COUNTY AGENT is GOOD
Progressive Farmer Says Adolf
ton of Office Is False Ec0nmy.

The following editorial, ably de-
scribing the situation of the coun-
ty agents office in Mississippi in
| the face of financial difficulties,
and which also states that real
! county agent can earn for his
county many times more than his
salary, was printed in the Pro-
gressive Farmer on February IL,
1921.
Discovering Mistake"
| Some counties where officials
felt that it was necessary, in face
of the grave business conditions,
to economic by dispensing with
the county agents, are now dis
covering that this was a serious
mistake.
Face to face with the necessity
of diversifying without the exact
knowledge of what crops to plant
or how to go about planting them !:
with the absolute necessity of cut
ting the cost of production from
one-half to two-thirds below that
of last year not knowing just how
to reduce this cOstcutting without
reducing the yield; with the i'm
portance Of selling every farm
nroduct at the highest possible
price without definitely organi-
zed cooperative selling associa-
ton; with the desire to increase
the livestock on the farm without
a thorough knowledge of breeding
care, and feeding and Of disease
control, with the will to plant
home orchards without the know
| ledge of spraying and pruning
with mortgages or notes falling
due on land and equipment with
out knowledge how to get extern
sions of credit, there has never
been time when county agent
has been so wildly necessary to
farmers of any county in the
South as during this year of un-
certainty.
Much as they desire to do SO,
county authorities cannot econo-
mize by cutting off their agent,
for this is not economy. They
save some few thousand dollars
that 90 to pay the salary, but they
rob the county Of from ten thous-
and to several hundred thousand
dollars of income which the coun-
ty agent will bring into the county
by his work. No good county
agent should be regarded as an
expense, but as a productive agen-
cy that brings in wealth to the
rounty many times over his sala-
ry every year. It is all right to
economic, but care should be
taken not to economic by cutting
off the source of supplies"

PROPOSE FARM BUREAU.
Farmers Will Also Discuss Plans
For Potato Warehouse.

County Agent Dan D. Gibson
has called a meeting Of the farm
ers and business men of Holmes
county to meet for the purpose of
organizing a farm bureau. The
matter Of building a centralized
potato warehouse and curing and
storing plant will be taken up and
in all probability it will be erect
ed. The farmers of Holmes coun-
ty who planted largely Of sweet
potatoes are all in prosperous
condition and have no trouble in
disposing of their crop at remun-
erative prices.
One farmer, T. H. Bradley, a
one-armed man, raised the past
year over 500 bushels of yams
which he sold at ST and $3.50 per
bushel. The major portion of the
work was done by himself and he
only cultivated from three to four
acres of his land.

GOD SENT BOIL WEEVIL.
His Penalty for Failure to 1.-THE,
Mrs. LOwrey's Belief.

Mrs. T. C. Lowrey one of the
most faithful Bible students of
Blue Mountain, declares that it is
her opinion that the remedy for
the elimination of the boil weevil
and similar pests in the fields of
the farmers is to be found in the
Bible practice of tithing. She
holds that the Scriptures teach
that those who fail to give one
tenth of their incomes to the cause
of the Lord are robbing God of his
financial rights, and she insists
that she has Bible proof for this
sin God declares He will send a
curse upon the land of such peo-
pie SO remiss in their duties to-
ward Him. Mrs. Lowrey is one of
the most jealous advocates of
tithing to be found in this part of
the state.

quires fancy foot%ork, fancy shots de-
livered with power, and q world of

After the two youngsters finished
their match yesterday they said 80 far as
they knew none of the competitors went
in for any special diet, but that rigid
training was required and that this
training consisted in "hard work" at
court tennis.
Gould Stands Out.
'That's why Jay Gould stands out, q"
was the opinion Of Young Dufton. "He
has his own court, he started right when
he was young, with a professional, and
he's always played hard matches, and
played them for all he's worth.
He knows what TO do with ball in
stinctively where the rest of us might
take random bang at it. He doesn' t
need to spring around lightly on his
feet. He seems to have second nature
as to where he ought to be and he glidcs
into that position without exerting the
effort we do.
II don't think he's the player he was
before the war. Walter Kinsell beat
him recently at Tuxedo. but still
think Gould is long way from being in
danger for his laurels."
The defeat of Joe Moss was disap-
pointment to local fans yesterday. II,

been playing in great style. But hi

Dufton did.

S0UTAR VS.. duff TON
IN COURT TENNIS.
Racquets Champion Plays
Young Boston Rival for Profess
sional Honors at Racquet Club

