Think 1t the Strongest Aggregation
in the Country.
Members of the Cleveland American
League ball team are OF the opinion
that the Bostons will have the best of
the argument when they play Pitts
burg.
Vice President Charles Somers says:
collins has a team that is, in my
opinion, the strongest in the country
Compared with Pittsburg it is stronger
behind the bat and in the box. In hit
ting ability the two are evenly match
ed, although here is a good basis to
work upon, as the pitchers In the
American League are so much superior
to those in the National. Both teams
have good outfielders, the Pittsburg
outfit being q trile the faster. Clarke
and Dougherty are two great players,
and so are Beaumont and Chick Stahl.
Freeman is better than Sebrina. There
is not a weak spot in either infield, I'M
less it is at third on the Pittsburg
team, where Leach is handicapped by
injuries. At any rate, Collins out
classes him"
Capt. Laioie says: That Boston ag-
gregation win have my money with 1t
when it plays Pittsburg. They talk
about the Pirates being fast, but just
wait until they go up against Lew
Criger There is the boy who will
stop them stealing bases. There never
was a team that had better pitchers
than Boston, and take 1t all in all, I
do not see where you will get a better
team"
Manager Armour says: Il am always
looking for a good betting proposition,
and when the Bostons meet the Pitts
burgs I shall get down all I can upon
the American Leaguers. There does not
look to be weak spot on the team. all

GALATIANS VS.. HUSSARS.

Movement on Foot to Revive Indoor
Rifle Contests.
An effort is being made to arrange
another indoor rife contest between the
Georgia Hussars and the Chatham Ar
tillery. AS the members of both Or
CARNATIONS are anxious to revive the
sport which was productive Of so much
interest last spring. there is little doubt
but that the effort will be successful.
1t will be remembered that in the
contest last year the competition was
held on the galleries of the two organ
izations alternately. 1t was very close,
three matches being necessary to de-
eide the contest. The Chathams were
victorious. The competition resulted in
melting a spirit of comradery which
the promoters of the present plan to
repeat the contests hope to further.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 19.-The race
between Little Rock and Memphis for
the Southern League pennant is close
and exciting and the result will not
be known until after the Memphians
meet Atlanta tomorrow.
Both Little Rock and Memphis won
their games to-day, leaving the former
in the lead by the narrowest of mar
gins. A victory for the locals to-mor-
row will secure the pennant while de-
feat will send the much coveted flag to

If one were to compare the flavor.
substance, appearance and general
good qualities of the vegetables sold
ten years ago with what are offered in
the markets to-day, the difference
would be striking, even to those who
know little of such matters. says the
Chicago Packer.
PROBABLY no more striking example
of the progress made in the time men

by the tomato. Here is an humble pro-
duct of the garden, beloved by all men
VINO have proper fondness for good
things that has been so changed and
improved of late as to hardly know it
self. And it is strange, yet true, that
the Improvement in the tomato has
been due largely to the discovery of
that popular ailment appendicitis.
When the surgeons first established
the TACT that appendicitis and c,llc were
not one and the same thing, and began
to operate for the relief and cure of
appendicitis there was much discus

general that 1t was due to the nres1

such as fruit and vegetable seeds, and
thereupon, the doom of the tomato wa .

FOR TEACHERS COLLEGE
Athens viii Make an EhOrt.-Uni-
versity News.

Athens, Ga, Feb. There will be
strong pull made to secure for Athens
the location of the proposed teachers
college that is to be erected by the trus-
tees of the Peabody fund at some place
in the South.
Chancellor Hill of the University of
Georgia says that the new college will
be located only in a university town,
and that the choice will probably be
between Athens, Ga, and Nashville,
Tenn.
Tennessee will make a strong effort
to secure it for Nashville, and if Ath-
ems gets it Georgia will have to make
the proper efforts. President Branson
is hopeful OF getting the new college
as part of the State Normal School.
Hon. Hoke Smith of Georgia is a MEM
Der of the committee that is to locate it.
The Athens Chamber of Commerce
has taken the matter up.
The University of Georgia and the
University of North Carolina will not
meet in joint debate this year. The
University of Georgia submitted the
question for debate, Resolved that
the report of the United States Indus
trial Commission should be adopted"
The University of North Carolina re-
piled, refusing to debate that subject
societies of the University of Georgia
declined to offer another subject, and
wrote back to the North Carolina boys,
declaring the debate off.
Six joint debates heve been held be-
tween representatives of these two col
leges, and each has won three VIC
tories.
Arrangements are now being made
for an impromptu debate the first Fri
day night in March between six repre-
sentatiVes of the Phi Kappa Literary
Society of the University of Georgia
and six representatives of the Demos
thenian Society. The judge of the de-
bate will announce the subject ten min
utes before the opening of the debate
A mass meeting of students was held
yesterday morning on the campus for
the purpose of arousing an interest in
the Pandora, the university annual
publication. Speeches were made by
several students, and a committee was
appointed to secure subscriptions to
the annual among the students of the
university.
The Demosthenian Society of the Uni
Versity has selected it's anniversary
orator, who is to deliver the Grafton

