SPRING TRAINING SEASON OF BARONS
 OPENS MARCH 10
With Arrival of MoIey, Base ball Begins in Earnest Here.
 Much Work Ahead

Having established himself firmly in his home for the next eight months, Carlton Molesworth, paronial boss, Is ready to tackle the proposition of giv- ing Birmingham a winning baseball team this year.
 Moley spent yesterday looking up his cid friends and had very lit:Ie time to discuss baseball. He did find time, however, to reiterate his statement of Tuesday, when he i-dil that somebody was going to have to hustle to beat the Barons out of the rag the coming sea- son
 SAP HAS RISEN
 Baseball has begun in earnest .n Bir- mingnam now, for. with the arrival of the chieftain, work Will be pushed for tle spring training season, which will begin on March 10. On that date every candidate for the Baronial team of this year will be in camp and Redwood will be officially opened for the 1921 sea- son.
 The batterymen will not report any earlier than the other candidates it was announced r
 From present indications, there will be at least 35 or 40 players on hand when the training. season opens. About that many have been secured already, uut lHe usual quota or reCTultS 1a1llnEi to report at the last moment must be taken into consideration.
 CONTRACTS NEXT
 One of the very first things to face Molesworth and Billy West. secretary of the club. will be the mailing of con tracts to the Various players who have not already been signed. It is thought that there will be no hold -outs and that every contract will be returned signed before spring training season.
 The exhibition game schedule must pc completed yet The games with Toronto have been closed, and it is ex- pected that others with Louisville. University of Alabama and other, teams will be played.
 As yet no major league club has closed for a game with the Barons, all though Brooklyn and New York will play here on April 1, when the mighty Babe Ruth and the National rag win ners will be seen in action.

Wrestling Is By Far
 Rougher Sport Than
 Boxing, Says Veteran
Bx JAMEs J. CoRBETr

"Pugilism may be little rough, but Iits child's play in comparison wltn wrestling" declares George Bothner' veteran grappler, who has been identi- fled with the mat game for years ana years-and yet moro years.
 Tt has always given me laugh when politicians and so-called reform CTS, shriek aloud about the brutality of fighting and call it the roughest game of all. A pugilist doesn't have to suffer so much in 50 rounds of fight ing. no matter how tough his opponent, as a wrestler does in 25 muintes or grueling struggle.
 Jack Dempsey, perhaps, IS the most terrific hitter the prize ring has pro- duced, He has dealt out blow after blow which have knocked his oppo- nents unconscious or rendered them helpless for a period beyond 10 seconds But in all occasions there have been no after effects and the fighters have really suffered to no great extent.
 '.Dempsey steps in, perhaps hits to the body, then to the jaw. and the show is over Fulton. Miske, Levinsky. Nor ris-most of the mdidn't know it hap pened until 1t was all over. Dempsey hist SO hard that he brings on tenn .porary coma. during which the victim doesn't suffer. Other fighters are not unuick fs,ishers like Dempsey. They don't stop their men so spectacularly. And so the fights are longer. Those boys get bumped and knocked around . little and some of them look bit gory as time goes on. But those boys aren't enduring anything like wrest- Ter must endure.
 "A wrestler, according to most peo- ple can stall around if he wants to. That's true. But the fighters also can stall by clinchiAgf. There may be a little stalling and some resting by the wrestlers between action, but once the other fellow gets toe hold on that wrestler there is no peace and no rest nothing but pain. Those fellows must stand to have their bones almost crushed rather than to give way and yield, so that the other man can toss them on their back.
 The wrestlers who have experienced the headlock for five minutes have gone through more agony than most fighters experience in a lifetime. To have your head held in a vise-like grip. that clyoses tighter and tighter with each passing second--that's terrible punish ment and one that fighter never knows. A fighter. unlike the wrestler isn't always in danger of being mauled to a pudp or of choosing between broken bones and the loss of the match.
 When 1t comes to rough stuff, we'll a wrestler puts up with more of 1t In . single match than some fighters do in 10 years of warfare" 1(Copyright. 1921. by King Features

KILLING CORN WEEvILS WITH
CARBON B|SULPH|DE.

