MUST QUIT EATING
CROP BEFORE MADE
South Must Stop Time-Honored Sys'
tenn Of Economic Suicide,
Says Il. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special. 1.-THE peo-
pie of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before it is made if they ever expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and luXuries of life due
them" says H. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and fore
most authority on farm conditions IN
the southeast.
The south must stop forever its
time -honored system Of economic sui
eide" says Mr.. Hastings. Advance
steps were made last year toward
condition of farm independence in the
Cotton Belt They were forced steps,
it is true, but they marked an advance
lust the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs were made IN
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens Of thousands OF farm
ers better off than in past years,
despite short crops and business de-
preston.
With higher cotton prices, it is
going to be a great temptation to
drop back into the old habit of put
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop one may be growing, in pawn
for bread and meat. We are suffer
ing today from the old system fore
ed on us by conditions following the
Civil war, necessary then, but unnec-
essary now.
Year after year we have stayed IN
the same old rut as a matter of habit,
eating our crops, so to speak, before
they were made, a financially suicidal
policy for the farmer, each year put
ting his nose a little closer to the
credit grindstone.
eff the south had not been so rich
in natural resources, this system
would have bankrupted US long ago.
What's the answer? 1t is home pro
duction by each farmer Of every dol
lars worth Of food and grain supplies
needed on his farm that it is possl-
BILE to grow on his own acres. This
means good big home gardens; hogs,
chickens, COWS and something to feed
them on through the year"

hold of the people and this and other
forms of idol worship be done away
with.
The third Wednesday of February is
set apart as a special day of prayer

BENNY LEONARD TO
 ON DUNDEE

New York. March 6-The best box ing bout of the week is scheduled for Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, when the ambitious Harlem lightweight, Benny Leonard, will be seen in action in the main bout with Johnny Dundee, the fast Italian boxer, who is striving to get to the top of the lightweight division. In boxing an opponent of Dundee's ca1ibre, Leonard is taking on the biggest task of his career and his manager, Billy Gibson, and his trainer, Leach Cross, both be- lieve that Leonard will make the best showing of his short an -dsuccessful career.
 Leonard has developed a dangerous punch which has knocked out Joe Mandot, Phil Bloom, and Jimmy Mur- phy of Philadelphia. Dundee is one of the fastest of local 1ightweights and expects to outpoint Leonard with his great speed and outgenera1 him with his extensive ring experience.

PENN MAY GRAB BASKETBALL TITLE
 AT ITHACA TONIGHT

New York, March 6-Ithaca will be the trysting place for the settlement of the Intercollegiate Basketball League race this week and will have more than passing interest in the result of the jousts. Tonight Pennsyl- vania, which is tied for first place with Princeton, and Cornell, which is very desirous of leading this same league, meet on the 1atter's court.
 Cornell will be out of it if the big Red team loses, and the best it then can do is to hand the championship to the Quaker five by defeating Princeton at Ithaca Thursday night. Failing also in this, the championship will remain unsettled, with the Tigers and the Quakers tied for first place. Should this happen it will be the second time in two years that there has been no winner, Columbia and Cornell having finished in a dead heat in 1914.
 A team from Ithaca never has ap- peared so cratic. Last week, to the surprise of everybody, the big team of Coach Sharp fell before the often bat tered Dartmouth five, and then turned around and game Columbia one of the worst lacings ever handed a Columbia team on basketball court A to 13. If Cornell can hold the form of three days ago until tonight Pennsylvania is in for one of the grandest battles of a year of upsets.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1010-Johnny Coulon knocked out
 Jim Kenrick in 18th round at New Orleans. Kendrick was a classy little Britisher who came over to dispute Cou1on's right to the bantamweight crown. Their first meeting was a. 1O- round affair in the Crescent City, and the American was the victor, but not
 by any wide margin. Kendrick de- manded another chance, and they were matched for 20 rounds at 116 pounds ringsfde. It was nip and tuck, with honors even, for 10 rounds or sO- Then Johnny began to forge ahead, and soon the BritOn was game1y talk ing lot more punishment than he was able to give. For several rOunGs before the finish it looked as if Ken rick couldn't possibly continue. but he had a lot of the British bulldog in him and wouldn't quit. In the 18th chapter Johnny landed a wallop that sent Kenrick toppling. Jim fell for ward on his face and immediately be- gan struggling to arise. He was dazed, but still partly conscious, and walIow- ed all over the ring in his vain and pitiful efforts to beat the count. When at last his second helped him up he wanted to go on fighting, not realizing that the fatal ten had been counted off by the arbiter.

