THE INTERSCHOLASTICS
A large number of representative boys from the high and pre
paratory schools of the state will be in State College over the week
end to take part in the annual Inter-Scholastic Track meet tomorrow.
They will have a first hand opportunity of seeing the college and its
varied activities while with us and will be witnesses of the track meet
between Penn State and Colgate, which also occurs tomorrow on
New Beaver Field. it is from these boys and their comrades through
out the state that Penn State draws its new men and upon which the
college depends for its supply of raw material
_for the perpetuation
of the college traditions and high ideals. Many of these boys will
no doubt enter here as Freshmen this fall and will come under the
influence of our traditions and in turn will exert an influence of their
own. The example of college spirit and uprightness of character as
shown mpon the athletic field tomorrow will serve to demonstrate to
them the ideals of Penn State, and the plane_which we strive to
maintain here. They will have a chance to see what this institution
is like. They will view our buildings and explore our campus, and
lastly, but by far the most important, they will have a glimpse of the
student body. This last is what they. will, remember, and this will
largely decide the report of our institution which they will carry to
the four corners of the state._ The bearing and - attitude of the student
body will be the impression which will last the longest. In truth we
will be under the keen-eyed inspection of the observing youth of the
state tomorrow, and we want them to see Penn State in its best light,-
as the molder of the lives of her students
WANTED-A SONG WRITER
Some x weeks ago, the Department of Music announced a contest
open to all for a represedtaive Penn State song, either the words or
music alone or both, preferably the latter. The aim of the depart
ment was to stir up interest in college song writing and to obtain a
song of a serious and thoughtful nature that would contain the
spirit of Penn State and would breathe the atmosphere of the college.
It was realized that Perin State is in need of such n a - song which so
many other colleges and universities have, and by 'offering a prize
of one hundred dollars it was hoped to gain the desired end and obtain
the much needed song. The contest is open to-all students, faculty
members, or alumni. So far very little response has met the an
nouncement and the prize is still unawarded. As the contest closes
at Commencement time, there is only a short period left in which to
write a good song and those who intend to enter the contest should
submit their manuscript immediately. This need of more college
songs has been long felt and the complaint is •frequently made
that Penn State has too few good songs. This is true and we
hope that this contest with the hundred dollar prize awaiting the
successful entrant will produce the required manuscript. All manu
script and music should be sent to the Secretary of Song Contest,
care of the Department of Music.
CAMPUS SINGING
• Only slight support has been given by the college to the campus
singing movement which was launched Tuesday evening - by the De
partment of Music. At the first gathering on the Front Campus for
the purpose of a combined song fest, there were approximately
sixty people present. This movement deserves the active support
of every man and woman in State College, as everyone likes singing
and there is no better way of satisfying this desire than mass sing
ing. In this way, the fine technique of the solo singer is obviated
and all are free to join in with the combined group. Such services
as these, which will be held every Tuesday evening at seven o'clock
by the flag poles, have a great although unappreciated influence on
the college. They foster our democratic spirit and serve to unify
the student body. They also act to better acquaint the men with
each other and broaden us to a considerable extent. They also cre
ate a certain esprit de corps, as was demonstrated by the community
singing conducted during the war to raise the morale of the people.
These services can be made a big factor in our college life and if
supported will exert a big influence. -
THE LAWN Iran
The annual lawn fete which is being held by the Senior girls
this evening in front of the Woman's Building will no doubt be an
enjoyable affair if past experiences are any indications. The object
of the fete is a most worthy one, namely the increase of the woman's
loan fund and for this reason as well as on account of the enjoyable
time which is sure to be had, it should receive the support of every
one. The features of the affair including dancing, cards, and edibles
will provide ample entertainment and all who attend are sure of a
delightful time besides the knowledie that they are aiding a worthy
cause. - ,

Agriculture delivering the address of
%elem. President 7 M . Thomas
outlined, in part, the future plane of
the College In Its relation to the Com
onwealth County Agent F S. Buch
ee then discussed the cattle feeding
situation in Lancaster County. Among
the points brought out In Mr Bucher's
talk was that, seven years ago,. very
few cattle feeders In Lancaster - county
used silage while at the present time
apploximately seventy-fise per cent are
using the feed The results obtained
as recorded by records _ kept by the
county agent on some five thousand
head of cattle show that the site has
been of immense value to the feeders
in that county Last year when prac
tically all the cattle feeders lost money,
some LancasteC Lounty tamers man
aged to net a small profit by the in
telligent use of silage and cottonseed
meal Be also pointed out in his talk
that the feeders rho had used the
least cots in thou! fattening rations
laud lest the least money
Mr S H. Imboden, manager of the
Masonic Home farms at Elizabethtown
discussed the results of several years
uork on steer feeding HO also point
ed out the fact that the silo bas been
the tetlyatlon - of cattle feeders In his
section He showed that on thi farms
of which he was the manager, that
young cattle had been more profitable
than the older ones because the feed
s had to bid against the butchers In
the Lancastet yards on older , and
heavier steers.
The main speaker of the day was
Professor G King who discussed
the main problems confronting the
cattle feeders at present 'Mile Prof
essor King made no positive statement
as regards the future of the business,
he was rather optomistio.nnd predicted

come out on top after the smoke of
the present depressed conditions had
cleated assay. ~ P rofes.sor King also
took _up briefly the feeding trials at
the Purdue Msperiment , Station The
Purdue . results do' not coincide with
those of the Perm,State. Station, in that
over a period of - three years the Purdue
Station has gotten better - results with
a .full feed of corn in addition to the
silage, while the elimination of the
corn has given the best results at the
local Station „
