Dempsey Rocks The Giants

Wills is taller and heavier than
Dempsey. His reach is longer, and
he is only three years older. You
can throw Wills physical superiorl-
ties out in considering Dempsey. AS
the world knows the chafpon is al
ways at his best when fighting big
ger men. He demolished the huge
Willard and battered the giant Firpo
INTO Il hulk.
But Gibbons, the light heavy
weight, held him off for Is rounds.
An exception was Carpenter, also a
Eight heavyweight, who went out in
four rounds. The frcnchman, how
ever, had little real ability aside
from Il fine straight right-hand
punch and he fought rash, heed
less fight besides. The bigncss OF
Wills will have no bearing on the
outcome of a Dempsey fight.

NASH MOTOR co. TAKES
OVER MITCHELL PLANT

Racine-The Nash Motor Co., of
Kenosha and Milwaukee, late Satur-
day afternoon took over all real es-
tate and improvements of the Nit
chell Motors Co., bankrupt, of Racine,
when attorneys for the two compan-
les filed deeds for the transfer of the
property and the amount of $405,000
was paid to the trustee of the bank
rupt company.
The property taken over by the
Nash Co., which includes 35 acres of
land and modern factory buildings,
was appraised at the time of the
bankruptcy at $1,095,000. What
plans the Nash Motors Co. have for
the use of the Mitchell plant no one
appears TO know. Charles w. Nash,
president of the Nash Co., refuses to
make any statement as to future
plans of his company, relative to the
Racine plant, until he has received a
complete report from the engineers
who are making an inspection and
will determine what changes should
be made in order to have a modern
automobile plant.

last six years there has been an at
tractive market for both the seed and
the straw, and flax growing has been
comparatively profitable Since 1916,
The price for seed has averaged better
than $500 a bushel except in 1921. In
that year the price was not so good,
averaging around S1.50. In 1922 flax
seed ranged from $500 to $500 a
bushel. The price paid for flax straw
during 1922 ranged from $500 to
5000 ton, baled and delivered to
railway stations.
The acre yield Of flax in Wisconsin
is generally good and usually ayerag-
es better than that of any other flax
producing state On suitable soil a
yield of Is bushels Of seed and ~
tons of straw an acre may be ex-
pected.
The labor Of producing flax is
similar to that for such small grains
as oats and barley, but the cost of
threshing is somewhat greater. Seed
for planting is not expensive, as only
two or three pecks are planted to the
acre.
Not having any experience in feed
inc rye to stock, many farmers are
questioning whether rye is a good
grain for this purpose. F. B. Nor
rison of the staff Of the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station is
assuring rye producers that rye can
be used with entire success for stock
feeding. He is, however, urging all
growers to see that it is not badly
contaminated with ergot, for this
fungus growth, which causes the pro-
duction of elongated, black irelnels
in the head of rye, is poisonous to
stock. If there is much ergct in rye,
trouble, he believes, MAY be eSper-
fenced in using it for feeding purpos-
es, especially with breeding stock, for

must be coated with a fine mist of
spray Coarse spattered spray is
worse than useless for thus much of
the leaf and fruit surface is left un-
covered with spray solution, hence is
unprotected from the infection of the
exceedingly small spores of the
fungus diseases and the attack OF in

pressure must not be less than 100

have less than $50 to $50 lbs. pres

Coat both sides Of the leaves but
avoid excessive dripping from the
leaves, in which case foliage burn
may result providing tie weather is
hot and clear.
Spray at the right time. It is
fully as important to know why to
spray as it is to know how to spray.
Ii we learn TO know the habits and
developments of the insects and
diseases, we will be able to apply the
spray at the time when it will be
most efficient. The Wisconsin Ex-

habits and the development Of both

 A letter dtopped on the floor of the headquarters of the Virginia delegation at the whig national convention in Harrisburg, December, 1899, resulted in the nomination of Gen.

And no less q parsonage than Thaddeus Stevens played the letter as his trump card when the nomination depended upon the action of the Vir- ginia delegation. .p
 Three days of heated sessions had passed without the selection of nomi- nee. Henry Clay, probably the ablest of the three candidates under consider ation, and for q time the most popular, was eliminated by the anti- Masonic ele- ment, leaving General Harrison and Genera, Winfield Scottsin the running, with the vote of Virginia as the decid- ing factor.
 Both of the candidates were of Old Dominion birth, therefore satisfactory to the Mother of Presidents. but senti- ment favored Scott to such degree that his nomination appeared inevita- ble. Now it happened that Scott was one of the country's original ready let ter writers, and, like many another fluent correspondent, he was not al. ways discreet.

At this juncture. when something un- usual wfs demanded to avert the de- feat of Harrison fStevens had been promised a place in his cabinet) the Pennsylvania leader called at the crowded Virginia headquarters and dropped the letter. It was picked up, read and circulated as planned, with the result that a few hours later Vir- ginia went solid for Harrison John Tyler, leader of the Clay forces, was unanimously named for Vice President.
 One of the most unusual campaigns in political history followed. In fact, it was the first in which the populace was moved to high emotional in- tensity. The supporters of Martin Van Buren for a second term assumed q, dignified superiority, referring so General Harrison as the log cabin and hard cider candidate, to which the whigs responded with a yeritable tempest of shouting, songs and oratory, They capitalized to the full the popu. larity of Harrison as a war hero, based on his defeat of the English and In. dians at Tippecanoe.
 "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too," was the 'battle-cry. Crowds paraded through the street singing:
 Farewell. dear Van,
 You're not the man <
 To guide the ship.
 We'll try old Tip
 And the voters. decided by an over whelming majority that dear Vann was not the man. But no doubt the whigs would have yelled just as Justify for General Scott, had it not been for the letter dropped so opportunely by Thaddeus Stevens.
