sr.1e AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY MET
IN ATHENS.
.,t nue Hundred Delegates We're ia
Attendance. Sensible Address
By President Hughes

Tho annual meeting of the state ag-
4 .;,.ltoral society was called to order
,tbons Wednesday morning at 10
,,ooL About one hundred delegates
we're in attendance
President Dudley Hughes addressed
the convention
II beginning he referred to the fact
hat it was fortunate the convention
a.sambled during the session of the
.nn,7nr schsols when the 500 teachers
t.om all sections of the state might be
snouoht In contact with the spirit of
the meeting
Be maid a feeling tribute to j. M.
,obley and G. S. R6undtree, who had
rassed away since the last session of
che society. He quoted the Manufac-
,nrers' Record as authority tor the
statement that the south from 1880 to
200 had an increase of farm products
NJ nearly 100 per cent. and declared
hot the south should make an effort
to retain a monopoly of the cotton
oror. of which Georgia was one of the
largest producers, while continuing on
harder scale intensified and diversi-
fed farming. He said:
~Plant breeding is certainly new
3epartuge, and an invasion witch, If
materialized by the crossing of the
sea island and long staple cotton, will
establish a cotton equal to the Egyp-
tian. for which cur mills spend mil
lions of dollars importing. They are
ACCOMPLISHING mach to overcome enc
mics to cotton, which are becoming
destructive in aE alarming degree.
"The Texas boil weevil is most
threatening in its destruction of the
greatest state Ct the union, The de-
partment as yet has not this pest under
control, but it is confidently expected
it will be overcome. There is much
alarm even in Georgia that it may at
any time appear in our felds. The
wilt disease is being overcome by the
development of a variety of cotton re-
:stant, discovered by the scientific re-
search of Uhedepartment."
He was of the opinion that Georgia,
owing to her soil capacity and man
hood, should take the leadership in
the increased manufacture of cotton,
for she is q region of unlimited re-
sources and equal to any on the globe.
He referred to the impetus being Civ
en- TO agricultural education and the
attention it is receiving from scien-
fists and statesmen. The appropriation

OF bereaus of plant industry, soils,

nent at Columbus, Ohio, of a graduate
school of agriculture with thirty-five
instructors and regetting that Georgia

steps of other states. He expressed

CALIFORNIA
WANTS
BUx

These are the days when the stew
ards of the California Jockey club find
matters which have been dragging from
the inception of the year pressing close
ly.
According to the gossip of the racing
ground, Jockey Buxton, who was sus-
pended there last year for rough-rid-
ing, will be given a new hearing and
at the final showdown the dropping
of the curtain will see Buxton the IA
vorite here, re-instated and again given
his license with the California Jockey
club. "Bux' has hopes of this, any
way, and has received limitations that
all will be fixed up for him.
He is without doubt as good jockey
as the west has produced in long
time, and several owners with large sta
bles. in Oakland want his services bad
ly. If re-instated the first call on BuN-
tons services will 90 to Burns & Wat
erhouse, the largest owners in the west.
Moon0y. who is best known to the
talent by his work on Poorlands. the
hurdler, is patron of Buxton's. Those
boys travel together always, room 20
gether and chum together. Mooney is
going to Oakland with Buxton. Before
they leave for California they will do
the Walla Walla meeting, which lasts
from October 10 to "a.
The entire grist of jockeys who were
here will go to Walla Walla with but
few exceptions. The following is the
way they stand on frsts, seconds and
Thirds.

Beau BrummeIl.

"Joe" Widener was at Morris Park
to see Caller perform in the steeple-
chase yesterday. Widener is the best
dressed and almost the most fastidious
habitue of the metropolitan race course
clubhouse. The young Philadelphian
millionaire appeared on the lawn in
cream colored silk waterproof coat yes
terday of the very latest swagger hang
1t is patterned after the style of the
German military garment, its founce
and insertions causing no end of n
futter among the few women and criti-
cal men as the wearer stood on lawn
chair exhorting Caller to win. Widen
er did not send dollar into the ring on
Caller, believing the horse to be adverse
to running over soft, mucly field.
Widener is undoubtedly the Beau
Brulnmel of the racing round.

