er, and this player just "ticked"
the ball as it was passed.
This saved time, and worked so
we'll that a general demand from
the west, for the removal of the
subterfuge, resulted in the dulles
being changed to legalize the
direct pass.
The first direct pass IN game
came when Illinois met Wiscon-
sin. Fullback Hotchkiss waited
until the safety" man was play
ing close and then, jumping back,
suddenly called for the ball, get
ting it on the direct pass, and
punting far over the Wisconsin
mans head, dashing down the
field and putting his men ION
side"
An Illinois end grabbed the ball
and went over for a touchdown.
The rules provided that the kick
er could put his team mates on
side and secure the ball by rush
ing down field to point even
with the ball. Hotchkiss did this.
George Huff, then, as now, ath-
letic director at Illinois, sat on the
side lines and chuckled over the
success of the play.
The direct pass has made the
kicking game possible. 1t is more
difficult to block, and gives the
offensive side one more man to
protect the kicker or to go down
the field with the punt.

this series, telling of the discov-

ADVOCATES IntercroppIng.

He is a firm believer in intercrop-
ping the orchard, but instead OF us
ing small fruits, etc, he will do 1t
with chickens. His orchard is well
drained and makes an ideal range
for them. Chickens and fruit, in his
opinion. is a good combination to
pay off the mortgage and bring about
the desired development of the hill
lands of the county
1t is Mr.. Ferguson's purpose to
have 500 hens ready for housing this
fall He has three incubators at
work Matching out the chicks. This
summer he will build a new poultry
house. of the open front style, IA
wide and 140 long which will be US
ed to shelter them this winter.
Mr.. Ferguson is a member of the
executive committee of the Polk
CouRty Poultry association and is
one of it's most enthusiastic members.
AT the recent show in Dallas he had
a number of his Cherry Hill Reds"
on exhibition and made some notable
winnings. On the single combs, he
won first prize on pen and first on
hen. on the rose combs, he won

use of the employees and Mr. Patter-
son will soon erect a handsome mod
ern country home on the slightly
knoll where the, old house now
stands. The place is to be equipped
with all modern conveniences. With
water brought down the hillside from
a spring, power is to be obtained for
running an electrical generating plant
that will furnish flight to the build
ings and power for the multitude of
feed grinders, wood saws and other
farm machinery. Pure mountain
water is piped into every building
from the springs above. One hundred
and fifty tons of hay are put up each
year and 100 acres of alfalfa help to
furnish feed. A 20 acre orchard is
to be planted with peaches, cherries
and few apples, and several thous-
and cords of wood are to be cut and
put into market. All of which gives
some idea of the scope of the opera
tions carried on there.
Cherries and Chickens.
After leaving the Robbins plant, l
went over to visit the B. /. Ferguson
poultry farm, the home of the Cher
ry Hill Reds" a fancy flock of Sin
gle Comb and Rose Comb Rhode Is
land Reds, which are noted for their
uniformity and beauty of color. Mr..
Ferguson has been raising them for
eight years. He began with the best
to be had and he has been improv-
ing them ever since, until now he
has a strain that is becoming famous
in every Northwestern state. He has
just lately shipped out settings of
eggs and fowls to Wyoming, Idaho,
washington and various parts of Or
egon. He believes first in producing
a good article and then advertising it
well by the use of printers ink. The
result is that his eggs are so valu-
able that you can very nearly see the
dollar sign blown in the shell of each
one of them.
His place consists of IL acres, eight
of which are in cherries. Mr.. Fergu-
son has become very Wluely KNOWN
through his success with that fruit
When he came here he was in debt
for the place and had to work hard
for several years before he began to
receive an income from it. Now he
has one of the finest orchards in the
state, a good home and money COM
ing in, as may be judged from the
fact that he marketed $4,000 pounds
of cherries last summer. Having
built up his orchard until it is pay
ing institution, Mr.. Ferguson has
turned it over to his sons to manage
and he will devote practically his
entire time to perfecting his Rhode
Island Reds and building up a first
class poultry farm.
