that 1.-The influence of the federal
goernment in stimulating new move
ments for the application of science
can rarely be measured by the
amount of funds it has contributed.
The Department of Agriculture
has the largest number of cooperative
undertakings under way, it is stated.
The report points out that the work
covers the entire country and in
cludes: "the study of the principles
of agricultural science, the determin-
alton of agricultural resources and
special adaptations, the discovery
and introduction of improved or bet
ter-suited methods, the establish
ment of new crops, the improvement
of plants and animals, the marketing
of products, and the safeguarding of
agriculture from long list of
enemies"
Cooperative scientific work is on
large scale and is steadily increas-
ing, according to the report. The
enterprises of the Department of Ag-
riculture alone in 1921 involved the
expenditure of nearly $4,000, 900,
it is pointed out.

SOUTHERN BALL GAMES
WILL START APRIL II
Eight Teams In League This Sea-
son-Mobile Champs Last
Year

ATLANTA, March 16.-The warm
est fight in many seasons is expect
ed in the Southern league this sea-
son and fans predict that the battle
viii wax warm from the opening in
nings of the first games, April II.
Each of the eight teams in the
league, Atlanta, Birmingham, New
Orleans, Mobile, Chattanooga, Mem
phis, Nashville and Little Rock,
claims to have the strongest lineup
it has presented in years.
Last years champions, the Mobile
Bears, have made several strong adj
ditions to their team and, with these
exceptions expect to place practical
ly the same team back in the run
ming and every club in the circuit is
expecting trouble when they 60 up
against the Alabama aggregation.
Both Chattanooga and Atlanta,
the cellar teams of the last season,
have selected a different brand of
players for their teams this year and
their managers are expecting to
wage a bitter fight throughout the en-
tire season.
Johnny DODDS, Tor years managers
of the New Orleans team, is said to
be making some worth while plans
for the conduct of the Memphis team
during the coming struggle. The
Memphis team is said to be one of
the strongest in the circuit, that city
having been the runnerup in the past
season and champion the preceding
year.
Jose Dunn, who has replaced
Wordsworth as manager of the Biz
mingham team, gained the respect of
the entire league last year when he
took charge of the team, immediate
ly injecting pep into the Barons and
causing them to put up worth while
fight.
Kid Elberfeld, heading the Little
Rock team, is reported to have an
other hard hitting bunch of players
on the string Nashville and New
Orleans are saying little before the
opening of the affair but rumors are
to the effect that they are hard at
work over in the Tennessee and
Louisiana orchards.