Now is the time for all farmers to
get out their cans OF High Life"
and make war on weevils, grain
moths, and olher pests ofstored grain
EveIy days delay means greater
damage to the corn, peas. or beans,
as a great deal of the corn is infested
with weevils before leaving thefield.
By far the greatest success in fum-
igating is obtaianed in tight walled
cribs and most cribs can be made
tight enough for fumigation at little
eXpeaee. However even where the
walls and floors are not as they
should be, many farmers have had
fairly satisfactory results by leveling
off the corn and covering the top
with tarpaulins or wagon sheets,
which prevents strong downward
currents of air. More carbon bisul-
ph1de is required in such cases and
near the walls many OF the weevils
may not be killed but the results
have usually been amply satisfactory
to justify the fumigation. Under
such conditions it may be necessary
to use not less than a quart of the
liquid for each hundred cubic feet
OF air space Except for the expense
there is no danger of using too much.
Fumigation should be done on a
war IN day as the poison vaporizes
more rapidly and the weevils are
more susceptible to it than on cold
days. The liquid should be evenly
distributed in open cans or vessels
near the top Of the corn. Cases are
on record where the poison was plac-
ed on the floor of the crib through
ignorance. Of course. no results were
obtained. Cribs should be closed for
at least 48 hours and all lights kept
away as the gas is very inflamable.
Shelled corn, peas, or beans in
tight barrels can be easily fnmigated
with a teacup' of bisulphide at the
top of the barrel. The top should be
tightly covered with thick paper or
material for confining gas.
Carbon bisulphide can be obtained
any dsag store. Large quantities
CAN usually be secured at a much
cheaper price, good reason for farm
ers pooling their required amounts
and ordering in steel drums.

igation or any insect pest or plant
diseases. write The State Plant Board

PHILADELPHIA, MISS. THURSDAY. NOV. 10, 1921

the skim milk IL fed to calves, pigs
and poultry, nearly all OF the Is
pounds OF mineral plant food In the
ton of whole milk are kept at home.
The COW so arranges it that the min
eral plant food extracted from the
feed is used in making up the casein
OF milk, and this 10 separated from
the cream andsleft in the skim milk.
This explains why skim milk. balan-
ced with calf meal, is practically as
good as whole milk for feeding
young calves, pigs and poultry.
Therefore the man who sells cream
does not appreciably impair the fer
tility OF his land nor does he lose the
full value OF milk as a food for young
live stock.
BY choosing his feeds judiciously
a dairyman can Increase the amount
OF plant food in his soil without cost
For example, 1t Is frequently possible
to exchange q ton of feed low in
plant food. Such an exchange brings
to the farm more fertility than was
removed, and when the feed is con-
sumed by the cows the manure has
greater fertilizing value.
1t is better to. sell cottonseed. and
buy cottonseed meal rather than
feed the cOttonseed to cows, because
meal is a better feed for cows and
bee ause there is a big gain In plant
food. The man who keeps dairy
cows aud grows legumes not only
provides the best feeds for dairying.
but he enriches his land at the same
time. Coarse .roughages, which
cows eat with zest, are converted in
to valuable products, and yet there
is little draft on the fertility OF the
soil.
Thus It Is that the dairy cow may
be aptly compared to factory that
takes raw materials and converts
them into valuable products and BIZ
products.
The raw materials are grass, hay ST.
lage, cottonseed meal, etc; the pro-
duct ia whole milk and the by pro.
ducts are cream, skim milk, butter,
calves and manure.
When properly managed the COW
will turn out products. which collec-
lively have a greater cash value
than she eats. 1t is this fact that
M axes dairyinG profitable indus.
try, and 1t is due TO the fact that
she does not utilize the three essenti-
al fertilizing elements In the manu-
facture Of her products, that she en-.
riches the soil instead OF exhaustIg