OF KICKING
THERE IS
PLENTY

An important feature in football this
fall is the amount of kicking INDUCED
in under the new rules, to enable teams
to make the first down. There will be
more punting and long-distance drop
kicking than in any year in the history
of the game, unless the more conserva-
tive experts are mistaken.
The necessity of playing an open
game between the 25-yard lines will
work the deuce with teams that have
poor ends, unless equipped with one
or more good punters.
End runs will not be so easy this
year. The new rules, requiring at
least seven men on the line between
the 25-yard lines, forcs the offensive
side to resort to the four men back
OF the line of interference.
The fact that the quarter back may
sprint with the ball is a problem that
will require considerable study, but the
majority of students of the game do not
believe this will make much difference,
for, being compelled to go at least five
yards outside of tackle, he will be cx-
posed to tacklers before getting well un.
der way. 1t is not believed the rule will
result in much quarterback running.
Good punters will be valuable. Men
like Dewitt of Princeton and Sweeley,
Michigan's phenomenal punter of 1902
will make long gains for their teams
In the case of two evenly matched
teams, with the ball changing hands al
nearly every third down, the men who
boot the ball will be called upon often
to hoist the sphere into the enemy s
territory.
When one team is superior in team
work to its opponent, the latter will
have to resort TO punting between the
25-yard lines to advance the ball. Weak
running backs will find it almost impos-
sible to become effective until the ball
is past the checkerboard between %
yard lines, where mass plays become
effective.
Two distinct styles of play will be
witnessed this year. In the open, from
| the goals to the 25-yard lines the old
game will prevail and mass plays and
| trick plays will be seen.
Between the 25-yard lines fast, snap
| by work will be witnessed, where
speed, rather than weight, will prevai
in the gains. The game on the check
erboard will be open, and Walter Camp
and his confreres, who are sponsors
for the new rules, will have an oppor-
tunity to determine which style of
game is most popular before the season
is over.

RACING ON
EASTERN .
TRACKS

Water Boy, the crack eastern horse
will be put on the shelf for the balance
of the season, and it is feared the gal
liant steed may be unable to race TO,
some time to. come. Water Boy was
being worked out at Sheepshead Bay
but at the far turn the great horse
faltered in his stride, and upon exam
nation it was found that one of his
forelegs was injured. This accident dis
poses of all possibility of meeting be
tween Water Boy and McChesney.
j. o. Keene, the American trainer,
now in Russia, has leased the great
English stallion Galtee Moore for n
number of years. The horse is now the
property of the Russian government.

TALENT LANDS HEAv|Ly
ON LAST DAY OF
THE RACES !.

The racing meet at the Interstate
track is thing of the past. Whcn
Hilary galloped home winner in the
eighth race it closed the card.
And it was great day for the favor
ties all through, the only one not max
ing good being AVIATOR at to 5 in the
last event, Hilary winning out in Il
drive
The talent went for the favorites
mostly, but owing to the grouchy odds
offered by One to Four Mccarthy, he
succeeded in holding off loss by the
bunch who went against what he would
call long shot or about ? to /.
The touts certainly worked them
selves overtime, but they We're so thick
but few of them pinched off any easy

Nothing to Harness.

proved the pipest kind of a pipe. The
handsome lass took the pole at the
start and won both heats easily Mas.
ter Delmar seemed tied to the post for
on the start he gave lunge as if pull
ing up a post and broke badly and
after that was never in the race.
The gentlemen's road race was a holy
show. Hildebrand sent Almota away
from the others in such way that It
certainly was pity. Almota proved
far superior to all the others. except
ing Della, who gave EIildebrand's nag
trouble in the stretch. Almota took
both heats handily.
Deputy Sheriff Jim Hone entered m
animal called Babe. Inc crowd have
to thank him for furnishing such Il
! splendid example of the difference be-
tween buzzard head and a blooded
animal. Babe couldn't even lift her
feet with the others. Talk about rocks
tied to her shoes. Deputy Hone was
applauded.
The third event attracted the betting
public and Goldhnder at / to got con
siderable play Sullivan made a spen-
did ride, winning from Gladiator in a
driving finish. Gladiator spurted at
the head of the stretch, but it was
too late.
The hurdle race was about the most
! exciting event on the card. Poorlands,

He is the smallest player in the

THE CUSTOMS OF NORWAY.
Sunday Begins Saturday Night and
Is q Time For Pleasure.

One marked characteristic of the peo-
pie Of Norway is their intense and
artistic love of flowers. They .evef
heap them iii indiscriminate masses,
but the poorest peasant woman will
gather n few of the wild blossoms
which grow at her door and arrange
them in a glass at her window with
an exquisite taste and feeling which
are good 10 see. The custom obtains
with high and low, and flowers are
rs necessary to a Norwegian dinner ia
BILE as the food.
The religion Of the country is Luther
IN, but Sunday is not observed with
Puritan strictness, for the settlements
are small and far apart, so that the
hard-worked pastor must travel miles
from enc TO another, and even in sum-
mer service is only held once in three
weeks.
Sunday begins on Saturday night. so
that Sunday evening is a time for
pleasure, and wherever a squeaky md.
steal instrument can be found the peas
ants will dance together in the street.
The men dance together as we'll as
with the women, grasping each 9TH
ers shoulders and whirling round and
round like dizzy human tops.
A wedding is a festiyity for the e
pie for miles around. 1t is celebrated
at the nearest village church, and the
guests row in enormously long boats
across the ford. wearing gay colored
dresses. The bride and bridegroom
bring to the ceremony the silver spoons
which were presented to them when
they We're christened. These are then
linked together by a silver chain and
are hung up in the new home, to be an
heirloom for coming generations.
