CROP IMPROVEMENT
FOR LUNA COUNTY
A Method that Would do
Big Things in Agricultu.
raj Development.
If Everybody Boosts we shall
see Great Results
Next Year.

81" 'N~tht'y otkfNoeNh ''NsN
columns by Prof. w. 7. Conway, of
the Agricultural College, the
GRAPHIC has been making inquiries
concerning the work of the Crop.
Improvement Committee and has
just received the following letter
from the secretary of the committee
Bert Ball, of Chicago:
We are only too glad to cooper
ate with you and are sending under
separate cover a form of contract
and a suggestion for a constitution
for your organization. which may
be an adjunct or section of your
Chamber of Commerce. ifyou so
deem advisable. These. may he
modified to meet local conditions,
but the general plan should be fol-
lowed, as we believe the best results
will be obtained in this way. We
will put One Thousand Dollars the
first year into your county if you
will form local organization and
raise a fund sufficient to employ Il
trained agriculturist of business
tact and judgment for a term of at
least two gears. This man must be
satisfactory to the State Agricultu-
raj College or the United States
Office of Farm Management, or
both. The Government states
that it will take our place in the
fund the second year and thereafter
and make this man their county
agent with p. o. franking privile-
ges.
The size of your fund will depend
upon how much you expect to pay
your expert. To determine this we
would suggest that if you have no
one already in mind that you re-
quest your agricultural college to
find you a man and ask them what
you will have to pay him. 1t will
depend upon the kind of man avail
able. The Government thinks $27Ol
year is sufficient. but we are OF
the opinion that the fund should be
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year, ac'
cording to the nature of the work
As conditions vary in different
counties, it is necessary that each
county raise its fund according t.
the hest judgment of the members
of the local organization. This Com
mittee, however, sufficient to OBJ
tain funds from Governmental and
! taxation sources alone, but that as
many persons as possible in the coun
ty should participate in the work
who shall contribute at least half OF
: the local fund so raised for county
) development. In order to main
tain the interest and get the proper
, results, it is necessary that the bus
, mess men, land owners, bankers ant
/ farmers of each county should b'
, personally and financially interested
in the plan.
The plan is in operation in scvcra
counties in Kansas and other state
and is considered the most advanced
step ever made. The methods tina
obtain where greatest success ha
been accomplished are that
trained agriculturist of bushes
: tact and judgment shall be employed
e by the committee as above set forth
! who shall be recommended by or sat
isfactory to the Dean of the stat
: college of Agriculture.
That this man shall be responsible
I only TO the local committee, and tn
e committee shall have power TO cor
troll his actions, or discharge hin
2 according to the terms of the cor
y tract.
e That this manager shall be en-
Moved for not less than two year.

PICKING
RyAN'S SPORT
Springs Man Touting an Austrian
Miner as a World Beater and
Will Wrestle Him, Avoiding
Bout With Champion.

over in Colorado Springs Tommy
Ryan is doing some more lemon
picking From a financial standpoint
he cannot be blamed for the big end
of a purse is always more satisfac-
tory than the smaller percentage OF
the receipts, but Mr.. Ryan is due to
find that his crowds are going to
dwindle when he takes on a series
of easy marks after advertising them
as world beaters.
Grand Junction is considera bly,
smaller than Colorado Springs, but
good match will draw here to big
money when Frank Du Cray is one
of the principals. This is not so
much his personal popularity as his
ability to wrestle and less that than
the fact that he refuses to go on
with men whose reputation does not
guarantee a high class bout. A
crowd of fans had always rather see
contest between second raters If
they are well matched than to see
Farmer Burns, Roller or Beeal go on
and toss some little fellow. It's a
drestling match and not a posing
spectacle that draws the shekels at
the box office.
Just now Mr.. Ryan, after refusing
to try Du Cray again for the cham
pionship, is going to wrestle a Mr..
Deviluk, asserted to be a champion
from Austria. Recently. however, he
has been using a double jack in a
cripple Creek mine. This will come
right on top of the Clarence Garrett
fiasco and with one or two more of
the same Mr. Ryan viii find himself
unable to pull an audience together.
Following the double-jacker Ryan
wants to try out Charles Olson, who
| may be recalled by many local fans
as projected champion of the
world. Tom Dodge of Denver, a
| Greek whom Du Cray beat several
years ago while he was young in the
| business, is alter bout with Ryan,
| but is not being taken seriously by
| Tommy. The latter is intent in get
ting the money while the getting is
good and in all probability local fans
won't see Ryan and Duke together
until citrus-plucking becomes a de-
cadent pastime in Little Lunnon. "

