F or an hour he held the closest attention of his audience as he told of characteristic incidents from the experiences he had had with M r. Clyde Fitch, M r.

All in all, his ad dress was most profitable and most interesting. A large part of the afternoon the play in the audience attended evening, and all the more enjoyed M r. Kyle's artistic, effective presen tation of Manson because they had come into a kind of personal touch with him in the afternoon. FORESTRY LETTER. T he following w as taken from a from one of last letter year's in the Forestry course, w ho took the civil service examination and is now in Utah : received seniors " T wo days after arriving in O g- den in July, I was assigned to a re connaissance party, working in the Manti forest in central Utah. O ur work here consisted principally in estimating timber, although nearly an equal amount of time w as spent riding around trying to find t he growth is timber. T he forest mostly Engelman spruce, Douglas fir, and White fir, with a few scat tering western yellow pines. I was on this work for four weeks and was then assigned as technical assis tant on t he Fillmore and Esvier forest. T he rest of t he summer wras spent in examining cut-over lands, maping burns, etc. I find that it takes a long list to enumerate the different arts and sciences of which a forest assistant is supposed to be master, or at least to know- something of. On J a n u a ry 15th a party of six of us, made up of two Yale men, one Pennsylvania man, one Uni versity of Michigan man, one prac tical timber cruiser and myself, were sent down here to the Kabab forest to estimate and map timber. T h is forest is a large plateau of over a million acres, situated just north of the Grand Canyon and south of the Utah-Arizona line. It used to be the Grand Canyon N o r th Forest. T he plateau has an elevation of seven to nine thousand feet, and is thickly covered with a fine stand of yellow pine. In the higher eleva tions, considerable spruce and fir are found. T he six of us had to carry four thousand pounds of pro visions eight miles to get in here. We used snow shoes for the first three weeks of our work. T he forest is unsurveyed and so the first thing we have to do is to run our own township lines. O ur medium we run with a transit, but the other lines we run by the compass. We do not attempt to sectionize, b ut merely to r un to the boundary line east or west and and one town through the center of each ship. In estimating we run through the center of a ]4. section, a line t wo chains wide from one line to the center line. We go east or west 1^ through mile and back three miles the opposite quarter of the same section. One man runs the com topography while pass and takes the this way, we cover five per cent, of the total area. T h is work is being car ried on more thoroughly than what the geological survey did over this same area. It is slow- w o r k, for it takes so much time to run the lines, but we are plugging away every day and hope to finish the work about next October. So far we have covered sixty sections. estimate. others In M. A. C. seems to be getting along fine in the service with Kiefer and Granger forest supervisors, and lots of good chances for the others. that the service has decided that all for est assistants are worth $1,200 per year. Every one out here is glad ALFALFA WINTERKILLING. T he problem of seed to plant Michigan alfalfa fields is a very important one. T he department tell us that people at W a s h i n g t on millions of pounds of practically dead seed is imported yearly. T h is and the weed problem can be con trolled by the inspection work now being started in Michigan. Laying aside the question of weeds and dead seed, there is the question of winterkilling of certain lots. T he latter is just as import ant to Michigan agriculture as the former, b ut is harder to control. We need acclimated home grown seed, and the sooner we raise our own seed the better we will be off. Until that time we will have to de pend on outside sources. T he Michigan Experiment Sta tion, in its search for better seed to use as the basis of improved varie ties of alfalfa, has obtained seed from 123 different sources. T h e se have been compared side by side and given as nearly as possible the same chance. rows. t he nursery In 1909 a number of these differ ent lots were set out in nursery rows. T he seed was sown in thrifty plants set beds and only into T h is connected leaves any problem with weeds or dead seed out of con sideration. T he rows were two feet apart, and each row was planted from a different lot of seed. In the fall the stand w as almost perfect. In the last of February, 1910, an ice sheet covered these rows. T he results of this test are interesting. S P R A G G. OLIVET 5 —M. A. C. 1. In the first baseball g a me of the season M. A. C. was defeated Satur- . ,. j•••<•, day by Olivet, s to 1.
