RISON TEAM
 |5 AGAIN
 VICTORIOUS
LOCALS TAKE BEARDEN TO
 CLEANING IN SLOW CONTEST.

The Junior class basket ball team of the local high school defeated the Junior team of the Bearden High school, 20-to15, in close game here Friday afternoon.
 The game was slow on account of the large number of fouls committed, but was said by many of the spec tators tohave been the most inter esting played here this season. The players had to scrap every minute as neither team had a very large lead at any time during the game.
 Rison owes its victory to the con- sistent playing of Overton, Mosley, and Morgan. The Bearden team had the locals outclassed on size and weight and owes it's defeat to their inability to cover their opponents at crucial times, and to their playing on a strange court.
 The fans were surprised but grati. fled at the remarkable playing throughout the game of Mosley, the midget of the junior team. Soor after the beginning of the game ht made a spectacular field goal to tho utter dismay and astonishment of hi. guard. Other features were a long field goal from side-center by Over  ton and strong offensive playing o1 Morgan. Coach Walker, with tho permission of the Bearden coach, wa: compelled to use Morgan, senior

 The Bearden boys did some good playing but the all around playing of Womack and Williams were the features of their team. Near the end of the game they took 3 spurt and made two field goals in lightning rapi- dity.
 Local people who witnessed the game were favorably impressed with. the high-minded gentlemanly conduct of Coach Bradley and the Bearden players on the court and after the game.

New York.-The thought of deep
scars left upon the land in France
and Belgium by the trenches Of the
allies and their foes has been one of
the gloomiest Of postwar reflections.
To those who have feared that per-
manent harm to the agriculture of the
war-tOrn areas would result, the
special report made to the American
Committee for Devastated France
recently by Hal b. Fullerton, agricul-
tural director of the Long Island rail-
road. will come as a relief. For in it
Mr.. Fullerton declares that the
trenches and shellhOles have accom-
plished the one thing dearest to the
farmers heart-deep blowing.
IF farmer here In America" said
Mr.. Fullerton to reporters recently,
manages to pillow to depth Of four
inches he thinks he has done exceed
ingly well. For the most part, he gets
down two inches. The best ever done
In this country is nine. Now what
has happened in France? Trenches
eight to ten feet deep, shellhOles and
mined areas from fifty to hundred
feet in depth and often 200 feet square
have brought to the surface, without
disturbing it. the deep soil, containing
valuable minerals of which the top
soil, used for generations, has been
depleted. Added to these minerals is
the organic matter furnished by the
fertilization of dead beasts. Thus the
upheaval wrought by the trenches ac-
tually represents the type of cultiva-
ton advanced by practical agricul-
tural experts in America and England.
II remember one former battlefield
where the trenches had been filled in
and wheat planted. The lines of
trenches-French on one slope and
German on the other-could be clearly
distinguished because the wheat grow
ing over them was higher than the
rest and had rich green color that
showed 1t to be the best In the field.
1t was plain example Of deep plow-

Luxuriant Vegetation In Shell Holes.

Another theory that Mr.. Fullerton
has exploded Is that Of the great harm
done to the soil by chlorine gas Sc

contrary, he declared, If 1t has an,

Mr.. Fullerton was full OF enthusiasm
over the French genius for farming
While amused by some of the anti
quated tools and methods the peasants
employed, such as hoes with eighteen
inch handles. forcing the user to bend
his back at right angles as he works
and obsolete scythe sharpeners, he
failed to find that conservatism and
distrust of new things with which the
Frenchman Is so generally credited.
He told Of introducing to some Of them
the wheeled hoe, or automatic seeder,
a device that may be used for all sorts
of work. from narrowing to weed
cutting.
Il took 1t out to a field" he said,
'where some of the French were work
ing, and started in with it. None of
them came up to look-they are too
canny for that-but l could see them
watching every motion out of the
corner Of their eyes. A few days later
one old man decided to try 1t, and
soon he was getting SO much more
done In day than the rest that he
was the talk of the town"
