ALBANY May IS Adjutant General
Charles White Berry will meet in New
York cjtl tomorrow with brigade com
manders of the State Guard for discus
sion OF the operation Of the new boxing
law IN respect to state armories.
Indications are that boxing matches
IN armories will not be permitted until
Attorney General Charles D. Newton
has submitted an opinion wh,thoc or
not the Walker act sets aside the pro
VISIONS o. the state military law, which
expressly provides that no professional
boxing or sparring matches may te
given n eucn state-oWned structures.
General Berry to-day sent notice 10
brigade commanders warning them not
to enter into any agreement at TIE prcs
ent time with boxing promoters for TIE
use of alnories.
There apparently flaw in the wold-
ing OF the Walker boxing bill. In one
section 1T provides that no buildin.
can be used for boxing unless the club
controlling it has a lease for at least
one year. In another section it allows
boxing IN armories subject to military
rules Apparent contradiction is in the
tact that it would not be possible for
any private club or organization to oh
tain lease on a state army.

FARM BUREAU NOTES.
wv. {. Swarner, County AGENT

1000 Attended Tractor Demonstra-
tion.-lt is generally estimated that d
total of 1000 persons attended the
tractor demonstration held by the Holt
County Farm Bureau on the Jake Hin
kle farm, three miles southwest OF
Bigelow, Mo-, on August and o.
Many of these came from adjoining
counties and our neighboring states,
Kansas and Nebraska, across the river
Considering the very busy season and
the location of the demonstration, this
was u splendid attendance.
Seven tractors were entered In the
competitive blowing contest. Each
operator drew for a plot. The plots
for the three bottom plows contained
three acies; those for the two bottom
plows, two acres. Each tractor was
required TO pillow around the plot and
to finish il. A record was kept Of the
time required to pillow the plots, Of the
depth of blowing, fuel consumed and,
after the contest, each plowed plot
was judged by committee Of three
farmers on the quality Of the blowing
The points considered in quality Of
blowing were: Straightness Of fur
rows (l5), covering Of trash 1857, uni
formity Of burrows (2b), pulverization
Of soil 1857, ends (iO).
Despite the fact that every effort
was made to get plots uniform in soil
conditions, the plot drawn by the Sam
son contained considerable more gum
DO than the other plots and was harder
to pillow.
