MCCOOL of the Soils department has prepared a popular bulletin for presen tation cf the work of the department at the Michigan State Grange meeting on December 14 at Grand Rapids. This is an effort on the part of the soils department to aid grangers and other farmers of the state on soil fer tility problems, and includes a discussion of the value of crop residues. This data is based upon the results of all fertilizer experiments in the state to date, correlating all work in cluding the recent extensive soil survey of the state. them after PRESIDENT MARION BURTON of the U n i versity of Michigan will be a guest of the Teachers' Club of Lansing on December 8, when he will address their ban quet.

Dr. Marshall was for a number of years head of the Bacteriology department at M. A. C. They had long visits with Dr. Ken- formerly yon Butterfield cashier here at the college, and with Dr. Arao Itano '11, assistant to Dr. Marshall. At Cor nell they were entertained by Miss Georgia' White, Advisor of Women at Cornell and Dean of Home Economics at M. A. C. from 1914-1918. Mr. Brown had luncheon at the University Club one noon with the following M. A. C. men: Harris Collingwood '11, Dick Crosby '93, Dwight Sanderson '97, Merle Bottomley '16, and Dr. O. A.

They are devoting upwards of a year and a half to this work, and are making observations which will ultimately serve as a basis for recommendations to the Japanese Government regarding agricultural education and research in Japan. Both gentlemen ex pressed themselves as having been very fa impressed with the College and its vorably work. While at East Lansing, Dr. Yukawa had the pleasure of meeting one of his former pupils, H.

Mrs. Nelson has written several short stories which have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, "Mary In Time," "Charles French's Vacation," "The Milky Way," and " T he Gold Coin." She has also written two plays intended at first for the entertainment of the Collegiate Alumnae Association of Lawrence, Kansas, but the fame of which have so spread that they have been given by other associations of collegiate alumnae in Kansas. T he piay se lected by the local branch is an unusually funny comedy, a satire on the high-minded college graduate with a notebook equal to any emergency. Mrs. B. B.

That the annual Farmers' Week held at the college is appreciated by the people out in the state is evidenced by a number of letters just received by A. M. Berridge.'12, Direc tor of Short Courses, from bankers in various .parts of Michigan. These are in response to some advertising posters sent by Mr. Ber- ridge to the banks, with the request that they be put in some conspicuous place. These are some excerpts from the letters: "We are in full sympathy with the move ment and have been for many years. We are guilty of having paid the expenses of some of our farmers in order to have them attend, and on one occasion the writer actually went with a man in order to get him to attend. We have also given prizes that required the win ners to take the trip to the college at our expense. Enough said. Don't let your right hand know, etc. I mention these matters in order that you may know we are truly active in behalf of our community and the college." "We will be glad to cooperate in any way we can, and hope you will send a liberal sup ply of programs when they are ready." • "Our bank is ready to cooperate with you in the distributing of your programs, as we feel that it is a step in the right direction. Also wish to state that it is the intention of our institution to have a representative in Lan sing during that week." "We realize the immense importance of it your work with inspiration gives them to do better farming and better living—and anything we can" do to aid will be cheerfully done." farmers—the "We are heartily -in favor of any such move ment for the betterment of agriculture, and thank you for the privilege to boost for M A.

The rules that 12 THE M. A. C. RECORD. they have drawn up and the means of pun ishing the offender certainly do not meet with my approval.

M. A. C. Spirit," so often referred to, that is back of a bunch of fellows who invite the student body and others to see a "frosh" shoved mercilessly off into the water some twelve or fifteen feet below. It reminds one of the old idea of making a holiday out of a hanging. If this thing is allowed to go on I feel quite certain that the enrollment of the college will be decreased each year instead of increased. I would like to have the rules as drawn up and the so called "official notice"- given with them in the Holcad published in the Record in order that more of the alumni may become acquainted with them and have a chance to express their opinion of them.
