Tiger Four Wins
National Title

New York, June East scored
another triumph over the west in
college athletics today when the
Princeton university polo four, cham.
pions of the east, won the national
title by conquering University OF
Arizona, champions of the west, 10
o, in the second and deciding game
Of their series at Fort Hamilton.
Princeton had won the opening con-
test last Saturday. 6 to ?. SO that
today's victory obviated the necessity
for n third match.
The Arizonians will begin an exhibit
ton series with Pennsylvania Military
college at Chester, Pa, next Thurs.
day for the best two out of three
games.
The Tigers, driving with brilliant
accuracy and displaying much supe-
rior teamwork, outclassed their west
ern rivals this afternoon before a
gathering of several thousand that
included many military notables.
Except in the last two periods, when
Arizona rallied TO hold the yictors
scoreless, Princeton was never threat.
ened. Arizona had two good chances
to score in the closing chukkers, but
failed to take advantage OF them.

PECAN CASE BEARER
DOES GREAT DAMAGE
REDUCES CROP TO 10 PER
CENT. HOPE ENEMY PEST
WILL APPEAR.

Despite the fact that the nut case
bearer has caused such depredations
in the pecan groves of this section
this year that the crop will not be
more than 10 per cent of last years
yield pecan growers have no cause for
permanent dismay and pecan lands
are still a good investment. This state
ment was made by ]. M. Patterson
head of an organization which has s.
900 acres of cultivated pecan trees, in
an address before the Albany Kiwanis
club Mr.. Patterson said that the nut
case bearer had cost his farm 10000
pounds of pecans, but that he was
not ready to quit.
Mr. Patterson based his optimistic
remarks on statements he had from
government experts to the effect that
the pecan case bearer is always fol
lowed by a parasite which feeds on
the pest and finally nullifes its dam
age There are two forms OF case
bearers-the leaf case bearer and the
nut case bearer-but the leaf case
bearer has been controlled by spray
ing, and even the nut case bearer has
responded somewhat to spraying. The
best promise of control for the nut
case bearer, however is the insect
enemy which is expected in quantities
next year. if it has not actually al
ready arrived in this section, Mr.. Pat
terson declared.
He pointed out that the insect made
its first appearance in the southeast at
Monticello, Fla, II years ago, and
that the first year Of general infesta-
ton was marked by a 90 per cent crop
loss. The second year brought the. in
sect enemy and saw the crop loss
reduced to 40 per cent and the next
year to 10 to 20 per cent. Three broods
OF the nut case bearer are Matched
each summer, and, although the first
brood in this section this year was
abnormally heavy, the second brood
was so small that it was negligible
causing some to think that the insect
enemy has already made its appear
ance.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1924-09-02

~~N~~~~~~~~
Are the recent advances in hog
prices permanent? Will it pay south
ern farmers to go back to raising
more pigs now that the prices are
good again. These questions are be-
ing asked daily of live stock commits
sion men and others by the farmers
throughout the south.
From all indications the south is
about to climb out of low point or
trough of hog production. This trough
is between two waves of production,
the wave that reached its greatest vol
ume back in 1922 and the wave that
may have already started to gather
and which may reach its peak in from
one to three years. 1t is interesting to
note how regularly these waves OF
heavy hog production recur with their
intervening periods of light produc-
ton. Considering their regularity il
is amazing how many farmers get
caught by their coming without hav-
ing sufficient breeding stock to enable
them to increase production quickly
when prices are rising and who like
wise are overstocked at the close OF
the wave and have to unload at loss
large numbers of hogs when the prices
drop.
Recently county agent from one
OF the most prosperous sections OF
Georgia reported that farmer in his
county had sixty pure-bred brood
sows two years ago and today has
only two or three. Such unwise over
confidence in periods of high prices is
representative of many farmers as is
the panicky loss of confidence in the
stability of the hog business that
comes in times of low prices. We
should learn to be more optimistic in
hard times and more pessimistic in
good times. The fact that the hog
population of the south decreased
over 100000 head in the recent two
year period means that the farmers
lack an understanding of the market
conditions and not that the industry
is unsafe.
Undoubtedly it would be better for
the industry as whole if these pc
RODS of initiation and defation did not
occur. But we must face the fact that
they do occur and probably will al
ways occur to some extent The thing
to do then is to study them and learn
to take advantage of them rather than

to remain ignorant of how they oper-
ate and thus be at their mercy. BY
taking advantage of these periods the
farmer can make far greater profits
The thing to do is to have a num-
than if such periods did not occur.
Der of the best brood sows saved and
begin breeding them in time to market
the pigs when the prices are high
Then begin wedding out and reducing
the breeding stock before the bottom
drops out of prices so that only few
choice young breeding females will
be left to be carried over the period
OF low prices. Sounds simple, doesn't
it? But it is not so simple as it sounds
because to do this requires a certain
amount of ability to forecast the trend
of the market. However, it is possible
for any reasonably intelligent person
to forecast this trend with sufficient
accuracy if he will study it through
the medium of the market reports and
the articles appearing in the agricul-
tural press. Do not neglect to take
and to read good agricultural papers

day.
But what can we do now? Well, the
time to have prepared to take adj
vantage of the present high prices
was last winter and last spring when
good breeding stock was almost given
away. But it is not too late even now
to make some money on hogs if quick
action is taken. The pigs will have 10
be produced and gotten on the market
without any waste of time. But beware
OF having many hogs on hand after
next summer unless future conditions
indicate that prices will remain good.
Hog raising has a permanent and
important place in the south's agri-
culture. 1t is as permanent as cotton
raising. In fact it may be even more
so for in time, with the continued ex-
odus of negro labor, the cotton in
dustry may move to other countries
