Martin Not There.

Andy Martin said he had brok-
en- his right hand Or something
which had the desired effect of
keeping him off the mat with
Carl Nelson. His substitute was
Gus Sorenson. Nelson and Sor-
enson put up the real feature of
the night with their wrestling.
Both men were in good condition,
although 1t was evident that Sor-
enson might have been a trifle
better had he known he was to
go on. Nelson took rhe first two
falls. He was the heavier of the
two and his weight won, Sorenson
being noticeably faster. The first
fall took 2S minutes and Sc sec
onds: the second 20 minutes, 80
seconds.

WHATEVER temporary incon,,

to The B. F. Goodrich Company by
the arrangement of Akron's working

offset by the resultant attention

DISASTER SEEN IN
SINGLE-CROP IDEA
Fruit Specialist Would Find It
More Profitable to Keep
Some Live Stock.
(By r. G. wEATHERsToNE.1

Single crop farming is disastrous in
the long run, as we have seen in the
case Of wheat. tobacco, peanuts and
cotton. Fruit is no exception to the
rule. l believe there is a tendency to
specialize too highly in fruit growing,
and that in many cases the fruit spe-
cialist would find it more profitable to
grow a certain amount of other crops
or keep some live stock. He should
make fruit growing his main business,
but select such other interests as will
most effectively fill in the gaps that
appear in all kinds of specialized farm
ing. Even though the crops he selects
may not in themselves be nearly as
profitable as fruit, yet the total profit
from the farm for a series of a
may be greater, since labor and equip
ment are kept in use. Some lines of
live stock farming are preferable to
others because of the fertility the ma.
nure brings. Certain lines of stock
~husbandry in which the animals are
fed in winter and pastured in summer
are practicable in some cases.
