The Readers of the Record Own It. That's Why They Patronize Its Advertisers 4 THE M. A. C. RECORD The Importance of a Good Frame The main frame is the foundation of a tractor. On it are mounted the engine, bearings, shafts, axles and their attachments. It is absolutely necessary, therefore, t h at the frame be designed and built with the outstanding fact in mind t h at upon it, basically, depends the continuous satisfactory operation of the tractor. The main frame of Case 10-18 and 15-27 Kerosene Tractors is cast in one piece and is absolutely rigid and twist-proof. Three-point suspension permits all four wheels of the tractor to follow irregularities in the ground when working in rough fields, without subjecting the frame to twisting strains. Our frame houses the rear axle, and bull pinion shaft, constitutes the main part of the crank case and transmission case, and contains the bearings for all these parts. Because of this composite housing feature, permanent alignment of This feature also provides easy acces shafts, gears and bearings is assured. sibility to the principal working parts. Our main frame construction prevents deflection. This is one reason why Case Tractors last longer. Next to the engine, the main frame should be the most important consider ation in selecting a tractor. J. I. CASE THRESHING MACHINE COMPANY WISCONSIN RACINE Dept. B306 2/ THE M. A. C. RECORD VOL.

This is done in four ways: thru infor the mation to the student who afterwards carries of it back avenues teaching, farming and scientific work; thru extension work; thru distribution of bulle tins and publications which reach out in all practical impart lines and farmers; to and Farmers' Week meetings. information thru gatherings imparting of the farm similar thru the to to No rural workers less than sixteen associations of agri culturalists and are holding their annual sessions and conferences during the week. These include such important and strong organizations as the State Farm Bu reau, the Horticultural Society, and the Crop Improvement, Poultry and Potato Growers Associations. This shows to what extent the college has become the center of agricultural thought and interest for the entire state, and the degree of its recognition as such a center. To one on the campus this week the De troit News would have a difficult .time to prove its point that the college is out of joint farmer. with the Michigan . Each year the farmers are coming to de pend more and more upon the college for the solution of their problems—the eradication of improvement plant. and animal diseases, of their products, more economical and efficient methods of pro duction, and dozens of other phases of agri culture; and as the years go by these needs are being met more and more effectively. When we compare the college of today with the college of five or ten years ago, we ordi increase narily measure in students only, and forget these other ac tivities—just as important and far reaching— which have grown, and extended out into the state with almost unbelievable rapidity. livestock, marketing its growth by their the the FARMERS' WEEK the adverse criticism circulated If the numbers in attendance at M. A. C. are any criterion of Farmers' Week gatherings as the results of advertising, then some of in several papers of the state recently has done us more good than harm. It would seem that the motto of a certain business man "If your competitor talks about you put him on your pay roll, no matter what he says just so he talks," often holds true. Whatever may be the cause, never in the history of the college has any meeting or series of meetings at tracted so many people from all parts of the state and never has such a splendid program VISIT DEAN DAVENPORT'S e v e ry We wish single a l u m n us could have heard , Eugene Davenport '78 Vice President and Dean of Agriculture at the University of Illinois in his address be fore the Farmers' Week throng in the gym nasium Wednesday night this week.

Our athletics are for our students, alumni, and college family first of all, and it is unfair to Michigan people to have to play all of our big games away from home. A big football game will bring back to the college great groups of alumni as almost no other single event can, and one of the best things for the institution is this return of former students. If the Michigan game could be played at M. A. C. we would have a record breaking home coming crowd, and a spirit of interest and enthusiasm would be generated which would last over until another year. At present it is impossible for the Aggies to schedule big games on the home field, and everyone knows that a team always plays bet ter and has more chance to win when it has - its own student body back of it on the home field. This has been repeatedly proven. A team wins several hard games at home, then takes a long trip and loses the game sched uled. Because of our games with big teams, all of which must now necessarily be played on the opponents' fields, our number of games won at the end of the season is not as large as it should be. they than returns to the athletic If more big games could be played here, the department financial at are would be much greater present. The seating capacity of our stands the annual game with is only 6,000, while Michigan draws an attendance of more than 20,000 people. Under present conditions, this game must be played at Ann Arbor every year. in Practically every college and university the west with the exception of M. A..C. either has completed or is building a new stadium. Iowa State, Missouri and Chicago are among the schools which have completed new out door plants. Purdue is now raising the money with which to build, and Ohio State has com pleted its fund of $1,000,000 to construct a stadium, while the University of Michigan will complete its concrete stadium with two new units before the end of the year. the in 1900, and during The present field used by the Aggies was the five years acquired following it was steadily improved. The last construction of any kind on field oc curred 12 years ago. Nothing has been spent since that time. It has been shown -that the life of wooden structures of this type averages from 10 to 12 years. Most of the equipment on the East Lansing field has been in use several years longer than that. At the same time the present field is situated on the banks of the river on a sandy plot of ground, which has been built up by the annual overflow of to the river. There the field, and to build new and costly struc this field would of course be tures on im It is the hope of Director Brewer practical. that when a new stadium it will be on a new site where the college orchard now stands east of the Woman's Building. is no solid foundation is erected In the budget for the college now before the state legislature is included $100,000 for a new field and stadium. This fund will not be sufficient to complete a modern outdoor plant but, given this amount by the state, the finance athletic association of the college can the building program, largely thru increased receipts from the big games. Athletic events .. when properly staged have become popular social affairs as is attested by the greatly in creased popularity of our own basket ball games now played in the new gymnasium. We must have an athletic stadium if M. A. C. is to retain her place in middle western athletics. Lack of facilities are keeping us back. Let's rectify this situation and instead of_ "crabbing" about it, get out and work for this appropriation. THE M. A. C. RECORD 9 Who's Who Colonel John P. Finley '73.

Straining is the direct result of constipation, that is, failure of the system to eliminate easily, regu larly and thoroughly. , It follows, then, that to prevent piles or to bring about their removal by non-surgical means, constipation must be overcome. The Nujol treatment of hemorrhoids or piles is in a large part the treatment that is, to bring about of constipation easy, soft, regular elimination, in such a way as to make it unnecessary to "strain"; and also to avoid the injury to the tissue by dried out, hardened waste matter. Nujol not only soothes the suffering of V^ piles, but relieves the irritation, brings comfort, and helps to remove them. Nujol has no unpleasant or weak ening effects. Does not upset the stomach.
