SCIENCE DEFEATS
 THE BOIL WEEVIL

Hermanville, Miss. November 14.-C. l.. Will, large planter near this place, has written Dr. S. A. Knapp at Washington, concerning the results obtained by ad- herring strictly to the government in- structions The following extracts are taken from the letter:
 '.In the boil weevil fight where the government instructions were followed out cotton crops have turned out re- markable for the season, but We still need your work and plenty of 1t, we have so many people yet who need the cataracts of prejudice removed from their eyes. Many seem determined to stick to their old methods of cultivating cot ton.
 For my benefit as well as that of my tenants and neighbors I worked two demonstration patches this year, both the same land in the same field, and the same amount of fertilizer per acre. I cultivated six acres under the instruc- tions of your G. H. Afford and obtained pounds. Four acres worked according to the old methods produced one bale weigh ing 445 pounds.
 w. A. Fife cultivated 12 acres accord ing to government instructions and ob- tained 3,75s pounds of lint. Two hundred acres on his plantation cultivated by old methods produced 15 bales
 ''C. McMurchy cultivated five acres by the government instruction and obtained 5,53o pounds of seed cotton. Twelve acres on his farm cultivated by the old meth- eds produced 935 pounds of lint.
 Many planters failed to carry out the government instructions. They were from Missouri and wanted to be shown. The results obtained by the planters who have carried out the governments in- structions this year prove conclusively that profitable crops of cotton can be grown in the worst infested boil weevil districts. The opposition to the govern ment's instructions has been put to flight. MT. Afford will be able to get the large majority of the farmers in this neighborhood to carry out the govern metns instructions next year.
 "The people who stand for progress and better things appreciate the great work that the United States department of agriculture is doing for the farmers of this section.'

DELEGATES ARE APPOINTED. Governor Brown Names Men To Go
 To Waterways Convention.

Atlanta, November 4-(Special. .)-Gov- ernor Brown has appointed 275 delegates from Georgia to attend the coming an- nual convention of the Chipola- Flint Chattahoochee -Apalachicola Waterway as- sociation, which will convene in Colum- bus on November 25.
 Governor Brown has been urgently in- vited to be present and deliver an ad- dress, and now has the matter under advisement. his decision depending on the state of business in the executive office as the time for the convention ap- breaches.
 This convention will bring together del- egates from three state-Georgia, Florida and Alabama-more particularly from the sections traversed by the rivers which figure in the name of the association, and the improvement of which for freight carrying purposes is it's ultimate object. The delegates from Georgia, for example, have practically all been named from that section of the state traversed by the Flint and Chattahoochee. rivers, and which is directly interested in their. sub- stantial improvement.
 Among matters into which the conven- tion will inquire are the amount and character of freight received and shipped by the communities which are, may be, served by these rivers; the amount of freight handled by boats on these rivers to and from the railroads; the rates paid on incoming and outgoing freight. both by rail and by steamers; the saving which would result to the people of the territory affected from the improvement of these rivers; the value of the improvement from the standpoint of a harbor refuge, and statistics rela- tive to resources and production in the territory in question.
 It is expected that the convention will be well attended and that it will set in motion the machinery for the ultimate attainment of valuable results.

VERY POOR SPORT
 FOR THE AYIATORS

Cincinnati, November 14-The closing day of the aviation meet at Latonia race track was a disappointment. The sum- mer-like weather brought out an immense crowd, but a strong wind which pre- vailed during the afternoon deterred the aviators from attempting any flights until almost dark. Finally when the thou sands who had stood for hours in expec- tation were about to dsperse, Knaben- shue and Beachey brought out their dirig ibles and made a couple of excellent flights around the track. Their frail ma- chimes beat their way into the wind in a manner that brought the spectators to their feet cheering, but the gathering dusk compelled them to descend after brief period.
 Willard and Curtiss also rose in their aeropanes, but only covered the race track stretch.
 Two of the three balloons which were to have started in a race to the coast met with accidents which compelled them to abandon the attempt. The third was not inflated until dark and 1t was decided to defer it's start until tomorrow.

Within recent years Alabama athletic teams have made two trips to Knoxville and in each a mob figured.
 Saturday afternoon. as told in The Age-Herald of Sunday morning, after the Alabama-Tennessee football game, crowd of infuriated fans followed Dr. Elgin of Nashville. who had umpired the game, to his hotel and en route one of them struck the official on the head with a rock.
 In the spring of 1903 the baseball team of Alabama visited Knoxville and there ran against one Umpire Crawley, who was charged with endeavoring to hand the games to Tennessee on a silver plat ter.
 The first game, after Tennessee had established and held a lead of one run up to the ninth inning, was won in the ninth inning by Alabama when, with one man on base, Bob Daniel, now of Ems ley. hit home run over left field fence.
 The second game, after Tennessee had established and held a lead of two runs up to the ninth inning, was won by Ala

SALARY LIMIT BOOSTED
 AND PLAYERS CUT DOWN
MT. Baugh Brings Back Interesting News-Says New Salary Limits Will Be Enforced To
 the Letter.

R. H. Baush, president of the local base ball association, has returned from Mem phis, where he attended the meetings of the Southern league and minor leagues association
 MT. Baugh states that Chattanooga has obtained an option on the Little Rock franchise, which option expires either De- cember l or b. The option, the exercise of which will cause the transferrence of the franchise from Little Rock to Chatta nooga, calls for an expenditure of money of only $12.5o0, which figure, in the esti- nation of everyone concerned, is low.
 If Chattanooga does not exercise this option its efforts to acquire a franchise will be considered not in good faith. If Chattanooga has no feathers on its legs 1t will now enter the Southern league.
 It Is believed that Chattanooga will be of more benefit to the league than Lit tie Rock. However Chattanooga should display a little more sportsmanlike spirit and act itself The impression has gone abroad that Chattanooga will not move without the assistance of the other cities of the league, which, it is generally un- derstood, will not be given.
 MT. Baugh brings the news, too, that the player limit has been reduced from b to IA men, and that the salary limit has been increased from $270o to $500 per month.
 And this limit will be enforced, too" stated MT. Baugh. we have pledged our word and will do so."
 With IA players. the 5000 limit is about equal to d sS200-the amount The Age Herald has striven for-with b players. And it is good, too, that the officials of the league have agreed to enforce this limit-to give their word and live up to it.
 The news which MT. Baugh brings is good news indeed.
