The water here has tasted bitter

breathed the purest air [ ever

Now about the soil. 1t is as

from three to six feet. | saw
nice wheat growing, and alfalfa,
of course. There was nothing

saw some nice gardens. The
season there is almost month
later than here; they were only
planting their Indian corn, Katfir
corn and milo maize. We saw
nice stuff that was raised last
year, and the farmers report
themselves in very prosperous
condition.
1t occurs to me if there is a
place on earth that a lazy man
could farm it would be there, be-
cause, if he is a little farmer, he
would have nothing to do but to
hitch up four horses and get on
his plow and drive his team until
they reach the corner. Then
turn them around and 90 to the
next corner, turning about four
feet at round, and drop his In
dian corn, Kaffir corn or maize
about every round, and if it is
sod land it will come up and make
good corn without any more cul-
tivation. If he is a big farmer
he can plow with steam plow
and turn thirty feet at a round;
then he would be going some"

we raise except tobacco, and
more. Gardens grow to perfec-
ton, and all kinds of melons.
1t was said by the cattlemen
in days gone by, that the country
could not be made a farming
country, because it never rained
there; but that has been proven
untrue. 1t does rain there, and
rain hard. They said it had not
rained in Hartley for three weeks
and when we were there the
ground seemed dry on top, but
could scratch down two inches
and get plenty of moisture, and
you could dig down six inches
and gather up dirt and squeeze
it in your hand and it would
stick together, showing that it
was not necessary for it to rain
as much there as here, because
here more than half the water
that falls on the ground runs of
into some gully, then into d
branch, thence into a creek, etc.
Out there the ground is level and
all the water that falls must soak
in the ground nearby.
Some might say. Well, you
are away out on the Plains with
out timber to make fences OF
build houses. Cedar posts are
worth from 10 to 20 cents each
and wire is worth the same as
here; 80 you are right on the
fence question. You can have ;

BOOKMAKING WILL
 BE PERMITTED
LEGAL CLASH MAY BE PRECiPl- HATED BETWEEN KENTUCKY RAGING PEOPLE AND STATE AU- THoRITlEs AT LAToNIA.

Cincinnati, October 15-Boollmaking will be permitted in defiance of the orders of the Kentucky racing commission at the fall meeting of the Latonia Jockey club, which commences Monday, October 19, the directors of the Jockey club so decid- ing at meeting held here this afternoon.
 It is expected that this action will bring on a clash with the state racing com mission, which has repeatedly declared in favor of the pari-mutuel system of bet ting and yesterday refused the applica- ton of the Jockey club for permission to allow bookmaklng at Latonia. If the matters is taken to the courts not only the control of racing in Kentucky, but the future of the racing game in that state will be at stake. The racing con- mission is expected to apply for an in junction to restrain the Latonia directors from permitting bookmaking, land the Latonia officials will probably meet the attack fighting in the courts the valid ity and constitutionality of the law ere ating the racing commission
 The directors stated that the pari-mutuel machines were tried at Latonia at the spring meeting and the club lost con sidera ble money. They were of the opn> ion that the fall meeting would also be unprofitable and that their only hope for a successful meeting would be in the reinstatement of the bookmakers.

FOUR NEW BARONS
 COMING ON DRAFT

The Birmingham Baseball associa- ton yesterday put in drafts for the fol- lowing players:
 Eugene Moore. pitcher, South Bend Ind, Central league Edward Dickson, pitcher, Grand Rapids, Mich, Central league; Fred Lynch, shortstop, Feeding, Pa, Tri-State league; Pat Kane. catch CT. Binghampton, Tri-State league.
 These four men were seen in action last season by Manager Molesworth, and he thinks each will make good in the Southern. He is especially pleased with the two young pitchers, and states that they will develop into regular finds"
 It was Molesworth's intention to play Downey on second, but since the Chi cago Cubs have drafted him, it will be necessary to purchase a second and third baseman. But one catcher has been obtained, Molesworth believing that Raub will be willing to return south.
 Gyglie has been purchased to play first while McGilvary will fill the spot 10 be vacated by Carlos Smith who will manage Natchez in the Cotton States. Lew Walters has asked to be released, and it is probable that Lew has played his last season in Birmingham.
 All the other players have been re- tained, and will report in. the spring.

BASKETBALL LEAGUE IS
 FORMED FOR THE SOUTH

The South ern Basketball league was launched last night and the organiza tion completed by representatives of the Mobile Young Mems Christian as- sociation, the Montgomery Young Mems Christian association, the Nashville Athletic club. the Birmingham Athletic club and the Birmingham Young Mems Christian association.
 These five organizations compose tn e strongest teams of the south and the winner of the pennant will be the champion of the south. Opportunity was given all other teams to enter, but Der as much as possible.
 Twenty games will be played, each team playing each other team two games, one at home and the other abroad. Basketball has become so pop ular in the south that within a few seasons it is expected that the finish in the basketball league will be watched with nearly as much interest as the close of the baseball season.
 At the conference held at the Athletic club were Julian Duffie of Mobile, B. I. susong of Montgomery, Ewing Shute of the Birmingham Athletic club, H. R. Gasnell of the Nashville Athletic club, and J. T. Bostick of the Birmingham Young Mems Christian association. Hill Ferguson of the Athletic club lent valua ble assistance.
 Bylaws were adopted, providing for a board of governors, one member to represent each team to be elected an nually. William R. Fry of Montgom- cry was elected president of the league. The following sch edule was adopted

SATURDAY BRINGS FIRST BIC CONTEST Alabama Meets Cincinnati In
 Football SCrimmage MUCH INTEREST AROUSED Can Pohard's Weltcoached Though Light Aggregation Defeat the
 Heavy Visitors From the
 North at Fair Grounds?
MUCH INTEREST AROUSED

As the final victory of the Chicago Cubs over the Detroit Tigers placed d quietus on the baseball season, and as the eyes of the sport loyins portion of the population is turned towards the gridiron. it is fortunate that one of the most interesting football games to be played in the south Saturday afternoon will occur in Birmingham.
 The University of Alabama meets the University of Cincinnati the game to begin at 9 clock at the fair grounds
 The game will be interesting for several special reasons. It will be the first time that Cincinnati has appeared in B.rmng- ham, and the first time northern col lege, in many years. has come as far south as Birmingham with its football team. IL will be interesting seeing Gin einnati in action, and noting the show that Alabama makes against the husky eleven from Ohio.
 The Alabama support is confident of doing well against Cincinnati, although hope of victory is not the brightest. Pol lard's team is always well coached one and it's movement is generally fast and graceful There is no team the action of which is more pleasing to the eye than Alabama's, and no team has greater variety of plays. As is known, Alabama is exceedingly light this year. but is fast and aggressive. It fights well. too, and a victory over the Crimson White will be one that costs dearly
 As stated on other occasions. little is known of Cincinnati. The men must be heavy, however for Cincinnati is large university, numbering many students 1t stands to reason. too. that 1t has a splen- did coach, and is well trained in the art of football. All in all. fine sermmage Is promised.
 The game between Alabama and Ciu- cinnati will be the first big game of the season as far as Birmingham is con cerned, and will draw well. The game will be the final chapter of the great State Fair that concludes Saturday night, and it is estimated that the final days attendance will be increased on account of the game.
 Alabama will arrive tonight Cincin- nati is expected on the 1920 o'clock a. nl. Alabama Great Southern, but the players will probably remain in their sleeper un- til 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
