Weaver and William E. Bruner, faculty mem bers of the University of Nebraska department of botany. An unprepossessing squash or pumpkin often sends roots out from, twelve to twenty feet on all sides of the plant, and a common tomato plant has roots occupying 280 cubiq feet of soil. These are some of the interesting findings of botany in structors. Dr. Weaver and Mr. Bruner have just published the results of long investigation and study of garden plants in a book, "Root Development of Vegetable Crops," designed for vegetable gardeners and students of gardening.

This is all the more strange because the root is a most important part of the plant. That is why Dr. Weaver says to the gardener, "know the root and know the plant." The investigations for the new book covered fourteen years. Dr. Weaver and his co-workers due deep trenches by the side of plants to be studied, and observations of the roots at each stage of growth were made directly. The work was done at Lincoln and at Norman, Okla. As a result of the study, definite data has been set down for the first time on the relation of root habits to crop production. The gardener who knows root habits knows that sweet corn does best in a deep, well-drained soil which has an abundant supply of water, and he knows that cabbage, because its root system is extensive and finely branched,, is "hard on the land," thoroughly exhausting the water supply in the surface foot of soil. Beans have the reputation of growing in any soil, but the study of roots teaches the gardener that beans respond more readilv to mod erately fertile and well-drained but moist sou. The investigations by Dr. Weaver and his co-workers were made possi ble by aid from the Carnegie Institu tion at Washington. Dunbar Ends Summer Survey of Nebraska Dr. Carl O. Dunbar, who has been on the state geological survey of Ne braska this summer, has returned to his work at Yale University.

(IP) The long heralded experimental college, the child of Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn, of the University of Chicago, has opened its doors, and the first class has started on its career. In the opening address to the stu dents of the experimental institution, Dr. Meiklejohn said: "This to me is an occasion like a birthday. Something human is now coming into existence. We are all agreed there shall be no celebration, no gifts. This morning we have the gift of existence. A few moments ago we were not: now we are." Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin, under whose auspices the Experimental college is being instituted, said in addressing the students: "This is the natural plan of educa tion. It is as old as the human mind. The method of study and the plans of the Experimental college ara at least as old as Socrates." He went on to explain that they are to study situations rather than subjects, and that they would first I take up the great American civiliza tion, place it on a table and try to unravel and understand it.

LEAGUE, OF WOMEN YOTERS ORGANIZES Campus Group Meets to Elect Officer and Make Plant For Year At a meeting held Wednesday eve ning in Ellen Smith Hall, the Cam pus League of Women Voters was organized for the coming year. Grace Grosvenor was elected president and Maurice Drayton secretary. At times inactive, the League has been present on the Nebraska cam pus since the formation of the State League, of which the university or ganization is a branch. Interesting discussion groups of the organization encourage university women to dis cuss and get acquainted with poli tical problems of state, nation and world. Last year's topic was the Child Labor Amendment. Ea'ch point was taken separately for discussion. The work encouraged each girl's interest in the subject. The group this year will closely fol low the study plans and charts of the Nebraska League of Women Voters, with which they are closely affiliated. "Discussion of political problems is something involving education," stated Miss Grosvenor, president. "We feel that girls are at first slow to' respond, but the work is so inter esting, as well as instructive, that no woman planning to vote later on can hope to do it successfully unless she has an understanding of the poli tical questions arising." Meetings will be held weekly until the League is functioning smoothly, after which bi-monthly gatherings for group discussion will be held. All upperclassmen and sophomores are invited to see either the president or secretary for further information. Old members are urged to come to the next meeting, to be held Wed nesday evening, October 5, at 5 o'clock in Ellen Smith Hall. ' 1 CapilalEngrarisgCa 319 SO. 12! ST. LINCOLN. NEB.

HERMANGE DIES IN SOOTH Was Former Nebraska Student; Had Gained Fame in Literary World Wiliam E. Hermance, former stu dent in the University of Nebraska, died yesterday at Norfolk, Virginia. Mr. Hermance was 65 years old, and was well known as awjauthor. In 1885 Mr. Hermance made a canoe journey of 4,500 miles, from Yellowstone Park to the Gulf of Mexico. This was an outstanding incident in the career of this Liucoln resi The Federal Bureau of Crop The Nebraska B-3214 dent, but is an example of a great many of his actions. His career at the University of Nebraska was short, but full of life, Hermance making the reputation for himself of being one of the most restless spirits in school. According to campus tradition "Will", as he was known here, once captured a cow and by manual labor and. an under standing of animals got it into the bell tower of University Hall. The animal mooed so' boisterously that it attracted the attention of several hundred people. Hermance is remembered by Uni versity officials as being: original, and always doing the unusual. He is the only one who ever walked around the top of U Hall, and on one occas ion deposited the hat of a prominent faculty member at the top of a light ning rod high in the air. Mr. Hermance attended the Uni versity of Nebraska for only one term, but had he graduated would have been in the class of 1880. In a letter to the Alumni Associa tion, written in 1924, Hermance wrote of his "disreputable career" and added that he had "completely missed the opportunity to' take the university seriously." Lincoln was his home. Under a new ruling at the Univer sity of Illinois, fraternities there must fill out and file with the dean of men slips bearing information about each of the students whom they intend to rush.
