OUT especially in developing effective
machinery for aiding in the destruction
OF weevils in the fall and also for a
better cultivation of the crop.
1t is estimated that boil weevils now
cause to the cotton industry a loss of
4OO'OQO bales of cotton annually. AL
though farmers in older regions, in
many cases, are increasing their pro-
auction, there is loss in the newly in
rested regions which offsets that gain.

Weaned pigs need good concentrates
that are rich in muscle and bone
making material to insure thrifty de-
velopment. Accustom them to their
feed gradually, as overlooking will
readily produce securing. From ten
to twelve days are essential in getting
young pigs adjusted to the change.
However, they should be fed lightly
at least three times daily during this
time.
The following rations are good for
young pigs: CD Skim milk and wheat

These are the main points of the
formula set out in Farmers Bulletin
S4S, "The Boil NVeevil Problem" by
which larger war crops of American
cotton can be grown without increas-
ing. and possibly by decreasing. the
present acreage in this crop.
Some of the measures are not new
in principle. They are old methods
which, modified and improved, have
stood the test of years. They represent
plain and practical farming methods,
and, although they may appear less at
tractive than many of the fantastical
panaceas which spring up from time
TO time in cOttOn-grOwing sections,
they are sound and reliable. Individu-
ally, they are effective in checking the
ravages of the weevils and collective
~ they offer practical system which.
If followed carefully, will insure a
crop in spite Of this pest. The system
may have to undergo slight modifica-
tons to meet local conditions. For
example, in some localities hand pick
ing of weevils and infested squares !
at times may prove a profitable meas
ure.

Of the cotton belt. Eastern planters
must expect a more serious problem
than that which confronted the farm

MANNER OF HANDLING SlLAGE
When Time for Feeding Top Layer,

RemoVed-Heap Top Level.
Clemson College Bulletin,

When the time comes for feeding
silage the top layer, which will be
found to be nodded, should be re-
moved. The nodded part usually ex-
tends for several inches below the
surface. At least two inches Of silage
should be fed each day in order to
prevent the formation of the, mold.
The top of the silage should be kept
level so as TO expose the smallest sur
face possible to the air. Only enough
silage for one feeding should be put
out, as it soon dries out if not fed at
once.

Columbus, O.. September 2S.--Colum- bus Grand Circuit meeting came to a close this afternoon when the seventh and deciding heat of the 2:13 trot was raced on a track little slow because of night of rain.
 Judges who had taken charge of Doris Watts after her sixth heat sus- picious drive of Thursday placed c. l.. Floyd behind her today instead of Guy Lee and she won the race. Peter Da1- las finished second and Mendosa third. in the seventh heat.
 The time of the mile was 2:11A At the conclusion of the race the judges fined Driver Lee s10O for not trying to win. Owner George Slaughter of Detroit also was fined $1O0 for collision, while c. L. Floyd was awarded S100 out of Doris Watts winnings for driving the final heat.
 Not sufficient evidence was found to merit any punishment for Driver Al Stout in the 2:15 trot of Wednes- day when he did not win with Lotto Watts and the charges against him were dropped.

SOUTHERN ELEVENS PLA Y FIRST GAMES

Atlanta, September 2s.-Games be- tween several teams of the leading universities and colleges and elevens representing smaller institutions in in- tercollegiate athletics will ina1gurate the 1917 football season In parts of the south tomorrow Among the ma jor elevents that have schedules are Auburn and Georgia Tech The former will meet Marion Military institute at Auburn, while Tech will furnish some thing of a novelty in football by play ing a double header" with Wake forest, N C.. and Furman. s.

 Doubt is expressed In many quarters as to the quality of football that may be expected this season owing to the serious loss of veterans In the camps of the major elevens. The war and it's consequent call upon scores of gridiron players. whom coaches had relied upon to carry their respective teams to victory has upset general prospects throughout the south that probably never before In this section has there been such an insoluable enigma as to the outcome of the cham pionship race when Thanksgiving Day has arrived.

bat, on the bases or in the field. When his coaching signals are followed, how 1 ever, and the play falls flat the Giants | manager accepts the blame without the
 slightest hesitation or effort to pass the responsibility to those under him.
 Of the many stars who have played
 under McGraw very few indeed have been accorded the privilege of acting upon their own initiative or judgment, Christy Mathewson, now manager of the Cincinnati Nationals, being one of these notable exceptions. When McGraw has occasion to reprimand a player he does not mince words He has the quick temper of the Celtic race and the will lingness and ability to back up his words and actions with deeds, if neces- sary, with the result that in days gone by players who resented McGraw's man agerial methods were frequently at odds with the field general of the Giants.
 EXACT CONTRAST
 Rowland's characteristics and system are in sharp contrast to those of Me- Graw. Although exceedingly active on the coaching lines, he never loses his calm judgment and is extremely quick to perceive and diagnose the innumer- able situations that are constantly ar1s- ing upon the battlefield of baseball. His instructions to the players appear to take the form of suggestion or advice rather than sharp command. Rowland is diplomatic to the extreme in handling the members of the club and achieves the desired results by suave manner and a personality which is rather un- usual on the diamond. The White Sox leader is, nevertheless, shrewd judge of ball players and their ability and can, when necessary, speak out sharply in defense of his demands or rights.
 Rowland is also ably supported and assisted by Coach William C'Kid') Glea- son and Owner Charles Comiskey These two veterans of the game are closer to the age and day of McGraw, and are probably as well versed in the general intricacies of the sport as tho latter. Gleason, in particular, is of the driving type of coach who demands that the players be up on their toes all the time and in perfect physical condition He supplies a counterbaance to Rowland, while Comiskey, as a result of his many years in the game as player and mag nate, has insight which Is lacking in many big league club owners Thus the trio form a combination which Is unique in addition to being effective In handling the players according to meth ods demanded by their various tenn peraments
 Rowland has two pennants to ms credit, having managed the Peoria club of the IIinois-Iowa- Indiana league, and the Chicago Americans when these teams finished first in their respective circuits. Since joining the New York Nationals in 1908 as manager, McGraw's 8 teams have won five pennants and one world series, and lost three other strug- gles for the premier honors of the base ball world. It can be seen, therefore, that, although Rowland has had less experience i'll world series play than Me- Graw, he can tie the latter's winning record in this department of the game by bringing about the downfall of the Giants in the coming contests.
