 B A. c. officials have not fully de- cided whether to send the team to the national tournament in Atlanta or not. If the club quintet can win two of the three remaining games on the schedule it is probable that Birming- ham will get a whack at the title, as the B.

ETutsell has been working his team hard the past week and the locals should be able to duplicate their feat l,of ten days ago and win again from the university boys. However, a hard fight is expected. as the Crimsons wiD have the advantage of their own court.
 The next game after today's is the A. & M clash, which will take place at the B. A c. Friday night. The game with Auburn the first of next week will wind up the local club s schedule and the national tournament will then be on deck.

In fact the grips are laid down as

THE MODERN MACHINE
DESERVES ALL PRAISE.
Those who went up against the dry
farming proposition before there was
any machinery adapted to it had a
hard road to travel. All praise to the

Wheat is tremendously drouth resis-

to mechanical farming than any other,

Apart from combines getting wheat
into the sack, half a dozen operations
are required. Even heading, though
more rapid than binding leaves the
grain dangerously exposed after te-
dious gathering in barges of short
stuff that lends itself poorly to forking
or shoveling.

The Savage Combine, referred 20
in the above article, is the last word
in harvester perfection. The design is
such that the Savage Tractor not only
furnishes the power for operating the
Combine but also propels the machine
and draws the grain wagon-making

daily bread comes from soil Of low

ly adapted machinery makes produc-

"The first combines, that is harvest
ers and threshers, drawn over the
wheat fields were inaugurated before
the days Of gasoline and the explo-
sive engine. Thirty or more head of
stock were required to operate them.
Eastern people even when shown
pictures of these machines attributed
them to western Imagination, illus
trated Pigments. The machines work
ed, however, and the next step was to
operate the threshing and cutting part
of the operation by the gasoline en-
gine. Even now, that many of the
machines are drawn by tractors, they
are still operated by separate engines
while others like the Savage made in
Denver are self contained. With a
horse drawn binder, clogging often
occurs because when the teams pace
is increased for the operation of the
machine, the amount Of cut is also
icnreased, for the binder horses fur
nish the best traction, gasoline the
best rotary power to cut and bind.
CUTTING AND BINDING
TOO COMPLICATED.
Cutting and binding entails too
many operations for light crops over
wide acreage. The combines clipping
merely the heads can save short grain
that would be lost to the binder. The
Savage cuts rod wide with two belts
feeding the clipped grain to the cen
trail elevator.
"It is easy enough to make working
models of such machines, even to get
them to work when the grain is dead
rip and dry, but many conditions are
to be met if crops are to be saved that
otherwise would not pay to cut.
"The field near the Phipps home had
been badly blown out. The grain was
ripe, but not dead ripe, and there had
been showers the night before so that
it was slightly tough. Though the
grain was fair, though short what
little there was of it, the weeds were

cities this problem is of especial i'm

crowded living conditions entailed,

and epidemics would run rampant,
not to speak of the unsightly appear

The general refuse. for which the
community must provide a method
for collection and disposal, may, for
convenience be separated into five
classes. viz: ashes. garbage. rubbish

rials must be brought to some central

means of carriage. In the larger cities
there are usually some means OF sep

the United States to stand at the

was rejected and future historians
will refer to the last two years as the
time of the great conspiracy. We

distinct commercial value, from the
by-prOducts obtained from it.. Ir
some localities it is merely treated

But in many cities considerable rev.
enue may be derived from the sale OF
the by-products. The garbage after
the undesirable materials have been
removed (glass, ashes and metallic
refuse) is put into large tanks and
cooked for several hours with steam.
The oils and fats rise to the top and
are skinned off. BY another process

naphtha is re-condensed and used
over again. The oils and fats so re-

grease. The remaining "tankage" is
pressed. dried, and used as base for
fertilizers or as a fuel This tank

per cent of ammonia and some COM
mercial ammonia is manufactured
from this.
Street sweepings are the waste ma
terials collected in the city streets,
and is composed generally of every
conceivable kind of rubbish and
waste materials, scattered by care
less public. The sweepings contain
two constituents of value, namely,
manure and paper, and in some cities
considerable amounts OF leaves. The
paper and organic refuse may be sep
arated from the rest of the rubbish
and converted into paper or fertli-
izer. But such materials are gener-
ally burned in the incinerators.
The methods of separation and
utilization of the by-products entail
considerable expenditure in equip
ment and labor which makes ii NOT
a financially safe proposition unless
there is considerable garbage or
waste products to be utilized. The
most successful plants for small
cities or communities are the incin-
orators. These operate directly upon
the waste material or by an admlx-
ture with some other combustible
material and if properly designed and
operated are very successful. The
heat realized is generally used, pro
vided there is enough. for making
electricity or operating machinery.

is not satisfactory always. especially
