• 

It is  a  busy  season  for  t!1e  men 
who ha ndle  the various depa rtments 
making u p  the  agricultural  division 
of  the  college.  Practically  every 
phase of  agricllltura~ acti~·ity as  rep 
resented  at  M.  A.  C.  is  included  in 
the  short  courses,  which  begi n Jan 
uary 5 :lOli  run  through to  February 
1.7,  and  special  preparations 
:Ire 
being  made  to  handle  the  record· 
breaking attendance which is  looked 
for.  Th is  work of getting  ready  is 
in  addition  to  the  final  examinatiol1s 
and  winding  lip o f  the h!1  work  of 
the regular students, wh ich naturally 
takes a  great deal  of  time. 

In  the  seventeen  ·years  previo us 
to  1914  the classes  have g rown from 
45il1  18$17  t0326 in  19 13. 
Inround 
numbe rs,  3,000  men  and  womcn 
have  qenefited  by  the  winter  work 
given at M.  A.  C. 
It is' the size  of 
last  year's  attendance  which  leads 
the college autho rities  to  expect  ,ut 
larger  number  th is  w inte r. 
e\"en 
Each  yea r  has  shown  an  increase 
over  tha t  preceding,  and  they  call 
see  no  reason  why  1914  should  fall 
short. 

If all expectations are  fulfilled,  the 
college  win  pass  the  2,000  mark  for 
its  histor)', and  Nt. 
the  fi rs t  time  ill 
A.  C.  will,  ill 
reality,  enter a  new 
epoch.  Never ugain  will  an  enroll· 
melit of less  than  this  number satis 
fy.  At the  present time  the enroll· 
ment figures  show  a  \otal of slightly 
more Ihan  1700, which, w ith  the  300 
more  which  can  be  reasonably  ex· 
pected to  enter next month, will gi\"e 
the desired  total. 

The us ual  number of courses  will 
b~ gh·cn, the only  difference  being 
that all  run  for  the  same  length  of 
t.ime  this  year.  Some  of  the  old 
students  will  remember  the  days 
when  the  cheese  course  sta rted  a 
little  late  and  ran  a  bit longer. 

T he  courses 

III  general  a~ricul· 
ture and  creamery  m;mugeUlent  will 
be  divided  into  two  classes,- first 
and second  year  mell .  The former 
includes  all  nlen  taking  their  first 
work  here,  while the  latter is  given 
fo r  Illen  who  have  had  some work 
in  the  course.  The  dairy depart. 
ment  w ill  also  give  a  course  in 
cheese  making,  ami  poultry  and 
fruit growing  will  receive  a  goodly 
amount  of  att.ention.  Farm  fores 
try  and  the care of  the home  wood· 
lot  will  be  included  in  the  lisl  of 
subjects  which  combine  to  furnish 
a  well  rounded  course. 

A 

number  o f  miscellaneous 
courses  for  men  interested  in  spe 
cial  branches  will  include  plant dis 
eases,  inju rious  insects,  soils, com 
position  and  use  of  ft;rtilize rs, ;lnd 
a pplicaliolls of gas engll1es  for farm 
power. 

\ Vhile  the  same  rules  rega rd lllg 
class  attendance and  depo rtment a re 
ap plied  to  the short  course  men  as 
to  the  regula r  students,  it  m ust  not 
be  s upposed  that thei r wo r k is  to  he 
all  wo r k  and  no  p lay .  A t  least one 
evening  each  w ee k  a  free  en te rtain·

