A home football game with Mich igan, another game with W a b a sh in which they will try to turn last fall's defeat into victory, and a game with Notre Dame are among the hard games of next fall's schedule which Coach Brewer gave out at the foot ball meeting last Wednesday night. About 30 candidates for next fall's team were out. Coach Brewer, in his address, gave, the men to under team that good, consistent stand work and individual playing will be necessary to carry schedule through successfully, and to that end regular practice will be held on the S p.

T he corn was selected and cared for in the best possible manner. Tests of many samples sent in from through out the state show, in most cases, that the average seed corn is very poor. In one case only 1 ear out of 12 was fit for planting. A n ew engineering company composed mostly of M. A. C. men has been formed at Detroit under the name of the Central Engineer ing Co. S. E.

N ew sod walks are now being made, new plants put in and the general ap pearance greatly improved. T he plants stood the winter especially well, partly on account of the deep snow and because of the heavy mulch of march hay which was applied. • Dean Gilchrist gave a dinner at the W o m e n 's Building T h u r s d ay evening for M r s.

Christman Co. of South Bend, Indiana, now laying the foundation for the new agri cultural building. Although M r. Christman has not seen the inside of a schoolhouse since he was 13 years old, he has practically risen to the top of the ladder in his pro fession. However, he recognizes the importance of a college training and advises all young men, wishing to succeed in life, to attend college. A misunderstanding with our as sociate editors was responsible for our omitting, last week, mention of one of the important events of the college year, the Student Officers' Conference of the Y. M. C. A. of Michigan, held at the college April 24-26. Fifty delegates from other Michigan colleges were in attend ance . T he session was opened by banquet in the W o m e n 's building Friday night.

Director Shaw of the Experiment Station is preparing to meet a long- felt need of the farmers of the state for short, concise information on special subjects by issuing circulars dealing in a simple and direct man ner with the subjects about which questions are most often asked of the station. T he first two pam phlets of the series, which by the way are Dot regular bulletins, have already been gotten out. T he first deals with Alfalfa and relates to the soils suitable to its g r o w t h, cultiva tion, seeding, fertilizing, etc. T he second gives the rules governing the official tests of pure bred dairy cows and the requirements for ad vanced registry of Guernsey, Hol- stein-Friesian and Jersey cattle. A circular of similar nature dealing with the question of milk testing is under way and will be followed by others on other phases of farm operation as occasion requires. T he supply of these circulars is limited as they are not intended for public distribution but only as answers to questions on these subjects. THE ENGINEERING BUILD ING TO BE DEDICATED.

Almost every Sunday and often on week days crowds of people from the city and many students go to the woods and gather armfulls of wild flowers only to find on return ing that they are wilted and have to be thrown away. This wholesale gathering of the wild flowers is fast destroying t he supply about the campus. Already the trilliums and many other flowers have been ex terminated from the Angell woods and each year they are becoming fewer in the college woods. Trilli ums, adder tongues and other bul bils plants are destroyed when the stem is pulled up and some others are dependent upon the seeds of this year's plants for next year's crop. A little discretion on the part of the students will help some toward prolonging the supply of the wild flowers even if the depre dations of our city friends cannot be controlled. T he Hesperian party which was to have been held last Friday nicht has been postpdned on account of the serious illness of Ernie V a u g h n 's father. At the request of M r s. Gaskins the P r a ng Educational Co., has placed a complete set of their " T e xt books of A rt E d u c a t i o n" in our library.
