MICHIGAN BOY
ATHLETIC STAR
L. C. HULL, ORCHARD LAKE, WINS
TWO RACES IN OXFORD
CAMBRIDGE CONTESTS.

LONDON, March 19.-The Oxford
Cambridge field sports at Queens club
today were won by the former univer-
sity. six events TO four. The hundred
yard dash was won by l.. c. Hull, of
Michigan. a Rhodes scholar. The time
was 10 20 seconds.
Hull also won the quarter mile run.
His time Was so 3-5 seconds. 1t had
been expected that G. Z. Putnam, a
Rhodes scholar from Kansas, would
win the hammer throw for Oxford, bus
he had to be content with second
place. Watson, OF Cambridge, beat all
Varsity records with throw OF las
feet 10 inches. Putnam was second
with l43 feet ten inches and d. G.
Herring. Rhodes scholar from
Princeton, was third with 1872 feet.

BR|CKYARO KID
HAD THE PUNCH

One OF those very wicked private
fights which always draw q crowd OF
sports who like the sensation Of think
ing that they are Just lodging the
law, was pulled of at road house
out Gratiot-ave., Thursday evening.
Ii might have been q very brutal con-
test but for the fact that one con
t"siant was lacking In knowledge OF
ring science and the other had little
steam.
AL Evans. the Brickyard Kid" was
given as the title OF the chap who
finally won in the fourteenth round.
The loser had a name thst sounded
like the train caller running on the
stops OF the east-bound accommoda-
ton train. except that II ended In
ski" A well.known baseball man
confegses that he was referee.
One fighter was 3ecomingly clad In
chopped-off overalls, while the other
had q swimming suit. The bout pro
copGed without any interruption ex-
cept that occasionally one Of the an
cient gloves burst rotted string and
had to be replaced. About rs men
were in attendance.

Lever Sold Prospects in
poSt.5.6on 5db Cheap

II Pittsburg had won the last game
from Chicago last year, the game that
would have given them the pennant,
Sam Lever would have been the sad
dest ball player In the world. For
Sam had sold his interest In the
worlds series money FOR cents to
Tommy Leach. Lefty Leifield and Glib
son. The Pirates. six weeks before
the season was over, looked to have
only fighting chance for the pen
nant. and the players began to joke
among themselves about what they
would do with their share OF the
worlds series receipts. Some one
asked Eeever what he would take for
mis- share, and he offered to sell for
$500. Two weeks later Pfttsburg had
slumped and New York was racing
away al terrific gait, and Sam offer
ed TO sell fer $3.50. As the Pittsburg
chances grew less and less. Sam re-
duced his offer until II stood at $25
On the day that New York beat
Pittsburg twice In the same afternoon.
Sam came back to the motel sore and
disgrunted. 'What'll you take for your
share now" asked Leifeld. III sell
for cents" said Sam. The other
players promptly produced cents.
made Sam sign the paper and became
owners of his interest in the series.
Then the Cubs started. and suddenly
the entire aspect OF the race changed.
Pittsburg. after mauling st. Louis all
over the lot. came to Chicago to play
the last game-and even rain would
have given them the pennant. while
victory meant the coveted prize.
Lever wanted to win-but the way
the other players went at him about
selling his interest In the series made
him almost hope for defeat.
On the train the night before the
fateful day Lever was lonely. and the
other three. after enjoying themselves
to the full extent, made him an OFFER.
He manufacturers shells for shotguna
and Leach. Gibby and Leifield In.
formed him that II he would give
them $50 shells each. win or lose. they
would return to him his share OF the
series. Lever leaped at the chance,
so the others had the satisfaction OF
using free ammunition on their fall
hunting trip. even II they did fail TO
land the pennant.

The enterprise-recorder. (Madison, Fla.) 1908-1933, 1909-02-04

Comparison of our yields of stapl0
crops with results obtained in other
counties OF the State growing lie
same crops, will at once conyi' ce
anyone that there is q cause fol.
such great differences
Take for example cotton proiuo
tion. Madison county shows at the
bottom Of the State list. The aver
age number Of acres TO produce 400
pound hale Of Sea Island cotton in
Suwannee county is 80 in Aiachua
county, 3; in Brooks and Lowndes
counties, Georgia, u to p, whilr
in Madison county it is 8 to 81 acres.
In the production Of Upland cotton.
Georgia and South Carol ma have.
through improved methods Of cult
vation and intelligent application Of
fertilizers, increased their yields to l
TO bales per acre on lands which
formerly produced from / to J bale
per acre. They have also increased
the yield ot corn 800 to 500 per
cent. Think what such improve
ments would mean to Madison coun
ty. It would mean a dou ling or
tripling Of the value Of her products
without requiring any greater num-
her of farm laborefs than are here at
p esent.
While we have no legal agricultu-
raj schools, we have in our local to
bacco industry a practical demonstra
tion of results from high cultivation, &,
and most of US might not have dis
covered the influence it is having on
better fertilization and cultivation Of
their crops, but it has suggested to
some of our farmers to seek inform
alton applicable to staple crops other
than tobacco.
Now, what is the causei 1t is the
tenant system and lack Of knowledge
Of agriculture. True, there are few
good farmers among the. tenants but
large percentage Of the tenant far
mers are, with few exceptions thrift
less. They simply aim TO make a
living and have little or no coucep-
tiun Of the necessity nf building up

having taken up che idea that farm
ing was not a high class vocation,
The mistake Of which they Lave
since realized.
This great migration TO the cities
has contributed 10 the congestion
which Ihe National Government has
been called on to relieve, and in az
rculture, which they propose to
elevate to a higher standard, the
only solution can be found. there
fore, modern methnds should again
make agriculture the most Attractive
and prosperous industry for, our
yOung men.
In this great movement what is
the situation in our county? Are
we taking a stand in favor Of educa-
ted white farmers and establishing
agricultural colleges; Are we max
ing the most of our agricultural
advantages? H. regret to say, not
entirely. Why Lot? We have as
good lands naturally as any Of the
counties adjoining US on the North
or East, but a comparison OF the
values of products shows that we
are not keeping pace with the adj
vancement.
The products Of Suwsnnee County,
which has a population Of is, oil,
half OF which is located in the towns
was in 1905, S2,144,l70.OO, while
Madison County, with a population
of l6, 1852, Of which larger proEor-
tion are in tie rural districts, the
value Of the products was in 1905,
81. .349 100000
As compared with an equal farm
ing population, our neighbor, Brooks
County. Georgia, shows valuation
of products to 4 times as great as
ours.

the lpuds. Many OF them DO not
produce hale Of cotton on acres
eV N in favorable seasons.
What is the remedy? In my jude
lnent it lies in requiring that all land
cultivated shall be Thoroughly pre-
pared for planting, liberal and in
tclligeu t application Of high grade
fertilizers made at time OF planting
and proper cultivation given the
crops urier the erection Of an in.
tcliscnt oyer-eer who knows the im
proved methods.
A number OF our land Owners
could jointly eng ge1he services Of
such "a man. Tue average negro
tenant ard large percentage Of
small white farmers would, for the
first season, object TO tie eXpendi-
ture for fertilizers, but after being
convinced that the result shows
2reater yields on less acreage than
formerly planted and with less labor
aid profitable results, the greater
plumber will adopt the improved
methods and thereby better their
conditions.
Better houses should be provided
Tor tenants, the condition Of build
ings, in some instances being so
poor that labor has let the farm.
