To Spread Golf To Every Hamlet,
 Keynote Of Meet
lRY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13. - The spreading of golf to every hamlet was the keynote at the annual meeting tonight of the Western Golf association, which reelected President Charles c. Pfeil of Mem phis for the third time and reinstat- ed most of the other officers.
 With assertions from several speakers that golf was not only a desirable health and recrational asset to the country, but also bus mess adjunct that paid with Its ability to inspire integrity and loft mess of purpose, the association planned to start its 26th year with a militant campaign to spread the game even more rapidly than it has grown in recent years.
 Reports showed that the western association was the largest golf organization in the world, having nearly 800 active member clubs with a goodly prospect of doubling the number soon. A review of the associations p years of activity recited that most of the progressive moves in golf since the game took hold in America had been started by the w. G. A. It was said that while there was no intention of trying to supplant other parent bodies in the handling of golf. The aim of the western association would continue to be progressive with the sport now held the larg- est number of adherents and sup ported the greatest number of links.
 Regrets were expressed over the retirement from active service of Albert A. Gates, thrice president and twice general counsel, and Joseph w. Busch, twice secretary, who refused another term on ac- count of personal business pressure. Director J. w. Wadley also re- tired on account of poor health with the thanks of the organization for his past efforts. President Pfeil was thanked for his decision to remain as president for a third term, after having announced sev- eral months ago that he would re- tire from teh office.

K. I. P. ELEVEN
 WINS BY 18-O

The second interfraternity game, which was played Saturday at Avon dale field, resulted in an 1S-O victory for the Kappa Theta Phi over the Phi Delta Pi. As neither team had had much practice in playing together, the game lacked the teamwork that was ex- hibited in the first of this schedule.
 For the Kappa Theta Phi, Taylor, Wingo, Simpson and Ballard did good work, while the Phi Delta Pi was led by Perry, Hood, Douglass and Smith. Besides active members of the Phi Delta Pi, Caldwell and Lupton of the Phi Sigma Tau and Barnett and Turner of the Alpha Sigma Delta, took part on this team.
 "Ox" Taylor made the first two touchdowns in the first and second quarters respectively. The last one was made by Simpson in the last quar- ter.
 As neither side had full team, the positions cannot be named but those taking part were: Kappa Theta Phi |: Taylor, Wingo, Simpson, Major, Grubb, Ballard, Stack, Gallion and Yancey i; Phi Delta Pi: Perry, Hood, Caldwell, Lupton, Barnett, Smith, Douglass, Mur- ray, Turner and Earl.

PRATT CITY AND
 WILLIAM TIE, Il
Ensley Wins From Fair field In Fast Game,
 1.TO 0

In the T. c. I. Soccer league, Ensley beat Fairfield, to o, and Vivian and Pratt City tied, 1 to 1, this being a common occurrence between the two teams.
 Jim Watson kicked the goal for Ems ley, winning for them the fastest and best game of the season. It was hard fought game and both teams played good ball.
 In a number of the late games Wy lam and Pratt City have tied and it seems that a coin will have to be tossed to determine who has the best team.
 Sam Miller scored the goal for Wylam and Brown kicked the one for Pratt City. It was good game, but got a little rough at the last.
 In the league standing, win scores two points and a tie one point. As the teams now stands, Vivian has 14 points; Pratt City 8; Ensley $, and Fairfield 6.

