Kansas is unique in many things,
but in none more than in the COM
handing position she occupies In re-
lation to alfalfa-growing. Her de-
veIopment in this Industry has been
one Of the marvels of her prolific
agriculture, and as in winter wheat.
no other state is her equal. 1t is
here that alfalfa finds its affinity,
and our farmers are taking advan-
tage of this to their great. profit.
1t is the stock food" par excellence,
and there is no other Just as good"
Here alfalfa-growing was the advance
agent of prosperity. From obscur-
ity it leaped to the foremost rank
of her plants and multiplied many
times the states output of tame hay.
All who know alfalfa best esteem it
as one of the richest acquisitions to
American agriculture, and in Kansas
conditions seem naturally adapted to
its most abundant and economical
production.
Wherever 1t grows the land is en-
riched and the grower as well, for 1t
not only fills the soil with valuable
plant food, but as hay and pasture
it brings returns that annually en-
large the owners bank account.
Through it's wonderful root system
it fertilizes and strengthens rather.
than Jlepletes the soil, to the great
benefit of whatever crops may fol-
low. 1t makes poor land good, and
good land better. It's hay yield per
acre is from two to three times
greater than that of the Justly priced
red clover. Besides one to three cut
tings of hay in the same season, q
seed crop harvested Is often found
a source Of greater profit than ii
hay alone was the consideration.

Attorney General Wickersham, So

NO. 2-EDDIE FOSTER.

II DDIE FOSTER, third base
man of the Washington club,
is another youngster who
has made good in big league COM
pany with a vengeance. 1t is true
that Foster had a trial with the
New York Yankees in 1911, but he
was let out, shot back to the mi
nors, and his first real work as a
big Lacquer was. in 1912.
According to Ban Johnson. pres
ident of the American league and
general boss of everything on the
map that is connected with base
ball, Foster is the best young play
er dug up by the American league \
last season.
The head of the American league
voiced this opinion when asked to
name the best all-around young ball
player of this years vintage. This
is what Johnson says of Foster:
Foster is but one of several
very fast players who have made
great records in their first seasons
efforts. When every view of Fos-
ter's work is considered, however.
l believe he is entitled to the hon
or of leading the list.
Foster is a fast fielder covers
lot of ground, hits well and PLAYS
magnificent inside game He is a
wise player in every way. and is
improving all of the time
Second Adventure in Leaque.
This is his second adventure in
the American league, and he learn
ed much by his first appearance.
Like many a younger player. he
was not ready for fast company
the first time up, and he did not
know how to take care of himself.
1T is different now, however, for
he has learned his lesson well. and
realizes it is up to him to keep him
self in condition to deliver the best
baseball tlmt is in him.
THE only possible objection to
Foster might be tha6 he is small,

GEORGIA ATTACK FOR
TECH GAME A SECRET

a THENS. GA, Nov. 14.-An-
~ otner stiff scrimmage was
the order of practice on
Sanford field yesterday afternoon
and not until dark did Coach Cum
ningham send his men to the field
house. Defensive work almost al
together fell to the lot of the var
sity and when they were finally
given the ball ploughed their way
with ease through the scrubs for
the entire length of the field
Georgia's hard luck in getting
men injured in scrimmage is still
following the squad as Nemesis
that can't be shaken. Although the
regulars have come through this
weeks hard scrimmages without a
serious mishap, Halves, one of the
best men on the scrubs, sustained a
sprained knee yesterday afternoon
and had to be carried off the field.
The practices the remainder of the
week will necessarily be lighter,
with mostly signal work.
The Red and Black eleven should
enter this game in first-class condi-
ton, as it has enjoyed long rest
since the Clemson game and in the
practices this week has shown no
signs of having grown stale. Cap
tain Peacock has recovered from
the light touch of fever that handi-
capped him in the last game, while
Malone. who suffered most from the
Clemson attack, will be in good
condition Saturday. The players
who have been out for several
weeks, Harrelb Wheatley and
Sancken. will hardly get in the
game, and the filling of these places
has drawn heavily on the scrubs,
which means that the first string
men will have to bear the brunt- of
the battle and will not be relieved

Team Georgia VIII Use Against
Tech Is Lighter Than the One
Vanderbilt Lashed to the Mast

n THENS, GA, Nov. 14.-The team
~ that Coach Cunningham brings
to Atlanta Saturday morning to
do battle against the Yellow Jackets
and upon which the Red and Black
supporters are ready to stake even
their laundry allowance. is much lighter
than the team that went against Vandy
a. few weeks ago, The Georgia team
then tipped the balance for a grand to-
tai of 1913, with an average of III Ill,
while the team now will weigh but an
aggregate of 1926, with an average of
166 pounds even.
The cause of this is due to the fact
that the men who have replaced those
who will be out on account of injuries
are lighter players, both in the back
field and line. The drop in the for
wards weight comes at the ends,
Hitchcock and Conklin both being
lighter than either Bowden or Parrish.
The average in experience has also suf-
fered in the reconstructed lineup when
Paddock went to quarter, Thompson to
full, Hitchcock to end and Henderson
to tackle.

SCRUBS GIVE VARSITY
A HOT TIME AT TECH

TIME Tech scrubs rubbed it in
on the varsity in the last
hard scrimmage of the
year at the flats. This was
the last real work out, and it
was grand finale to the hardest
season the scrubs have ever had
trying to develop varsity out OF
new material.
The big team was on the defense
most of the time, but their defense
was not as good as it could have
been by a long shot The scrubs
bucked the ball for while and then
when a touchdown was needed ran
around the ends for it. The var
sity, however. is working well to-
gether on offense and are all in
pretty fair condition
Mcdonald is out with a bruised
hip but is merely resting and will
be at it today. Thomasson is still

unless forced by injuries.

unless forced by injuries
How Georgia will direct her at
tack is an unknown quantity, even
here, to the closest followers of the
Red and Black success. The team
is working behind closed gates and
gives out but few tips, whether it
will be line plunging, end running
or forward passes it has not been
announced. but 1t takes no sage to
dope out that Techs line must be
able to stand lot of terrific plung-
ing and battering. The yellow
Jackets, on the other hand, will be
at decided disadvantage in can
tering their attack on McWhorter,
the great halfback, and not watch
ing the other Georgia backs. Bow
den has been going at a great clip
since he was switched from end to
half, while Paddock and Thompson
will bear watching by any team.
