WILLS BOUT A JOKE
Homer Smith Goes Down Eight
Times, Once Without Being Hit.

New York, Oct. 12.-Homer Smith
of Kalamazoo. Mich, who stayed ten
rounds with Luis Angel Firpo, was
counted out in the second round of a
scheduled ten-round bout with Harry
Wills, New York negro aspirant for
Jack Dempsey's heavyweight title. in
Long Island city arena Thursday
night.
Smith took eight knockdowns be-
fore listening to the count, then arose
with alacrity and left the ring, ap-
parently unhurt.
The negro weighed 211 pounds to
Smiths 100. and he made good use
of his advantage. The Kalamazoo
fighter was down five times jim the
first round, but didn't appear to be
hurt.
1t was Wills first ring appearance
in year. and the match drew an
overflow crowd.
In the second round Smith went
down once without being hit but
jumped to his feet when the referee
started after him. Wills then clipped
him in the body with left and he
went down for nine count. Regain
ing his feet. he walked into a right
that sent him to his knees. After
count of two, Smith rolled over on
his back. stuck his feet in the air
and was counted out.
The crowd seemed to take the
match as n joke, Smith never once
made an effort to hit Wills and he
apparently was little hurt when he
walked from the ring.

Crop Rotation
Imperative to
Soil Fertility

Crop rotation is the best way out
of many difficulties which the I'M
perial Valley farmer has to face, ae-
coraiyg to John w. Scott of the soil
fertility committee of the Assoeiat.
ed Chambers of Commerce. There
is no safer way for breeding weeds,
insect pests and plant diseases than
the field which is continually crop
ped with the one thing. The physi-
cal condition of the soil is just as
important rs fertility and crop TO-
tation is Friend in need of
good tillage.
\ proper rotation of crops virtu-
allv gives the soil rest, at least
t. a large extent. After crop OF
corn. cotton or wheat, the soil
should be seeded to clover or altal-
ia. For three groupings, the surface
soil has been drawn upon heavily.
Fertilizers may have been applied
but a certain amount of them goes
TO vase. IS soon as the clover or
alfalfa is firmly established, it
strikes into the subsoil and the le-
gumcs feed near the surface to some
extent, but mostly in an independ-
ent way.
These legumes feed on the air foI

THE FARMER AND HIS TROUBLES

The farmer is again getting the worst of the bar
gain. Of late the steel mills and the automobile tac
tories have been running at such high that
they have advanced wages and lured all kinds of labor
to the big cities. Men have left the farm and gone
where they get ready cash and wages that have
remained at the wartime schedule Besides this they
have gone where they drop into the movies after
noon and evenings and while away Sundays watching
the shadows of Norma Talnadge and Richard Bar
thalmess Certainly farms can't hold out against that
sort of competition-not when the price of oats re-
mains at 35 cents, wheat at dollar at SO cents
and other farm products in proportion when what the
farmer has to buy is at prices, plus.
We can't say just how the agriculturist is
going to have his turn again 1t is high time for it
now, for he has waited and waited all the time rum
ming behind. Just why he is left holding the sack is
something the so-called economists not able to
satisfactorily explain The "back to the farm" move
had scarcely begun when it back to the city,
Now the farmer is unable to get anything like the num-
Der of he needs cultivate the soil and raise food
for the country; and though the prices for his pro-
ducts remain low level he must pay what help he
is able to get rate of wages that makes his years
returns look like German reparations bill.
The present scarcity of farm labor may have the
effect of equaliZng things If it does there will be
that satisfactory compensation in it. If the farmer
can't and reap the fellows who are scudding to
town will be disappointed at supper time

wheat never learned and they go
several feet into the subsoil for
potash and other material. Some of
that material, the farmer undoubt-
edly paid for and applied to the sur
face, but the water stole it and ran
away with it. The clover plays de-
tective in finding it out and bring
ing it up to the top again. The
clover therefore plays an important
part in crop rotation.
1t should be borne in mind that

PROSPERITY REAL AND FALSE

The present output Of construction materials,
transportation equipment and manufactured goods
generally reports the National City Bank of New
York in its last bulletin has never been surpassed
This output is compared naturally with that of the
greatest year during the boom-the year of 1917.
But there is one great difference, worth noting and
memberng.
'The activity of 1917 was largely expended upon
war equipment and supplies. The output of iron and
steel then going largely into guns and shells while
is going into building materials, railroad equip
ment automobiles and machinery. The output Of the
textile industry going largely at that time to
clothe the armies while now it Is going to supply the
general trade demands"
In other words, the wartime output was largely
wasted. Materials and goods disappeared into the
NAV of war. There profit them, to be yet
ii was largely false profit, paid only the books or
up by high prices and high taxes The products
representing real wealth disappeared leaving deficit
of such wealth.
Now the country is not only producing the goods
but keeping them and using them. Thus the country,
working busily now as it worked during the war, is
really getting ahead. The present prosperity there
