The Daly-Dempsey Contest.

The finish contest between Danny DAILY Of
this city and California Dempsey of Sacra-
mento takes place ct South Omaha one week
from next Friday night, June IL. The contest
is for nominal stake aud the entire gate re-
ceipts, ana will be a mill worth going to see.
Some seem to regard the fight as fixed af-
fair, inasmuch as Daily is featherweight
and Dempsey in the welter class, but when it
is taken into consideration that the articles
require the Californian TO get to l2S pounds
br under. with DAILY privileged to go in at
any standard, the inequality Is largely done
away with. However, without attempting
any further reasons for its being such, the
backers OF the two men ridicule the idea OF
q fake and are willing TO back their res pect-
i've principals for as much as any Of the
knowing ones see proper to stake. DAILY has
been idle for several months and is anxious
20 recuperate, even at the jeopardy Of his
reputation as a featherwciRht, and hau not
Dempsey agreed to get down to the weight

latter conditions. Both men are already

Restoration of the Kekiongas.


For the first time since 1883 Fort Wayne
and Toledo have base ball clubs IN the same
league Both cities were there In the North
western. which graduated Tony Mullane,
John Clarkson, Curt WEIGH, Hank O'Day
and number OF others who have become
stars In the big leagues.
1t has been urged that Fort Wayne was
outclassed in the point Of population by the
the other cities in the Western league, but IL
the attendance in the newly admitted city Is
anywhere near what Is promised, the step
taken by the league magnates will be demon
strated to be q wise one. Fort Wayne has
always been good ball town. Its inhab-
itants are enterprising ana liberal About
the only thing that can be successfully urged
against II, Is in politics. Three out OF i've
OF the Inhabitants Of Allen county are demo-
Gratis, but II they support their ball team in q
liberal manner, they will go long ways
ledo and Fort Wayne are the only cities on
the Maumee river that possess professional
ball clubs. There is therefore, bond OF
sympathy existing between US. We are
neighbors. Yea, more, we are brothers. In
honor OF the very fast semi-professional ball
club possessed by that city dozen years
ago, The Blade will name the new club the
the "Kekiongas." This is the Indian name
for the St. Mary's river which assists the
ST. Joe In forming the Maumee there, and 9
tribe Of Indians formerly dwelt upon its
savors somewhat of border romance, and
when Captain Alvord and his braves gel

serve the fair name aud fair fame OF For

leaves vary greatly in size, that the

which become nearly uniform in size.

am aware that many good
farmers believe that breaking the
roots of growing corn is ruination,
but that depends altogether upon the
conditions actually present.
"In a season like this-neither wet
nor dry-it pays we'll to keep the
soil between the rows and close to
the plants loose and mellow to the
depth of Eve or six inches until the
corn begins to shoot the tassel.
In a dry season corn shoots are
thick and strong when they leave the
stalk and they run deep and then
spread. To cut one under such con-
ditions is to cut off hundreds of
feeders. In the wet season the roots
are small and numerous and run so
near the surface that a heavy rain,
when the corn is caring, will expose
hundreds of them. Cutting off a
dozen or more Of these small roots
does no harm provided that the soil
is loosened and aersted in the oper-
alton. The expert farmer carefully
notes these conditions and cultivates
his corn accordingly. The average
farmer simply "plows corn" when
ever the weather permits.

One fault that most farmers have is
to pull their plants, which greatly
retards the first starting of them.
They should be taken up with a

will see happy results for their care.

The new tobacco grower is full OF
questions and he wants them
answered Immediately, if not sooner,
it is his right to ask questions that
will be of benefit to him in the
future. Questions pour in on us
(many without stamp and to all
such we say read the columns of the
FLoRIDIAN each week and there will
be found just what the grower wants
to know. The officers of the New
England Tobacco Association have
been swamped with questions and
have refused to answer any more.
Connecticut, in the first place, is not
the state to ask information about
tobacco growing in Florida. Get
home information, its the best every
time. Go to Gadsden county and on
the quiet interview the farmers and
you will be amply repaid for SC
doing.

will injure the genuine grower with