" ANDY "  SIAS  ORDERED 

TO  VACATE  OLD  SHOP 

Conside rable  surprise,  not  un 
mixed  with  indig-nation,  pre\·uiled 
among the  students  last  week  when 
it  wus  noised  abollt  that" Andy," 
ollicial  t.rimllu: r  of  l\.J.  A.  C.  hair 
since  1903,  had  been ordered  to  va· 
cate h is  present quarters in  the  buth 
house.  The order amounts 10  a  de 
cree  to  leave  the  campus,  as  it  is 
practically  impossible  to  find  any 
other s uitable  location  for  the  s hop. 
The  situation  is  one  which  has 
been  expected  for  some  time,  but 
the sudden denouement  was  hardly 
looked  for at  this time. 
It has  been 
apparent  that Coach  1\J acklin  need 
ed  more room  for  oAkes and  f:lcili· 
ties  for  handling  his  teams,  and  the 
present  b:lrber  shop  W:IS,  of course, 
the  natural  place for  the expansion. 
,.  f\ndy,"  whcn  informed  of  the 
action  of  Secretary  Brown,  asked 
permission  to  remodel  one  of  the 
rooms  in  the  basement, at  his  own 
expense,  because  he  wished  to  reo 
tain  his  centrailocation.  Up to  the 
present time this  matter has not been 
finally  decided,  but it  is  understood 
that  ulliess  the  situution  changes, 
his  request  will  be  refu sed. 

The  sludt:llts,  while  no  demon 
stration  has  been  malle,  feel  very 
slrongly on the  matter,  for  lhe  pres· 
ent location  of  the barber shop  h:ls 
beel]  a  great  cOllven ience  to  them. 

is  furnished  for 

men t 
them,  the 
course  including  illustrated  lectures 
and  musical  programs.  The  short 
course  mcn  arc  always  welcome  to 
atlend  any  of  thc  regular  college 
functions, so the time us ually passes 
all  100  quickly. 

The  short  course  men  will  have 
an  opportunity  to  round  out  their 
experience  by  mingling  with  some 
of  the best  farmers  ill  th e  state dur 
ing  their  stay  here.  The  State 
Livestock  Breeders' Association will 
meet at  the college during  the  third 
week  of January.  During  the  final 
week  of  short  courses  they  will 
have a  chance  to attend  the sessions 
o f  the  annual  Roulld·Up  Ins titute. 
The  women of  the  stilte  will  not 
be  slighted, as  a  course specially de 
signed for  them  will  be  given  at the 
same time  with  the  others.  They 
will  ha\·e  an  opportuni· ··  to  take  up 
and 
the  theory  of  home 
'ppor· 
housekeeping,  as  well 
wility  for  mu ch  p r 
ld  ex-
perimental  work. 

It is  the  general 
of  th e 
authorities  that  the

COLLEGE  WATER  SUPPLY 

FOUND  TO  BE  IMPURE 

For the past two  or  thro;:e  weeks 
the  bacteriological  department  has 
been  vainly  ende'lvorillg  to  locate 
the  source  of  contamination  of the 
It  has  been 
college  water  supply. 
appa rent  fo r  some  time  that  the 
drinking  water  on  the  campus  was 
not as  pure as  it shoulll be, and anal 
yses  whieh  were  takell  showed it to 
be  generously  supplied  with  sew 
age. 

The  college  receives  its  water 
from  fou r  wells,  all  of  wh ich  are  of 
Ihe artesian  type.  They  are  located 
at  VA rious  points  in  the  grOllllds. 
and  the fact  that there  are  so  man)' 
sources of  supply  makes  the  work 
or  determining  the  contamin ating 
source  all  the more d ifficult. 
(Oo n tlnued  o n  I)IlII"Il  •• ) 

At  present  it is  possible  for  a  man 
to  rUll  over to  the  shop  any  lime 
w:hen  he  has  a  vacant  period,  get 
h iS  work  done  and  wke  a  bath . 
This  haS  hecn of  greal  help  to  the 
men in.  getting  r elldy  for  parties. 
Should  the  shop be  remo ved  froUl 
the campus, they say, it  willnecess 
itate many extra trips to town, where 
the boys  will  stay longer  ;ultl  s pend 
more  money than  would  be  the case 
if  they  remained  at school. 

Although  Secretary  Bro ..... n  was 
responSIble  for  the order,  the  memo 
bers of  the  Board  say  they  knew 
absolutely  nothing of it,  and  a  com· 
plete invest igalioll  will  be  made at 
the  meeting  December  17.  Mean· 
time,  "Andy's"  fate  hangs  by  a 
slender thread, so  to speak.
