4 GREAT R0TATI0H

Last year saw number of catch crops that paved the owner more than any cotton crop on the same acreage would have done. Twenty acres that had been in wheat were planted as follows: Five acres in turnips, five in rape, five in chufuf, and five in niI- let and peanuts in alternate rows. About six weeks later the owner was able to buy large number ot young pigs at low price; in fact, ne secured the country arouud for them. He put temporary fence across the middle of his turnip patch and turned the pigs on them. This they q eaned up we'll by the time the other haIfof the turnips, and the rape were of full growth. The fence was moved to the center of the rape patch; this gave them a avarie;y of turnips and rape. When the pigs, which were grow ing raoidly, finished off this, the fence was moved to the center of the chufu patch, and in turn, after finishing the rape and chufus, they had feast of chufus, millet and peanuts, which left them n prime marketing condition
 do not know how much was cleared on these crops, but from the number of hogs I saw while going by it, was large pay for the little work. None ofthe crops were harvested by hand, the pigs doing that themselves,
 These crops were all planted about the same time, so that while the first feed was little young, the other

AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
By [. N. Carver.

Professor of Economics, Harvard University.
 Every city has it's chamber of com merce or it's Board of Trade. The purpose of such an organization is to study economic and business op- portunities of the city and promote enterprises which will help to build the city Does any one know of a good and sufficient reason why ev- cry rural neighborhood ought not have similar organization?
 In Germany they already have such organizations They are generally called the landwirthschaftsr or agricultural council. Some students of the problem of rural organization are strongly of the opinion that such an agricultural council is necessary before much can be done for the bet tering of rural credit or the market ing of farm produce. There is no object, for example, in having more capital in farming neighborhood unless the farmers know without any guess-work just how to use that capi- tai so as to increase the production and the profit of their farms. If all the leading farmers of neighbor- hood would lay their heads together and talk over the situation and study the opportunities for new investment, they would be less likely to make mistakes than if they work secretly, as separate individuals.

RURAL SCHOOL TERM SHOULD BE EXTENDED
By p. p. claxton, U. s. Commissioner of Education.

Tn most States school days for country children are fewer than for city children. The average length of school term in cities of the United States is one hundred and eighty five days; in rural communities one hundred and thirty-eight days, diff ference of forty-seven days. In some States the difference is much greater than this average. In many counties the average length of the rural school term is less than one hun dred days, and in some districts it is less. On the other hand, in the States of California, New York and Connecticut, the country schools are in session one hundred and eighty days in year, and in several other States almost as long The country schools of Rhode Island are in ses- sion one hundred and ninety days in year.
 If all children are to have an equal opportunity for education we must even up the school terms of the country and give to all country ehil- dren at least as many days as are now given to city children. One hundred and eighty-fve days of schooling a year for all children will not be too much. There are coun- tries in which the schools, both for city and country, are in session from two hundred and twenty to two hun dred and fifty days or more in the year American children need as much education as those of any oth- CT country, and this applies to the rural as well as urban districts.

CIVILIZATIONS
 GREATEST TRAGEDY.

Extract from article by W. D. Lewis, president Texas Farmers Union, op- posing womans suffrage:
 We are willing to join in every eff fort to elevate woman but will assist in none to drag her down The de- scent of womanhood is the most awful tragedy in civilization. As she sinks she may, like the setting sun, tint the horizon with the rays of her depart ing glory. She may tenderly kiss the mountain tops of her achievement farewell; she may, like the sinking sun, allure the populace with her beauty as she disappears for the night but when she steps downward, the earth is as certain to tremble and plunge into darkness as death Is to follow life." 4.sfi a ii13istss. ...ssssa,j

ACKERMAN GETS
PURSE FROM GREEK
STAYS Fill HOUR WITH COTSO-
NARAS. OF SIOUX FALLS
BIG CROWD ATTENDS.

AL Alderman, the Mitchell Crap
pier and welter-weight champion
stayed the hour with C~otsonaros, the
"Greek Demon" of Sioux Falls, in
the handicap match staged in the city
hall auditorium Thursday night. The
Greek agreed to win two falls from
Alderman in one hours time or for
felt the purse. but the quic kand
clever methods of Alderman were be-
You'd the Greeks control.
C]otsonaros made repeated attacks
upon Alderman for the toe hold but
in no more than one or two instances
did the Greek succeed in getting the
little veteran in a dangerous posi-
ton. In evrey case he would squirm
out of the holds of Cotsonaros.
For the first 10 minutes of the con
test Cotsonaros took the aggressive
and made trys for effective holds,
when Alderman got a body grip and
kept the middleweight in a position
where he could not attack for several
minutes. Until 40 minutes time had
elapsed ,Ackerman had been protect
ing himself from the attempted holds
of Cotsonaros, who tried mainly for
the toe-hold. Nelson and crotch.
The hold that Alderman used most
effectively was the hammer lock and
scissor hold. Twice during the match
Alderman had good holds on his
man. and it was only his superior
strength that saved the Greek from
being pinned to the mat. 1t was dur
ing the last 5 minutes of the contest
that Cotsonaros took the most punish
ment when Alderman had good con-
troll of the head scissor and hammer
lock holds on his opponent, but
hardly enough strength to force the
muscular shoulders of Cotsonaros to
the mat.
After the match last night Cotson-
ARCS stated that he had been in two
hard matches within the last week
and was somewhat tired at the be-
ginning of the contest with Acker-
man., but that he would take on
Alderman to a finish match at any
time for a purse of from $500 to
$1,000. Ackerman's manager is con-
fident that his mar can throw the
Greek and stated that there would
probably be another match arranged
for an early date.
In the .prelimenaries Norwaad got
two falls from Hunt, of Alexandria,
and McGinnis won two falls from
Smith, both of Mitchell. Over 200
fans attended the contest last night.
