Economics. Insoluble though it seems, the economic aspect of the farm problem is simple. The only large variable involved is weather. If weather is good, so are crops. Too-big crops make too-small prices. If weather is bad, prices are good but many a farmer will have no crop to sell. Intelligent study of sound weather data will help stabilize his decision as to when to plant but the farmer still needs a gambler's instinct at planting time. And thereafter his fortune is in the lap of winds, rains, frosts...
...Governor Smith's position as a potential nominee seems to be still somewhat clouded, and if cannot bue be regretted that the Wet issue seems to be still dangerously entangled with religious prejudice. This aspect of the problem, always in the foreground, but heretofore rather problematical in its significance, has recently taken a more definite shape, and where anti-Catholic prejudice seemed to have been some what alloyed, it is now logical to expect that this factor will again come into prominence.

Geology 5 deals with the historical aspect of the subject. It does not lend itself to as interesting lectures as does Geology 4. Professor Mather's lively nature, however, makes even an account of the Devonian Age less musty than it might else be. The laboratory work is eminently uninspiring. The section men, on the whole with Professor Mather's teaching ability and personal magnetism, make little or no attempt to raise the study of topographical maps from a boring task...
