...Harvard canes, Hrvd No. 9072 and Hrvd No. 1192, included in the preceding analytical tests, for comparison with Cristalina, gave most satisfactory results. Hrvd No. 9072, a tenaciously rooted, drought-resistant variety, physically adapted for cultivation on the uplands, gave a cane yield of 56.2 arrobas per caballeria on a 1922 planting and a rate of 531 bags 96 degrees sugar per cab. Hrvd No.1192, on land similar to the Cristalina test, gave a cane yield of 53.990 arrobas, and a rate of 493 bags of sugar per caballeria...

He was born in Russia, and has been raised in sections of New York City where the tenets of communism sway the public mind and make the more spirited...
...only possible fault to be found with the entire issue is with one of Blackburn's sketches depicting an incident of Harvard Club life which is so like an illustration in a recent New Yorker as to seem almost plagiaristic. Detailed comparison will show that it is not too close for safety, but the impression it creates is somewhat unhappy...