JOCK Soutar, champion of the world
at racquets, meets Roland Dufton, Bos-
ton Tennis and Racquet Club, in the
second round this afternoon in what Is
said to be the first professional court
tennis tournament ever held.
The play begins at p. m. in the
court tennis arena of the Philadelphia
RACQUET Club, Sixteenth and Walnut
streets, today.
Jock soutar. the favorite to win the
tournament and the right to challenge
jay Gould for the worlds court tennis
championship, won his way into the
second round by defeating Otto Giocker,
of the Boston Athletic Association, yes
terday afternoon, three sets to one.
Dufton plays Soutar today by virtue Of
a three to two sets victory over Joseph
Moss, a youthful star of the local Rae
quct Club.
The winner today will meet ''Punch"
Fairs, former champion, tomorrow for
the professional championship, now
| claimed by Walter Kinsclla, who, how =
ever, is not entered in the present
tourney.
Both matches yesterday were bril-
liant struggles with the ledge" often
in favor of the eventual losers.
Moss and Dufton took the court in
the late morning. Moss started oil
| splendidly taking the five of the first
six games in the first set only to start
medley of misses, which allowed DUFF
ton to run out five straight games ant
the match.
If he had been able to seize any one
of those five games it would have meant
the set and eventually the match, which
Moss would have not won, 3 to !
Moss was guilty of good many errors
but put up snappy contest against
a fine player all the way down to thu
final game of the fifth set, where Duf
ton really put the set and match or
ice with a clean cut score to the dedans
The scores were 6-5, 3-G, 60, St
and 6-1.
Tho Soutar- -Glocker match saw bril-
liant shots, which often carried tn,
games to deuce and saw a number o
rousing rallies. Glocker, who defeated
Dufton recently, aims to get the bal
back and let the other fellow make th'
errors.
His style was successful. in a way
but Soutar was too clever and played
n great game. forcing quantities o

The scores were Ga, 4-6, Ga an,
6-2. Glocker played a fine game of
the floor and stuck to his particular
style throughout, or he would probabl,
have been much more severely beaten

UMP|RES WIN FIRST
DECISION OF lands
Head Of Organized Baseball
Fixes Worlds Series Pay
Of Arbiters

Chicago, Jan. 14.--The advisory
council representatives Of major and
minor leagues held a conference with
Judge Lands yesterday and began
drafting rules. Slight alterations were
maded in the code governing the world
series. the most notable change being
that the four umpires in the big games
of the future will divide sum equal to
one winning and one losing player
share. In the past the arbiters have
been paid fiat sum of $1,000 each for
their services, but this arrangement was
not satfactory to them.
1t also was decided to increase the
commissions assessment from the post
season battle. Under the old agreement
the commission took 10 per cent of the
gross to help defray operating expenses.
In the future the deduction will be ID
per cent. This increase may help
bit in meeting Judge Landis' S42,oOO
salary and the $500 or $4,000 that will
pay for the services of secretary =
treasurer to be selected by the judge.
Among the matters discussed by judge
and the advisory board consisting 0i
Messrs. johnson and Heydler, prcsi
4 dents of the American and National
! Leagues respectively; NJ. II. Sexton,
president of the minor association, ant
John ii. Farrell, secretary of the same
body, were rules to promote co-opera
ton in carrying out provisions OF thu
new agreement, procedure for settling
differences between the major ant
minors, and plans for presentation o
disputes arising between leagues of th
same classification.
Although Judge Landis maintainc'
discreet silence on the subject, it wa
whispered about that he would appoin
Farrell as secretary. Farrell has acte'
as secretary for the minor association
for the last twenty years, so NATURAL!

UTT's great to see the young fellows

NTTS great to see the young fellows
coming along, and wasn't it a
sizzling match2"
That's the way Fred Tompkins,
referee and pro at the Racquet Club,
Sixteenth and Walnut streets, expressed
himself ut the finish of the court tennis
first round match between Roland
Dufton, Boston Tennis and Racquet
Club, and Joe Moss, the local
youngster.
Dufton won an exciting FIVE e-set
tusssle which was .anybody's match up
to almost the last smash, three sets
to two.
The winning Bostonian, who Is op-
posing Jock Soutar, worlds racquets
champion, this afternoon in the second
round of the tourney, has three main
assets.
He's twenty four years old, he has a
winning game, and he has red hair,
in the order mentioned.
Furthermore, Dufton is a real enthu =
siast over the game, is going to stick
to it and feels that court tennis has
it all over every other variety of
tennis.
Best Game
Court tennis" stated Dufton, while
watching Jock S0utar trounce Otto
Glockner yesterday afternoon" is the
greatest game played. 1t Is the Oldest
and the original tennis game. 1t is
tennis.
II have played lots of lawn tennis
and other varieties with a racquet ant
ball, but give me court tennis every
time. There's more to it, There's
more science in court tennis than al
the rest combined.
"After all, lawn tennis is a matter
of getting the ball back and forth ovei
the net in a restricted area. Once thu
ball gets you, you're done.
"But the net in court tennis doesn'
figure so much. and a passed ball mean
less for you then get it as it bounce
back from the wall. There are innum
cradle ways of scoring points in cour
tennis"
Different Spin
Dufton stated that the method o
stroking n court tennis ball differe
radically from that used in lawn tennis
more of chop stroke than laying til
racquet over" the ball as in the outdoo
game. In other words, the popula
court tennis stroke aims for backspiI
while outdoors the ovcrspin prevails.
Court tennis is played with n smalle
racquet than the outdoor weapon, an
with hard, cloth ball slightly smaller
It's played within four cement wall
with various openings. to connect wit
which figures in the scoring. The ba
is taken on the rebound from the wall
and SO forth, usually from highly com
plicated positions. It's game that re
