New England has to it's credit since
1860 seventeen times as many sue
Icessful scientists as the South. This
is not due, though, to any lack of
original brain power in this section.
For many years after 1860 it was a
struggle for existence in the South
against adverse conditions. The
South saved and rehabilitated, the
men of force in this section turned
their attention to it's material devel-
opment, The means of scientific edu-
cation, here, too, have been limit
ed. The day is coming, though, when
the South will produce the leaders of
science, just as before the war it
turned out the leaders of public
thought in other lines Without dis
paraging New England, it can be safe
ly said that given similar conditions
the South would equal, if not exceed
the record of that section in science
or any other department it's men turn
ed their attention to-

By the use of cotton seed meal as a
cattle feed, it has been demonstrated
at these institutes by the various pro-
fessors of the State College of Agri-
culture that cattle raising and dairy
ing can be carried on to a great profit
in any county of Georgia. That their

by the increasing sales of cotton seed

THE FARM MOTOR.

washington POSt)
The motor pillow is to the field what
the automobile is to the road. 1t can
be operated by one hand, but two are
generally employed, and it pulls from
fourteen to eighteen big moldboard
plOws across the field at a speed faster
than the best horse or mule team can
walk, breaking 40 acres a day for the
price of one gallon of gasoline per
acre and one gallon of Iubricating oil
for the entire work. This means 25
|cents for breaking an acre of ground,
that, with horses, would cost So an
acre.
But there is another side to it. Ex-
cept a farmer cultivates 900 acres he
cannot afford one of these monster ma
chimes, and thus will go, must go, the
farmer of small holdings, unless a
score or so of the latter should COM
bine to own one in common, and that
is undesirable for the reason that too
many cooks spoil the broth.
Ours is an age of wonders, and here
is an invention that enables two farm
hands to do the work of more than a
score of the farmhands of a score of
years ago. Yet farm products COM
mand more than twice the price in the
market they brought in 1896. Of course
these big machines are not for a brok-
en- country, made up of hills and hol-
lows. They are for the praries, but
smaller ones may be constructed for
the farmer of narrow acres.
Word comes from Sweden that a
man there has perfected the storage ell
ectric battery that Thomas A Edison
has been striving for for years and if
he has, the gasoline motor for field
and road must give place to the cleo
trio. That again will be a triumph of
cheapness, and we may expect an acre
of corn land to be plowed for 10 cents.
But blowing and cultivating are not all
the work on the farm that this ma
chin can do. 1t is promised that by
its agency cows will be MIXED, crops
harvested and garnered, hay cured
and what not.
But what of it, if the cost of living
is not to be reduced?

If you want to know what the al

case of the doctors Here they are
urging the public to put the fly and

DOBIE MAY QUIT

Seattle. Wash, Nov. 17.-Coach en-
mour Dobie Of the University Of wash

the former University of Minnesota
sridiron star will shake the dust of
the University Of Washington campus
from his shoes when his contract with
them terminates Dec. /.
Lack Of appreciation Of his efforts in
giving Washington a championship
team, is the main factor in his disgust
with the college. After giving the
University Of Washington in 1908 its
first championship football team In
many years, he was reelected coach
Tor 1909 by the narrow margin Of one
vote. Unpleasant things have cropped
up from time to time, and Dobie says
he Is through with washington after
this season.
Dobie coached the washington team
in 1908 that won the championship of
the northwest and his eleven this year
has only to defeat the University Of
Oregon. which 1t should easily, TO win
it again.

FORWARD PASS
VERY POPULAR

Keen observers OF things footballs
tic are wont to wonder at times over
the comparative exclusion of the on
side Kick in the average teams roper
tory of plays to a favoring disputing
the fact that the latter play is far
more popular. The development OF the
long leave may well be said to have
been rapid, but the same does not
hold good for the onside kick. When
the big gain that a successful quick
boot will yield is considered, the APP
parent reluctance of coaches in general
to employ this weapon of attack is sur
prising at first thought. However there
Is another side to the story.
To employ the onside kick with any
degree Of success, a team must be
blessed with an annually accurate
place booter. A man who cannot drop
the leather any place within ten-yard
area viii not do; he must be able to
punt ball so, that 1T will land within
reasonable distance of q certain point
Haphazard kicking will not do. II a
coach finds himself equipped with a
toe artist Of such ability, he very wise
~ starts to make the onside kick a
prominent feature Of his offense.
IT, on me other hand, no skilled
place booter is obtainaLle, stress is
laid on the development of the sor-
ward pass.
In nine cases out Of ten this latter
plan of campaign has to be followed.
1t is for this reason and no other that
the onside kick has fallen by the way
side, so to speak. while the other phase
of new footbalP'---the forward pass
has prospered.
At the present time there are two
prominent elevens who work the on
side kick with any degree of accuracy,
namely, Princeton and Fordham. T1ore-
over, when 1t Is realized that ends, fast
and shifty on their feet and skilled
handlers of the ball are absolute
necessities in working the play, its
stunted growth is all the more under
standab1e.
1t certainly looks as though the
"Jungleton" coaches seized upon the
onside kick as their own, almost inn
mediately after its being made a part
of the sport by the work of the code
revisioners during the winter Of the
latter year considerable time was
expended on the development of the
play. With a place booter like Eddie
Harlan to count on, the Princeton
coaches believed they could make a
success of the play. Favorable pro-
gress was made during the frantically
raving about the inability Of their
