Next Opponent

1t has been Il matter Of some 10 years
or more since two white men fought for
the legitimate championship of the world.
The last affair OF an exclusively palefaco
nature was back when Jeftries fought
Munroc-and retired. The so-called cham
pionship fight between Burns and Hart
was joke-for Jeffries was still unbeat-
en- at that date.
But it is a fairly safe proposition that
the next heavyweight affair of champion
ship mold will be between two citizens
with Caucasian inclinatious. Who the
other citizen will be is still something Of
guess. 1t may be that Willard will first
desire to get back at Gunboat Smith, who
won the decision from him some time
ago. Or it may be that he will let Smith
Cofey. Reich ana the rest of the field
fight it out among themselves while he Is
busy pursuing the festive dollar from
coast to coast, and possibly vice versa.
if the pursuing is as good as it looks
to be.

Back to the Old Hip.Hip

But now the heavyweight prospectus is
fringed with silver and purple for the
first time in l5 years. When Jeffres was
champion he so far outclassed the field
that all competition was worse than
piffle. The game went to seed and all
interest faded out
And then when Johnson supplantcd JEFF
fries the deadly lctharEy remained, for
Johnson was soon barred under the Stars
and Stripes. This nve-ycar soggincss at
the main division put the entire game
under heavy handicap. for here was
a champion who was not only unpopu-
lar, but whose main battle at home was
to keep away from the iron bars and the
stripes and the jansling ball and chain.

Farmers Conferences
At Agricultural College
President Andrew M. Soule. Georgia State College of

During the first three weeks of each
new year the farmers of Georgia have

of January there will be the annual
session of the Short Course for farm.
ers, following which come the annual
meetings of the Georgia Breeders AS
ISOLATION, the Georgia Dairy and Live
stock Association and the Georgia
State Horticultural Society.
On account of the great growth of
the number of students for the junior
courses at the Short Course, it has
been deemed essential that the boys
and girls should be taught at another
time, hence arrangements are being
made to teach them in midsummer.
The Short Courses at the first of
the year, will, therefore, be restricted
to mature men and women. Among
those who will be present will be
the demonstration agents from all
parts of the state. They, too, will at
tend a short course for their special
benefit.
The work of the Short Course will
be happily consummated by the at
tendance of the farmers upon the meet

Value Of The Short
Course To The Farmer
Andrew M Soule, President Georgia State College of
Agriculture

New problems are constantly arts.
ing in Georgia agriculture. In quite a
large part Of the state the boil weevil
has at last appeared and promises to
enforce agricultural changes within a
year or two, if the farmer is not wise
enough to make the changes at once.
What shall be the farm program OF
those dwelling in boil weevil terri.
tory?
What shall be the farm program
outside of the boil weevil territory, in
facing the cotton prospects? These
are important questions. They should
be answered only after the fullest in.
formation possible is obtained. A
thousand other perplexing questions
arise IN the minds of progressive farm.
ers who are trying to adjust them.
selves intelligently to changing agri.
cultural conditions.
Nowhere can the farmer receive so
much assistance in so short a time
10 meet his particular requirements
as In attending Short Course of a
College of Agriculture The funda.
mental principles on which the farm.
er can base his reasoning in meeting
his problems, is provided at such
courses. Inquiry brings from experts
the accumulated experience of the
world about the very problems on
which the farmer may want informa-
ton and prove the very thing to put
him on the highway of success. He can
learn how to curtail his expenditures
for fertilizers and yet get the greatest
possible crops. He can learn how to
determine the best reproducing seeds
according to the latest and best infor-
nation. He can learn how to utilize
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-12-02

various legumes for the upbuilding of
soil fertility. At the Short Course
he can learn how to distinguish vari-
Gus types of soils in the state and
know something of their value for ag-
ricultural purposes. Each year the
problem of farm labor becomes greater
and farm machinery more necessary.
To get look at all the leading kinds
and to have information from experts
at the Short Course is very important.
No matter how long cotton is grown
there is something new to be learned
about it. Pure seed and how to get
them, what varieties produce best,
what methods of cultivation have
proven best, what diseases and in
sects are to be combatted and how
and what a farmer should know about
cotton grading are all touched upon
in the Cotton School of the Short
Course.
No farm can be operated economi-
cally without growing a required
amount of livestock. What that
amount should be depends upon the
size and kind of farming undertaken.
Feeds and breeds. how to Judge stock,
how to succeed with swine, dairying
and kindred subjects discussed at the
Short Course should interest every
farmer in the state.
A course in horticulture is offered
touching trucking, orchard manage
ment, diseases of fruit, insects of
fruit, spraying and pruning.

held January 4-15, 1916, for which spe-
cial railroad rates have been author
