next inning.
Corcoran took the lead in the
nrst, and kept ii for three in
| nings, but the Naval Doctors came
right back in the fourth and tied the
! score. Thus the game went for eight
innings. Naval Medico finishing with a
one-run advantage over Corcoran.
1t was due to the mastery pitching OF
Rice that Corcoran did not score after
the sixth round, as Harley had been hit
hard throughout the game. For the
two innings that Rice twirled not hit
or the semblance of one was made on
him.
Both teams put up loose game in
the field, eight misplays being chalked
up against each club. 1t is interesting
to note that each side had eight er-
rors, twelve assists twenty-four put
outs, and two sacrifice hits.
Yoho led both teams with the stick,
connecting for three timely singles out
OF four trips to the counting block. Per-

PREPARATIONS OF THE SOIL FOR

prepare ne ground just as YOU woulI
/ if you intended to plant it in corn

preparation is especially profitable for
peanuts. That usually means deep
blowing, thorough disking and repeat

peanuts needs thorough cultivation

get the land in good tilth before plant
| ing Ground free from weeds or grass
( Is cheaTer to cultivate.
In the dry farming sections, peanuts
are frequently planted shallow with a
lister. In such cases fall plowing, har-
rowing and working with a sub-surface
packer early in the spring, gives thor
ough preparation.
Perfectly matured peanuts only
should be used. All immature, dam
aged and irregular pods should be re
jected. 1t will pay to grade and clean
the seed with a good tanning mill,
and where only a few acres are to
be planted there is a good profit in
hand picking the seed after it has
been graded by the tanning mill. One
man in Louisiana parish, last year
got $40 an acre for his peanuts while
neighbor got $50 an acre. ! asked
the man who received the smaller
amount what made the difference. He
said the stand. Careful grading is
great help to an even stand.
Seed reanuts should be selected
fIom the heaviest yielding plants,
from plants that have thoroughly ma
tured, and the plants should be well
cured at harvesting and the seed kept
dry until planting.
The large podded peanuts have to
be shelled before planting, as the pods
are irregular in size and some are
poorly filed: both conditions cause
Irregular stands Hand sheling is best.
Most of the growers of Spanish pea
nuts plant the whole pods, soaking
the unshelled pods "a to 36 hours i'm
mediately before planting. The soak
ed pods must be planted while wet
or the seed is lost.
There is great opportunity to
breed up prolific strains of peanuts by
selecting seed from the hills that have
the greatest number of well filled pods.
T. seems probable that the average
yield can be doubled by few of such
selection.

held beginning on the fifth OF Sep

looking to Ardmore 20 entertain the
veterans and their friends in a man
ner that will add to the pleasure
of the visitors and be credit to

home of the State Confederate Home
and large delegation OF veterans
will be here to see the home and
to witness how well the inmates are
being cared for.
At the meeting of John II. Morgan
camp to be held next Sunday the
matter of the entertainments o! the
veterans will be discussed. The camp
feels that the work of holding the
reunion rests more upon the town
than upon their camp and they will
ask the commercial club to join
with them in the appointment OF
committees.
The geunion g,)drds are eng
talked. DIR. HALEY. president of the
Home Board, wants ,he reunion held
at the Home while others hero would
rather have the reunion grounds near
the business portion of the city. The
after plan will afford cheaper sleep
ing quarters than to pitch tents eth.
er at the home or at any of the
parks. But the moneys realized form
the sale of stand privileges would
not be forthcoming and the mer-
chants and soda water fountains on
Main street would get the benefit Of
the concessions.
Dcrena Park with its street car
corrections with the city and with
its shades offers a very charming
spot in which TO entertain the vet
erans and also Wilmington Park
offers many ATTRACTIVE advantages .
In this connection there is but one
duty that confronts the people OF
Ardmoro and that is TO make the .
reunion a success from every point of
view. Visitors from every county in
