this feature has not been overlooked by

ND-TIME STARS IN
CAPITALISTIC CLASS
Many Players Can Count Their
Wealth in Six Figures.
Some Examples Cited Of What Sew
eral of Better Known Ball Tossers
Have Piled Up for Their Com

High salaries and long seasons have
placed ball players in the capitalistic
class. That is, some ball players.
There are many men on the diamond
today who can count their wealth in
SIX figures, the result of careful at

themselves by their ability to play ball

Ned Hanlon, former manager of the

HARDNESS OF MERKER
AND NAPIER GRASSES

In July, 1920, a shipment of Mer-
ker and Napier grass joints from Or
lando, Glorida, was received at the
Georgia Experiment Station, for
tests as to their value as forage crops
in the Piedmont section. The joints
were planted at once in good soil, but
due to the dry weather which con-
tinued for some time after planting,
the buds were slow to start. When
the new shoots did develop, however,
the growth was very rapid, and by
the middle of October many of the
shoots had reached height of six to
nine feet and were forming seed
heads. Had the joints been planted
earlier in the season it is probable
that the seed heads would have ma
tured. AS seed of these grasses is
quoted at five dollars per ounce ii
would be worth saving.
Altho these grasses have stems re-
sembling some of the smaller vari-
cites of cane in size, they are sufici-
emily succulent so that cattle eat
both leaves and stems.
In Judging the value of the Mer-
ker and Napier grasses for the Pied.
mont section of Georgia it seemed
advisable to test their ability to with
stand the winters. Without giving
the roots any more proection thar
was afforded by breaking the stems
and allowing the leaves to partly
cover the ground the plants were left
in the soil thruout the winter. Early
in March the growth of last season
was cleared away and some of the
plants examined. 1t was found thai