TOE HOLD KICK
NOT SINCERE
Chicago Fans Not Against Gotch's
Famous Killer, But Agitation
Arises From Gamblers Who
Have Lost Heavily.
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Chicago. March 30.-In this city.
where all the agitation for the abo-
lition of the toe hold started. is the
one place in the United States where
neither wrestlers nor the sport low
ing public are in favor of seeing 1t
barred. DR.. Roller, who has several
times been beaten by Gotch with a
toe hold and who lost a small for
tune when Hack was defeated by
the Iowan with the same grip, is do
ing most of the talking against it.
A glance at his record. however.
shows that he has used and is using
the pedal clutch more than any
other hold. When il is remembered
that Roller always prefaces his
bouts with nasty dig at Gotch for
using that hold, his sincerity must be
somewhat shady.
And, after all, Gotch does not use
the toe hold but very little. His
mainstay on the mat is the homely
old half nelson and crotch hold. The
half nelson comes easy to him, but
is useless without some grip that
will turn his man over. He prefers
the crotch hold and often make a
feint for the toe in order to make
MS opponent unWrdp MS legs. MS
gives him his opening and the match
is usually won with his combination
The people who are doing the cry
ing about the toe hold are not the
fans at large. but the wrestlers who
have lost by it to real champions
and the gamblers who have dropped
a wad of money and are using this
as an excuse.
1t will always be noticed that the
toe hold agitation starts in a town
Immediately after the town favorite
is beaten with the pedal clutch.

CLEARED OF CHARGE

LAGRANGE, Ca, Jan. 22.-After a
trial before Judge Frank Harwen of
the city court, held Saturday afternoon,
e. w. Moorefeld, of Atlanta, charged
by Mrs. NJ L. Leslie of this city with
cheating and swindling, was acquitted.
The case grew out of a stock sale con-
summated last July when Moorefielo
sold Mrs. Leslie and others in this sec
ton stock in the. American National
Beverage company, of Atlanta. Mrs.
Leslie claims that she paid $500 for
stock and alleged in the trial that the
stock was afterwards found to be
worthless. Mooreield was arrested in
Atlanta, upon a warrant sworn to by
Mrs. Leslie by. a deputy from Sherin
Florence's office early in January.
Mooreheld waived committal trial be-
fore Justice Gaffney where the warrant
originated, and the case was Immediate
ly taken to the city court Moorefielo
who represented Moorefield & Bishop,

for the past two weeks, and Saturday
afternoon was released from CUSTODY
by the courts order dismissing the case
against him.
other cases involving the same is

against d. z. Moorefield, brother, at

derstood that others were contemplated.

HON. |. F. BLAL0CK DEAD,
Fayetteville PIONEER
WeII-KnoWn and Beloved Citi-
zen Dies at Age of
SO Years
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)

Especial Dispatch to The journal
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga, Jan I.-Mr'
Louis Frank Blalock, father of Presl-
dent w. ]. Blaiock, of the Fulton Ma
tionaI bank of Atlanta, died at his nome
here Sunday morning at o'clock, AND
was laid to rest in Fayetteville ceme-
terry Monday afternoon. The funeral
services were held in the Fayetteville
Baptist church.
He was highly respected by the whole
countryside, and was loved and honoreu
by three generations in the county. lie
was a man of gentle qualities, chart
table in his deeds and words, kindly in
his thoughts, benevolent in his attitude
toward all the world, and patriarch
in appearance.
Mr. Rlalock is survived by his widow,
one of the most estimable and veneer
ated ladies in this section of Georgia,
and by four direct descendants-one
son, DR.. Blalock, of Atlanta, and three
grandchildren, Welborn Blalock and
Misses Mary and Elizabeth Blalock, Oh
Atlanta, the children Of an elder son.
Charles 2. Blalock, who died in Atlanta
several years ago.
For months past Mr.. Blalock, known
endearingly as Uncle Frank by hun
dreds, has been growing feeble, but
there were few who realized his inn
lived in Fayetteville, and so closely had
his identity become woven with the
county itself, that he was looked upon
almost as immutable. But the inevitable
beck of death called him, though with
seeming suddenness. He had been
slightly i'll for several days before his
death, but not alarmingly so, and even
on the night before he breathed his last
he appeared in full possession of all his
faculties and held interested converse
ton with his callers.
In 1880 Mr.. Blalock was born in Merl-
wether county. Later he moved to Fay
cite county, and in 1856 he married Miss
Hester Clements, one of the ante-bellum
bellies of this section. On December 49,
in their old-fashioned home in Fayette-
willie. they celebrated the 55th ami
versary of their happy welded life. On
that occasion Mrs Blalock confided to a
few of her intimate friends a Fremont
ton which she had that 1t was to be
their last anniversary together upon
earth.
Last Friday, January 10, was the SD
anniversary Of Mr.. Blalocks blrtn'
There were but few days difference
between his birthday and that of his
wife. Mrs. Blalock will be &c years old
this week.
During the war Mr.. Blalock gave his
services to the Confederate government
in the commissary department, render
ing valuable and patriotic duty.
State Senator A. o. Blalock, of Fay
etteville, president pro tempore OF the
Georgia senate, is a nephew of the de-
ceased gentleman. Mr.. Sim I. Blalock,
of Fayetteville. and Messrs. ALT c. Bla-
lock. George q. Blalock and oscar Bla-
lock, of Jonesboro, also are nephews.
Numerous other. relatives and indirect
descendants survive Mr.. Blalock in near
ly all parts Of Georgia.
