IDEAL WEATHER LIKELY
FOR BIG BATTLE TODAY

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, May 81
Weather conditions early today
were ideal for the ten-rOund inter-
national boxing contest this after
noon between Georges Carpenter
of Paris and Tommy Gibbons of st.
Paul, MINI.
Ii was sunny and warm at
o'clock. with an almost ciOudIcss
sky and "a gentle breeze from the
north of Lake Michigan.
Under these conditions the main
event this afternoon is expected to
start between and 4 O'Clock, CEN
fral standard time, the prelimi-
nnrfeS beginning mt 2 O'Clock.
Among early arrivals of hstic no
tables were Young StribIing of At
lanta. with "Pa" and "Na,, for an
introduction to the famous French
light heavyweight. They spent an
hour at his camp last night.

The majority of the newspaper eX-
pertS We're of the opinion that Glib
bons, if he succeeded in evading Car
pentier's dangerous right hand blow
for four Or five rounds. would be re-
turned the winner. The impression
prevailed among the experts that
Gibbons. instead of intending to fight
Carpenter at close range, probably
would elect to box him and rely on
wearing him down. firing him out
and make him the target for u finish
ing blow in the final round.
Both boxers, however, have prom
ised an aggressive contest. Car
pentier knows no other style. The
French boxer is noted for his tactics
in carrying the fight to his opponent,
always watching for an opportunity
to sneak over his right hand punch
which almost dropped Jack Dempsey.
Carpenter i'll his training continual
ly slashed out with that blow and
crowded into his sparring mates,
indicating he intends to keep as
close as possible to Gibbons, instead
of allowing the fiashy St. Paul boxer
to keep him at a safe distance with
his famous left hand.

During the early innings of the
opening fray two mounted policemen
were kept busy galloping about the
fringes of the outfield, trying to keep
the overflow crowd In order. Repeat
ed charges by the horsemen into a
surging. mass of humanity along the
right field foul line from just behind
first base to the bleachers were
necessary to clear the field for play
after two innings had passed.
Hargrave was trapped off the mid

O'Neills snap throw to Lee. Red had
wandered off the sack and gone into

That homer OF Boone's in the fourth
was a rare drive. The ball landed in
the upper tiers of the center-field

blow in the Washington Park prob
ably would clear the right center
wall.

Ground rules were in order for the
afternoon on account of the big

around the outf1eld, but not into the
bleachers, was good for two bases.

LIFE IN THE DEEP SEA.
Human characteristics Abound
Among Saltwater Residents.

From the Nations Business
Fish stories are important items of
human experience, and the teemjne
life of the sea has ups and downs to
match any fortune of the land. Young
oysters, we are told, settle down to
work after forty-eight hours of max
ing splash in their world.
Some become pearl manufacturers,
and others just hang around the bars
plain old SoakS. Starfish sometimes
visit oyster communities and work
the old she'll game. Well the oys-
terS have made their beds--let them
lie in them. And there are the lin
pets. They prowl around at night,
but always in the morning they man
age to find their own flats on the old
home rock, and so save their faces in
the eyes of the community. All, those
sly, frollicking limpets?
And what armories of teeth-whelks
have from 220 to $50 each, wrinkles
$500, and the umbrella shell about
100000 to the set What a time there
must be when the little umbrella
shells are teething. Whelks, mon!
Life at the bottom of the sea is a
pretty serious business.

merce, according 10 recent an
nouncement by DR.. c. A. Browne,
chYef of the bureau of chemistry. Unit

The text of the letter follows:
"The federal food and drugs act
classes as misbranded an article of
food If 1t be in package form and the
quantity of the contents be not plain
ly and conspicuously marked on the
outside of the package. Information
relative to marketing practices gained
through investigations at points of
production as well as of distribution
and consumption justifies the conclu-
sion that grapes IN lug boxes, whether
lidded or uncovered, are food In pack
age form within the meaning of the
act. The containers should therefore
be labeled with plain and conspicu-
Gus statement of the net contents In
terms of the largest unit, either of
avoirdupois weight or of dry measure,

