Booker  T.  Washington  has  been

varieties  and  are  shipped  largely  to 
Iowa  and  other  states  of  the  north 
west  as  are  also  the  American  and 
Chickasaw  plums. 
Japan  varieties 
of  plums  are  grown  to  some  extent 
but  no  European  kinds  are  propa

long 
foliage  well  throughout 
summer  'season  and  the  wood  does 
not  mature  properly.  Plums  are 
all grown  on  Marianna  stocks  propa 
gated  by  means  of  cuttings.  These 
cuttings  are  taken  in  the  fall  from 
stocks  containing  dormant  buds. 
In 
late  fall  or early  winter  they  are  put 
out  in  nursery  rows  and  the  follow 
ing  summer  are  ready  for  budding. 
Very  little  trouble  is  experienced 
in  this  section  from  attacks  of  insect 
pests  and  fungous  diseases.  This 
may  be  in  a  measure  due  to  the  fact 
that  there  are  but  few  orchards  in 
the  vicinity  of  Huntsville  to  attract 
insects  and  disseminate 
diseases. 
A l t h o u gh  many  kinds  of  nursery

the  Huntsville  Nurseries,  has  ex 
perimented  largely  with  many  kinds 
of 
their  trial  grounds 
but  with  very  unsatisfactory  results. 
Late  spring  frosts  are  one  cause  of 
failure  and  the  lack  of  lime  in  the 
soil  may  have  much  to  do  with  trees 
not  fruiting  well.

It  proved  to  be  very  enjoyable. 

T he  opening  number  was  given 
by  the  M.  A.  C.  chorus  with  a  duet 
by  Miss  N e w m an  and  M r.  Ball. 
T he  piano  solos  given  by  the  pupils 
of  the  music  department,  the  Misses 
Goodrich,  Deyarmond,  Webster, 
Nolan  and  Hudson,  were  all  well 
rendered  and  showed  careful  train 
ing  as  well  as  conscientious  practice 
the  part  of  the  pupils.  T wo 
on 
numbers  were  given  bv  Mrs.  Mar 
shall,  and  that 
they  were  well  ap 
preciated  was  shown  by  the  enthu 
siastic  applause  that  foWpwed. 

Mr.  Nagelvoort  is  a  welcome  ad 
dition  to  any  program  and  his  trom 
bone  solo  was  vigorously  encored. 
T he  program  was varied  by  read 
ings  by  Mr. K i n g.  Only  two  selec 
tions  were  announced,  but  the  well

Sugar  Course  will  be  at  an  end. 

T he  course  consists  of  laboratory 
work  six  hours  a  day  and  lectures 
one  hour.  Prof.  Wheeler 
lectures 
from  the  botanical  side  of  the  ques 
tion,  giving  the various  diseases  that 
infect  sugar  beets  and  spending  a 
great  deal  of  time  in  making  germi 
nation  tests  of  different  varieties  of 
seed.  Prof.  T o w ar  lectures  on  the 
soil,  fertilizers,  etc., best  adapted  for 
the  growth  of  beets. 

T he  laboratory  work  is  under  the 
direction  of  Prof.  F.  S.  Kedzie,  Mr. 
A.  N.  Clark  and  H.  S.  Reed.  T he 
two  latter  have  had  actual  experi 
ence  in  the  factory  and  so  are  able 
to  do  away  with  all  useless  theory. 

T he  work  consists  of  beet  testing,

Athletic  Notes. 

Alma's  ball  team  came  down  last 
Saturday  and  M. A.  C.  took 
them 
in  by  a  score  of  11 to 6.  T he  vis 
itors  went  to  pieces  in  the  first  I n 
ning  and  made  error  after  error, but 
during  the  rest  of  the  game  steadied 
down  to  good  play.  At the  seventh 
inning 
things  began  to  look  inter 
esting,  as  the  score  stood  7  to  5. 
M.  A.  C.  played  a  good  steady 
game  and  batted  better  than  usual. 

At  a  mass  meeting  held  in  the 
chapel  on  Friday  afternoon  at  5 
o'clock,  over  $70  was  raised,  with 
subscription  papers  to  be  circulated 
to  those  not  present.  More  enthu 
siasm  is  being  aroused  for  athletics 
and  the  outlook  is  far  more  favor 
able  from  a  financial  standpoint  as 
well  as in  athletic  achievement. 

T he  track  team  is  rounding  out 
in  good  promising  form,  and is ready 
for  the  final  three  weeks  of 
finishing 
up. 

M.  A.  C.  played  at  Kalamazoo 
on  Monday  of  this  week,  while  this 
is  in  press,  and  the  result  will  be 
announced  next  week.  We  play  at 
Ypsilanti  next  Saturday,  and  Hills

of  these  games  are  intercollegiate, 
and  the  outcome  is eagerly  watched.
