During the last ten years our acre
yield increased, but not half as much
as the increase in population, We
have all heard the old Dutch
proverb quoted before, but we
cannot quote it too often: No grass,
no stock; no stock, no manure; no
manure, no crops" Holland is almost
enlIrely a grass and stock country,
and lands are worth on an average
$500 per acre, These people have
found that they can make more out
OF land from grass and live stock than
they can by cultivating it.
Unnumbered acres of hill land in
the cotton belt are making less than
one-third bale of cotton per acre, and
at the same time making poverty for
those filling them. The cost Of com
mercial fertilizer applied annually is
appalling. The ra2or-baCi terraces,
covered with weeds, grass and briars,
and the circles and short rows pre-.
vent the use Of labor-saying imple-
ments.
We are sending millions TO the
northern states every year to pay for
pork products, dairy products and
beef. This money should be kept al

BY making nine errors, the Indians
defeated themselves yesterday in the
third and last game of the series
which went to the Red sox by score
Of 10 to g. The defeat OF Keokuz
enabled the Sox to keep their heads
above the other pennant contenders in
the league, ano gave the visitors one

the tribe played good baseball behind
him the Red Legs would not have

the game. The fact that nearly every
man on the team booted big share
of his chances was enough to take
the pep out Of any pitcher. He held
up well through the ordeal at that
and was strong on number Of occa-
sions when things were breaking bad

One of the big features OF the game
was the baseruninng of Jovial Bill

SECOND FIGHT TO
SETTLE DISPUTE
All England Today In Controversy
over Unsatisfactory Ending Of
Smith Fight Last
Night.
SAYS SMITH STRONGER
Referee corrl Quoted as Saying AM
erican Might Well Have Wen
Fight and Held
Title.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
LONDON, July 17-Only another
fight between Gunboat Smith and
Georges Carpenter will settle the bit.
ter controversy involving all England
today as the result Of the unsatisfac'
tory ending OF the scheduled twenty
round battle for the white heavy
weight championship OF the world" at
Olympia last night.
They agree on just what happened
In the sixth round Of the fight when
Carpenter was sent to his knees and
an instant afterward the Frenchman's
second jumped into the rig and Smith
was disqualified for hitting Carpenter
while he was down.
Those at the ring side do not even
agree as to whether Carpenter was
floored by a blow from Smith or slip
PED down upon missing a vicious
swing directed at the Americans Jaw.
Neither do they agree as to the blow
Smith is charged with landing after
Carpenter was down. Some authori-
ties declare Smith caught himself and
the blow did not land at all. Others
say he struck Carpenter, but that the
blow was very light and could not pos
sibly have done any damage.
Clever Acting by Carpenter.
Carpenter held his head in his
hands and appeared, to be in great dis
tress after he was hit. This, Smiths
hackers declare, was merely clever
bit OF acting Carpenter insisted to
day that he did not go to the canvas
from the force OF blow from Smith.
He said he slipped and that the only
hard blow struck landed when he was
on his knees. majority Of the Eng
lish papers take the view that Smiths
blow was not unintentional. Whether
Intentional or not, however, Referees
CORR said he had no choice but to
disaualify the American. CORR Is
quoted in the Daily Mail as express.
ing the opinion that Smith was
stronger than Carpenter at the time
the blow was struck.
"He might well have won the fight,
CORR declared.
Americans are bitter over the out
come Of the battle. They pronounce
the decision of CORR an outrage and
declare he was influenced by the ex-
cited gesticulating Frenchmen who
jumped into the ring from Carpen-
tiers corner.
Both Smith and Carpenter today
declared they are anxious for another
fight. Gunboat Smith said he was
confident he could dispose OF the
Frenchman in return bout, as he
ha6 demonstrated that he had Carpen-
tiers measure in the sixth round last
night when he insisted he dropped
him with a knock out punch.
