s0UTH HAS BEGUN
To DIVERSITY NOW
Winter Oats Doubled and Big
Increase in Corn Acreage
Is Expected
w. T.. YELVERTON.

WASHINGTON, .. c., March 21.-The
Southern States last fall planted more
than twice their usual acreage in oats
and SO per cent more of their usual
acreage in wheat, according to the
figures of the bureau Of crop eSt1-
mates, Department of Agriculture.
This is taken by officials Of the de-
partment to mean that the South mas
begun a significant program of crop
diversification, and that this change
alone means a reduction in cotton
acreage this year Of at least ten per
cent
The fall sowings in oats in 1913
amounted to 1870 acres; in 1914
3,775,000 acres, an increase Of 1903
900 acres. If the same acreage is SOWn
to spring oats this year as last year
the 1915 crop of the cotton States Will
be more than 6,257,O acres. The in
crease in wheat and oats acreage to-
gether amounts to 100000 acres.
This is 10 per cent of the total number
of acres planted in cotton last year.
1t will be several months before the
department will have estimates of the
spring planting, but it expected that
the figures will show a decided in
crease in corn acreage as we'll as ir
forage crops. The high price Of meal
has undoubtedly furnished a stim
ulus to cattle raising in the South. In
creased activity along these line:
| should show an even greater reduc
| ton in cotton acreage than has beer
| indicated SO far.

ONE POLICY
 IN AbEYANCE
The Tucson Citizen Will Not Insist Upon the I'm mediate Removal of the State Capital from the City of Phoenix

! Allan B. Jaynes. editor and owner l of the Tucson Citizen, one of whose policies is the removal of the state capital from Phoenix to Tucson. was In the city yesterday. Mir Jaynes was, as he always is, q welcome caller a this office. He did not state what special business had brought him to Phoenix for the first time in two years, but from other sources it was learned that he had come to carry the capital back in person. He found things in such a shape at the state house, however, with the uncer- talnty regarding the salaries of the
 off holders and their clerks, on ac- count of the status of the general
 appropriation law. that he thought
 it would be better to leave the seat
 of government where it is for q time
 As things now are. it seemed to MT
 Jaynes that the officials and mem
 bers of commissions and the armies
 of attaches might become a burden
 on the community. Tucson cares
 generously for it's own poor but it is
 not prepared just now to invite the
 importation of pauperism
 In consequence of the investigations
 of Mir Jaynes, the Citizen is likely
 to suspend but not abandon. the
 policy of moving the capital until it
 has been judicially decided whether there is any money for the payment of salaries or whether another ses- sion of the legislature will be nee essarY. In the latter contingency. no further move will be made until the legislature has met and adjourned permanently. MT Jaynes does not want to assume the responsibility of a session of the second legislature in Tucson. He has been trying for many years to build up a reputation there for helpfulness to the commun- ity and he does not want to do any u ing to blot it.
 Tucson is prosperous says Mir Jaynes Practically the entire busi- ness district has been paved and light standards have fol lowed the paving as the constitution follows the flag. Progress is march ing through the old part of the town. Meyer street is to be paved and many | new business structures are taking | the places of picturesque land marks 1 which have been one of the chief | of the old Pueblo. But there are still many left. SO that for 10 come there will be evidences that the Spanish once eX- arted an influence in Tucson archi- | lecture and persons who shall have travelled in North Africa will discern | that in some way Moorish influence l in Tucson has been eXerted through | the Spaniards.
 Business in Tucson is fairly good l There is only the dullness that pre- vails usuallv at this season of the l year.

$4,000 FOOTBALL GAMES
WERE PLAYED IN 1915

Philad adclphia. Pa. Dec. 13-Parke Davis,
Princeton's member Of the football rules
committee and considered as the game 8
greatest historian and statistician. whose
one hobby in life is the delving into the
records of the game. was a guest at the
Racquet Club recently. and while talking
to some of the old Princeton football
men who are members Of that organiza-
tion told some things about the growth
Of this sport that amazed his listeners.
According to Davis. during the 1915 sea-
son 5000 football games were played by
the various schools and colleges of the
country. not taking note Of the thou
sands of club and Independent games. In
these games the remarkable figure OF
10000 players competed. and the attend
ance at the games was. in round figures.
6.5o0.O0o persons. Such a tremendous fig
ure took the clubmen by surprise.
Davis went back to the origin Of the
game to draw n good comparison. He
said that thirty-nine years ago, when
football first began its real college career,
there were but six teams and 12o players
and 1000 spectators.
