a machine known as a leaf col

When the canvas has a suffi
cient amount of leaves in it, a
workman pulls a lever and the
leaves are transformed into a
compact "cigarette" with the can
vas for its wrapper.
Each "cigarette" is dumped in
to a truck and taken to the Agron
omy department where various
experiments are performed.
To those who despair about re
moval of brightly colored leaves,
experts in the Agronomy depart
ment have proven that grass will
not grow correctly under a bed of
leaves when spring roils around.
