Football is much the same game in all sections of the country. There is put little difference in systems and methods of play. The east has been by more good teams than she south or the west simply because the students in the larger institutions li this section have had more thor ass,h training in the rpdiments of the a4ne in preparatory schools than the laIyers in other sections of the eoun- rJ It has also been possible for them 5 see more big games and, by obser- ton learn the best ways of doing e various duties required of a player.

same manner parSnips or turnips.

Turnips require a rich soil and may
be grown either as an early or late
crop. For late crop, it is customary
to SOW the seeds broadcast on land
from which some early crop has been
removed. In the North. this is gen
orally done during July or August
but the usual time is later in the
South. The plants are quite nardy and
the roots need not be gathered until
after several frosts. They may then
be stored in cellar or buried in a
pit outside. Before storing, the tops
should be removed. If an early crop
is desired. the seed should he Sown in
drills twelve to eighteen inches apart
as early in tho spring as the condi-
ton of the soil will permit After
the plants appear they are thinned to
about three inches. Two pounds of
seed are required 10 plant an acre.
The rutabaga is quite similar to the
turnip and is grown in much the same
way. 1t requires more space, how
ever, and a longer period for its
growth. 1t is used to a considerable
extent for stock feed and has the
advantage of being quite hardy.
