Cow peas and soy bean seed are
scarce which will naturally cut the
acreage. However, scarce as they
are, some should be planted to save
seed from. Due to the scarcity of
seed, they should be planted in rows
and cultivated. One bushel of soy
beans should plant three acres by
placing rows 80 inches apart. The
same for peas and ordinarily as
much hay can be cut as when sowed
at the rate of bushel and half to
the acre and no cultivation.

In the planting of bottom land to
corn and other crops it would be a
good policy to follow the planter
with a single shovel, making an open
furrow half way between the plant
er tracks. This would insure good
drainage if rains continue as they
did last year and if continued dry
no harm would be done. During
warm spells corn usually comes out
of the ground on the fifth day. To
harrow field before corn is US,
which is a good practice, it should
be done on the fourth day.

Jack Johnson, in his efforts to re- gain recognition as a comeback" pugilist,s insists:
 "A negro is a good fighter at any age, He's still going strong long after the white champion has faded into the discard"
 There's considerable truth in John sons assertion, and there's some truth, too, in his added statement:
 The negro who really was good ringman was so good that no white fighter ever has eclipsed him in skill and in accomplishment"
 Johnson declares that of all the little men that ever drew on glove that none was greater than George Dixon, long the king of feathers; that Joe Cans was the most wonderful light weight of all time; that Joe Wolcott never has had an equal in the welter- weight class; that Sam Langofrd was the greatest light heavyweight; that Peter Jackson was miracle man among the heavies. And I wasn't such an awful slouch either" says the once-time cham piOn.

DIXON A WIZARD

"Dixon was a wizard-the greatest man of his weight that ever drew on a boxing glove" exclaimed Johnson "He fought em all-and he whipped 'em all He started his career back in 1886 and he was going fairly well right up to the time that he retlred, even though he was sick for the last few years.
 "Dixon was champion for nearly ten years-and what great champ that little negro fellow was. But he was probably no more marvellous a fighter than Joe Cans There was boy-oh, what a wizard!
 Cans khew everything about box ing that anyone else ever knew-anj whole lot more. He was deadly hitter game right through; he was the most scientific lightweight of all time and he was a ring marvel forfeight- cen years.
 Cans was thirty four before he loss the title. And he lost then only pe- cause he nearly killed himself trying to make weight for Battling Nelson If that boy had gone into the battle with Nelson without nearly training down to a skeleton, it wouldn't have been a fight-just slaughter of the Durable Dane.
  negro champions. There never was a welter like Joe. He wasn't a marvel in skill, but how he could hit! He weighed only 142 when he knocked out Joe Choyinski-the same Callfor- mia heavyweight who knocked me cold in three rounds during the early part of my career.
 Size and weight of his rivals never bothered Joe. He was just as willing to fight six-footers and 20o-pounders as he was to take on men of his own weight. He met 'em-and they all took a terrible beating from Joe.
 "Wolcott was eighteen years old when he fought his first fight. He was thirty-nine when he quit the ring in 1911. Between whiles he fought sew eral hundred men-and every one a tough opponent.
 Don't forget sammy Langford-an- other great hitter another wonder There never was a white man within thirty pounds of Samny's weight, that he couldn't whip when he was at his best And long after he got fat and slowed up and quit training for fights he was polishing off men who were giants in comparison with him.

For that boy could knock em dead with a single punch-but nobody was able to knock him over.
 Peter Jackson is said by old-timers to have been one of the greatest war riors of all time. He took on everybody that would fight him and tried for years to get John L.

Panther Nine To Clash With Pups On Munger Field

Munger field will be the scene of hostilities when the rival aggrega tions of Birmin gham- Southern and Howard take the field in the fourth argument of the series for the colle- giate championship of the Magic City this afternoon. The fracas is scheduled to start at S:30 o'clock
 Rain postponed the scheduled per formance between the ancient foes last Monday afternoon, but if Jupiter Plu- vius and his cohort of celestian col leagues give their consent the two clans of ball tossers will mix affairs in the Panthers' lair today. The Meth odists wal attempt to entertain their visitors royalty by annexing the ar gument and thus tieing the count in number of games won. Howard has chalked up a duo of victories to their opponents lone win, and the Baptists are anxious to end the series favorable to their followers by taking today's encounter.
 The opposing hurlers for the after noons entertainment will probably be Ingram for the Bulldogs and either Freeman, Speer or Malone for the Panthers. The star right-hander of Coach Dillons staff will likely draw the assignment over King, but the Panther mentor is doubtful who he will start. Either one of the three named twirlers may mount the hill and at tempt to turn back the Baptist attack,
 The two squads are in excellent trim for the battle after week Of hard practice. Both coaches have put their diamond warriors through strenuous work -outs.
 If the Partners score victory over the Bulldogs this afternoon and sec ong contest is necessary to decide the series, the game will probably be played on Eagles field Tuesday, after noon.

THREE CORNERED FIGHT IN IVA TIONAL LEAGUE FOR THE LEADERSHIP
Cleveland Indians Are Setting Hot Pace in the Ameri can-Cincinnati Team Falling Into Slufnp-Bagby
 and Alexander Have Won Eight Straight

New York, May 23.-A three-cor- nered fight for first place in the Ma tional League between Pittsburg, Gin cinnati and Brooklyn has been brought about by the winning spurt of the Pirates, who now lead by one game. Cleveland is setting a fast pace in the American League race, closely fol- lowed by Boston and Chicago, both of which recovered some of the ground lost the previous week.
 Pittsburg has won six of it's last seven games through steady pitching and timely batting. The same com bination has kept the Cleveland Amer jeans ahead of their rivals.
 The Cincinnati worlds champions dropped from the lead because the Red batters failed to hit with men on bases. The pitching staff was effec- tive, except against Boston today. Brooklyn also has been hitting lightly, the Superbas' pitchers keeping the team near the top.
 Chicago, whose winning streak was interrupted at seven straight, con ftfnues to pound the ball. Alexander won his eighth consecutive victory. St. l ouis has shown to better advantage against the eastern clubs with the ex- ception of Brooklyn. Boston and Philadelphia lacked scoring power to offset the large scores made off their pitchers. The Braves won their third game in the west today, Scott blank ing Cincinnati.
 The Cleveland Americans faltered somewhat in fielding last week, but batted in double figures in all games except one, when they were blanked by Shawkey of New York. Martin of Philadelphia won over Covaleskie to- day. Bagby of the Indians increased his record to eight straight victories. The Boston pitching staff appears to
