WHITE -SOX
DESPERATE
STRUGGLE

For the first time since 1906 and the
fourth time in the history of the or
ganization, the Chicago White Sox have
won the championship Of the American
League. Yesterdays victory clfnched
the title beyond all chance of mishap,
and now. for the first time since the
American League was organized. the

sides the Cubs in a post-season series
In 1900 and 1901. the first two years
Of the American League. the Chicago
ans gained their initial experience as
flag winners. The first season Charles
Comiskey piloted his own men. but the
next year found Clark Griffith as man
ager. The National League, in 1900 and
1901. was still at war with the new or
ganization and no series was played
In 1905. the South Side was given a
taste of world series joys for the first
time. under the direction of Fielder
Jones. From then. until the present
year. despite the valiant efforts of Presi-
dent ComislSey, fortune has failed to
smile on the Pale Hose.
Sox Overcome Obstacles.
Now, after a struggle which would
have discouraged a team less deter
mined. Chicago again has a flag winner.
At times during the season even the
most optimistic of fans practically con-
coded the flag to Boston. injuries struck
the team at its supposedly weakest
spots; the sluggers failed to hit up to
their accustomed strides until late ia
the season-but despite all this Man
ager Rowland has plotted his men to
one Of the most sensational and vic
torious finishes in the history of the
league

SUMMER TRAINING CAMP
MAY co TO MARIETTA
Major Edward 7. Winston Or
dered to Make Survey of
Grounds in Vicinity
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-THE war de-
partment today ordered Major Edward
T. Winston, whose permanent station is
Fort Mcpherson, to proceed Immediately
to Marietta and make survey of the
encampmenu grounds in tnat vicinity
with a view to the establishment of
permanent summer encampment at that
place.
1t is understood that the encampment
at Fort Oglethorpe, Chickamauga, is not
entirely satisfactory, and the war de-
partment has turned it's eyes in another
direction.
The proposition held out by Marietta
has attracted the officers. and the sur
vey is to be made to ascertain its adap-
liability should the department decide
upon Marietta.
While the war department has no d.
rect information bearing on the survey
of the encampment grounds near Mari
eta it is accepted as meaning certainly
that the army training camp for the
south and southeast will be located in
Cobb county.
General Leonard Wood commanding
the department of the east issued the
order, sending Major Winston to Mari
etta to make the preliminary survey. He
acted independently of the war depart
ment, whose first intimation came
through the publication of the formal
orders.
1t is understood on good authority
that the encampment at Fort Ogle-
thorpe was not satisfactory to the citi
zen-soldiery who went there for train
ing last summer. Their criticism of the
camp rested on the alleged commercial
ism with which their visit was treated
by the merchants and business inter-
ests of Chattanooga They complained
about excessive prices and other evil
dences of commerciahsm. 1t is believed
these complaints determined General
Wood to abandon Chickamauga as
training camp for the citizen-soldiery
and too look elsewhere Marietta is I'M
derstood to have been selected primarily
because of it's accessibility and its
healthy location. If, however, an at
tempt is made to capitalize the encamp
ment for financial gain it is believed
another location will be sought for sub
sequent encampments. If. however,
commercialism is not paramount, it is
probable Marietta may be made the per-
manent summer training camp for the
citizen-soldiery of the south and south
east

In order 10 grew velvet beans sue
cessfuHy il is necessary to get them

of corn in seyen-foot rows and the
planting OF velvet beans in an open
shovel furrow in the middle from April
% to Nav l. On poor land plant one
bean every eighteen to twenty Inches
an rich land one or two beans every
three or four feet. If preferred the
beans may be planted between the hills

full crop is TO be made.
II will be impossible to get the CO.

The land owner should assure his ten

and properly cultivates his crop.
SAFE AND PRACTICABLE ANYHOW.
One of the most attractive features
Of the program outlined above is that

Another most compelling reason for
greatly increasing the production of
grains and live stock is the world war

forced to become a participant. A food
famine threatens half the world and
even this great food producing nation
has no adequate surplus with which to

OUTLINES CROP PLANTING
FOR BOIL WEEVIL FARMS
South CaroIinian Offers SChed-
uIe of Crops for One
Horse Farms

South Carolina to getting ready for the
boil weevil. and in this Connection David
r Coker. of Hatsville. has written to
just what crops farmers must plant in
view of boil weeviI conditions
The suggestions have the value Of
being specific. They are applied to one
horse farms. but the same methods
would also apply to larger ones. The
plan follows:
The average one horse farmers now
plants say 20 acres OF cotton and four
acres of grain .(corn and OATS. Let his
merchant and landlord insist on his
planting this year six acres or more of
corn and Is acres or less OF cotton In
the six acres of corn insist that he plant
early velvet beans.
FOR NEXT YEAR.
Next year 1s1S) have him plant nine
acres of corn with velvet beans and Is
acres of cotton. Six acres of these Is
viii be behind the previous years velvet
bean crop and will require no fertilizer
except acid phosphate or ground phOs-
phate rock, costing 81 to So per acre
In 1919 the corn and velvet bean crop
should be increased to IL acres and the
cotton reduced to IL acres. nine of which
will be behind the previous years vel
vet beans and require but a small out
lay for fertilizer.
In 1890 the cotton acreage may re-
main at IL acres and the other - should
again be put into corn and beans and
each year thereafter the cotton will fol-
low the cotton crop. A cover crop OF
Abruzzi rye COR in some cases crimson
clover should each year be put in the
cotton
While the boil weevil may be expected
arrive here within two years. il Is
pprobzDfe That his maximum damage viii
not come before 1890. II this scheme is
followed. our cotton acreage will by then
all be upon land which has the previous
year produced the finest or numus ana
nitrogen crops-velvet beans-the fer
tilIzer requirement being less than 81
per cent of that now considered neces-
sary Upon such land and with such
fertilizing we may, by following the
government recipe for the production Of
cotton under boil weevil conditions. ex-
pect to make at least as much cotton per
acre as is nov being made With
moderate fertilizing the corn may be eS-
pected TO make not les than 10 bushels
ger acre and the beans not less than IS
bushels. Three hundred bushels of grain
Is now more than half the value Of the
product Of the average "a acres rented
or share chopped. and = quite equal in
value TO the average cotton crop upon
the same acreage.
OATS FOR HORSE FEED.
II will I'm most cases be necessary to
plant for horse feed about two acres in
oats followed by peas or beans TO each

the corn and velvet bean acreage and will
not interfere with the efficiency OF the

the legislation fully.

Indeed, two years ago, it received
the Endorsement of all Republicans
as well as Democrats on the judici-
airy committee of the senate, and
especially the approval of Senator
Root.
OPPOSED ON PARTISAN
GfNOO MD.
The subsequent opposition to 1T
only developed as the Republicans
from partisan reasons opposed 1T,
believing that IL might prevent them
from later on obtaining the APP
pointments.
1t is today supported by the unan-
imous report. of the Democrats of
the house judiciary committee and
/ know that the president as we'll as
the attorney general is giving it the
benefit of his influence.
The only opposition here is from
Republicans who, for political rea-
sons, would defeat the measure to
prevent appointments to the bench
by a Democratic president, they hop
ing that by the end of four years
they may put a Republican in the
White House, and by inducing old
judges to hold on have a chance for
Republican appointments to the
bench later on.
When our people understand the
facts, Il cannot believe any one
could object to what you have done
