sprinter, he would dodge and worm MS
way through opposing lines for the nec.
essary distance. Proficient Win inc
stiff arm and tho use of the knees
in breaking tackles, he seldom falIed
to gain when called upon TO gam
ground. In the interference he e9uai'
" was valuable, being one OF those
football rarities who when he once hit
a tackler put that man out Of the play.
When interfering for player IN INC
open Coy never hesitated to leave bls
feet to bowl over a tackler when that
man was the only opponent between
Yale and a touchdown,
Coy undoubtedly was one OF the BEST
all-round kickers the game has ever
seen. To the ordinary spectator IN
the grandstand pants all look allke,
How few of them there are who VIII
give credit 10 kicker who places
the ball in such n manner that the
catchers have hard work in getting TO
il, Mt the same time allowing his OWN
ends plenty Of opportunities to get
down under the kick and prevent tne
catcher from running back the ball.
Against the wind Coy always drove the
bali low and hard, away from the
defensive backs, and when he had the
wind in his favor he never failed to
boot the oval high above the stands
where the air currents could help us
flight.
Work Remedies Only weakness.
Although never considered n field
goal kicker of great ability in his
early football days at Yale, Coy was
wise enough to know that such fac
ulty would help his playing .immeas'
urably. Consequently he would gel
out on the gridron before the call
nd
hours in an cndeavor TO perfect hlm-
self in this department. He never
cared much for the place kick, but
contented himself on mastering the
fine points, or the knack of drop'klck-
ing.
What this meant to Yale in later
days ia vindicated by football history
He was deadly in shooting for goals at
any distance under the hfty-vard mark,
and whenever his team was in doubt OF
making it's distance the reliable Coy
was called into service for either
try at the goal or to punt the oval
out of danger.
In onside kicking Coy was as good
as any Of them, and the manner in
which he manipulated this delicate
play, allowing the backs time 10 cover
the attempt. was one of the prettlest
plays in Yale's category. In negotiat
ing IUc IOT"uTu pass 10y tQuduN was
proficient. He timed his throws In per
feet style, and in the majority of cases
his pegs were executed accurately.
Defensive Play Strong Point.
Great as WAS his offensive playing,
Coy's defensive work was even more
effective. PLAYING behind the line on
defense he had the faculty of sizing
up plays with surprising eXactness, and
the way in which he directed the Eli
defense to meet such attacks was one
of the speetacles of football. in such
defensive position he was absolutely
fearless, never hesitating to dive into
mass or leave his feet for runner
who was attempting to circle the ends.
AT body-checking man about to re-
ceive a forward pass there were few
PLAYERS who had anything on the Yale
fullback. Timing his check perfectly
he would rush into an opponent at full
speed and the player never had a
chance 10 get his hands on the ball.
Taking all things into consideration,

Women Fighting For Honest Weights.

Backed by a volunteer army OF the
housewives of New York, the city. ad-
ministration has begun a raid on short
weights and measures OF foodstuf1s, that
promises finally to sweep from everyday
trade the last of the dealers who employ
them. Through a force of men inspectors
have for months struggled to show spora-
die instances Of the fraud that plnches The
home table, no general cleanup OF these
prevalent practices had been projected,
until the women took things into their
own hands Within a week thousands Of
offers of cooperation have been made to
the commissioner of the bureau OF weights
and measures Of New York by. house,
keepers in every corner of that city, and
the department is DOW counting on the &C
tive aid of one woman in every ten who
toes her own marketing. With this femi-
dine force at work to detect fraud, the
new York authorities believe the roofing
out of every short scale and measure in
the metropolis will be only the work OF d
few weeks.
And, what the New York authorities are
doing might we'll be taken by other COM
nlunities as an example that there is q
wider practice of the use Of short weights
and measures IN New York that in some Of
our Southern cities, there can be no dou bt;
but there's just as much reason why all
proper precautions should be taken in one
place as another to insure the buying pub
lie against mistakes in weights, or even
possible fraud here and there.

growth early In the fall and unless the
Hessian fly is prevalent in the neighbor-
hood, it should be sown any time after the
first Of October. Wheat can, however, be
sown later than other of the cereals. The
seed can be SOW either broadcast or har-
rowed In or planted with a grain drill.
The latter methods the best for the seed
are placed lar enough below the surface to
obtain sufficient moisture to cause Inn
mediate termination.
Wheat Is a heavy feeder on PHOSPHORUS
and nitrogen, therefore it should b Glitter;
ally fortified with %phosphorie acid and
phosphate and 100 lbs. of cotton seed meal,
or its equivalent, should be applied at the
time Of sowing; and another application
should be made the first Of March, q simi-
lar amount being used. At the time the
latter application Is made, nitrate Of soda
at the rateo Of 100 lbs per acre should be
applied. Most Of the clay lands OF the
Piedmont section Of this state contain q
sufficient amount Of potash for wheat.
Wheat when planted on the lands Of the
coastal plain should also be fertlized with
kainit or muriate Of potosh. A second
application of nitrate Of soda Of about 50
lbs. should be made the middle Of April.
A small patch Of wheat should be grown
on every farm for early spring grazing
and as q forage crop. Wheat makes the
best hay possible II 1t Is cut while In the

WHEAT, THE GREATEST BREAD CROP.

To obtain bread has ever been the strug-
caused wars and the change Of dynasties.
Through the ages, the ever constant cry
has been cheaper bread. Today with all
Of our complex civilization that demand
Is as potent as ever and to obtain 1t
economically will be the greatest problem
for future generations to solve. Wheat
is, as it has been since history began, the
main cereal from which bread Is made.
It is the most valuable crop OF the world.
No other crop is adapted to SUCH a wide
diversity Of soil and climate. 1t Is grown
within the Arctic Circle and over the
Equator. Each year the world consumes
more than 5000, 900, 900 bushels Of. this
cereal. =,
The south should produce its W bread
and it will when it's farmers fully realize
the advantage and full value of diversified
farming. Diversified farming is the only
key that will unlock the chest OF gold that
lies hidden in every acre OF u land. 10
diversity properly, we must grow all crops
in systematic rotation. The best system
of crop rotation for the south Is one that
contains a winter cover crop. This cover
crop can be either a winter legume, such
as bur clover, crimson clover or votch, or
a cereal, such as wheat, oats, barley or
rye. If the soil Is impoverished and IN
great need of improvement, one of the
legumes with rye should be so7n to be
turned under in the spring. If, however,
the land Is highly improved and was well
fertilized the previous spring and summer,
either oats or wheat should be planted.
Wheat is not a profitable crop except
when grown on rich land. The phenomen-
ally high yields Of corn that have been
produced In various sections Of this state
during the past few years are convincing.
We know that we have a great cor u
try, and this year South Carolina will
pObably produce es much as 5O,OOO,O 600
bushels Of corn. Where these large yields
of corn were obtained, the land will be
sufficiently improved for wheat. There
are thousands Of acres Of land in this state
that were planted in corn this season and
highly fortified that should be sown
down in wheat this fall. Now is the time
to SOW; it is not too late. Wheat can be
planted as late as the middle Of December.
The type of soil best suited to wheat is
the clay loan. Before planting the land
should be thoroughly prepared by blowing
as deep as possible and thoroughly har-

Station has tested a number OF varieties
