JOE TUBER IS
OUT FOR CROWN
Flyweight Title Looks Good to
Fastener Who Would Es-
tablish Title in America.

Chicago, March 2.-Joe Tuber is
seeking on behalf of himself and 9TH
er flstiffers too frail in poundage for
the bantamweight division to establish
Officially" q flyweight class in this
country. The hyweight limit 10 112
pounds, and Joe believes there are
enough lads Of this weight to make
such division important in Kingdom.
Joe. in the opion Of numerous east
ern scrap experts, Is the niftiest fell
low on the morning side of the Alle-
that II a fiyweight class is to be es-
tablished and a champion crowned he
is going to measure his dome for a
crown. Not only that but Joe has an
insrowing hunch that he is the ono
lad capable Of lowering the colors Of
Jimmy Wilde, the sensational English
fyweight, who recently polished off
Young Zulu Kid in the twelfth of q
scheduled twenty-round mill in Lon
don. % ~"
If some Of the promoters will inter-
est themselves in the fiyweight possi-
bilities. Joe says hp will lose no time
In this country OF in London. Wilde
at present Is tied up in military ser
vice. but he may be in a position to
get long enough furlough to enable
him to engage in another battle in the
near future. Joe Is willing to meet
Jimmy in London whenever Jimmy
says the word. but he would rather
have such a bout staged in this coun-
try because of the impression fly
weights would make on the general
run Of boxing enthusiasts
.Tuber. just to lend zest to the sit
uation. has laid claim to the f1yweight
championship of America He doesn't
know just what this means, but he be-
lieves it ought to stir up some one
willing to take his self represented title
away from him. Young Izzo Of Chica-
go is considered the best lad under
the bantamweight limit in these parts
and has been trying to get match
with Wilde.

WHITE S0X TO
GET TRAINING
Ball Player and Army Man to
Accompany Squad on Trip
South to Run Drills.

Chicago March 2.-Captain F. r.
Kenney, in charge of recruiting for
the central department Of the army
assigned Sergeant S. w. Smiley to go
with the White Sox to their training
camp. because he is q ball player.
"The players will be taught the es-
sentials for military training" said
Captain Kenney. "and Sergeant
Smiley is the right man for the boys.
he is an all-around ball player in the
bargain. I suppose that one hours
drill day will be enough and this
will give the instructor chance to
get little practice for himself.
Sergeant Smiley will carry with
him a complete army pack and every
piece of the equipment is meant for
business. He will be in uniform at
all times, except whom he dons the
baseball suit. Outside Of the actual
field drill he will naturally give the
of the art of war, and can assure
you that he knows a lot. I am GER
tain that the players will like him,
but at the same time there is no
shirking in the regular army.
In my opinion ball players should
make the finest soldiers in the world.
They already are disciplined besides
being especially fine physical speci-
mems. They will find in the end that
they will have gained added advant-
ages, and they should be better ball
players for having been trained in
military tactics"
1t is the intention of President
Johnson of the American league to
have regular army officers at all the
camps.
Mr.. Johnson yesterday telephoned
from Spencer. Indiana, that regular
army officer had been assigned to the
Red Sox camp at Hot Springs, Ark,
and that Adjutant General Mccain
would undoubtedly authorize officers
for other camps

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
By X. l.. Sloan
Plant Oats for Feeding Purposes.
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH

Plant Oats for Feeding Purposes.
The oat crop is probably the
safest and surest of any of the
standard winter growing crops
for the Louisiana farmers to raise.
Corn is rightfully king of all the
grains owing to it's many uses as
food and it's adaptability to so
many soils and chimes. Whilecorn
is the greatest grain crop, oats
should rank second, nor should
there be any conflict between
between the two, as corn is a
summer growing crop while oats
occupy the land in the winter.
Owing to a severe drouth the
corn crop is very short. Growing
oats is the most practical way to
meet the feed situation next
spring. Every farm, however
small, should have some oats
growing on it. Two acres for
every horse or mule to be fed
should be a minimum.
Good preparation of the land
before sowing will pay handsome
with oats. While the seed may be
disced in on corn or cotton land
without breaking, it will usually
pay to break the land and thor
oughly pulverize a seed-bed be-
fore sowing. Now is the time to
be getting ready to SOW oats.
Smut is frequently bad in oat
fields but can be easily prevent
ed by the use of a little formalin
which is sold by nearly all drug
stores. Buy one ounce for every
acre to be sowed and put in two
gallons of water. Spread two
and one-half bushels of oats
(enough for one acre. ON the floor
and sprinkle the formalin water
on, stirring to moisten all the
grains. There are plenty of good
seed oats in Grant Parish, If
you do not know where seed may
be obtained call on the Parish
agent.
