Most Opening and Closing

MAJORS OPEN WEDNESDAY
Opening and Closing Dates
of Big Baseball Leagues

Judging from the various major and
minor league baseball schedules made pub.
lie to date. there is little change in the
general playing scheme for the season of
1917. "A majority of the leagues have Sc
lected opening and closing dates which cor
respond closely to those Of the last few
years.
The chief changes are to be found in
the schedules of the International League
and the American Association. In round
figures these two organizations have cut
six weeks off their regular seasons in order
to provide dates for the interea CUES series
of forty-eght games to be played at the
close of the pennant races In the two cir
cults.
The National and American Leagues
will open Wednesday, and close on Thurs.
day. October 2, which will permit the
initial game of the worlds series being
played on Saturday October s. If eastern
or western teams are competitors, or Mon
day. October 3. in case the series proves
to be an intersectional contest.
In other respects there are few novelties
the Pacific Coast League having the long
est season, while one or more of the class
ID leagues will stage the shortest pennant
races
The Northwestern opens n little earlier
and closes later than last season. Nearly
three months of baseball are billed on

has been demonstrated this season
that growing corn by means OF irri-
CATION in the lower valley OF the
Rio Grande may be made a most
profitable industry The crop is now
being harvested and upon many
farms II is bringing An average
yield Of rs bushels TO the acre and
much Of II has already been con
tracted for at sl.5o per bushel.
In view OF the fact that tho same
land that produces this large crop
OF corn will grow second crop OF
some other product during the win
ter season, the productive properties
OF this region are made that much
greater.
notwithstanding the severe drouth
that caused a practical failure OF the
corn crop in most parts OF the state.
the irrigation OF the farms in this
valley region has been the means OF
obtaining enormous yields OF not
only corn. but various other kinds
OF crops this year.
