Hartford, Dec. 10.—An effort is be- ing made by the Trinity college alum- ni athletic committee to get represen- tatives of several of the New England colleges together within the next few weeks for the purpose of discussing the formation of a football league. At present seven institutions are on the list, and it is possible that three more will be added. That a football league among the New England colleges would be an in- stitution of mutual advantages to all concerned, is the opinion of those in charge of the movement, although the committee realizes that it will be a hard proposition to form the league at the present time, on account of the Brickley case, which stirred up a hor- nets’ nest during the last football season. | Colonel W. E, A. Bulkeley, president ! of the Trinity graduate advisory board of athletics, expre: himself as be- ing in favor of the idea, but doubtful as to whether such a suggested league could be made practical at present. He believes that could Amherst, Wesley- an, Trinity, Tufts, Williams, Bowdoin and Brown meet on an equal basis and draw up a league with a definite championship in view, the rivalry would be intense between these insti- | tutions. He believes that particular- ly in the case of Trinity and Willlams ! the competition would be more than ordinarily keen, owing to the feeling which has been caused between the two colleges during the past season. Colonel Bulkeley said that the idea was not an entirely new one, a some- what similar league having been in existence in the late 80s. The league | at that time was composed of Trinity | Amherst, Dartmouth, Brown and the Massachusetts and Stevens of Technology. He said that at that time these teams were all of about ! equal strength and were not in the class with the stronger league of Col- umbia, Yale, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Harvard, in which Weslevan played. Amherst was at that time the big rival of Trinity and the competi- tion was intense. Wesleyan had a much more formidable eleven, and it was not for some years after that that Trinity could compete successfully | with the Middletown college Professor Joseph D. Flynn, faculty member of th board, is of the opin- fon that with the great difference in eligibility rules of these colleges they would not incline toward any mutual agreement in the present state of affairs. He believed that the friction between Trinity and Williams would do more than anything else toward preventing a possible agreement and that a league could not bz formed without uniform eligibility rules. He was of the belief that neither Wil- liams nor Trinity would be likely to make any advances toward the set- tlement of the recent controversy or the immediate resuming of athletic relations.

Hop- kins of the University of Illinois to- day sounded a note of warning as to the need for permanent and scietific so0il enrichment throughout the agri- cultural lands of the United States—in the west as well as the east. He strongly urged cooperation to this end on the part of city people- Dr. Hopkins made his plea before the ninth annual convention of the Asso- ciation of Life Irsurance Presidents, which is considering various problems ivolved in loaning life insurance funds on farm mortgages. At present about six hundred and sixty million dollars of life insurance money is loaned on farms, principally in the south and west. “The most important and the most neglected factor in American agricul- ture is that of scil enrichment,” said Dr. Hopkins, “For three centuries the American farmer has drawn the sup- port of the nation from the fertility contained in our virgin soil; with widespread soil depletion as a result. When the land became too poor to raise a profitable crop by the ordinary means of soil stimulation, the Amer- ican farmer has, as a general rule, al- lowed the farm to go back to nature, and he hss either moved to newer lands or joined the increasing urban population. Causes of Deterioration- “The improvement of seed, the use of tile drainage, the invention and general adoption of labor-saving ma- chinery, the development of cheap and rapid means of transportation and the opening of the world’s markets to our farm products, have all combined to make possible and to encourage ra- pid deterioration of American soils. Crop rotation is good farm practice, but it makes possible more rapid soil depletion because of the larger crops produced where insect pests and plant diseases are avoided by such rotation. “The United States bureau of cen- sus reports that the aggregate area CO.

Pendants For the $1.00 Gem, Jr. Razor 79c, of improved farm land agriculturally abandoned from 1880 to 1910 was 9,809,834 acres in New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. If a state like Massachusetts should entircly stop farming, the fact would be made known and emphasized the country over and the world around, but, if another equal area of im- proved farm land is to be agricultur- ally abandoned, it could be so selected as to stop farming in eight states, in- cluding New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con- necticut, New Jersey, Delaware, and either Maine or Florida. In other words, the combined area of im- proved farm land found in these eight states in 1910 was less than 9,809,834 acres. Question of Food. “Already the question of food has begun to exert pressure in this coun- try. During the last census decade our population increased by twenty- cne per cent, the same in percentage but far greater in the absolute than during the preceding decade; but there were less than two per cent. in- crease in food cereals and no in- crease in food-producing animals. By five-year averages, centered on 1900 and 1910, respectively, our average annual exportations decreased from 215 million to 103 million bushels of wheat, from 162 million to only 48 million bushels of corn, and from 2,- 500 million to 1,500 million pounds of meat, in order that we might feed our increase of 16 million people. clared last season to have forfeited is restored the grounds will be taken off Mrs. Cameron’s hands and the games of the New Haven team be played at Savin Rock.