Coach Discusses Changes
 lin Rules Of Basketball

are made to give an advantage. For example, a shorter center might fail to place one arm behind his back in order to have the official give the ball to an opposing player out of bounds. This, while a disadvantage, would be less of an advantage than to have the taller center direct the ball to a cer- tain position from the toss-up.
 Another change mOdifies the award ing of fouls made on a player in the act of shooting. Under the new rules, a foul committed on a player in pos session of the ball inside the 17-foot line gives him two free throws. A foul committed on a player outside the r. foot line gives him one free throw, but if committed while in the act of shoot ing a basket, two free throws are al- lowed

of the Chamber of Commerce was
later generally commended upon
the streets and among those who
were aware of the action taken.
The creamery will be located in
one of the new buildings recently
erected on Cotton avenue near the
corner Of Jefferson street, and the
structure has been specially built
for the purpose to which it will be
devoted. Every modern facility
for the handling of cream and the
manufacture of butter will be in
stalled, the machinery for this pur-
pose having been ordered this morn
ing. Just as soon as the first in
stallment of machinery arrives, the
work of installation will begin,
An interesting fact brought out
at the meeting was that there are
now approximately three hundred
mich cows within Sumter county,
and it is expected this number will
be increased quickly to total Of
at least a thousand. The directors
of the Chamber of Commerce an
nOuneed that financial arrange
ments are now being negotiated to
stock Sumter equity farms with
milk COWS that will furnish an
abundant supply of cream for the
creamery, and that just as soon as
these are completed a further an
nouncement will be made. A def
finite method for financing the
purchase of cows for Sumter farm

FLORIDA METHOD TEST
9Sse RESULTS ANNOUNCED

onstrations were carefully placed
so that all sections from the noun
tains to the sea along this railroad
would be represented. An effort
was made to secure in such demon
stration sufficient area of land that
the tests might be carried on under
average field conditions. The dem
strator furnished the land, fertil-
izer and cultivated the cotton, fol-
lowing practices which had given
him best results. This department
furnished the poison, superintend-
ed the labori n applying the Flor
ida method and kept records on the
demonstrations. We were very
fortunate in the selection of DEM
onstrations as in practically every
case their excellene cooperation
was very helpful to us.
In Sumter county tests were con-
Quoted in fields of N. A. Ray, near
Americas; DR.. Bowman Wise, near
Plains, and A. E. Hines, near Les
lie. In all of these tests increased
yields were secured, and the in
crease in pounds of seed cotton was
demonstrated in comparison with
test acreas and fields alongside per
acre.
In the Ray field, the increased
yield per acre was 467 pounds; in
the Wise field, 1866 pounds, and
in the Hines field, SO pounds, ac-
cording to figures furnished by Sea-
board Air Line officials.
The labor cost and average yield
to all demonstrators, was as fol-
lows:
Average hours labor to strip /
acre, 10 IL hours.
Average yield demonstrations
per acre, 969.9 lbs.
Average yield checks per acre,
545.6 lbs.
The demonstration of this
method proved very satisfactory
over the territory. Practically ev-
cry one of our co-operators was

cases reinfested by emerging wee
wills. Where done too late, a heavy
labor bill was run up and the pos
sibility of migrating weevils de-
stroying the crop increased. No
definite statement from our ex-
perience as to the correct time to
apply the Florida method can be
made. The time of planting, growth
of the crop, weather conditions and
numerous other factors must be
considered in determining when to
begin stripping. AS a general rule
our observations lead US to believe
that stripping little too late is
better than stripping a little too
early.
1t is probable that additional APP
plications of poison should be made
if infestation reaches high proper
tons after stripping. No doubt
that this and other improvements
on the method will be offered from
from time to time by the origina-
tors.
We firmly believe that this meth
cd warrants the serious considera-
ton of the cotton growing inter
estso the South. Further investiga-
torial work with it should be car
ried on. There are . number of
points in this connection on which
more experimental data should be
secured before general recommen-
dations for its use can be made.
Boil weevil control is apparently
q different problem in each cotton
field. We, therefore, cannot toe
strongly urge each cotton grower to
study his individual problem dill
gently, determine where he has boil
weevil infestation in his fields and
then take whatever means his ex-
perience has convinced him is the
most effective TO reduce this infes-
alton. 81 ~ ". sss,sitt..22

BY F. M. Common.

