Mexico May Have A World \
Champion Boxer Some Da

Who knows but what Mexico may
have in the future another Jack
Dempsey or Jack Willard? If hard
and extended practice in the art of
boxing has any thing to do with it,
Mexico people may yet be able to
point with pride at a certain one Of
her citizens as the world champion
One of the chief places for holding
amateur matches is behind the Stand
ard Oil filling station, where most
mornings when it is not raining or
the weather otherwise indisposed, two
of Mexico's energetic and perhaps
future world champion boxers meet
and box with each other, the air and
anything else that is in the way.
About the only thing so far that.

There are 1000 boys in Missouri now
receiving assistance in grain growing
from the Field Crops Department of
the University Of Missoupri College of
Agriculture and the Missouri Corn
Growers Association. Much Of the
work is done in cooperation with the
Vocational Agricultural schools. No
less than forty Of these schools
sent teams recently to compete
in the Corn Judging contest at Col
umbia. The help given the boys ex-
tends throughout the year, not only in
the growing season but in marketing
their products and in judging field
seeds. Z The results Of this sort of
work extend far beyond the actual
value of the crops raised and the les
sons given in growing and selling
grain. No better proof Of this state
ment is needed than the story of a
Bates County boy, Lester Maddox,
who recently harvested thirty-nine
acres of soy beans. These were
grown from seed obtained through the
Missouri Corn Growers Association
and will be sold as certified seed thru
channels provided by the association
and the agricultural college. Young
Maddox expects to grow another crop
of beans like this and then will enroll
in the Missouri College of Agriculture
to finish the practical training he has
so well begun.

DILLON, Mont, Jan 31.-For the
first time in the history of the Mon
tana livestock commission a colt has
been born to a mare mule. Veterin-
airy surgeons, horse breeders and pro-
ducers of heavy work stock have
scoffed at the prediction of the owner,
but he now has the proof and DR.. j.
w. Butler, State veterinary surgeon,
has upheld the owner of the mare and
colt, in his statement that such a
freak of nature is possible. DR.. But
Ter said that there are several in
stances in books on veterinary medi-
cine in his office where this rare re-
production is mentioned. ut is the
first time according to the records in
this office that a mare mule has given
birth to a colt sired by a horse, and
is just one more instance of the
wealth of knowledge which science
lacks" The State veterinary surgeon,
who was for years with the United
States department of animal industry,
is making a personal investigation of
the mule colt and its antecedents and
will have the data compiled for the
use of horse breeders and veterinary
surgeons throughout the United
States. The colt was born on a farm
near this city and the owner has asked
that his name be withheld because Il
don't want to be plagued with a flood
of fool questions" DR.. Butler, how
ever, is leading the van of inquiring
friends with question fairly popping
out of his head.-Fulton Sun.

A transaction in wool which was
not very profitable to the purchaser
was told in Fulton Saturday evening.
A farmer and stockman on the Grand
Prairie bought wool last season or
speculation. He gave so cents a pound
for his neighbors crops and sacked
and stored them in his barn waiting
for the market price to right itself
and reach a figure which would make
it worth while to him. to sell. Last
week he decided the market was the
best it would be for some time, in
fact for a long time as the new crop
would be in within a short time, and
he sold his holding to an Auxvasse
man. The wool was shipped to Chi
cago and the net profit to the Auxvasse
man on his al load Of wool was just
thirty cents. Two years ago wool sold
at rs cents a pound as against Is
cents now.-Fulton Sun.

The following letter has been receiv
ed by w. J. Haufer of Rush Hill from
A. C. Burrill, assistant professor of en-
tomology at the University, concern
ing the chinch bug:
January 8, 1921.
Mr.. w. J. Hafuer,
Rush Hill, Missouri.
Dear SIR
Are you awake to the very great
menace the chinch bug means to our
wheat and corn crops next year? 1t
is bad enough not to have a good
market price, when syou have a big
crop in Missouri, but it will be worse
if we have no crops.
Mr.. Logan referred to me your COM
plant of ehaffy corn, due to chinch
bugs, and although we have had near
ly 40 columns of publicity in the lead
ing agricultural papers of Missouri
besides daily and local papers, most
farmers seem not to- know that over
$4,000, 900 was punched out Of the
farm crops of Missouri in 1920 by this
pest.
Since you have shown sufficient in
terest to mention the fact Of damage,
will you not be a committee of one TO
see that your own place has its Dor
ders all burned around before spring
to destroy the hiding places Of this
pest and get as many Of your neigh
fbors to do as possible, destroying all
unnecessary rubbish heaps. If you
need ADVICE about what to burn, or
have not seen any press notes on it
let me know. The broom sedge or any
other large tufts Of wild or volunteer
grass needs to be burned within one
inch Of the ground.
The following railroad passing
through your country says it will re-
burn any tufts Of grsss on its right
bof-way not burned close enough, pro-
vided you can get the farmers oppos-
ite to tend to their own borders first.
Notify ycur section foreman then, and
write to the following that you are
ready for them to finish their part.
Perhaps you rad better give this to.
your local ospers with request to let
you know who wants to cooperate
with YOU Hustle 70 It now since this
must be done while It is vet freezing
