fight clubs. If boxing dies in New
York state the promoters Will have
themselves TO blame. They can't
fasten it anywhere else. Their greed
and the loose methods of conducting
fights have caused free predictions to
be made for long time that the
golden goose was slowly choking to
death.
Boxers of ability. showing in New
York rings, have been prone to stall
and dance through the ten rounds per
mitted by law. coming out of their en-
counters with only a newspaper verdict
standing against them owing to the no
decision feature of the state law. The
New York law has been cited in other
states to such an extent that it is al
most impossible now to find a large
center where boxing bOuts to a decision
will be permitted. Consequently, the
clean, hard fights are hard to find.
Boxers do desultorv training and are
not capable of going through a hard
session when they began.
Benny Leonard was giving Phil
Bloom one-handed beating in New
York when Mcdonald met his death in
Albany. With an injured left hand
Leonard had Bloom all but out on three
occasions. If Leonard shows as well
in his meeting with frankie Callahan
there probably will be a loud and in
sistcnt clamor for a return bout for
Leonard with Champion Welsh.

CHRISTOPHER EGGS
FLOWED UNDER
State College Warns Farmers to Des-
troy Eggs This Fall

Brookings-Farmers who were
troubled with grasshoppers tffs>sum-
mer should examine their fields late
in October for the eggs of this pest.
Soil that contains eggs should be
plowed, disked, narrowed or cultivat-
ed in order to expose eggs to wind
and sun. or to get them so far be-
meath the surface that the young when
Matched next year, will be unable to
reach freedom. These suggestions
are offered in the grasshopper bulletin
recently published by the South Dako-
Ia college en~tomologists and distrib-
uted free to farmers upon request by
the experiment station.
How to Find Hopper Eggs
Look for hopper eggs usually in
small clumps of grass or alfalfa sur
rounded by large or small spots OF
bare ground. The egg masses are in
pods up to an inch and a half long
containing SO to 1875 or more eggs,
and are laid by the female hopper
about an inch and a half below the
surface of the soil. Prof. III. Sevein,
State college entomologist, mentions
finding more than five thousand eggs
in an area a foot square. and finding
more than a thousand eggs In a
small clump of grass two inches in
dfanaatny ITO chAnII aIoA
anime borders of fields, ditch banks
and roadsides for hopper Eggs.
How TO Destroy the Eggs
Whether the farmer shall pillow.
disk or cultivate to destroy the eggs
depends upon the area infected, the
tools on hand and what crop is to
follow. Flowing which buries the
eggs so that the young never see the
light, should be at least six inches
deep and done sometime between
October Is and April 80. The plowed
soil should be pulverized and packed
as much as possible.
Where plowng is not advisable,
the soil should be disked, narrowed
or cultivated this fall. stirring the
soil about two inches deep TO expose
the eggs to the weather. The disking
should be done lengthwise, crosswise
and even cornerwise, when ever pos
sible. Leave the land rough and next
spring harrow thoroughly. This
work may be done in alfalfa fields
this fall with the alfalfa ~renovator or
spike-tooth disk, followed by a
straight tooth harrow next spring.
The grasshopper bulletin, which
gives this information In detail, to-
gether with many illustrations, should
be in the hands Of every farmer who
anticipates trouble.
