Rock Island may be the home camp Of
Clarence Rowland's Dubuque baseball
team. The soothing potion came as a
great little balm for the Bijou booster
and he has perked up considerably as
a result. He says he-can sleep well
now until be is assured that there is
nothing to the proposition.

will be no more somnambulism for
him till next fail. when the teams are

No DOPE TODAY.
Nothing definite is to be doped out
TO the fans today on the Dubuque prop
ositlon. The local magnates back OF
the proposition merely say to sit
steady in the boat for today, and some
thing will be doing directly. They say
that Clarence is fer Rock Island all the
time, and all past history is to be Civ
en- the so-by in the future. Well, if
anyone can stand the change, we can
down in this burg. Jimmy Brough was
not the only enc who was harboring
some Of those sleepless pangs in the

YOUNG SINNETT TO
FIGHT AT QUINCY

Young Sinnett, Islander boxing art
list, has signed up for match to be
staged by one of the Quincy boat clubs
at Quincy next Wednesday evening.
Who his opponent is, he will learn in
a day or two. 1t matters little to the
Islander who the man is, just so he is
of his weight. Harry Grund, whom he
whipped few nights ago in Des
Moines, may be his opponent. The Des
Moines papers give Grund a good
send-off in his match with Sinnett and
say he made good showing against
the Illinois lad. A knockout is out
of the the question in Des Moines or

The successful observance of Utah

With this end in view, Fred c. era

Why You Should Not Pull
Fodder.

.
| Next week we expect to discuss the
different methods OF saving the corn
crop. This Is a great big subject and
one to which Southern farmers need
to give more thought and more in
vestigation. The practice of fodder
pulling" Is still general over most of
the South. This is practically South
ern practice--very few people in 9TH
er sections do it-and, to put it plain
ly, 1t is the most wasteful and extrav-
agant of all the common methods of
saving the corn crop.
In no instance, to our knowledge,
have accurate experiments failed to
show that the practice is Improbable.
This is why Southern farmers should
quit it. 1t does not pay. Why keep it
up?
We know the objections urged
against other methods of handling the
corn crop-that corn cut up is heavy
to handle, that stock will not eat the
Nlarge stalks, that cut-up corn often
molds in the shock, that shredded
fodder sometimes molds. All these OBJ
jections are of more or less force Just
as are the objections against leaving
all the stalks and blades in the fields
and pasturing them off-that this
practice means a waste of feed, and
that, in some cases, the trampling Of
the land Injuries it or the crops sown
on 1t. There is something in each of
these claims. but not enough in any
or all OF them to Justify fodder pulling
If man can have his corn stover
cut up or shredded he can get more
feed at less cost than by pulling fod-
der. The molding OF corn in the shock
is almost invariably caused by poor
shocking or by cutting too green;
corn cut ut the proper stage is one of
the easiest crops to cure. Shredded
corn stover will keep perfectly Il it
is dry when shredded and is protect
ed afterwards. The man who has no
facilities for handling cut-up corn can
get more roughage from the same eX-
penditure of labor by pasturing his
corn field and growing regumes for
hay than by pulling FODDER; and he
will also have moro corn.
Fodder pulling, as usually done, re-
duces the yield Of corn sufficiently to
pay for all the feed obtained in the
fodder. The labor expended in pull
ing fodder is usually great enough
to produce an equal feeding value in
some other crop. These are demon
strated facts, and no amount of the
orizing or arguing on the part of our
fodder-pulling friends can change
them. Taken together, they mean that
the man who pulls fodder pays twice
for what he gets-once ir the decrease
of his corn crop, and o. in the labor
expended in doing the work.
This, in short, is why the practice
should be abandoned; it is wasteful
and inconsistent with the best farm
ing. 1t wastes labor and feed
Southern farmers are rapidly learn
ing how to grow corn; let them give
little thought now to the other big
corn problem, and learn how to get
the most out OF the crop after they
have grown it.-Progressive Farmer.
