 George Dwyer, matchmaker of the club, has promised McCabe a match with 'tRed' Allen if he wins decis- ively over Murray and as it is ono of the ambitions of Mikes life to stack up against the Bridgeport light weight star. It is a certainty thai the fighting Irishman'' will enter the ring at the Casino on the night of July with nothing short of destruc- ton in his eyes.

HORNSBY SUPERIOR
 IN ALL AROUND PLAY

Among the favorite indoor sports at the present time seems to be dis cussing the relative merits of Rogers Hornsby and Babe Ruth, the year'S sensations of the National and Amer ican Leagues. respectively.
 For steady. consistent batting and fielding, Hoornsby is unQuestionably the superior of the two, in most peo- p1e's estimation. His batting average is we'll above Babes, and his work in the field is far better. However, Babe possesses the advantage of being an extremely dangerous batter a man feared by the best pitchers in his league for his ability to hit the ball great distances on very frequent oc- casions. No pitcher ever faces Babe without a cold fear in his heart that Babe will slam the pill for circuit drive. This fear is particularly cur rent when several men are on the bases.
 From the owners standpoint Babe is by far the more desirable of the two stars, since his playing is the more sensational and appeals more to the fans, all of which means more l money in the jeans of said owners.

feet 5-4 inch while in 1911 Gruunpe1t and Porter tied with 6 feet 3 inches and Johnstone in 1912 registered the same figures in winning the national honor.
 Compared with Olympic figures for the triumphant leap IIandon, on form, should make good'' at Antwerp. The Olympic record is held by A. w. Rich ards of Brigham Young University, 6 feet 3.9 S:nches, a small fraction of an inch short of Landons Philadel- phia effort. Porter of America cap tured the event in the London Olym-
 pics with a jump of feet inches, a full inch less than Iandon's best leap. However, it is not at all certain of course that Landon would duplicate his intercollegiate performance were he to compete in the Antwerp Oym- pics Take the case of Horine. This wonderful athlete, picked by all to win at Stockholm. fell down badly due to one cause or another and was only able to win third place with 6 feet 2 2-5 inches.

Urges Trial of Kanred
Wheat in South Dakota

3rockings,S. d., July ia much
wider trial of the variety of winter
wheat known as Kanred, especially IN
The southeast quarter Of the state, is
urged upon South Dakota farmers by
Manley Champlin, extension agrono-
mist at State college. Kanred was
developed by Professor Roberts at the
Kansas Experiment Station at Man
haitian from a selection in a field of
ordinary hard winter wheat, common
ly known as Turkey Red.
The South Dakota State College Ex-
rCriment Station secured small lots
of Kanred from Kansas three years
ago and placed the variety ON trial in
comparison with other kinds of wheat
at the Brcokings and Highmore ea-
pertinent firms. kanred was not ex~
olcted TO prove as hardy as Dakota
grown Turkey Red wheat, but contr-
airy to expectations this new variety
dDle JDEOuSU inc "lnJcI Win bCttSi
stand than the Dakota grown Turkey
Red and made a better yield. In the
year 1919 it made an especially good
chowing. At Bookings, where spring
wheat was nearly a failure on account
OF rust. scab, etc, Kanred yielded
ABOUT 20 bushels per acre. AT High
r9ore, where the best spring wheat
produced about 20 bushels per acre.
Ksnred yielded nearly 30 bushels.
I'm view of the fact that Kanred has
proved hardy for three winters at
IIighmore and Brookings, 1t seems
worthwhile to give it a much wider
trial. Five to ten acres of this variety
may be planted on a large number or
farms Under present conditions the
man who attempts to grow Kanred
winter will risk about S. per acre in
the hope of securing an increased
Weld of about 10 bushels of wheat per
acre.

South Dakota's Milk Output
For Year Worth $3O,OOO,OO0

Brookihgs, S. d., July Figures
gathered by the state dairy Expert
show that last year in the state OF
South Dakota there were produced
approximately 955, 400. 900 pounds of
milk worth in round numbers 100000
OOO This represents an increase in
the production of milk of 80 per cent
in the last five years. In order to
transport last year production of
milk it would require $4,000 freight
cars. each with a capacity of 10000
pounds. This would make 1900 trains
OF 20 cars each.
Last year 29,56S.S24 pounds OF
creamery butter were made from
South Dakota cream as against 22.-
PIG, 1862 pounds in 1914. In addition to
the creamery butter it is estimated
that there were 100000 pounds OF
dairy butter manufactured in 1915.
The ice cream business is increas-
;ie still more rapidly, having increas-
cd from a value OF s270.000 in 1914
TO better than a million dollar indus
