MR.. ABRAMS FINE CROP.
4 Practical Demonstration of the
Great Value of Proper Cultiya-
ton and Fertilization.

1t is very gratifying to The Herald
and News to find practical demon
stration of the truth which has been
preached in The Herald and News for
many years as to farming. Of course,
there are people ready to say that the
newspaper editor does not know any
thing about farming and is always
ready and willing to give advice.
The Herald and News has contend
ed for many years that by proper cul-
tiyation and fertilization, the farmers
of NeWberry county could produce
twice ds much corn and cotton on
one-half the acreage that is now
planted. If any one still doubts this
position, it would pay him to make a
visit to the little farm of Mr.. Hayne
H. Abrams, just out of the city.
Mr.. Abrams has been cultivating
this farm now for the fourth year, and
when he took charge of it the land
was about as poor as any in the coun-
ty. He has improved the land by fer
tilization and by rotating his crops
until now in the fourth year, he has
cotton that will produce one and one
half bales to the, acre easily, unless
some disaster befalls it between now
and harvest. He has not only improv-
ed the land but he has improved the
seed. He has been using Toole's Pro-
life, and last year he personally Sc
lected the seed by going over the en-
tire farm, and having made the selec-
ton, had the cotton ginned under his
own supervision so that he knows that
he has pure seed, and it is very no
ticeable by simply looking at the cot
ton in its present state. II.
Mr.. Abrams has only white men in
charge Of his farm. Mr.. Luther Poag,
one of these, has twelve acres in cot
ton, from which it is certain he viii
gather eighteen bales, and probably
more. Mr.. c. A. Poag and his son,
Mr.. Arthur Poag, cultivate the re-
mainder of the farm, and the cotton
that they have is equally as good as
the twelve acres Of Mr.. Luther Poag.
The farm contains nearly 81
acres, and about 80 acres Of it is in
cultivation. Of course, some Of this
has been sowed in oats and some
planted in corn, but altogether ther:
are about 35 acres in cotton, and it
will produce this year from so to 60
bales. ,.... - g..
The difference between cultivation
and fertilization, and a lack of it, may
be seen by looking at cotton on otter
land adjoining, which is equally as
good, and which has this year a very
good crop, and, in fact, would be con
sidered a good crop, until you look at
the crop of Mr.. Abrams. E.. +
Mr.. Abrams, on this place, dug a
very deep ditch and made under
ground drainage 50 as to bring in
cultivation a large pond which he's
stood for many: years On the place.
The cron shows eyi3ence nf fire cHI-
tivation and is clearer Of grass and
in better condition than most p'2ple
keep their gardens. i
1t does one good to see crop like
this, and every farmer in Nswberr7
county could do the same if he would
plant less, work it better and fertilizei
it more. 49, ~

Tigers Disappointment
To Their Coaches

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct 2S-The re-
suit of the game with Holy Cross yes
terday shows clearly that the Tiger
tutors will have to push their men to
the utmost. If they wish to get them
into shape for the game with Harvard
on Saturday. Despite the fact that the
home team managed to pile up a total
of twenty points to the visitors nothing,
the contest was a disappointment to the
Tiger followers. The points were made
entirely by the individual work of Pen
dleton, Baker, and Dewitt. all of whom
got away for frequent runs of from ten
to eighty yards.
When 1t came to straight line plung-
ing. the Orange and Black forwards
were unable to deliver the goods, and
as a result of this Princeton lost three
opportunities to score. Three times the
ball was advanced to within the visitors
6-yard line by Pendleton or Baker, and
in each case the Tigers We're unable to
shove the oval across their opponent 8
goal line. In another instance. it took
Princeton four downs to advance the
pigskin. the four yards necessary for a
touchdown
The improvement in the line and the
machinelike working of the eleven
which the Tiger followers had hoped to
see as result of a week of secret
practice were absolutely lacking. and
although the Orange and Black warrior )
displayed more knowledge of the open
game, they showed up to no better ad-
vantage in other respects than they did
two weeks ago. Team work and inter
ference We're absolutely lacking, and 1t
was only by their speed that Pendeton
and Baker were able to tear off their
long runs.

Harvard Wins From
Brown by Score 20-6

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. October 29-Ex-
cept for a couple of beautiful forward
posses, Brown was no match for Har-
ward yesterday. for the score of 20 to 6
does not spell the full strength Of the
Crimson offense. Yet Brown had he
satisfaction OF going hack to Providence
as the first team to cross the Harvard
goal line this season. a feat due entirely
t. the perfection of :hc forward pass
In all other departments of the game,
and except for three minutes in the sec
end period in which Brown scored, Har-
ward was always master of the situa-
tion, while Brown was never again in
Crimson territory.
The Crimson defense tore through the
Brown line like a circus rider demolish-
ing PAPER hoop. There was scarcely a
Brown play throughout the game that
was not smotkered or torn to pieces be-
fore 1t even gained headway.
On the Harvard kicks to Sprack ling
the two Harvard ends were so fast that
the .All-Amcrican quarterback Of the
Brown team was repeatedly carried
back for a loss or thrown where he
stood until at last he almost begged for
quarter by holding up his hanI for a

Coaches Order Navy
To Play Easy Game

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Oct. 29.-After the
Naval Academy team had held Prince
ton to a blank week ago II was n
general surprise when Western Reserve
was able to hold the midshipmen to a
scoreless tie yesterday. However. there
Is no reason to believe that the Navy
team Is by any means weak and the
comparatively poor showing may read
lily be explained. In the first place Re-
serve brought a strong team to An
napolis, and presented stone wall
defense whenever the Navy team ap-
preached its goal line.
Then 1t was clear that the coaches
had given directions that several men,
bers of the team were to be handled
gently. This was notably the case as to
Dalton, who carried the ball only three
times during the game. Dalton has a
bad knee and his condition is giving
much worry, as he is by all odds the
strongest ground gamer on the team. .
The defense. although big Brown con-
sidered it's star was absent, was impreg-
rable, and the only first down was made
by Reserve just before the game closed.
1t was the intention of the coaches to
show very little of the Nays offensive
game. and this accounts for the very
few plays used by the rnidshipmen dur
ing the game. The friends of the Navy
team are not in the least discouraged
and believe that with the splendid ma
terial available, the attack will gradually
be increased in speed, power, and va
riety, and will reach it's height just be-
fore the Army game.
The Navy crowd Is particularly
pleased with the work of Howe at right
guard Howe weighs POS pounds and
runs 100 yards In 10 1-5 seconds. He
was considered a failure at football
last year, but this season has taken to
the game wonderfully and now vies
with Brown as the best man on the
NAVY line

Brooklanders Tie Score
With Maryland Aggies

Catholic University and Maryland
Agricultural School played to to
tie yesterday on University Field. Both.
teams put up an excellent article OF
football and the game was interesting
and we'll contested throughout. Straight
football was pursued by the Brookland-
ers, while forward passes and trick for
nations were the plays used most by
the Farmers.
Maryland Agricultural was the first
to score. it's touchdown coming In the
third quarter, when the Brookland
team was rapidly invading the territory
of the Marylanders. The ball was be-
ing forced TO the Aggies' goal at a
rapid rate when Shipley intercepted a
forward pass and ran sixty yards for a
touchdown.
In the final period, when the ball was
on the Aggies' twenty -five-yard line.
Mansuy recovered the ball after an
attempted drop-kick by Catholic Uni
versity, and carried the oval ten yards
for a touchdown. Mcdonnell kicked
goal. thereby tying the score.
