This was business. and Rickard
is a business man in his match
| making-business before all else
He looked willard over from head
TO toe, figured a moment. and then
came back with his proposition.
Jess" he said. you haven't a
chance with this boy the way you

But you could whip him II you'd do

willard didn't go. He went, in
stead, back to Kansas and bought a
farm. That's why there has been
no return match between Willard
and Dempsey, and why Rickard
didn't make much of an effort to
arrange one last year. willard
must have shown Rickard some-
thing or there'd be no match now.
Perhaps a couple Of years farming
has done what Rickard said a years

A peculiar thing about the Demp-
sey- Willard return match is that
there has. been no public demand
for 1t. Dempsey is an active cham
pion, always ready to meet any
able challenger. That kind of a
champion is rare enough to be ap-
preciated. Willard was just the op-
posite-satisfied to rest on his
laurels after beating Johnson, hav-
ing no desire to risk his title or de-
fendS 1t against ambitious rivals.
The public knows that IL willard

treated alike otherwise and the land
which had hairy vetch on it last year
bids fair to produce corn at the rate OF
IS bushels per acre, and the other at
the rate of p bushels per acre-show-
ing a decided increase due to the hairy
vetch, in spite of the fact that the 9th
err land was heavily MANFRED and fer
tilted last year.
Mr.. Rasch also has an interesting
red clover demonstration which brings
to light an important fact. In buying
his red clover seed last February he
called for common red clover, but his
scotsman did not have the desired
quantity OF this variety and substituted
few pounds of the Mammoth Sapling
variety. Having more confidence IN the
common clover Mr.. Rasch naturally
gave it preference of soil, but now he
has a good stand of the Mammoth
Sap1ing and practically none OF the
common variety, demonstrating the
superior hardness OF the Mammoth
Sapling. According to Mr., Rasch this
is true in other parts of the county,
which indicates that the Mammoth
Sapling is more hardy, and, as is gen
orally known, it is a greater producer.
Co-Operates With County Agent
For the last several years Mr.. Rasch
has been a close co-operator with his
county agent, and also assisted the
Experiment Station at Auburn in con-
Quoting some local experiments. In the
fall of 1920 he co-operated with the
Experiment Station in planting two
acres to B1uestem wheat which had
been carefully bred and selected by
the Experiment Station, and three
acres with the common Bluestem
wheat. At harvest time, last spring, the
two acres planted with seed known as
the Auburn Bluestem wheat produced
1917 bushels, and the three acres seed
ed with the common seed produced
1919 bushels-demonstrating the I'M
portance OF planting high class seed.
The main secret of building soil, he
says, is to do so during the winter
time, as it is necessary for it to pro-
duce a crop in summer, and since he
is making on the average 80 bushels
of corn to the acre on a farm which
eight years ago would make little
more than the seed it is evident that
he knows when and how to build soil.

BEN HILL COUNTY
HAS WOMAN OFFICER
MRS. E. H. DORMINY, WIFE OF
SHERIFF, NOT ONLY CAN AR
REST, BUT HAS JAIL KEYS.

FITZGERALD, Ga.-At least one
city in the state of Georgia can boast
of having a female deputy. That city
is Fitzgerald.
Although Mrs. E. H. Dorminy, wife
of Sheriff Dorminy, of Ben Hill coun-
ty, has been deputy sheriff for the
past five years it is not generally
known throughout the state that Geor-
gia's fair sex is. we'll represented in the
power to arrest line.
Arrest? Sure! She can not only ar
rest you, but the very keys to the jail
house are in her possession! She's the
little lady who slaps you in Jail, does
the office work to fix up your commit
ment then superintends your feeding
when you fall into the tolls Of the law
in Ben Hill county.
1t is true that Deputy Sheriff (Mrs.)
Dorminy rarely, if ever, places one
under arrest. She has a husband who
stands about six feet without his w.
L. Douglass, and tips the scales no
less than $50 pounds. He's sufficiently
able to place one under arrest.
Mrs. Deputy Sheriff Dorminy en-
joys the distinction of being a genuine
Georgia police officer.
