Joe Giebel. Dicks battery partner. with

Robertson has had a good rest and
stated yesterday that he would pitch his

Manager Griffith will be watching the
former sand lotter, and il he shows up

IS MENACE TO THE GIANTS

Trio Speaker. the contribution Of the
series of 1872, may prove the Nemesis OF
the New York Giants in their ambition
to become the champions of the two
major leagues. Speaker has been a big
cog in the Boston Red Sox machine.
1872 post-season series. a role played
with success by Frank Baker last fall.
He hits any kind Of pitching. much ir
the fashion Of Larry LaJoie.
Walter johnson when in Chicago with
the Washington club declared Speaker
to be the most difficult player for a
pitcher to fathom.
when Speaker Is up I take an extra
long windup. let go. and say a short
prayer" said Johnson. who has met the
Texan in several hard fought series this
season.
This opinion of Speaker Is shared by
other pitchers. among whom are Christy
Nathewson, whom the star batsman of
the new American League champions
will encounter in the worlds series.
Cobb Did Not shine.
Ty Cobb. the rival OF Speaker nearly
all the season for batting honors in the
American League, was never able to
shine as a hitter in a post-season series
Speaker. like Cobb, halls from the South,
but the temperaments of the pair are
vastly different Speaker appeared in a
post-season series between the Red Sox
and Giants. and how he slammed and
banged everything Mathewson had to
offer. II revealed the fact that he can
hit as well in the chilly weather Of
October as in the heat of July and Au-
gust.
Speaker at bat uses a long free swing
that keeps the opposing fielders on the
jump He is liable to drive the ball over
the third baseman's head down the left
field line for a triple. Then again he
might hit to left center or To right field.
He is said to hit harder to left field
than any other left hand batter In base
ball.
Walsh Starts Good.
Ed Walsh. of the White Sox, was a
hard pitcher for Speaker to fathom early
in the season. Walsh pitched two games
early in the season in which Speaker
failed to get a hit. In three other games
the Texan secured one hit In each con-
test.
Since July 10. however, Speaker has
come into his own against Walsh, prov
ing Johnson's contention that he can hit
any kind of pitching. Walsh always has
been a tough pitcher for Boston to de-
feat-so much so. in fact, that one Hub
writer said he was prepared to concede
one game in each series to the White
Sox. provided Walsh had three days rest.
Walsh is not going against the Red SoN
in the post-season games. however. and
even II he was Speaker would be a
dangerous batter TO face in a pinch.
q Speaker in three games against Walsh
since July 10 has secured two hits in each
contest. but Walsh just the same has re-
mained the pitching jinx OF the new
champions. The Red Sox could defeat
Johnson and the stars of the worlds $
champions, but when Walsh warmed up
on the side lines they We're practically
beaten before he stepped to the slab.

SOWING COWPEAS.

The ground should be prepared for
the planting OF cowpeas much as 1t is
for corn. If one intends to use land
that was in corn the year before, it
should be disked as soon as it Is
plowed, followed by more disking and
narrowing every ten days or two
weeks, according to the dampness Of
the soil, occasioned by rains This
noe only keeps a good mulch on the
ground, but also prevents the weeds
from getting a start. Seed the peas
in late May or June. the method of
seeding depending much upon the pur-
pose for which the COW peas are to be
used.
When the peas are intended for hay,
the drilling should be thick, using
about a bushel of peas to the acre.
With small-seed varieties the ordinary
grain drill can be used to advantage.
When the peas are grown for seed
they should be planted in rows about
21a to 8 feet apart and cultivated fire.
quently. Early varieties can be plant
ed in the southern part of the corn
belt to follow small grain or early
potatoes.

NO MORE CHEAP COTTON
FINANCIAL AUTHORITY STRONG
LY OF THAT OPINION.

From the Wall Street Journal)
Cheap cotton in the old sense of the
word seems a thing of the past In
1895 and 1893 middling uplands sold
In New York at 5.62 and 5.37 cents,
respectively; but 1t may be that In
October, 1908, at cents and in De-
cember last year at 937 cents cotton
was actually cheaper, in view of the
changed conditions of production and
consumption, than in either of these
earlier years.
All elements in the cost of produc-
ton, including labor, interest on the
land, depreciation of machinery and
facilities, and expense for fertilizers,
have risen rapidly; and at the same
time the demand for cotton has grown
so fast as to establish the price on
higher level, even If cost of produc-
tion has remained unchanged.
Some OF the factors tending toward
higher prices may be here tabulated.
In the first column is given the esti-
mated consumption per capita; in the
second the approximate interest cost
of land devoted to cotton production,
figuring the interest at five per cent.
and in the third column is given an
index number showing the rise in
wages. Farm labor has risen in price
to just about the same extent as other
labor:
The Colorado statesman., 1912-06-08

Estimated. "*Rough approximate
based on census values.
Any accurate estimate of the cost
of the labor used in producing bale
of cotton is impossible for many rea-
sons; but assuming 1t to have been
about $500 in the late nineties, the
rise in wages indicates that it is now
no less than 1925. The interest on
land, buildings and machinery mean
while has more than doubled. Judg-
ing from census returns, the average
value of improved land in 1910 was
about $4,000 per acre, as compared
with less than $4,000 in 1898. At five
psr cent this means an interest cost
of $500 per acre or $500 per bale at
present, against about $1.32 per acre
or $3.50 per bale in 1898. Nor does
this include added interest on build
ings and machinery.
With the cost of production about
Al per cent. greater than in 1898, and
with the demand per capita Of popula-
ton about AZ per cent greater, it is
not at all improbable that cotton was
really cheaper last December than at
any time in the nineties.

THE EGG BASKET.

The old, old story of comfortable
housing, proper feeding, and the we'll
filled egg basket, has been told and
retold. Poultry on the farm is one
of the easiest cared for products.
Only little time needs to be taken
to give them a comfortable place to
live; little more time to give them
something to eat besides the ordinary
corn ration-say table scraps, beef
scraps or skim milk, together with
small grain; just few minutes each
week to clean the house.
Believe that they are a part of your
assets. Make yourself think that the
hens are interested in your farm
business, and they will be the busiest
helpers on the place. They will buy
the groceries, help to shoe the chill
dren, and buy the Christmas presents
for the whole family.
But they won't do it unless you
help them.-Agricultural Epitomlst.

UNHAPPY NEW YEAR BEGINS TOMORROW FOR NIOHANINTEDANs

There will be little rejoicing in Is- lam tonight when the year 1880 pass es into history and the new year 1881 is Iushered in.
