FINE RECORD OF RENuNGToNs.
Park City. Team Which Wants to Play Pioneers Are Strong Combination.

The Remington Arms company team of Bridgeport which is strong on the trail of the Pioners of this city, has record which is an enviable one and of which they should be justly proud
 For several years this outfit has held the championship uf the Park City and has also met and defeated some of the strongest teams in this state and also from New York and Pennsylvania
 Manager Healey is anxious to match fls boys against the locals as 1t will go further toward settling the cham plonship of the state. The locals have attained a reputation that is travelling throughout the state.
 The management of the Pioneers should afford itself of the chance of securing a game with the Bridgeport team as it will give the loyal fans of the city an opportunity of witnessing q real club in action. There has al- ways been a good attendance at Sun- day games at the Pioneer diamond and there is no doubt that with the Rem- irgtons as the attraction there would be one of the largest oulpourings of fans that has ever assembled at the East Ellis street diamond.
 Manager Healey has furnished the Herald with the following list of his players, also partial list of the clubs games this year:
 The Remington Arms team to date has won IA games and lost 2. Have twice defeated the Yost team of this city. The Yost have been considered the strongest club in Bridgeport for several years. We have defeated the Poli club of Hartford recently by a score of IS to 6. Only last Sunday We won from Stamford by score of g to 2.

Have the esteemed Dodgers sup planted the Reds as pennant makers? For long time Redland was the greatest developer of the game. The Reds slipped New York Matnewson, Donlin and Seymour and put the Giants out in front.

In Behalf of John Paul Jones.

Dear Sir: Taber maue his record in a special race with a rresh man pacing him each quarter. The track he ran on had not had any use for several weeks and was in perfect con- d;tion. John Paul Jones made his record in bona fide competition among a large field of jostling competitors. The track had been in steady use for two days and had been badly softened lip. Furthermore, Jones ran his last jap alone. He had no. ,pacers. For this reason I believe to erase his record from the books would be un- fair and unsportsmanlike, and I have heard hundreds express a similar opinion.

What Fertilizers to
Use the Coming Season.

bly,. At the present time It will not
pay the farmers OF the Piedmont Sec
ton to use any potash In their ferti-
lizers. The sandy soils of the coastal
plain are very deficient in potash and
what is on hand should be used for
the soils OF that region" y
Fertilizers are not amendments Or
stimulants, to plant growth but fur
nish the necessary elements OF plant
food without which they will not
grow. Our staple crops take out large
amounts Of plant food from the soil
which must be replaced. The farmers
Of the State have not acted unwisely
In that they have been using fsetili-i
GERS In large amounts for q number
OF years. However, under the present
conditions with the low price OF cot
ton, we advise the farmers to reduce
the amount of fertilizer they will use
this coming season."
There Is q considerable amount OF
plant food stored in soils as Q

For the coastal plain we recon-
mend for cor 200 pounds OF acid

WHY CORN sTUBBLE
SHOULD BE. TURNED
Corn Stalks Borer Profits Greatly
When Farmers Leave Stub
bic Undisturbed.

Clemson College, Dec. .30.-The
corn stalk borer Is one OF the "rea-
sons" why corn stubble should not
be allowed to stand in the field all
winter undisturbed. This insect is
one of the most notorious corn pests
of the south. Without cutting the
stalks the evidence Of its work may
be seen in every corn field at the
time of harvesting by the holes that
may occur on any portion Of the
stalk. These holes vary largely in
number.
"The point to be remembered in
the life history stages and habits
OF this insect" says A. T.. Couradi,
'entomologist OF Clemson College, lis
Its habit Of remaining as a larva in
the base Of corn stubble below the
ground during winter There, there
fore, is a chance for those farmers
who arc friends Of this species to
do it a great favor by allowing the
corn stubble to stand undisturbed in
their fields during fall and winter.
Destroying corn stubble is not yery
easy, except on modern farms where
there Is sufficient horse. power anf
h stubbles can be turned under
thoroughly.
Turning under corn stu0ble is of
great help in reducing the corr stalk
borer for the next aso Where
thorough turning cannot be prac-
tised, there are other methods, such
as busting out the stubble and haul
ing 1t to the compost heap for rot
ting. After the corn is gathered, the
stalks. stubble and everything else
may be bursted out, raked in heaps
and, after d few weeks for drying,
burned"
In experimental work a very large
percentage Of larvaa was DESTROYED
during winter where the stubble was
plowed out and left exposed to the
weather. It "a readily be seer that
when these methods are practiced
by farmers only here and there It
does not help the situation very
much. The control OF the corn stalk
borer. says the ~entomologist. depends
on the cooperative action of the far.
mers OF q community.
The fact must be borne In mind"
Prof. Cpnradi concludes, : that it rs
an extravagant farm practice to let
corn fields be idle and exposed dur
ing the winter months. not only on
account OF these insect pests, but on
account OF the washing and teaching

SPLENDID CHANCE

SOUTH FINE SECTION FOR

BY Eliminating Tyranny OF Cotton
Ii Would Tend 50 Emsss;rase
Agriculturist.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-For MANY
years q United States department OF
has been endeavoring to
make n people OF the South see the
great wisdom Of going into dairying
ana cattle raising on a larger scale.
AT n present time II Is quite appar-
emit that something must be done to
get away from too much cotton.
Iherefore the department believes
n a q good substitute is to be found
In dairying.
Today discussing this matter, Sec
rotary Houston authorized the follow

system are very forcibly demonstrated
on many farms, among which are

"a one-crop cotton growing system
forces a great many farmers either ~
borrow money with which to mako

basis. High rates of interest must
be paid. The merchant who farnisbes
the supplies often also does business

Another possible solution of the
