evening was largely attended by cottagers
and friends from the city. The number of

A ROTATION SERMON
Prof Snyder Discusses Wheat and
Exhaustion of Soil.
FERTILITY CAN BE MAINTAINED
Wheat In Not So Exhausting on Soil
aa the Lack of Careful
Methods.
"Bumper" wheat crops cannot long
prevail if farmers disregard the simple
rules for the scientific cultivation of
farms in the great wheat areas in Minne
sota and the Dakotaa. This is a state
ment made by Professor Harry Snyder,
chemist of the experiment station at the
state agricultural college at St. Anthony-
Park, in a pamphlet on "The Influence
of Wheat Farming on Soil Fertility,"
just issued. Professor Snyder has made
an exhaustive study of the effect of con
tinuous wheat culture and the rotation of
crops upon the composition of the soil,
extending over a period of several years.
His conclusions are that wheat is not
an exhaustive crop when it is grown in
rotation, but when it is grown continu
ously the fertility of the soil is impaired.
It is not the crop itself that reduces the !
fertility, he finds, but the lack of sys
tematic methods of farming. By the ro
tation of crops, the use of farm manures
and the cultivation of clover, the heavy
losses ot the rich chemical properties of
the soil, so essential to the healthy
growth of crops, is checked, end larger
yields and a better quality of wheat se
cured.
Wheat and Soil Exhaustion.
In his report Professor Snyder says:
By many, wheat is considered an. exhausting
crop, and it is believed that it makes heavy
drafts upon the fertility of the soil. The way
it is usually cultivated does impair fertility.
The experiment* that have been made show,
however, that it is not the crop itself that is
responsible for the loss of nitrogen and the
decline in fertility, but the method, or,
rather, lack of systematic method of cropping
that has been followed. When wheat is raised
in a rotation it is not a soil-depleting crop,
but when raised continuously large amounts
of nitrogen are lost, not through the crop,
but by the decomposition of the nitrogenous
humus. While many wheat farms of the
northwest have lost large amounts of nitro
gen, the soils are by no means depleted of
their nitrogen.
When properly grown in a rotation, wheat
is not an exhaustive crop; it takes less plant
food from the soil than many farm crops. It
is the method, not the crop, which has caused
the decline of fertility.
The use cf commercial fertilizers as a means
of returning the fertility to the soil has been
proposed and tried. The experiments that
have been made by this station show that
commercial fertilizers cannot be used eco
nomincally in the production of large areas
of wheat in the northwest. The only feasible
way of making old wheat lands more pro
ductive is to rotate the crops, growing some
leguminous crop, use farm manures,and prac
tice more thorough cultivation.
Wheat soils "recuperate" easily when
given the right culture, and the loss of
nitrogen can be checked and even the
amount increased by a rotation of crops.
This makes the outlook for wheat produc
tion even better than it has been.
POP SEASON CLOSES
The Small Boys' Corner Stand Is
Now Forsaken.
TRADE GOOD WHILE IT LASTED
Many a Youngster Made Enough to
Start a Respectable Bank
Account.
The beginning of the end of the pop
season is here. Juvenile proprietors of
soft drinks dispensaries all over the city
are closing up their corner stands, and
preparing for the fast approaching 6chool
term. With the opening of the public
schools their business closes. When the
schools close they will resume, for the
summer, with its prolonged hot 'spell, has
been very profitable and many of the
youngsters are already looking forward to
a resumption of commercial pursuits next
spring.
Thoir method of retiring from business
is simple and effective. First they cell
out thsir stock, then they telephone the
manufacturer to send a wagon around for
the empty cases till on hand, and after
that they remove their stands and store
them, either In the parental woodshed; or
in some unused corner of the back yard,
there to await the coming of another sea
son. When all this has been accomplished
nothing remains but to count up the sum
mer's profits, or at least so much of them
as have survived the temptations of cir
cuses, ball games and other foram of ex
pensive amusement that appeal to the
boyish heart.
The Stand* Have Paid.
There were more pop and lemonade
stands in and around Minneapolis during
the past summer than ever before, end
practically all were successful. In fact, It
has been the best pop season ever known,
and the boys have been so buey that they
haven't had time to get Into mischief.
According to figures furnished by one of
the big manufacturers of soft dTinks, many
of these Juvenile merchants sold as high
as fourteen cases of the seductive bever
ages each week and as they make a profit
of sixty cents on each case—just 100 per
cent —they have been well paid for their
labor.
Manufacturers estimate that fully 2,000
cases of pop, root beer and ginger ale
have been sold at stands operated by
school boys during the past summer. Moet
of these stands also sold lemonade and
gum. Many carried a small stock of can
dies as well, so that the season's profits,
in the aggregate, will reach a comfortable
little sum .On pop and kindred beverages
alone, the gains were at least $1,200 —not
bad, when it la remembered that the boys
look upon such work as play.
The manufacturers called for empty
cases and delivered goods as often as four
times a week at some of the best patron
ized stands, and frequent deliveries were
made through agents to those stalls lo
cated along suburban cycle pathe. The
business has been a profitable one to them
as well as to the boys, and they also er«
sorry to see it abandoned.

