T he space devoted to an exhibit of the products and processes of agriculture at the St. Louis world's fair will far exceed that devoted to any one industry in any previous ex position. At the Columbian E x position at Chicago it was the Man towered ufacturers' Building over all other structures. In it was grouped a vast display of the pro ducts of all lines of manufacturing enterprise, not only in this country but in foreign lands. that At St. Louis agriculture is given the premier place among exhibits. T he Palace of Agriculture, which surpasses in extent all other exposi tion structures, is 1,600 feet long and will cost over half a million dollars. In all, inside and outside space, more than seventy acres are devoted to the progress and development of the science of husbandry. Agriculture is not given this prominent place because of a sudden discovery that it outranks all other industries in point of value of pro duct or importance to our national welfare. T h at it stands first among the industries of man and that all other activities rest upon the tilling of the soil was conceded long ago. It was given first place at this ex position because agriculture was so in conspicuously the prime factor the development of the territory embraced in the " Louisiana Terri tory." T he suggestion is made that the work of gathering and installing the colossal exhibits of agriculture and horticulture at St. Louis furnishes an opportunity for a comprehensive historical record of the development of American husbandry that should suggestion not be is worthy of consideration. Other expositions have devoted much space to agriculture, but the educa that tional and historical material was developed in the preparation of the exhibits was never utilized or preserved in such a way as to make it of practical value to American farmers or manufacturers. lost. T he serious In the annals of human progress there is nothing comparable to the story of the development of husban dry in this country. As the display at the St. Louis exposition is to be comprehensive and educational it will provide a wealth of material for the story of American agriculture, which should embrace not only the results of scientific husbandry but the activities that are directly related to the tilling of the soil. — Record- Herald, Chicago.

T he THE M. A. C. RECORD. M. A. C. FOOTBALL T E A M - - 1 9 0 4. THE YEAR'S WORK IN ATH LETICS. T he past year has been a remark able one at M. A. C. in many ways. Not only has the class work been of a high order, but we have escaped all serious epidemics. Our death rate has been only three out of a population of about 1,500. Many improvements have been made and progress has been the watchword. In competition with the classical col leges of Michigan we secured third place in oratory and won easily from the Normal College in debate. Our the oratorical average standing in association for the past four years puts us in second place and if the record for the seven years was com plete this position would undoubtedly be improved, thus placing us first in oratory. But M. A. C. develops both brain and brawn. Education means service, power to do, power to acquire and to initiate, the control of the impulses, the setting up of a high ideal. We have spoken of our mental triumphs and will now consider the physical, although the two cannot be separated. in this condition. takes its place among T he one thing to notice that visitors never fail is the general vigor and robust appearance of our young women and young men. Gym nastics and athletic work are salient T he factors women have regular work in the gymnasium and while military drill largely the men, it should not be forgotten that about 400 took gymnasium work of some sort this year and that over 100 were for athletic teams and received all the benefit that comes from systematic the stu training. Athletics unite dents and give tone to the whole col lege community. T h ey advertise the college as nothing else can. Very few institutions are afflicted with strong legs and weak brains at the same time. T he best students may not always be the best athletes but that has strong athletic a college candidates active teams scholastic lines. is generally strong along This year M. A. C. has won the following championships: Football, basketball, baseball, field and track, in-door and relay. T h is is the first time that any college has done this in the history of the M. I. A. A. Our record in football is clear. We played every college the state and did not lose a game. Not a college equalled us in team work individual playing and with or in nine of the old team back, we will hustle things next fall. in In basketball there was practically no opposition among the colleges of the state. Alma was the only one that showed any tendency towards developing a good team. Alma always does her best and is one of the most sportsmanlike institutions in Michigan. She defeated us by a narrow margin in one basketball game and deserves all the credit that victory brings. We lost the game through being crippled and through carelessness. A l ma won by hard work and careful playing. While nobody would consider this game a true criterion of Alma's team, it sim ply illustrates the hare and turtle fable. F or several years M. A. C. has been very unfortunate in her base ball teams. At times it seemed as if everything was coming our way, lo, and behold, we could when, awaken after a certain game, as if from a trance, to find our champion ship possibilities gone a-glimmering. This year there is a different story to relate. T he team grew stronger as time went along, became more a unit and played with more enthusi asms. Petty bickerings were un known. Everybody ball every minute and played as well as right here is he knew how. And the secret of success. the While we lost to Michigan, we more than evened things up by defeating Wisconsin in a 15-inning game by a score of 3 to 2. We won every championship game played and thus brought home the Bracket cup. played team's A. and one of the best all-round athletes: M. A. C. wishes him success in his future work. BASEBALL. M. A.

This doesen't leave much comfort for the preachers, but the record will stand to M. A. C's and is a monument pluck, push and perseverance. This resume would not be com plete without a reference to the man w ho has been quietly at work all the year, and not only knows what to do and how to do it, but w ho has the ability to keep students interested and enthusiastic. Mr. Brewer had a difficult task before him last fall, but he succeeded, and his success has been the result of hard work. T he young men teams have been clean, gentlemanly, and true sportsmen.

Corn affected with the wolf, or little grain moth of Europe, has been sent to M r. Pettit. This is the first time this pest has been sent in from Michigan. T he scientific name, is T I N EA larval G R A N E L L A. T he fotm destroys the kernels, and in Europe it is considered a dangerous insect. M r. Pettit sent specimens to Washington, which were the first of the kind received there from the United States. While" it has been mentioned manv times in American writings, a careful investigation has either failed to reveal authentic spe cimens or has brought out some other form with which it has been confused. It is reported as doing considerable damage in corn Cribs. A parasite, Idechthis ephestue, was found working on the pest. T he board in the different clubs was audited for this term with the following results: Club A, $2.40; Club B, $2.So; Club C, $1.90; Club D, $2.72; Club E, $2.70; Club G, $2,50; Club H, $2.32. Club A will run during vacation. T he rate will be $2.75 for members and $ 3 00 for non-members. T he increase in cost over preceding terms is due to the high prices paid for potatoes and meat. '03.
