by the United States department OF
agriculture, it is stated IN bulletin
just received.
Eleven southern states now produce
more than eighty-three per cent OF the
total crop, but market less than thirty
per cent of the total car lot shipments,
the department points out. FULLY TWEEN
ty-hve per cent Of the southern crop
is lost from freezing, insects and other
causes.
To meet the market demand it is
essential that producers standardize
and improve their varieties, increase
Yields per acre, increase their percent

ton, the department says, Planters are
advised that only well-ripened, dis
ease free, carefully harvested potatoes

GEORGIA BOY BEAT
CHAMP. M'TIGUE SILLY
STRIBLING SHOT LETS TO
MIKES MIDSECTION; CAR
RIED RIGHTS TO HEAD.

NEWARK, N. Mike McIigue,
holder of the light heavyweight cham
pionship, lost his newspaper decision
and received an awful beating in a
12-round bout here tonight from
Young Bill Stribling, of Macon, Ga.
The Irishman looked like dub
and was outsmarted by the fast step
ping Bill all the way.
So easy was it for Stribling that he
burlesqued it before it was hall over
He amused the crowd, but it made the
bout take on the aspect of circus.
In the 10th round it looked as
though Mike was through He went
to the floor for the count OF two and
when he got up held on desperatelly y.
Striking, in his anxiety to finish the
lob. grew wild and missed some
punches, which, had they landed,
would have ruined McTigue and his
championship.
1t has been a long time since a
champion showed so poorly. Suibling
left handed Mike silly. He kept shoot
ing let's to Mikes midseCtion, then
varied his style of attack by carrying
his right to Mikes head and by whip
ping left hooks to Mikes chin, spin
ming the champion around.
1t was apparent from the first that
Mike did not have thing, II he did
he couldn't find place for it. Once
or twice he landed with rights but
they were like the slap of child.
Ma and Pa Stribling were the most
iubilant persons OF the ringside when
it was over. The proud mother chatted
with friends back of her boys corner
throughout the contest. Her big boy
was dealing out sweet pasting to the
title holder, 50 she had no cause to
worry.
McTigue had hard time sticking
it out in the last two frames and held
on desperately while Stribling fought
to shake him off.
The weights were: McTigue, l66A
and Stribling los. Attendance, l4,5OO
Gate $4,000.

ASPARAGUS BECOMING AN
IMPORTANT CROP IN STATE
Terrell One of Counties in Which 1t
Is Grown for Market

Approximately $500 acres OF aspara-
gus were planted in Georgia this sea-
son, according to T. c. Curry, federal
inspector of the United States depart
ment OF agriculture Asparagus is fast
becoming an important crop, he said,
since it is harvested during a dull sea
son, and at a time when there is
nothing else to bring i'll cash for the
farmer.
Fort Valley, Marshallville and Per-
ry are the principal districts, though
there is scattering acreage in sur
rounding counties including Terrell.
1t is estimated that the Fort Valley
section alone will ship around 10000
crates, most OF which will move by
express.
The harvest began in March and is
expected to be over by the middle of
May, according to Mr.. Curry.