Strenuous city life, or something of that

fall asleep in the postoffice lobby this

took charge of the young man until the

TIE BUSY MAN'S CHANCE
TO GET A GOOD EDUCATION
The Y. M. C. A. Prospectus Tell*!
of Increased Facilities for Its
Educational Department.
"Education For Busy Men," a unique
and attractive prospectus has been issued
by the educational department of the
Young Men's Christian Association. The
booklet Is of light green stock made up in
two colors, dark green and red. Com
plete plans and courses are outlined by
the department in hope of making the edu
cational feature of the Y. M. C. A. the
coming fall and winter more popular with
the young men of Minneapolis than ever
before.
The classroom accommodations have
been greatly increased, but from indica
tions they will be scarcely large enough
to provide room for those who will at
tend.
The evening class work of the Young
Men's Christian association is peculiar.
No other institution has met the needs
of that class of men whose early advance
ment has been hindered by lack of mental
training and whose time during the day
is given to employment. All classes meet
in the evening between the hours of 7:30
and 9:30. An unusually efficient corps of
teachers has been secured to take charge
of the work for the year. Th© charges
are nominal and work practical.
Advanced Courses.
A -feature of the work this year, as
outlined by the prospectus, will be ad
vanced courses in studies taken up here
tofore only in an elementary way, intro
ducing a graded system which follows
closely that of other educational institu
tions.
Classes have been arranged for in seven
courses: Business, mathematics, English,
modern languages, science, drawing, spe
cial. The business course is designed to
give practical training to young men who
wish to enter commercial life. Both ele
mentary and advanced courses on book
keeping will be given under the able su
pervision of B. F. Bailey who had charge
of the class last year. J. J. Hagan will
instruct In stenography and penmanship.
The arithmetic classes will again be In
charge of C. V. Smith. Special attention
will be given to short methods and rapid
calculation. A class in algebra, new this
year, will be under the direction of J.
A. Thaler. The class for foreigner's in
English, instituted last year will be con
tinued. Mr. Bailey will have charge.
Classes in reading, spelling and grammar
will be included. Clayton D. Gilbert of
the Johnson school, will conduct two
classes in oratory, one for beginners, the
other for second year men. The modern
languages will be under the supervision
of M. F. Liberma of the university, and
will include French, German and Spanish.
The last language is taken up for the
first time this year. The great call for
young men to our newly acquired Spanish
speaking territories demands it. The
study of electricity has a prominent place
in the curriculum. An elementary course
will be conducted by J. E. Barker, also a
course of lectures on the more advanced
phases by prominent electricians of the
city. The first aid class for firemen will
be carried on as last year. The drafting
course includes elementary and advanced
mechanical drawing under J. A. Thaler,
and architectural, elementary and ad
vanced freehand and design under W. H.
Kirchner. The mandolin club will be con
tinued under H. P. Sutorius. A class in
vocal music will be added under the di
rection of W. R. Wiley. This class will
be organized into a glee club later in the
year. A new and much needed feature,
which will be added to the course this
year will be the good government club.
The purpose is to study and discuss muni
cipal and social problems and to encourgae
good government. The "Senate" will con
vene as usual each week of the coming
term following Its usual lines of pro
ceedure.
The diplomas granted by the Interna
tional committee to those who success'
fully pass the examinations at the close
of the year are now recognized in 110 col
leges and universities of the country.
Information regarding class work (may
be bad at the office, Tenth street andf
Mary place or addressing E. A. Purdy,
educational director.

ACTION WAS ARBITRARY
Dr. McCollom's View of Fraternal
Congrrean Boost of Rate*.
Dr. C. A. MoCollom, delegate from the
Modern Woodmen of America to the Na
tional Fraternal congress, which met In
Detroit last week, was one of the mem
bers of that body who opposed the arbi
trary hoisting of assessment rates. Dr.
McCollom admits that the Woodmen
rates are now too low, but objects stren
uously to arbitrary action on the part
of the congress. Asked whether the Wood
men would secede from the panfraternal
body as a result of its action, he replied
that he did not known. The raise does not
go into effect until 1905.
