Agricultural Experiment Station
The report of the Pennsylvania
Station for 1903-04 is just being dis
tributed, the printing of it having been
seriously delayed. The report contains a
full account of the work of the year.
As of special interest may be noted
the experiments upon the growth of
Sumatra tobacco under shade, which
are quite fully illustrated, the tests of
varieties of wheat, oats and potatoes,
the experiments upon the use of green
forage crops for dairy cows and those
upon the value of shelter for fattening
cattle. Interesting results were also
obtained m the spraying of grapes for
black rot. The report of the Director
calls special attention to the need of
increased funds for the Station work, a
need now partially supplied by the
action of the Legislature appropriating
$lO,OOO for two years for the mainten
ance of the Station.
The report will be sent free of
charge to residents of the State, as
far as the limited supply available
permits.
Under a law recently enacted by
the Legislature, Governor Pem y
packer has appointed Norman G.
Miller, ’O4, of Chambersburg, as
sistant State Zoologist. This is a
Miller Honored
great honor for Miller. Since he
graduated last spring he has been
connected with local Experimental
Station. He graduated from the
course of Agriculture.

The members of the Mining En

responded to toasts. Dr. Wads
worth’s talk, especially, proved in
teresting. Before the banquet broke
up the members of the society in
dulged in an impromptu stag dance.
Several members furnished music
for the occasion.

Ralph O. Roberts, a student and
prominent athlete at the University of
111., was recently killed in a railroad
wreck, and his administrator sued for
$lO,OOO damages. Judge Wright of
Champaign county, 111., dismissed the
case, however, on the grounds that no
one was dependant on Roberts for
support, and that, being a college stu
dent, he was really a scource of ex
pense to his parents. In short he
stated that a students life has no money
value.
