SOME FACTORS AFFECTING
FARM PROGRESS


This is a season of the year when
our farmers are concerned about
j, number of very practical PROPOSE
tons. Some of the topics to which
1t seems desirable to direct atten-
ton at this time have been outlined
by the instructors in agronomy, an
lmal husbandry and veterinary medi-
cine. The topics touched upon are
as follows: Soil preparation, clean
ing up the farm, saving the pigs,
information about creameries, and
farm hygiene and sanitation. Let
us see how many of these good sug-
gestions can be put into profitable
practice during the spring and sum-
mer.
Soil Preparation
Rains have been frequent and gen
eral during the past two months and
it has been impossible to get but
very little blowing done, conse-
quently, when the soil dries out
there will be a rush to get spring
blowing done, and now is the time
to get the harness, p1ows and tools
in good repair so that there will be
no delay when the land is ready.
land broken that is to be in cult
walton this year. A two-horse ploW
is the best implement to use, but in
"a good many cases one is not avail
able, neither are the two horses to
be had. In this case use the one
horse pillow and break as deeply and
thoroughly as possible. 1t should
be remembered that a thorough prep
aration of the land is one of the
first steps, in fighting the boil Wee
vii and advantage should be tax
EN- of this opportunity.
After breaking, the land should be
narrowed we'll to break up the clods
and save the moisture. This is nee
essary in order to insure a good seed
bed and good termination.
The methods of ripping up the
stalks with a middlebuster and then
bedding back on this furroW is not
good practice and does not give the
thorough preparation that breaking
does. However the middlebuster is
good implement to use in laying
off the land.
The rows for cotton should be
laid off from 8 1-2 feet on medium
upland to 5 feet wide on very rich
land. The general rule to be fol-
lowed is the richer the land, the
wider must be the rows and the
greater the distance between plants
in the row. The rule is the exact
opposite of this for corn.
Drill in the fertilizer and bed up
the land for cotton as soon after
breaking as possible. This will cause
the ground to warm up quicker and
termination of the seed will be
faster.
Cotton should be planted on a
ridge or be slightly above a level.
Corn grows best when planted on
level, rather than in water furrow
or on a ridge.
. The stables should be cleaned up
and the manure hauled out and scat
tered just as soon as the ground is
dry enough. This can usually be
done day or so before the land is
ready to ploW.

Babe Ruins s '<Croove'' Is 
By DAVIS J. WALSH


 New York, May 29-The pitchers have discovered Babe Ruth'S ''groOve.''
 That if you care to listen to the man in the stands, is the explanation for Ruth's failure to hit moro than the size of his shoe in his first week as a re-inStated Yankee.
 His groove, they aver is a low curve over the inside corner by the use of which it Is alleged our esteem ed dugout hurdler is made to look like Cy Falkenberg throwing the hammer. The discovery of Ruth's weakness, they say, dates back to the last worlds series when the Giant pitchers fed him with low, slow curve balls over the inside corner and the Babe waxed exceedingly thin-
 Have Babes Number
 Now, it is said, every pitcher in baseball knows the secret and is act ing accordingly. No more of these imm tolerate home run seances for the Babe; no season average, ranging well up around-3SO. no passing of the big slugger in the pinches to get at a less strenuous mate That sort of business, according to the grandstand gossips, is out like the family cat at daybreak.
 Are they right? They are not.
 Any bali player, pitchers especially, will tell you that Babe Ruth has no batting weakness. He can and will hit any ball that comes within reach of his bat, be it high, low. insider or out.
 He is, however, handicapped in comparison with other hitters, by his prodigious swing. This requires the most delicate of timing, so delicate in fact, that the ball player never lived who could take the same swing and get away with it. Right now, Ruth is short of work and his eye has yet to adjust itself When it does, pitchers will cease to fool him.
 As a matter of fact. they are not fooling him now, the Babe is foolinG himself
 Huggins Excuses "Babe'
 Miller Higgins summed the matter up today in the following vein:
 '"The Babes eye is not timed yet for fast pitching-smart pitching reg say that the pitching this spring has say that thep itching this spring has come along earlier than in some sea- sons past.
 When he came up from the South; he was about ready to step in and grow up with the pitchers: But his long lay off has put him back while the pitchers have gone ahead"
 As for the low curve on the in side, we offer the following in rebut- tai:
 Ruth got fed one of those at St. Louis last August. and the ball clear ed a wire screen bleachers and a TOW of houses outside the park; another of his shoe tops, he hit over the stands at the Polo Grounds and third, his record drive at Chicago, this clearing the stands in right and bounding an eighth of a milo through a playground down at Galveston, Texas, this spring. he hit one of Sher- ry Smiths low ones almost into the

Gene Martin Has Plenty
 Of Chances


 Gene Martin, late of the Brown Derbies. is not finding it a, difficult task to find a berth. The former Derby outfelder has several chances on minor league teams and he will doubtless make his selection this week.
 According to reports, the Pittsfeld club is anxious to annex Martin to it's roster. Gene would probably accept, if Gus will flash a contract at equal salary received here. Gene also has offers to play on semi7pro clubs in and around New York.
 Players on these teams are receiv- ing more money than some minor 1eaguers, the salaries ranging from $1,200 to $1,500 for playing double headers on Sunday and Saturday con- tests. Both Martin and Emmerich were rendered contracts. from Greater New York clubs during the winter, but turned them down.
 Wherever Gene goes. it is likely he will continue to make Lordship his home.

First of all the Smoky City hurler and reversible batter shut out Hart ford 2 to 0, and smashed his batting record with two safe hits.

 Yarn Upsets E. L. Circuit

The story alleging a conspiracy of Eastern League umpires against certain players that has been going the rounds of the 1eageu is raising "old hobbs" according to Umpire Malcolm Nut" Waters. He denied it, and so did "BuH'' Brown last week. Denials may come and go, but the yarn originated in Springfield where Dan ONeiPs hands out all of the official" news of the league, hence newspapers down this end of the ircuit are lodging the responsi- bility of the story.
 Waters, always a favorite here, re- ceived a cordial reception on his first appearane of the season here, yester- day. at Newfield Park. His side part ner, Umpire Conroy. umped an ex- ceptionally fine game behind the plate.
