1 rt: 5^- sasf tk ^^?Prineeton Girl Graduates. Wb Miss Olga V. Carlson, route 3, Princeton, was one of the members of the graduating class at the School of Agriculture of the University of Min nesota who received diplomas at the commencement exercises which closed last Wednesday, March 28. The graduating class numbered 162, which is three less than last year's class. All together more than 2,000 boys have been graduated from the school of agriculture, and more than eight thousand have attended the school. Eighty per cent of these, ac cording to D. D. Mayne, principal of the school of agriculture, are now en gaged in farming. The list of gradu ates of the school of agriculture in cludes some of the managers of the largest and best known farms in the Northwest. Demonstrations of .methods of work ing in the home, conducting communi ty meetings and judging live stock were given by members of the gradu ating class at at the commencement exercises in the auditorium of Univer sity Farm, St. Paul, before the ad dress of President George E. Vincent, at the close of which diplomas were presented. Pageants representing the influence of science on farming and showing the conditions of marketing, with a solution of the high cost of marketing hinted at, were given with the demonstration. An arrangement whereby a year's work is to be given by the school of agriculture to graduates which will permit them to enter the college of agriculture was established this year. More than 300 alumni returned to the school of agriculture for the com mencement exercises and the alumni reunions. Crochet Club Entertained. One of the most unique social affairs of the season was held last Friday af ternoon and evening, at the home of Mrs. J. C. Herdliska. The event, marked the close of the Royal Crochet club's activities until September next. The ladies met in the afternoon and turned the wheels of time backward to the days of their childhood, so far as dress, games and manners could produce such a reversal. All the cos tumes were intended to revive the days of their youth with the exception of one lady who appeared in the historic pantalette and apron of 1830. The husbands of the ladies were in vited to a seven o'clock dinner, which they did full justice to and pronounced perfect. No expense had been spared in the preparation of the dinner, pota toes actually being one of the special extravagances of the menue. One of the prettiest features of the occasion was the receiving of the guests by Mrs. Herdliska's 15-year-old daughter, Ruth, who was dressed in her grandmother's wedding dress, the material of which had been purchased years ago in the historic city of Rome, Italy. With a few penciled wrinkles and powdered hair, Miss Ruth made a very quaint grandmother of "ye olden time." The hours were so pleasantly passed that the clock came near registering 12 o'clock before those "children for a day" could be persuaded to go home. Early and Late Seed Corn Tests. Every farmer who plants corn tests his seed corn. Some farmers test theirs before planting and some test theirs by planting. Those who test their seed corn before planting are able to plant good seed and get a larger yield as a result Those who test their seed corn by planting do not know what kind of a yield they will get un til the end of the season when it is too late to do anything to improve the crop. Fortunately, more and more corn raisers now test their seed corn before planting. Certainly precau tions should be taken, however, in making one's tests: The exact number of kernels taken from each ear should be known. The seed being tested should be kept moist, but not soaking wet and should have air. The temperature at which the corn should be kept should be about that to which the corn will be exposed when plantedfrom 50 to 70 degrees. After 10 or 15 days kernels showing a strong growth should be counted. Ears showing poor germination should then be discarded. If there is not enough corn for this then, kernels from such ear)s should be planted more thickly to provide for a full stand. flO TIME WILL BE WASTED Roads Prepared to Move Vast Army if Word Comes. Chicago, April 4.The movement of 110,000 men to the Mexican border last year gave the railroads a chance to work out means for transportation of troops on a large scale, railroad officials here say, and they are now prepared to move any number to atiy point with all speed.

Once started, the snow is disappearing very" rapidly. Each week sees an improvement in the con dition of the roads. Two weeks ago there was so much snow that when a certain young man went to take his lady friend riding they became so hopelessly stuck in a snowdrift that the whole family had to go to their assistance. Last week, with the heavy thaw, driving and walking was made almost impossible by the treacherous snow and water.
