Booklet to Memory of Dr. Sparks.
To commemmorate the late Dr. Ed-
win Erle Sparks, president of The
Pennsylvania State College from 1908
to 1920, the college has just published
a memorial booklet of about fifty
pages. It contains a biographical
sketch of Dr. Sparks, his educational
ideals and administrative policies in
articles which he.wrote himself. There
is also a chapter on his death and fu-
neral services and the eulogy of pres-
ident John M. Thomas is contained in
full. From the scores of resolutions
and appreciations received by the
family, the faculty committee which
compiled the book selected a dozen
which in themselves reveal the charac-
ter of Dr. Sparks and the great es-
teem which his friends and associates
held for him. The booklet is being
sold at fifty cents a copy by the Car-
negie library at State College, part of
the proceeds going to the Sparks
American History library collection
which students recently started with
contributions amounting to over $5,-
000.

Penn State to Start Freshman Week
: Ahead.
In order that new students might
have an opportunity to get settled,
know their instructors and department
heads and receive vocational guidance
from them, members of the next
freshman class at The Pennsylvania
State College will be asked to go to
the college a week in advance of the
opening date, September 23. The oc-
casion will be known as “Freshman
week” and there will be a regular
schedule of meetings and classes at
which the new. students will be in-
structed in the entire operation of the
college, its activities, history and tra-
ditions.
The Altoona Races Drawing Near.
Earl Cooper, the grand old man of
the roaring road, battler with the fa-
mous Ralph DePalma for the hard
luck championship of the world’s great
courses, and originator of the unique
spinach diet for speed kings harden-
ing themselves for great motor clas-
sics, was formally entered for the 250-
mile championship to be held on the
Senowned Altoona speedway on June
13th.
Twice within the last year has
Cooper been within a shadow of win-
ning great races. Driving a spectac-
ular contest last Memorial day at In-
dianapolis, spurting into the lead ear-
ly in the grueling long grind, victory
was in his hand until almost the fin-
ish. Two tires, ripped and shredded
by his punishing velocity, forced him
to his pit. Joe Boyer, whose tragic
death here last Labor day will never
be forgotten by racing fans, hurled
his car first to the checkered flag.
Earl came second.
Again at the opening last October
of the great oval of the South at
Charlotte, N. C., Cooper flirted with
the hard luck daughter of Dame For-
tune. There, after one of the most
So much pleased was Mr. Orr with
the results says J. B. R. Dickey, ex-
tension agronomist of The Pennsylva-
nia State College, that he treated the
remainder of the field in a similar
manner early this spring. By keep-
ing the livestock off until it is well
started he should have a pasture hard
to excel.
About two hundred tons of lime-
stone were used in Indiana county
last spring for similar pasture im-
provement demonstrations. Wher-
ever given a good chance the results
are satisfactory and the farmers are
pleased. Where the treatment was
applied and the seed not harrowed in
early in the spring, the catch of clo-
ver is generally poor, and it may take
years for the effect to show. This is
especially true where the poverty
grass is very thick and heavy. In
such cases plowing may be necessary,
but where the sod is thin and where
the harrowing is done early and thor-
oughly harrowing is preferable to
plowing.

thrilling races of the sport, he was even | 000
accalaimed victor until the following
day, when the expert timers and scor-
ers, of the A. A. A. contest board
gave Tommy Milton first place and
Earl again second. :
Twice holder of the coveted nation-
al championship erown, posthumously
won by gallant Jimmy Murphy last
season, Cooper is regarded one of the
most dangerous contenders this year
for the supreme honor. “It is known
that his special built eight cylinder
racer will be equipped with a super-
charger when he arrives at Altoona
for the fastest classic of the season.
As a master of diatetics, Earl took
his place in the limelight last season
when his friendly enemies, the other
great drivers of the world, discovered
he had consulted leading specialists of
the country, uncoyering spinach as the
food that would overcome the most
dreaded sickness of the pilots, nervous
indigestion. Thi§ ailment, similar to
sea sickness, attacks many of the
knights of the roaring boards because
of the intensive wvibration and drum-
ming of the thundering cars on the
courses.

Lime and Phosphate Improve Thin
Pasture. :
Pasture, too, can be improved. Ex-
periences in other parts of the State
find duplication in Centre county.
Last spring George Orr, of Marion
Center, Indiana county, co-operated
with the Indiana county farm bureau
in a pasture improvement demonstra-
tion. One ton of limestone and 300
pounds of acid phosphate were har-
rowed. in on an acre of thin hillside
pasture. A mixture of grass and
clover seed was then sown. A favor-
able season assisted in replacing a
poor mossy sod with a beautiful green
stand of clover and grass which will
furnish more and better pasture.