Doubtless some Of our readers have
been alike impressed as we have been
with the numerous accounts of big
hogs killed in Georgia during the past
month or two. 1t would appear that
every one who had brought a 800
pound hog to the block had deemed it
worthy of a report to the local newspa-
per-and in this they were not far
wrong, to be sure. 1t was interesting to
many no doubt. If we would, ii would
be instructive and helpful. OF course
Georgia can grow 500, 600, 700-pound
hogs about as easily as Pennsylvania,
Iowa or any other state. What so or
100 farmers can do every farmer in
Georgia can do, granting few eXcep-
lions of course. 1t is true many per-
haps the large majority of these large
hogs are what is known as "pen raised
hogs"-certainly not the most econom-
ical-nevertheless raised with n degree
of profit that justifieS the doing of it .
The cheapest pork cannot be raised
without good pasture, as rule, but il
does not follow that pen-raised hogs
need not have all the succulent food
that may be necessary for their full and
rapid advancement. 1t may involve
'0ore labor carrying green food to hogs
than letting them get it themselves in
the pasture. but ii is more than made
10 for in the long run.

sounded because of the many seeds
contained in it. There were large and
small and highly colored tomatoes in
the market, but all were full of seeds.
Here then, was a serious situation con-
fronting the big tomato growers, as
well as gardeners generally.
There were then and there are still
men who make a specially of tomato
growing and who originate all the new
varieties that are offered to the grow
ers. These did not despair, but said
if the public wouldn't eat a tomato
with seeds in it they'd grow tomato
without seeds. And they did. Not en-
tirely without seeds. to be sure, but
with so few seeds i'm them as to justify
the assertion of the originators that
they had produced a seedless tomato;
whereuDon the tomato was restored to
popular favor.
But that was not the only change
made in the tomato. Without the great
number of seeds they were found to be
far sweeter in flavor. This flavor was
retained while the size and solidity
were increased. until to-day there are
tomatoes running up to six inches in
diameter, from two to four pounds each
in weight. that are IS solid as a piece
Of meat, defy all sorts of weather, that
last from the first picking until the
as twenty tons have been taken from
single acre. The tomato specialists
are justly proud of their accomplish
ment.
But Improvement in other directions
has been just a S great and often with
out such good reason. Many garden
ers objected to the old way of growing
lima beans. They didn't want to go
to the expense of cutting poles and
sticking them in the ground for the
beans TO run M on. and it took the
beans long while TO mature. anyway;
so they turned out a bush lima bean,
which grows only two feet high, needs
no support. and on which the beans
mature quickly and in great quantities.
While they were at it they originated
new lot of string beans which were
ready for the market all of two weeks
earlier than the usual kinds, which
were really stringless and so tender
they snapped when not picked careful
ly. That was another big stride.

