New York. Sept. 17.-New York
sportsmen think something should
be planned TO take the place of the
annual horse show. Since this event
has taken on international proper
tions. it has become fixture in the
sporting life OF the country. For many
years the horse show was OF interest
to sportsmen in the north and some
parts Of the south and east but last
years foreign entries OF military
steeds added lustre to the exhibition.
Just what could take the place OF the
horse show would be a problem. The
sportsmen seem to forget that at the
exhibition, as much attention is paid
to the ladies and their glad clothes as
to the horses, so whatever is planned
must be something that will have So
cial significance.

"FULL OF MOON" THEORY
Gets Black Eye from the Agricultural
Department.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The old
fashioned farmer who governed his
planting by the movements OF the
moon will receive jolt from a bulle-
tin Just issued by the department of
agriculture declaring that neither the
moon nor the planets have the slight
est effect on weather conditions and
therefore cannot have any effect on
planting.
plant your corn in the full of the
moon" a rule regarded as little short
of sacred in many rural communities
is entirely disproven, according to the
departments bulletin.
"All weather changes depend on TEN
perature differences" the bulletin as
serts. THE temperature, as we know,
constitutes of itself a most important
weather factor. Another and equally
important weather factor is rain fail.
But to obtain rain it is necessary first
to eyaporate water from the surface
OF the earth, and this, as everyone
knows, requires heat.
Still another important weather fac
tor is the direction and force of the
wind. and this, too, requires heat, for
the winds will not blow unless the
temperature is different at one place
from what it is at another any more
than the air will draw up chimney
where there is no fire in it.
Since, then, the heating of the
earth and its atmosphere to different
temperature is the real cause of the
winds and of all weather changes, ii
follows that the moon and the plan
cts can affect the weather only so far
as they sunnlv heat.

Speaking Of international contests,
il is admitted by the members Of the
Polo Association here that the war
in Europe has set back the develop
ment Of the game in this country many
years. Not only is there no prospect
of international competition for some
time to come, but the fact that there
is no expectation OF challenging for
the international title for a long time
has had the effect Of lessening the
number Of active deyotees in the
United States, in spite Of the fact that
few men of wealth are willing to
make an endowment to be used in de-
veloping polo ponies Of the first class
