BREAK LAND FOR
NEXT YEAR NOW
Commissioner Page Tells of
Many Advantages to be Gain
ed by Early Breaking.

The crop gathering season is
almost over and all corn land
that has not been brokenshould
be broken this month and all
the stalks, weeds and grass
plowed under. Any meadow
land that you expect to plant in
other crops next year, should
be turned under this month.
Flat break all the land you can
during December. It will also
pay we'll to disk the land as fast
as you break it. Do not leave
the furroW slice unbroken and
unsettled, but pulverize it into
loose bed. 1t will hold plant
food better, and make a reser-
voir for water in the spring
Large clods and furrow slices
with air places in between are
hard on the land and will tell
on the next crop. Get rid of
them by disking. A clod in the
field is really worse than arock.
Now is the time to look after
your seed for next year if you
have not already done SO. Cot
ton seed will be scarce and high
priced in the spring. If you
have not saved your cotton seed
do so without further delay.
Good seed corn is alwaysscarce
in Arkansas. If you have good
variety of corn stick to it and
pick out your best ears now and
hang them up in a good dry
place where they will be pro-
Itected from the freezing wealth
era good way is to swing them
to the rafters in the house over
the living room. Never keep
more than two varieties Of corn
on the farm, one white and the
other yellow. Select your seed
carefully every year and build
up these two varieties. Do not
] be experimenting with every
new variety you happen to hear
about. Remember that all good
varieties of corn are produced
as a result of breedingand care
full seed selection year after
year, without allowing anymiX-
ture. 1t will do but little good
to get the very best variety un-
less you keep it from mixing
with other varieties, and are al
SO careful in selecting seed ev-
cry year Without care in seed
selection the best seed will run
out. Observe equal care with
cotton seed, and have as few
varieties as possible. One good
variety is enough. On my farm
we had three or four kinds this
year. Next year we will have
but one, as We produced enough
of one variety for the whole
GRIP next year. The seed we will
plant averaged SO per cent lint.
From 1900 pounds we got a
bale weighing SIS pounds.
From 1000 pounds Of the other
kind we got a bale weighing
496 pounds. Taking the aver
age yield per acre on the farm
/ calculated the difference, and
found that the one we are go
ing to keep produced atthe rate
of $6.40 per acre more than the
other kinds. However, it yield
ed better than the other kinds,
and the real difference amounts
to about SO per acre. A cotton
that will pull a one-inch staple
and make SO per cent lint and
lis a good yiclder is a good kind
to stick to. It pays. Suit yourself
about the variety, but stick to
it and improve it by careful
seed selection.

LONG TERM CONTRACTS
BIC BLOW TO BASEBALL
John M. Ward, Formerly Federal
League Club Official, Declares Play
ers Lose Enthusiasm and Fail to
Show Form

New York, Jan. 27.--John Montgom-
cry Ward, the former New York short
stop and united recently with the Fed
eral League, stated yesterday that the
one feature of modern baseball which
was working more injury than any 9th
er feature was the longterm contract,
which, he asserted, was responsible for
the mediocre playing of many stars last
season, and has also established an at
mosphere of indifference among the
players who have been engaged for two
or three seasons.
BASEBALL says Mr.. Ward, "is a
very distinct calling; it is entirely diff
ferent than anything else. Essentially,
it is play for the participants, and for
player to do has best he must have
inspiration. 1t is inspiration and un-
bounded enthusiasm which enable the
player to make some phenomenal play.
If it were not for inspiration, these
star players would never become keyed
up to unusual performances.
Therefore, when player gets a
long term contract, say for three years,
as many men received in the big league
last season, he loses that enthusiasm
which has kept him up to playing his
best. l do not mean to say that they
quit, but, with the future insured and
with no incentive to work up their en-
thusiam, the long-term players have ta'
ken things easily and have not meas
ured up to the standard they are ca
pable of. f"
Mr. Ward is very much interested in
the Federal League suit and discussed
the question at some length. He point
ed out that the hearing last week be-
fore Judge Lands in Chicago was sim
ply the preliminary skirmish in the
proceedings. Even if Judge Lamdis de-
eides in favor of the Federal League,
that cannot be construed as victory
for the Independents, because the tenn
porary injunction, if granted, will ex-
tend for only 20 days, when the suit
itself will be heard.
In the event of Judge Lands de-
Gliding that his court has no jurisldc-
tion in the matter, the case will prob
ably be thrown out. 1t is not likely
that the Federal League will appeal,
because this would put the case over
the purpose of Federal League to carry
the legal complications to the point
where they will in any way interfere
with the playing season. Baseball men
have come to realize that the public
does not take very kindly to the pro-
longed legal and political features of
baseball. What they want is the game
itself, and the less the public knows of
the inside workings of the organizations
the better they like it.

FOOTBALL SOLONS TO MEET
Game Is Satisfactory and Rules Not
Likely to Be Changed

Boston, Jan. 27.-The announcement
was made here yesterday that the an
nual meeting of the Intercollegiate
Football Rules Committee will be held
February and 6, at the Hotel Bilt-
more, in New York. Chairman f. K.
Hall, of Dartmouth, settled the date
after hearing from the other 13 mem
bers of the board, and it is believed
that there will be full attendance.
Mr.. Hall anticipates very few changes
in the rules, these rather in the word
ing than in the letter or spirit.
The game proved very satisfac tory
last fall, and the committee as a whole
believes it is best to make no changes
of any Importance. The personnel of
the Rules Committee is the same as it
was last year, the delegates from the
National Collegiate Association having
been retained in body.
The usual report of the central
board will be heard as will the report
of the new committee made up of of
fcials who are in charge of the more
important games.
