Il BERLIN, Nov, S.-The first inter

the centennial OF the Battle OF
Nations"
DR.. Alvin C. Kraenzeil, the old
American hurdler and broad jumper
now in charge OF the development OF
German athletic for the Olmpic
Games here in 1916, was present,
but if he hoped to discover any hid
den talent for the German team in
1916 he was disappointed. All the
events on the snort program. except
the high Jump, were won by athletes
already well known in the student
sections OF the regular athletic clubs,
and judging by the performances a
team picked from all the talent at
the meeting would stand little show

will try and tell you how I grew
two crops on the same piece of
ground. l have an acre Of old land
near my house that has been in cult
walton for over 40 years, and 1 have
been putting on this acre each year
for four years from Is to 20 one
horse loads of lot manure. Last year
I decided to try to raise two crops on
it, and the way did was as follows
I first broke the land with a IT,
inch turning pillow in December and
sowed oats on same and narrowed in.
In April laid off my rows feet
apart with scooter pillow and ran in
every other furrow with a 14-inch
solid sweep to make large furrow
to put fertilizer in. Now, you see,
this made my potatoes in eft rows.
I now drilled in the fertilizer, which
analized, l think, per cent nitrogen,
per cent potash and per cent acid.
put in 700 pounds of this to the acre,
which, you see, equals 140O pounds
in 3-foot rows.
I dropped potatoes in this open fur
row IL inches apart, and covered
them with two burrows to the row
with turning shovel about 5 inches
deep. covered this way in order
that l might run a harrow over them
several times and then still have
plenty Of dirt left on them. They
were planted on April s.
Now. as to the cotton, I bedded up
between the potatoes with four fur
rows with turning shovel and then
went twice to the row with harrow.
which gave me good seed bed to
plant on.
I used 300 pounds Of 16 per cent
acid under this cotton. 1 planted the
cotton on this bed between the pota-
toes, which, you see. made cotton
and potatoes 8 feet apart. AZ soon
as this cotton showed Signs Of COM

in a few days ran over again, and it
was clean when ! chopped II out.
