BUCKwHEAT is PROFITABLE

Buckwheat culture has increased
greatly in the last few years. There is
reason for everything and the one
for this is not hard to find. Buck
wheat is profitable. This year it will
undoubtedly be more worth while than
ever. All crops are practically GER
tain to return the grower good prices
when harvested but it is hard to in
crease crop acreages with the present
scarcity of help. Buckwheat fits in
between other crops and allows a
more efficient use of what labor the
farmer has.
The advantages of buckwheat as a
crop are many: the cost of seed is
low (about S1.30 per acre), it is plant
ed in June when the spring rush is out
of the way, it will grow well on al
most any soil and weeds, droughts, in
sect pests and diseases affect it but
little.
While it is true that buckwheat will
do well on poor lands with little plant
food, If plant food is supplied to this
crop in an available form larger profits
will be realized. It is best to put the
manure on corn land and to apply to
the buckwheat land a commercial
fertilizer analyzing per cent. nitro
gen and 10 per cent. phosphoric acid,
at the rate of about 200 pounds per
acre.

The fact that Ad Wolgast. once light
weight champion of the world, is In a
Milwaukee sanatorium suffering from
mental disorder, has shocked the
many friends of the once great pugi-
list. His wife recently filed a petition
asking that she, be appointed guardian
OF his estate, which is valued at $780,
600. and the report of the physicians
who examined the boxer says that he
is incompetent to manage his estate.
Wolgast won the lightweight title
from Battling Nelson in 1910 on a ques-
tionable ruling by the referee in the
fortieth round. Wolgast had knocked
Nelson down in that round, but as soon
as the referee began to count Wolgast
toppled over from exhaustion. The ref
cree picked up Wolgast and held him
on his feet as he counted out Nelson.
Wolgast lost the title to Willie Richie
on a foul in the sixteenth round in
1912. Wolgast is but twenty mine years
old.

NEW YORK STATE
FAVORS BOXING
Members of Assembly Anxious
tn Give Game Another
Chance

Albany. April 13.--Members of the
Assembly who are fighting to defeat
the Davis bill, which proposes to re
peal the boxing law, found great en-
couragement in the announcement
that no action in that matter would
be taken this week.
After many postponements it had
been expected that the bill would
come up for third reading last Mon
day night 1t then was announced that
it would be taken up last night, but
there was no legislative session. The
bill now is scheduled to come up next
Tuesday but it may be withdrawn.
No Repeal Sentiment
There is practically no sentiment in
favor of the repeal of the Boxing law
either in the Assembly or the Senate.
If Governor Whitman sends word that
he will consent to giving the sport
another chance the bill will be drop
ped and Senator Slater will withdraw
his bill, too.
Last week the Governor granted an
audience to delegation of sporting
writer's from all over the State who
promised their aid in rehabilitating
boxing. They proposed committee
of censorship to be composed of the
leading writer's of the State.
The committee was appointed in
New York last Friday and it's person.
mel as we'll as list of dozen propo-
sitions to clean up boxing were sub
mitted to the Governor last Monday.
Evidently he thinks we'll of the idea
and is ready to give boxing another
chance under the writer's cooperation
with the Boxing Commission.

from Minnesota, Ohio and New York
involving the constitutionality OF tho

This action was taken on the motion
of the government. which asked that
seven suits involving the question be
Joined and arguments heard at the

their normal course. they would not
have been called for argument for about
eighteen months. Among them arc
those of Emma Goldman and Alexan-

$4,000 for urging men of conscription
age not to register.
The Supreme Court agreed to-day TO
review Federal DEGREES which re-
strained the International News Service

Press.
To-day's action of the court does not
stay the operation OF the injunction al

merely provided for Il review, to which
there was no opposition by the Assoc

dclphia is to be the scene of an expert
ment by Norbert C. Hoover, national
food administrator. in the preparation
OF Scent loaf OF war bread. 1t
Is also proposed to establish stan
dardized method of mixing and maxi
ing tho bread. The now war loaf will,
it Is said. effect saving of sugar.
lard and milk. and yet BIO wholesome.
Tho Department of Agriculture, in
cooperation with Mr.. Hoover, has sent
d. r. Jacobs. Of the Bureau Of Chemis-
try. here to instruct bakers in the
preparation Of the bread. Mr.. Jacobs
said in an Interview:
"rhe exact weight Of the new loaf l
cannot tell at present, but l will say
that its size will effect a considerable
saving over present prices. After the
experiment Is tried out In this city,
we shall establish the same methods
and recipes in every section OF the
United States. I anticipate no difficulty
In securing the cooperation of the
bakers. as we are satisfied that If they
carry out instructions they will be
abie to put the new bread on the p,ar-
ket at profit that will allow them
to continue business as usual"
According to Mr.. Jacobs, the new
bread Is the result OF long series OF
experiments carried on to determine, il
possible, whether there might be some
way in which the steadily increasing
prico OF the staff of life could be low
ered. Tho experiments met with sue
cess. both from the chemical and ma