Continentals Defeat
 Bridgeport At Soccer

It required two extra 15-minute periods to decide yesterdays soccer match at Newfield park between the Continenta1s of New York and the eleven of the Bridgeport City Foot ball club, in the fourth round of the annual cup tie competition of the United States Football association. The Continentals won by the score of 1 goal to 0. The game was fast from start to finish.
 For 90 minutes the rival teams struggled to gain the upper hand, and then Referee Burnside ordered an ex- tra half hour, the teams to play 15 minutes~each way. The first of these extra periods expired without the deadlock having been broken but soon after the change of ends, Lonie, outside left on the Continental team, took a pass from Puxty on the left wing and sent in beautiful shot which scored, and won the game for the New Workers.

MUCH BETTING
 ON WILLARD AND MORAN 60

New York, March 6-The feeling of confidence in Jess Wiuard's camp that the champion will win from Frank Moran at Madison Square Gar den on March 25 by a knockout has become so strong that Tom Jones, Willard's manager, has wagered $1,- 900 at even money with Ike Dorgan, manager of Moran, that Willard will knock out the Pittsburgher. This is one of the few good-sized bets on the bout that have been made thus far Jones is credited with being a, shreWd bettor, and he made the wager with Dorgan with the greatest apparent satisfaction. He has also made other bets that the champion will register the dream-punch on Moran
 The betting fraternity is just be- coming active on this bout and the coming week may see some large wagers registered Some of the wise gamblers are willing to take the Nor an end at good odds, but there have been no bets made which indicate that Moran's packers are willing to take a chance on his outpointing the champion, except at wide odds
 One betting commissioner has $5'- 900 to bet at odds of 10 to that Willard will get the majority of the newspaper decisions. On account of the no-decision rule of the State Ath- letie Commission, newspaper decisions are the only basis for a decision, and to most bettors, this is not a sa;dsfac- tory conclusion in many cases. few bets have been made at even
 money that Moran will stay six rounds. Many of Moran's friends are willing to bet large amounts at even money that he will stay the 10 rounds with Willard.
 Moran took things easy at his training quarters at Dal Hawkins roadhouse. in Walker avenue. yes- terday.
 Moran has engaged a boxer from Pittsburgh named John Daly. who is almost as tall as Willard. Bart1ey Madden, the New Jersey heavyweight, has been Moran's sparrfng partner for some time and has always brought good luck to the Moran camp. He will do a lot of boxing with the chal- Ienger Moran will also try to en- gage Jimmy Johnston's heavyweight, Andre Anderson, who has knocked ot1t several Of his opponents lately.
 N Moran said yesterday that he was as hard as iron and all he would have to do until the night of the bout was to remain just about at his pres ent weight, 204 pounds. The stren- uous outdoor life in Saratoga has put him i1istf1e best of condition. s4a

CULLOP AND MACEE PRAISE
 BENNY KAUFF

Macon, Ga, March 6-With the second week of training in the camp of the Yankees over, several of the players already are at the parting of the ways. The first can of the young season was yesterday tied to Gene Layden, the outfielder who was ac- quired last year from the Sally League, where he made a great bat ting record.
 Layden has been sent to the Tor onto club of the International League, where he will have a worthy tutor in Joe Birmingham. Gene was farmed out to Jersey City last year.
 Both Lee Magee and Nick Cu11op, former Federal Leaguers, paid a nice tribute to Benny Kauff. the baking young Giant, during a discussion on terday. 'FThere is no doubt in my mind that Benny is a great ballplay- er,'' said Magee, who managed Ben- ny in Brooklyn. Benny is a natural batter and he has the true baseball sense. He will hit pitching in any league. Let Benny make up his mind about something and he will be as stubborn as a mule. You simply can't budge him.
 'Benny is one of the toughest birds ever faced,'' said Nick CuI1op, who trained with Kauff last season, but opposed him frequently while pitch ing for Kansas City. 'T got to know him pretty we'll at Browns Wells last spring." continued Nick, land found Benny a very nice boy.
 ''I guess I had my share of luck pitching against Kauff. He hit a lot of pitchers harder than he did me, but don't let any one tell you he can't hit left-handed. I always was glad to get him out the way"
