WILLARD HAS RECORD
AS A FORTUNE MAKER

| NE 'WYORK, May l6.-When Jess
Willard crawled through the ropes to
| fight Jack Johnson at Havana, April
| D, 1915. he was flat broke.
He didn't possess enough coin OF
the realm to pad the proverbial
crutch, and he knew that If he lost
he would have a tough time getting
oac ktQ the states and paying up
! debts that had accumulated
Less than three years later, last
March. to be exact, Willard was rated
| as the possessor OF a fortune that
ranged between $4,000 and $500, 900
II this isn't a record for fortune
making, when il Is considered that
from the time he faced Johnson until
the present day the big fellow has
| fought only thirty-siX rounds, then
we'll buy the cakes.
Fistic champions of the past in all
other divisions had much harder
| time getting their money. They were
not boosted to the position of chal.
| lengers over night like Willard. And
they had to keep fighting from time
| TO time in order to cash in on the IT,
| ties they had won.
Wizards share for fighting Jack
| Johnson was supposed to have been
! SlO.OOO, but expenses were so great
that Willard did not get a dollar. &C.
cording. to both Tom Jones and Jack
! Curley, his joint managers at the
| time
Then the big fellow "yodeyiilcd"
for while at fat salary, and, fin.
ally, in 1915, he raked in S47.50O for
boxing Frank Moran ten rounds. So.
If ii Is true that Willard was clean as
a Thanksgiving bird when he left
Havana, the money he got for fighting
Moran is the only money he has
earned with his fists. All the rest has
been realized by commcrcializlng his
title.

VELVET BEANS GOOD
FOR MARKET STEERS
Compare FavorabIy With Cotton

Results Given Of Experiments Con-
Quoted At Government Farm
More Profitable TO Feed Soaked
Beans Than 70 Grind Them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
Corn silage and velvet beans are
said 10 form a satisfactory ration for
fattenIng steers for market. This Is
the result OF feeding experiments just
completed ut the United States depart
ment OF agriculture farm at Be1tsviiie,
Nd.
Other points brought oat BY the tests
indicate: that velvet beans compare
favornbly with cottonseed meal, pro-
duclng profitable gains when the beans
are the sole concentrate Of the ration (;
that Il is more profitable TO feed
soa1ed beans than II Ia to grind them I;
and that more beans will be eaten IL
soaked before they are fed than II they
are fed dry.
The. objects OF the experiment were
to compare velvet beans in three forms
whole. ground. and sOaked-syith cot
fonaeed meal as supplements 10 corn
siIage and dry roughages. and 10 de-
termine the most economical forms In
which velvet beans might be fed In fat
fening cattle for market Incidentally
II was hoped that the tests would show
possibilities Of grain conservation in
the production OF beef as wartime
measure.
The cattle used In the tests were
40 good two-year-old steers In which

were bought last February in The East

divided into four lots OF ten steers
each. the lots selected 80 that they
would be as nearly equal as possible
in weight, quality and condition. They
were fed for 112 days.
The average daily ration consumed

If the best results are to be attained
In potato production, greater care must
be given to the development Of high
grade seed potatoes than Is the present
practice. Wherever the climatic and
soil conditions are such as to make II
possible to produce a good quality OF
seed potatoes, each grower should have
his own seed plat. In the selection OF
seed potatoes II should he borne in
mind that the hill rather than the lndi-
vidual tuber Is the unit. The method
which is most certain TO lead TO linz
provement is that of hill selection.
There are various ways OF procedure
in the practice OF hill selection, but
the one most likely to give the best re-
suits is that of marking the best plnnts
in the field or the seed plat before the
foliage begins 10 ripen and digging
them by hand just before harvesting
the main crop.
Examine Each Plant.
The product Of each individual plant
should be examined separately. and
only those that show uniformity in
size and shape and that have produced
maximum number OF merchnntable
tubers should be selected. Each select
ed hill should be given a number,
sacked separately, and careful rec
ord made. The following season the
tubers OF pach selection ehouId Ia
planted separately in order that their
behavior may be noted throughout the
growing season. II win he found that
many Of them possess no superiority
over the general run of field stock. but
few wall be decidedly good. A large
number Of these progeny can be
marked for discard before they are
harvested. AT harvesting time the
progeny OF each promising selection
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1918-10-11

should agnin be studied carefully and
only those which seem 10 possess SUI
nerior merits retained. II II Is possible
10 reduce these 70 one or two. Il Ii de-
sirable to do 80. Further progress
along this line consists in Increasing
the progeny Of the selection or selec-
lions as rapidly as possible. At the
end OF the third season sufficient
quantity should be available TO plant
the field crop. II Is desirable to main
tain a seed plat each year and 10 CON
tinue the process Of hill selection and
the development OF pure strnins. In
order to practice potato selection in
telllgently Il is necessary to have a
true conception OF the type OF the
variety or varieties being used.
Immature Seed.
Relatively few growers In the United
States really mair uin seed plat,
and still fewer practice planting the
seed plat at a considerably later date
than the main crop In order 10 secure
small 20 medlum-sized immature tu-
bers, as IL the custom with many Eng
llsh ana scotch seedsmen. In planting
the seed plat designed for the pro-
duction Of seed for the main crop the
following season. II Is desirable TO
plant two or three-ounce whole tubers.
The use Of whole tubers insures per.
feet stand and a minimum percentage
Of diseased plants. At the same time
as a result OF late planting and the
heavy set produced by whole seed. the
tubers do not attain n large size and
are thus ideal for seed purposes. The
date Of planting the seed plat should
be governed by the locality in whlrt
the potatoes are to be grown. In gen
eral, II might be said that the reed
plat should be planted as late us II Il
