Is desirable and usually the custom to
select piece OF virgin soil for seed

inches by burning brushwood or sim

the growth OF the young tobacco

The Importance Of goal q in every

that every farmer should know that It

Light. chaffy seeds that are Tow in VI
tality give us plants that are weakIings
with slow growth. Various schemes
for separating the light from the heavy
tobacco seed have been suggested, but
the most thoroughly practical method
Is by means of n piece of apparatus In
troduced by the burean OF plant in
dustry and current of air which is
generated with the foot bellows: as
shown In the cut The air passes /
through the rubber tube. then through
the valve. which can be regulated to |
admit of the passage Of the desired 1
amount Of air to accomplish the best /
separation. The mir passes up through /
a piece Of half inch iron tube, thence /
through a larger glass tube and out at
the top, carrying with It the light
chaffy seed At the aGse OF the glass
tube. which Is about an inch In diam
eter and five or six feet long. is a me
talilc Joint which has a piece Of fine
wire gauze in 1t to prevent the seed
from falling Into the valve below
Using about an ounce Of seed for each
charge. only few minutes are re-
qulred TO separate a considerable
quantity.

MORAN ON NELSON'S TRAIL;
TALKS OF HIS FIGHTS HERE

~ WEN MORAN, the little English
fighter, who carved his name in the
American hall of fame by his vic
tory over frankie Neil and his draw with
Abe Attell, the Yankee featherweight
champion, set foot on Newark soil for the
first time yesterday, appearing In a three
round sparfing exhibition with his train
ing partner, ALT Wickes, at the Empire
Theatre. The Briton was given a rousing
reception, for in this country they give
credit where credit is due, and any for
eigner who can come over here and polish
off the American bantamweight champion
and Their stay the limit with Attell with
honors even, as he did, is deserving OF
credit.
The novelty of life behind the footlights
has already worn off in Moran's case, and
though his theatrical engagement is bring
ing him considerable loose change, the lao
from King Edwards country is eager TO
get back into the ring. He is at present
suffering from a touch of pleurisy ana
will rest next week, probably at Lake
wood. After that he will spar at Buftaio
and Toronto n then will get back to the
zeal fighting game.
Moran's next big fight will probably be
with Battling Nelson, that is. If the Dane
is willing to swap punches with the boy
who dropped Neil and others.
81 nave challenged Nelson, agreeing to
give away six pounds" said Moran, yes
terday. 81 will tip the beam at 122 pounds,
and he can weigh in at 12S. When we were
in Frisco Nelson made 1871 pounls. Just
about that time he left for Ogden to fight
Clifford, and he gave me no definite reply
as to a fight, but if he really means busi-
ness, / expect to receive word from him In
a day or two"
Asked If he considered Jim Jeffries's de-
cision fair in his fight with Attell, Moran
replied:
. 'Well, I was fresh at the finish, n all
the critics agreed that | was the aggressor
throughout the fight, but l believe jeff was
on the level. He decided as he thought was
right. It's a hard matter to take the
championship from a man on points, espe-
cially when the fight is a close one
Ibid Attell seem to stall for another
bout? Well. not that you could notice it.
In the first place the championship was

at stake, and then to win would have
meant a difference Of 20 per cent. OF the
5000 purse to him, besides all the side
bets he had up. l believe that Abe was
glad to get u draw. for after the fourth
round there wasn't a runner in England ,
could beat his long-distance running rec
ord. He elbowed me in the clinches, bit
my nose and resorted to other foul tactics
in his efforts TO stop me.
HE doesn't seem eager for another
match, either. 1 am ready to meet him at
any time. weighing 122 pounds four hours
before the fight. He insists on 10 pounds
rlngside, and l can't well make the weight
and be strong. In other fights he has gone
against men weighing over 1870 pounds
This is Moran's second visit TO this coun-
try, and no one can justly deny him the
reputation he has gained. He has lost
only one fight in his career, losing the de-
cision to Joe Bowker, the former English
bantamweight champion, who defeated
Frankie Neil in England when the latter
was at his best. But Bowker would not
agree to meet Moran again, excepting IN
a four-round 60.
On the night of the Bowker-Neil fight
Owen, who was then only beginning to
mount the ladder of pugilistic fame, fought
George Dixon in one Of the preliminaries
After the second round the one-time
WORLDS featherweight champion was in a
helpless state. "Dixon begged me TO ease
up on him, for Mt that time George was
not the Dixon of old" said Moran. Il
pitied the poor fellow and let up, though
The act came near resulting In my being
disqualified. There were IA number OF
americans at the r%ingside, and they
grasped my hand after the fight, thank
ing me for sparing the old fellow.
Moran has a respect for all the Ameri-
can fighters. THE only way to beat
them, if you can beat them at all" he
said. lis TO meet them at their own game.
The English style of fighting would never
do. It's too stiff and awkward. l INTEND

SUTTON STILL
CHAM O
1872 GAME

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-George Sutton, OF
Chicago, retained his title to the 1872 balk
line billiard championship last night by de-
Ora Morningstar, Of this city, IN
the poorest-played championship game that
has ever been contested at this style of
billiards. Sutton scored his 500 points in CT
innings, giving him an average of 7 3-61.
Morningstar had 300 points when the cham
pion ran out. From me time OF starting the
until Referee Edward Mclaughlin
called tive and game for Mr.. Sutton"
three hours and forty minutes were con-
The game was played at the Lenox Ly-
eeum. The hall was so cold that the spec
tators shivered In their overcoats. The
balls were cold and dead to the touch of
the cue, and, as one prominent amateur
player remarked they might as well be
playing with cobblestones.'
After the game Sutton said to a friend
that he would never play another cham
pionship game. Hereafter he said, 81
will play for money. When you play for
the championship you seldom play under
the right conditions. They can have thu
championship so far as l am concerned"
During the first six innings neither playe.
showed any ability to play up to his pric
tise form. In the next seven Sutton showed
something or the execution to manipulat,
the balls that has made him master of tn,
game.
His line nursing and open-table pla,
were correct and delicate. He made hi
high run in the twelfth inning, when h,
clicked Off SO caroms, falling down on
difficult masse shot. 3
After the twenty-seventh inning, il
which Sutton ran rs, bringing his total NJ
to 2SS, the game degenerated into a farce
The hall became so cold that the BALI
fairly froze. 1t was almost impossible fol
the player to make either a draw or fol
low shot! In the last 30 innings Suttor
averaged less than five. He missed count
Ing entirely in II innings.
1t was nearly midnight when the specta.
tors saw Sutton run out with two cas-,
shots at the lower end of the table. Tn,

NO YANKEES IN GRAND PR1x.

Secretary Butler, Of the Automobile Club
OF America, issued the general conditions
yesterday governing the Grand PriX race in
France, which will be held this season
under the auspices Of the Automobile Club
of France, at a date to be selected between
June 20 and July 5. The Automomile Club
OF America is the representative club in
this country, through which entries of
American cars must be made for the con-
test. Thus far no indication has been given
that an American car will compete in this
big foreign speed event, and as he entries
close February Is there is comparatively
little hope that this country will meet the
foreign racing machines in the French race.
