There are many excellent dry-land
regions for potato growing in the table

make careful inquiry regarding their

GRAY MARE CAUSED TROUBLE
OF Commotion and the Game Is

Jack Holland OF the St Joseph
Western league club tells this story:
One afternoon last summer when
the Omaha and Sioux City teams OF
the Western league were indulging In
a hot battle commotion occurred at
one end of the grand stand In the
first named city The several hundred
fans rushed through the aisles OF the
stands. every one craning his neck
over another's shoulder in an at.
tempt to discern the cause OF the trou.
BILE
Finally the umpire held up his
hands as signal for the contest to
halt; then. removing his mask and
donning his hat he approached the
stands. in loud voice he cried.
Ladies and men, A hush fell.
The umpire cleared his throat. then
proceeded with the announcement:
want to say to the owner OF
that gray mare that she's down and
can't get up. Thank you. Play ball.
And the game was continued.

on the sack until safe swat sends
him on. He wants to rely on himself.
SO he usually sets sail for the next
station. That station may be the
home plate, for Dolan makes three
base hits at times. But this does not
scare Cozy. II the pitcher is careless
or spends too much time winding up.

The Indian Head station. though by

around this failed to get much OF a

but they we're exceptions. one year
with another, in these parts even.
This same way of handling soils in
our own semiarid parts is being prac-
ticed and advocated by many. al
though our scientists tell us that thus
unnaturally exposing the dark surface
OF the soil to the heat OF summer suns
and winds Is ruin to it in the long run,
and that this unnatural way OF accu.
mulating moisture. getting rid OF
weeds and resting" the soil. should
not be encouraged where there is a
possible way around 1t, This We
firmly believe.
Right here many come In and ad
yocate corn-either for grain or fod
der-rape. when there is moisture
enough to start it, etc, etc, but a
whole lot OF people, among them some
OF our experiment station men, say
corn, for instance, takes an enormous
amount OF moisture from the land
as much as almost any grain crop
and ask how In common sense We
can conserve two years moisture for
one years crop by any such subter
fuge. Some OF those In charge OF the
work In South Dakota tell US that
while the moisture goes out of the soil
a little slower with the corn-as IL
takes longer time to grow and ma.
ture-that when it is matured We will
lind the moisture has been taken.
This looks reasonable, sure enough. !.

some way retain or actually accumu-

moisture in the SOIL than bare sum-

as there is more moisture in deep
forests under the leaves, no matter

SOME FREAK IiURLERS
Few Players Who Can Use Either
Hand in Pitching.
Keenan, Of Youngstown Could Work

Followers OF baseball have often
heard OF the fellow who could pitch

1t curve also. but few have seen one
of these pitching freaks

arm On the Fourth Of July OF that
season this wonder pitched two games

FLOWING BEGINS
IN MAURY COUNTY
FARMERS ARE TAKING ADVANT.
AGE OF THE FAIR WEATH.
Err TO TURN LAND.

For the first time in more than two
months the weather is permitting
the farmers of Maury county to do
some real farm work. Already upon
the high lands, the turning of stubble
and sod has commnced. In the bot.
toms and stalk fields it is yet too wet
to pillow, but the farmers, kept from
the fields SO long, are utilizing every
opportunity to get all of the work
done that is possible. Flowing for
oats will be the rush work as 1t is
probable that an extra acreage of
that crop will be sown this year
This is due largely to the shortage
of the corn crop last summer The
feed bins Of many farmers are run
ming low. A crop of oats harvested
in June will do much to tide over un-
til the gathering of corn four months
late:
