MORNING GAME.

Joe Engel. the Washington boy. made
good in his American League debut
against the slugging Red Sox this morn
ing. 1t was through no fault OF Joe's
that the game was lost. as he allowed
but four scattered hits.
Griff was forced to pitch either Engel
or Musser, and Joe was the final selec-
ton. The youngster was nervous at first,
but when he settled down Boston could
not touch him While Engel gave out
eight bases on balls, this did not hurt
him in the least, and Grin Is satisfied
that Engel is good enough TO take his
regular place on the mound from now
on.
Hugh Bedient. the Boston youngster.
also twirled a mastery game and yielded
the same number Of hits as did Engel; II
the truth be told Washington was lucky
to score at all.
After Engel had settled Hooper and
YerIzes in the opener. Speaker singled
and stole second. Lewis doubled to left,
sending in Speaker. Gardner walked. but
Bradley hoisted to Foster for the third

 "I have observed two important def. ciencies in average cotton production, viz: The south requires three tim es the acreage under present methods and conditions to produce the annual cot ton crop than Is actually necessary cotton production is the rapid system of ginning, and the mixing and ming ling of the many varieties of seed. This general mixture of varieties is, to my knowledge, the lowest stage of retro grafton, producing a weakly, half bar ren plant, a poor grade of staple aver aging from 30 to B per cent. of lint.
 "If the public ginneries would adopt some means of keeping the planting seed pure to true type 1t would i'm prove the quality and double the quan- tity of staple production. By present methods, the producer is being swim died out of 100 per cent. annually. A good type of cotton should be a pure variety with fruitful tendency-the sta- pie strong. an inch or more in length, and at least 40 per cent of its gross weight actual staple.
 "The second greatest hindrance to profitable cotton production Is the habit of over-cropping the horsepower and labor, resulting in poor preparation of the soil, insufficient fertilizing and neglected cultivation. The average production of this class of cotton cui-
