A recent addition to the Depart ment of Agricultural Extension is Mr. W. R. Gorham, of the class of 1904. Mr. Gorham's work will be chiefly meeting the requests for farm examinations and advice. Recently, in company with Dean Watts and Professor McDowell, a large dairy proposition in Tioga county was inspected and sugges tions made for its improvements. The same men also visited the farms belonging to the Masonic home at Elizabethtown, Pa., and plans are being suggested for its operation. Chester county has organized a Farm bureau and Mr. Charles F. Preston, of the class of 1911, has been placed in the county, repre senting the college, as agricultural agent. An agricultural exhibit has been sent to fourteen fairs during the present season. This exhibit is housed in a large tent and during the fall will be seen by over 300 ; 000 people. 144 students have been admited to the two years' course in agricul ture. Admission was refused to many other students because of lack of facilities for instruction. T. Y. Chang 'l3, has been 'ap pointed by the State Department of China as second Vice Council at Yokohama, Japan. He left Wash ington, D. C. for his new station August 19. The initial meeting for the new college year of the Agricultural Society was held on Monday even ing, September 22. The atten dance was the largest in the history of the society. Remarks were make by members of the agricul tural faculty and refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. Student judging teams from The Pennsylvania State College will be represented at the International live stock show in Chicago, October 23 to November 6, at the Internation al dairy show in Chicago, Novem ber 29 to December 6; and at the meeting of the American Pomologi cal society to be held in Washing ton, D. C., November 17 to 22. Mr. R. S. Maddox, a graduate of Yale University and of the Yale Forest School, 1909, takes the place of Mr. J. B. Berry, resigned, as instructor in forestry. Mr. Mad dox has had four years of exper ience in the U. S. Forest Service on the Plumas National Forest in Cali fornia. This forest is one of the most important on the Pacific Coast from a lumber standpoint, Mr. Maddox has had charge of the timber sales on this forest and his experience on this line will be of great value to the department. Mr. Maddox is a member of the Society of American Foresters. Important Notice Coach Martin wants all varsity trackmen to report immediately for fall work also all candidates for cross country and the freshmen who have qualified in trials. The following schedule indicates the in creased activity that track work is undergoing: October 4—Trials for varsity October 11—Interclass meet (all four classes to compete. Varsity men eligible.) October 18—Cross county trials. October 25—Trials open to all candidates. With the setting in of cold weather track work will be contin ued in the basement of McAllister Hall which has been fitted un for that purpose. This work will con tinue throughout the winter. Continued interest in track will be furnished by an indoor track schedule which is now being pre pared. Inter-fraternity and inter class meets will also be held during the winter months. This fall finds the assistant man agers confronted with the old prob lem of keeping the spectators from crossing the track. A little fore thought on the part of the students will go further to prevent this evil than will all the trouble and annoy ance that the assistant manager has to undergo ordering the men to keep off. A Call for College Songs Cash prizes have been offered by President Sparks for new college songs. Three dollars will be given for the best song submitted and two dollars for the second best. The music may be original, or pop ular airs may be used with new words. Every effort should be made to have the songs snappy. All entries should be directed to Prof. Robinson and put in the fac ulty exchange or post-office. One of the features of a big foot ball game is the singing of the stu dents. Good singing attracts peo ple to the games and therefore swells the gate receipts. No col lege can cheer like Penn State but because of a lack of good songs Penn State has not a reputation for mass singing. Let everybody enter into this contest and surprise Penn on November 1. Remember, 1917, the best song last year was written by a freshman. Remarkable Glee Club in Prospect More candidates have turned out for the Glee Club this yeas than have reported to "Big Bill" for football. With more voices to be tried it seems likely that the club of fifty men will be selected from one hundred and twenty-five men. Prof. Robinson is very enthusiastic and has no hesitation in predicting that this club will be better than any former State club and as good as any in the land. • The new students have furnished a number of remarkable voices and it is possible that some veterans will have to be cast into the dis card. If practical, the club will lead the singing at football games. A rehearsal will be held Wednes day at the usual time and place. Dr. W. R. Crane, dean of the school of mines, visited Pittsburgh, September 22-24, as a delegate to the American Mine Safety Associa tion.
