Oshkosh Wins Title

Oshkosh made a clean sweep in
Normal school major athletics by
taking the second and deciding title
at basketball here last night, Is to
13. Last fall they won the football
championship by defeating the Red &
White here by the close margin of 6
to 0.
There is much room for argument
upon the relative merits of the two
cpints, and the booster for either has
lot of points in, his favor. Had Riv
er Falls, at the opening of last nights
play had even fraction of their US
ual success at field shots they would
have taken a lead that would have
been hard for any team to overcome.
But they didn't, and this appeared to
take some of the pep out of them in
offensive work, while the visitors held
a cool steady gait all the way through.
Morrow was the star of the local
team, and in fact, was perhaps the
only one on the Red & White squad
who played up to the standard which
the fans had come to expect from this
aggregation.
Webster was the main factor in the
Oshkosh defense and played Won
derful game. Breisinger, their sure
shot forward, played the most brilliant
individual game seen on the local
floor this season and was the main
factor in the Oshkosh offense.
The Oshkosh players at all times
showed the same excellent sports
manship which they displayed in foot
ball, and although it was bitter dis
appointment to lose the title, all feel
that the Oshkosh athletes ale worthy
and deserving of the honors.

MANY SOILS NEED
PHOSPHATE SUPPLY.

The majority of Kentucky soils out
side of the blue grass section as much
In need of phosphate fertilizers, ac-
cording to soils specialists who have
made study Of the subject The
heavy clay soils of the state in par
ticular are in a condition to respond
to phosphate treatments as are also
many of the loan soils. Phosphates
WITH clover and manure, to furnish nit
rogen and organic matter are the prin7
cipal elements of successful soil build
ing to be used in the state, the special
lists say.
Poor farming, soil erosion and the
sale Of crops off the farm has resulted
n many of the soils being depleted Of
their PHOSPHORUS, according to men,
bers of the soils and crops department
of the college of Agriculture. Because
of the source from which they were
derived, many Of the soils which are
now in need of PHOSPHORUS have al
ways contained a small amount Of it.

25O BUSHELS AN ACRE
FROM GOOD SPUD SEED.

That the use of high-brade potato
seed is profitable practice and one
which results in larger yields than
those obtained from homegrown, bin
selected seed is shown by results
which have been obtained by Western
Kentucky farmers who cooperated
with the extension division Of the Col
lege of Agriculture in showing the ad-
vantages of good seed. Pedigreed
Kentucky and northern-grown seed
was used in the demonstration in COM
parison with homegrown, bin-selected
tubers which represented the type u.s.
ually left over from sales and sown for
seed. The pedigreed and northern
grown seed yielded at the rate of $50
bushels an acre while the yield from
the home-saved seed was only 80 bush
els an acre. Farmers in that commun-
ity are expected to import more seed
in 1922 as result Of the demonstra-
finn