During the past year the devel-
opment department of the Seaboard
Air Line railway conducted 81 dem
onstrations on boil weevii control
located as follows: Eight in North
Carolina; 26 in South Carolina: 20
in Georgia, and a in Alabama. The
Florida improved method, as pro-
mulgated by the Florida Expert
ment Station, was used in all these
demonstrations. Briefly, this
method consisted of stripping all
squares from, the plants Just before
the first bloom appeared, immed-
lately followed by an application of
poison either in dust form or molas-
ses-calcium arsenate mixture to
the terminal of the buds of the cot
ton plants. Detailed instructions
on this method are contained in bull
letin entitled can Improved Method
of Boil Weevil Control issued by
this department and distributed
over the territory last June.
1t had been well established that
the Florida method had given very
definite results within the borders
Of the state of Florida, and was
backed up by scientific investiga-
lions. This department. therefore,
decided it would be well to test out
the adaptability of this method in
the southeastern states other than
Florida. This work was done pure
ly from an educational standpoint.
No special claim was made for the
Florida method, other than it had
succeeded in the state of Florida.
No effort was made to discredit any
other method of boil weevil control.
We felt that if the Florida method
would prove successful generally
over the South, we wanted our cot
ton growing friends in our territory
along the Seaboard Air Line to
have close at hand an actual DEM
onstration of the method.
With these objects in view dem

well pleased with results obtained,
Our work in this connection has
led us to believe that the Florida
method is an effective cheap meth
cd of boil weevil control. We be-
lieve that the basic principles of
this method are sound.
All through these demonstrations
great fruiting stimulation was
noted after the squares had been
stripped from the PLANTS. In prac-
tically every demonstration, obser-
walton showed that in a few weeks
after stripping, the treated area
averaged more squares per plant
than the untreated parts of the
same field. How much of the in
creased yield obtained was due to
their fruiting stimulation could
not be determined.
AS is natural to suppose, the
thoroughness with which this meth
cd was applied also seemed to af-
feet the results. Where stripping
was carefully done and complete
weevil and square cleanup accom-
plished, fruiting stimulation seemed
more marked and weevil damage
low. Both of these factors tend to
result in high yield. The time re-
quired for stripping averaged
is IL hours per acre in the above
demonstrations
The date OF applying the method
is worthy of special consideration.
Where stripping was done too ear
ly, demonstrations were in some

REVENUE BOARD HIS NOT IN FAVOR
 |OF BATSON'S PLAN.
Convicts Now Used To Maintain The Present
 Roads, Is Claim

That s. R. Batson's plan for the. county to save money in it's various paving projects is deemed unfeasible bv the present board of revenue was evidenced by informal statements made Monday at the courthouse by members of the board.
 Batson's plan involves the building of roads and laying of pavement by the county itself, using as labor the con victs from nearby camps Supervis- ion of the construction work would be under 0. J. Rogers, county highway engineer, and his appointees, 1t is un- derstOod.
 W. B. Copeland contended that con. yicts which under Batsons plan would be utilized for labor on new road building projects, are being used continually for maintenance purposes on roads and highways already complet- ed and that taking them from their present work would probably cause swift deterioration of the highways, in- yolving a considerable loss of money to the county.
 ''The roads which convict labor keeps in good condition would probably have to be built all over again." he said. w neIner the JOSS thus IHVOlFeu WOulu be greater or less than the cost of let- ting contracts to road builders he did not say.
 Haven't Considered Plan.
 Neither I nor the other members of the board have considered Batson's suggestions as yet. For that reason no figures have been computed as to whether his plan would mean saving or loss. Until then, I can neither com mand nor condemn his proposition"
 Despite his statement, he held forth the opinion that the experiment would be a costly one in the end.
 D. c. Ball, president of the revenue body, fell in line with Copeland, add ing that he will make public state ment as soon as he has read carefully Batson's suggested course, obtained fig ures from engineers, and consulted with the board. This will not be for week or more, he concluded.
 Tn the meantime, what will hap pen to the good roads that have been built throughout the county and which are kept in good condition by the coun-