In answer to a question regarding
the use of bluestone powder the Home
stead says:
In the liquid spray, as generally
used, 100 gallons of water is required
to dilute one pound of copper sui
phate. The supplying of water and
hauling about of this quantity of ma
terial in the field involves considera-
BILE labor and some expense. The chief
merit claimed for the dust spray is
that the sopper sulphate or bluestone
may be applied in a dry powdered form
which avoids the expense of heavy
hauling, and the ground can be COW
cred much more rapidly. In fact, an
orchard can be sprayed in one-third of
the time required to spray with the
liquid In the larger types of dust
sprayers a large powder gun, con-
tanning two arms, is used. The dust
is expelled with a bellows or blower
somewhat similar to that of a black
smith. Three men are required, one
to drive and work the blower, and one
operator stands on each side to direct
the spray upon the trees. In this
way the inside half of two rows is
sprayed at one time and the work is
done as the team moves along at a
very slow walk. The spray is applied
about sunrise in the morning While the
atmosphere is quiet and the dew is still
on the leaves. A single application is
not as effective probably as the Ii
quid spray, though it is argued that
on account of its quickness of applica-
ton an orchard can be gone over a
number of times to compensate for
this.
The dust spray is rather a new form
of spray for the commercial orchard.
As used so far ii differs essentially
from the liquid in that lime instead
of water is used as a medium. There
are a number of problems connected
with it regarding which very little is
known as yet. For example, as to
whether the leaves are as likely to
burn when the copper sulphate is ap-
piled in the dry form or more so than
in the liquid. Some of the orchardists
who have used the dust spray for the
last year or two are very much pleased
with the results obtained and it no
doubt has features of merit and is
worthy of further investigation. At
the Missouri Experiment Station the
following results were obtained: One
plot of unsprayed apple trees yielded
65 per cent. of wormy fruit; a second
plot which was dust sprayed yielded
80 per cent. of wormy fruit, and a
third. which was liquid sprayed, about
10 per cent. This would indicate that
the dust spray has value. On the other
hand, il is not so effective as the IL
quid form, and one is scarcely war
ranted in making any positive state
ments regarding its value until the
subject 10 further Investigated

Feeding the Cotton Cron.

The time is fast approaching when
we shall have to decide what fertilizer
we shall use under our cotton the
coming season. In doing this, there is
always a great temptation to buy the
cheapest brand and to fool ourselves
into the belief, that 100 pounds of low
grade fertilizer will do just as much
good as 100 pounds of a high grade,
which would cost US more money.
Now, friends, there has been too
much guess work about this fertilizer
business and farmers have gone too
much by what the dealer told them,
seemingly under the impression that
these dealers knew more about their
business than they did themselves.
The fact of matter is, that very few
farmers really do know what kind of
a fertilizer they want, or which would
be likely to give the best results on
their land, for the crop they wish to
grow. To have clear idea about this
matter we must understand in the first
place, that when we purchase 100
pounds of guano, we buy it in order
TO obtain the few pounds of ammonia,
phospheric acid and potash, which it
contains. These three elements are
what makes our crops grow, and are
what we pay for, not the bulky ma
terial which contains them.
The amount of these elements in
guano is set forth in figures on each
sack of fertilizer thus:
Ammonia -. ..........2 to per cent.
Phosphoric acid ......8 to 10 per cent
Potash K 20 ...........2 to per cent
This analysis represents standard
fertilizer, usually scld for cot on. The
first line of igures really shows the
amount of plant food in the fertilizer
the other line is misleading and put
there to make you think they are CIV
ing you more than you get These tig
ures mean that there is contained in
100 pounds of fertilizer 2 pounds of
ammonia, eight pounds of phosphoric
acid, and two pounds of potash II
these figures are larger, they show
that the fertilizer contains more of
these elements, that it is a high r
grade, and worth more money, If they
are smaller, it is a low grade, and
Should be cheaper.
To estimate the commercial value of
fertilizer, We figure ammonia Rt l.
cents per pound phosphoric acid Vat
cents per POUND, and potash S cNnts
per pound. This would make Vhe
above fertilizer cost SIG per ton, wh&
is about what ii could be bought ~
by the car load for cash. This is ais "

there is an acre or two of really rich
land Immediately adjacent to the pig
pens or lots. Such land planted to
sorghum in the early spring and tur-
nips and clover or turnips and barley
in the fall would provide succulent food
enough with the aid of the usual small
ration of dry food, to convert many
25-pOund pigs into 500-pound hogs, and
all inside of twelve or fourteen months.
OF course the right sort of hogs must
be used for the purpose-either pure or
good crosses of Polands or Berkshires
or Jerseys. 1t cannot be done with
unadulterated native stock. Farmers,
realizing the practicability and impor-
lance of raising their own pork, even
If it is done mostly in pens, should re-
member that sorghum is the great pork
prOducer-that is of all crops requir-
ing annual planting. For summer and
fall pasturage it will be d long time
before we have anything better than
bermuda for hog-raising on a large
scale.
