FOOTBALL AT
CAPITAL CITY
Many Games Have Been Arranged for
the Coming Season, Which Opens
On October 4.

! JACKSON, Miss, September g.
Although Jackson lost out the past
summer so far as professional baseball
| is concerned, it is assured of a good
| football team for the fall. A team
has been organized by the young men
of the city, and schedule has been
arranged with the different college
teams of the state for a number of
games to be played in this city, the
season to open on October a. Willie
White has been selected as its cap-
tain, John Shields coach, and it is
more than probable that Gerard Har.
ris will undertake the management.
The schedule as arranged provides
for all games to be played in this city
on the grounds behind the old state
capitol, the first to be between the
local team and Mississippi College,
October 4; second with Chamberlain
Hunt on October 8; third with South
Mississippi College October 30. 1t is
probable that a game may be arranged
with Millsaps for October 20, though
this is not yet certainty.
Last year Jackson had one of the
swiftest punches of the state, and this
season it will be even better. Some
interesting contests are promised

PROXY FARMING.

One OF the greatest curses OF present
day American agriculture is the all too
prevalent system of proxy farming or
absentee landlordism. Go into any Sec
ton one will and the most rundown
places are almost without exception
those owned by men who live In town
and have turned the virtual manage
ment OF the farm over to cash or
share renter, who in all too many
cases, being on a short lease, thinks he
does best for himself by skinning the
land to the limit Very likely the own
er came Into possession OF the property
when land was got for n song or in
herited 1t from some thrifty parent,
and II Is natural enough IL he receives
n fair interest return on what he con-
siders Is invested that he should not
be as alert along the line OF seeing that
Its fertility is kept In repair as he
oughuto be. Best results are obtained
In the farm management when the
owner works 1t himself IL he has any
business head at all. Next best Is the
leasing OF the farm to careful man
on long time lease. so that both ten
ant and landlord may share Jointly In
the benefit which may accrue from
stock feeding. clover growing and dali
rytng operations.

CHEAP pI ow,Nc

A north Iowa gasoline engine manu-.
factory, the largest OF its kind In the
world, some little time ago established
mn experimental farm on which during
the season closing all OF the blowing,
disking and seeding operations have
been done with traction engines. In
the matter OF comparative crop yields
the figures have not been fully worked
out but in the blowing operations 1t
was found that the cost in labor. oil.
etc, OF blowing an acre was 80 cents
While the large areas on which steam
or gasoline tractors would give most
effective and economical results are in
way incompatible with the wide
spread tendency toward a division OF
these large areas and the following OF
more intensive type OF tillage, the
fact remains that there are stu a
good many sections where the small
tractor might be used with decided
advantage as substitute for horses
in blowing and other farming opera
lions. A feature Of the above machine
blowing that ought 70 be mentioned is
that 1t was done at a depth OF from
seven 70 eight inches, which Is nearly
twice the depth OF ordinary horse
blowing.

BETTER TILLAoe DID 1T.


What can be accomplished by the
mere fact OF n thorough cultivation OF
the soil has been brought to the writ.
ers attention very forcibly during the
past few weeks. A fifty or sixty acre
held belonging to farm which has
been share rented for the past twenty
years and hence gradually robbed OF
Its fertility-for II has not been manur-
ed or replenished with clover-was
given n deep blowing and this year
planted to corn. Prior to this year the
field had been sort OF an agricultural
byword, little being expected of It and
ms little being realized from It. This
season, however, different tactics were
followed. Tho field was put In good
filth as a seed bed, good seed planted
and a good stand OF corn secured.
During the growing season It was cul-
tvated thoroughly i've times. The
result was an eye opener. Not only
did this handling result In n good
growth OF stalks which were well ear
ed, but 30 mellow was the surface
kept that the crop wns able to with
stand protracted dry weather I'm much
better shape than richer and heavier
land which was not so well titled, not
wtthstanding It had coarse gravel
subsoil. A lot of farmers who have
driven past this field have been won
dering what magic was used on It, 1t
was just a matter of cultivation of the
soil which unlocked Its possibilities, in
spite OF the fact that its fertility was
badly depleted. The same cultivation,
coupled with manure and clover, would
accomplish even better results These
three things ought to be tried on thou
sands OF farms through the cotton,
corn and small grain belts.

A plain spoken friend OF the writer,
In referring to the practice OF those on
a rural party telephone line I'm taking
down their receivers and listening to
conversations when their neighbors'
ring sounded, dubbed It as "harkin' on
the line" Not infrequently a telephone
patron will not hear n call distinctly
and win thus unwittingly overhear
conversation that does not concern
him. There Is excuse for this. but
mighty little for the practice which
prevails in some sections where from
two to half a dozen receivers are taken
down every time a ring is given for
some other patron on the line Those
who have got the habit OF "harkin' on
the line" probably have given the prac-
tice little scrutiny, but In the last anal
ysis It is akin to siding up to two peO-
pie engaged IN private conversation
on the street for the purpose OF over
hearing what they may have to say OF
secreting oneself behind door or IN
der n window to hear conversations
not concerning him IN the least. 1t
makes matters no better that the of
fender cannot be detected, but rather
the more disgusting and small Where
It develops into a habit It - an abject
admission OF insuffciency and poverty
OF both character and experience as
well as prlma facie evidence of NOR
bid curiosity and poor breeding.

A bunch OF lambs viii find abundant
feed in the average cornheld from the
time the corn dents until December.
One who has tried this plan states
that the lambs will clean up the grass
and weeds first and. while they will
later browse some on the leaves OF the
corn, rarely disturb the ears or break
down the stalks. Not only Is such for
age a waste that would count for moth
Ing, but the deyouring OF It and the
