a heavier revenue tax than ours.

The Soil Doctor.

Chicago, April 1s.-Half mil
lion dollars in corn alone, has been
saved to the farmers Of DeKalb
county, Illinois, by the services Of
a soil physician. Following the
prescriptions for the soil, the
growers of the county have in
creased their grain production and
are raising fine clover on land that
was thought to be worn out by a
generation and a half of constant
tilling.
Lewis NJ. Gross, of Sycamore,
the county seat, thus tells the
story:
''The soil physician is a county
officer, and will be paid "a, 900
wear. His retention three years
AGO was the outcome of activity Of
the agricultural society after fifty
wears of existence. He has the
use of an automobile and expenses
paid. Three thousand dollars were
contributed by farmers and 81, ,OOO
appropriated by the county. The
soil expert visits two farms a day
and prescribes for sick and worn
out soil. When q farmer com
plains that his yield is falling off,
the expert tests the soil and tells
what must be added to make it
fertile.
cit is safe to say that the coun'
ty has added ten bushels OF corn
to the acre through the advice Of
this expert in three years. Near
ly 100, 600 acres in the county art
planted to corn, which means an
increase OF $500, 900 for corn alone

Growing csstoa Elsewhere.

The telegraph announced q few
days ago that the British govern
ment had guaranteed q SI5, 600, 600
loan to encourage the growing Of
cotton in the Soudan. hoping in
this way to aid England to secure
q sufficient supply Of cotton for its
mills from British possessions, and
render it more independent Of
America. Similar efforts to bring
about the growing of cotton with
in their possessions have been
tried by other European powers.
England encouraged cultivation in
India; also on the African coast;
so did Germany, even importing
some American negroes to help in
this development. France held
out similar inducements, and Rus.
sia spent large amount in Rus
sian Turkestan to encourage cotton.
growing; and was prepared to ad-
vance even more, but has latterly
abandoned the project.
Little attention has been paid
to these efforts by America, which
has continued to 4lcrease its cot
ton acreage and cotton production,
and to get better prices, and
which has little fear of ever being
superseded in the matter of long
staple cotton. But there was one
remark by Lloyd George in advo-
eating the guaranteeing of this
loan that deserves careful consid.
GRAFTON, although it is only a reit-
GRAFTON of what has been said be-
fore.
In speaking of the necessity of
raising cotton in British posses
sions, where it can be better con.
trolled by England, he dwelt at
great length upon the bad and
soiled condition in which Ameri-
can cotton reaches the European
spinner. Through improper bal.

under British or other control the
cotton will be better packed and

Even if these European efforts
to get more cotton from Africa
and Asia do not succeed, it would
seem that all the arguments are in
favor of better methods of cotton

the shortstop should always be a
fast man. If second has to be COW
cred by the short fielder because of
runner going down to second on
a bunt (the second baseman hav-
ing gone to first, because the first
baseman had to go in after the
bunD, 1t will be easy for the pitcher
to run over and cover third long
before the runner can round second
and get to third. On the other
hand, If the pitcher is fielding the
bunt there is no occasion for the
third baseman to be off his bag.
The instant he sees the pitcher is
going to field it, he should retreat
again to third
In other words, two men can not

time. Whichever of the two men

the other man has beaten him to it.
should forthwith hurry to cover the
unguarded sack
When playing in close because of
runner on third and when less
than two men are down. infielders
should remember that they can not
hope to get the man at home il
they bobble the ball so badly as to
let it roll at all out of their reach.
If they can pick the ball up in
stantly on the first grab without
having to move more than a step
after it they may get him, provided
1t was hit somewhat sharply. Other
wise they had better save what
they can out of the wreckage by
playing the ball to first for the bat
ter. In this event, though, they
should remember that they now
have plenty Of time to get the bat
ter. Unnecessary hurrying because
of temporary Illustration is apt to
result in a bad throw. In that case
you would get neither runner.
When playing in close, let it be-
come second nature to you to recall
that in the event OF catching a fly
or line drive you whip it instantly
TO third base, and you will easily
double the opponents.
WHEN YOU get runner caught
between bases, always force
him back to the base from whence
he came. Then, if he should hap
pen to get out of your clutches, he
will not have gained an extra base
on you. 1t was bad enough that
he got away at all. So make your
