GASOLINE KILLS DANDELIONs

Prof S. J. Hunter, of the Univer-
sity of the city of Lawrence to the
fact that a small spoonful or two of
gasoline poured upon the crown of
the dandelin plant will make it curl
up and die, clear down to the very tip
of its usual twenty feet or SO of root
According to Professor Hunter, the
gasoline method is the best one known
for clearing a lawn of dandelions as it
kills the weeds entirely. Merely cut
ting off the crown, which is commonly
done in attempting to dig the dande-
lion out, does not kill the root except
that part taken out and the remaining
part soon springs into life as new
plant. The gasoline method also has
an advantage over the digging meth
cd in that it does not break the soil
and make a landing place for seed
carried by the wind from other lawns.
The gasoline must be applied di-
rectly to each plant. The method has
been tried out successfully this sea-
son on Professor Hunters lawn where
three gallons of gasoline were re-
quired to clear a space of about 100
square feet that was badly infested.

KICK ON THREsHING SCALE

The threshing men at their meet
ing at Manhattan set the price for
threshing this year at AZ cents per
bushel. Many farmers aound here be-
1ieve the price exhorbitant and that
this price together with what it takes
to get the grain in the stack Will
about absorb their profits. This price
will be the means of bringing in many
small separators which will be at
tached to the tractors and the work
done at leisure by the farm crew. It
is estimated that the threshing ex-
pense on 1000 bushels of grain will
pay for one of these small separators.

Western Kansas may have a

These worms are species of the cut

they lie in the shade cool spots.
They be poisoned with the same

the same way but it should be spread

WHEN TO CULTIVATE CORN

The best answer to the question of
how frequently corn should be cult
waited, say specialists of the Depart
nent of Agriculture, is that it should
be cultivated often enough to keep
down weeds and to maintain cons tanr-
~ loose soil mulch till the corn has
attained its growth. To this end a
greater number of civilizations will be
necessary when rains at intervals of
about a week cause the surface soil
to run together and crust. This crust
must be broken and the soil mulch
restored, or excessive run-off and
evaporation will soon rob the soil of
its moisture.
Promptness in restoring the soil
mulch after rain is important. With
double cu1tivators widened and by
driving astride each alternate row,
the mulch is restored in half the
time necessary to drive astride of
every row.

Chairman Of Wisconsin Commits
sion Orders Investigation Of
Last Nights Bout

Milwaukee. Oct. 2I.-lnvestigatiOn
of the Lew Tender Joe yelling bout
here last night was ordered by Chair
man Walter Liginger, Of the Wisconsin
Boxing Commission, Immediately after
the fight.
Tender won a one sided bout before
a packed auditorium. Tender took nine
rounds out Of the ten, the first being
even. yelling fought a careful fight
and was severely ccnsured by the fans.
Tender made whatever fight there was,
forcing the battle in every round and
twice he staggered yelling with we'll
directed left handed punches. Welling
was in bad way in the tenth. due to
body punches Tender hit yelling al
most at will in the tenth round.
The only reason assigned by Chair
man Liginger for ordering an investiga
tion o. the bout. was that the fight was
slow because yelling was continually
clincting,
The first three rounds were so tame
! that toward the end Of the third th'
referee cautioned the boxers to stof
| clinchng and fight. From that tim(
on Tender carried the fight TO Well
ing and won easily on points,
Tender weighed 134h pounds at
p. IN. and yelling tipped the scales a

Numbering Question Up Again

once more the question of numbering football players
~ has come up and once Yale, Harvard and
Princeton virtually have decided to lay of the labels.
This is because big Three, somebody nicknamed
them feel that players will be discovered enry
in the game if numbers hung their backs and per-
haps have some hard luck.
The public, Of course, would do nothing but vote
unanimously and overwhelmingly in favor of the numbers
The big crowds which attend the annual contests some
times like what is going and the labels would
help considerably.
said that the spectators able to PICK out
the players in the games but this is not true Sometimes
the coaches do know the who are carrying
the ball.
Last Saturday Harvard an assistant manager
rushed into the officials between the halves and
asked breathessly: w
"Who scored the second touchdown for Harvard!
The officials didn't know although they were on the
field
Later two assistant coaches asked the same question:
and the only way it settled by asking Captain
Horween.
NOW. if an assistant manager and couple OF
~ assistant coaches unable TO distinguish the
men ,oith tchon thep associated. tchdt chance

Cridiron Season Seems Short
H,HE football season is almost over and it as it
l. it had Just started. Princeton plays but three more
games Yale and Harvard four and Penn. Pittsburgh

excitement in the November games to satisfy the fans
for a whole year. and then some.

AMATEUR-PRO GOLF MATCHES

Short Tourney Proposed Bet,oist Club Pairs for Empty Days

THERE are still plenty of golfer

dict, as read on the official schedule now
defunct. that the season has ended.
These balmy October days continue
to lure local players to the links. 1t
was the same last year. and to fill in
the void various exhibition, amateur
pro and other contests were staged.
Golfers are discussing more Of the
same. The district club amateur pro
title recently settled over in New York
has brought forth a discussion as to
whether the same in a much shorter
and modified way cannot be played in
Philadelphia over the few week ends
that intervene between now and the
really active season Of Jack Frost, say
Thanksgiving.
The idea is for a club to elect its
best amateur to pair up with the pro
and play other club pairs. The really
good entries for such an event in this
district would probably not exceed eight
clubs.
1t is suggested that eight pairs be
thus drawn for match play 1t would
then take but three rounds or three
Saturdays to decide the winner. but
would make a whole lot of interest and
probably result in widening the scope
Of such a meeting next year.
