stead. The baskets with their
remaining contents are collected at
about 11 o'clock. The custom of going
down town each evening after a few
hours study, prevalent among the
young men of the university, put this
idea in the heads of the promoters.

WALTER H. ECKERSALL REVIEWS
SATURDAY'S GAMES.
LUCK IS AGAINST MICHIGAN
Nebraska is Mentioned as a Contender
For the Western Title Harvard
Game Does Yost Credit
Lesson For Maroons.
(Chicago Tribune.)
That Fielding H. Yost, coachvof the
Michigan team which went down in
defeat Saturday before the strong Har
vard eleven 7 to 0, still is one of thte
wizards of football was shown beyond
all question of doubt by the result of
the most important inter-sectional
struggle decided in years.
While the showing of the Wolve
rines, defeated by Syracuse on the pre
vious Saturday by a onesided score,
was the principal surprise of the day,
the scoreless tie between Chicago and
Wisconsin, the decisive victory of Illi
nois over Minnesota, and the "even
game between Princeton and Williams
were other upsets in a season already
notable as far as unlooked for results
are concerned.
Four Days for Preparation.
Recovering from a 20 to 6 defeat by
Syracuse on October 24, Coach Yost
had only four days in which to reor
ganize the eleven for the Crimson.
Because of the battered condition of
the players, no scrimmages were held,
and the general belief of even the
most staunch Michigan enthusiasts was
that the Wolverines were doomed to
defeat, with the only question in doubt
th'e size of the score.
Bringing all his resourcefulness into
play, Yost went about yie business of
reorganizing the team and giving it
plays which were expected to gain
against the Cambridge eleven. Realiz
ing Harvard would expect an open
attack, Yost fell back on the old style
game, and with the redoubtable
Johnny Maulbetsch to carry the ball.
Michigan showed the east an attack
which made even Coach Haughton of
Harvard look on with amazement.
Luck Goes Against Michigan.
If Dame Fortune had cast her lot
with Michigan, the west possibly might
have boasted of a victory over the
strongest eleven developed in the east
since the installation of the ten yard
rate and the forward pass. That Michi
gan outplayed Harvard at several
stages is indicated by the reports from
the Cambridge stadium. The Wolve
rine ground gainers, headed by Maul-
