Of the seed for fertilizer. The ratio
is approximately as follows: Forty
bushels OF seed equal 600 pounds of
cotton seed meal. or one bushel OF
seed equals Is pounds OF meal
Tests indicate that 900 pounds OF
meal equal a ton OF seed in effect on
the crop-that is. 3 pounds OF meal
equal 20 pounds OF seed. BY fgur-
ing on this basis and considering the
cost of seed and OF meal. one Is able
TO determine which is better for him
TO use. He should allow something
for the expense OF hauling seed away
from the farm and the meal to the
farm. IL the hauling Is done. For
the most part. acid phosphate and
potash will be got from other sources
than from cotton seed or cotton seed

Third bd5,mdn las Hardest
Diamond Job, Say God Figures
BY MYRON w. TOWNSEND.

Third base is the hardest po-
sition TO play.
According TO statistics, in
proportion TO the number of
chances the third baseman
makes more errors than any
player on the diamond.
Devling into the 1907 records
of the National, American,
American Association. Southern.
Western, Eastern and Pacific
Coast leagues discloses that out
OF every 100 chances to handle
the ball clearly the third base
man misses eight. the shortstop
seven, the second baseman Ave.
the catcher three and the first
basman two.
Official averages do not lie.
Because more errors are made at
third in proportion to the num-
Der OF chances TO make perfect
plays II stands to reason that
the far corner is the hardest
position to play.
The average second basemaD
is as good as the average third
baseman. yet summary OF the
class A and b leagues shows
that third sackers made 2.032
errors out OF 26.066 chances,
while second basemen made
only 1901 misplays In 40,131
chances.