Anthracnose Disease in
Raspberries Controlled

Anthracnose disease in raspberries
is controlled by cutting out and burn
ing the diseased portions and spray
ing with Bordeaux mixtures. 1t is
possible to eradicate the disease but
1t is very hard to do. Some author
tiles say that 1t does not pay to keep
a plantation of raspberries after it
has produced its third crop. 1t is safe
to set out the new plants within 100
feet because the disease is fungus
and does not spread very easily. Pre-
caution should be taken, however, not
to allow parts of the diseased plants
to be taken over to the new patch. If
all the old plants are removed and
burned, and the ground plowed 1t will
be safe to set new plants out on the
same soil. The disease may be prac-
tically cleaned out If all the diseased
canes are cut out and burned and Bor-
deaux applied as follows: Use 4-4-50
before the leaves appear; when the
leaves are well developed and the
shoots are about six inches high; and
just before the blossoms appear. Later
sprays are made at Today intervals
If the weather Is damp and the dis
ease severe. New plants free from
the disease may be obtained from re
liable nurseries.

Frequent Civilizations
Essential for Potatoes

Potatoes are quick crop In growth,
hence they require very frequent cul-
tivatIon for best growth and maturity
Most farmers do not cultivate their
potatoes often enough to make the
crop as profitable as 1t might be.
Three or four civilizations will keep
the weeds down In potato patch, but
It requires six or eight or more cul-
tivations to produce n fine potato crop.
Every cultivation probably pays bet
ter than for any other cultivated crop.
1t must be remembered. that the po-
tato crop suffers readily from contin-
ued dry weather, and that frequent
CIVILIZATIONS are practically the only
means by which the moisture can be
conserved. Frequent CIVILIZATIONS also
set free much plant food that would
otherwise remain locked up In the
boil. 1t requires only IN hour or Two
to run over quite n cood-siZeh patch
of potatoes with Il horse and cultiva-
.or, and the results are far better than
when hoe is used.

out the bone meal particularly in this
case.
The Dolores star., 1924-09-12
Cottonseed Not Favored
as Protein for Poultry

One of the objections to cottonseed
meal for poultry feeding is its unpal-
atable quality. Birds will not eat as
much of the mash when 1t has cotton
seed meal In 1t as they do when 1t
contains animal proteins. When bone
ash such rs precipltated bone. bone
-four or raw bone Is added to the
mash It has tendency to increase
the value of cottonseed meal and the
birds will eat 1t much better. A very
good supplement to mash containing
cottonseed meal is chalk, pounds, 2
pounds bone meal and 1 pound of
common salt to each 100 pounds Of
mash.
Cottonseed meal has not been popu-
lar with poultry keepers as source
of protein for poultry and this Is
doubtless due to the fact that it is not
very palatable.

Dairy Exhibits

Cows.
Prepared BY the United States p.na,,n.,,
OF AEflcultu1el

tfrepared BY the United States p.nar,n.,,
OF AEticulture)
AS part OF the extension program
on dairying In the western states the
United States Department of AgrlcuI-
ture has prepared three sets of dairy
EXHIBITS, each different from the 9th.
ers, yet all emphasizing the same fun
damental factors underlying success
ful dairying. The main theme in
these exhibits is, it pays to keep good
high-producing cows and feed them
well.
WHAT Exhibits Show.
One exhibit gives the results of cow
testing association studies. II shows
poor cow, representing large group,
that averaged $50 pounds of butterfat
a year. with an income over feed cost
of only S26 per COW. Contrasted with
this is good COW, representing an.
other inrge group. that averaged 300
pounds of butterfat year, with an
Income over feed cost of S7i per year
per COW. The owner of the low pro-
ducers had to house, feed, and care
for three cows to get the same income
over cost of feed that the owner of
the good cows got from one.
These exhibits also show that the
way to get high producers is to use
good bulls, keep records of produc-
ton, Gull the herd. and raise helfers
from the best cows. Having got good
cows, the suggestions are made to feed
literally, have good pastures and use
them properly, provide silage for win
ter feeding. and be sure the ration
contains sufficient mineral matter,
which 1t is suggested should be sup
piled by feeding plenty of alfalfa, clo-
yer, or other legume hay.
Work for High Quality.
One part Of these exhibits empha-
sizes the Importance of producing
dairy products of the best quality.
High quality is associated with such
fundamental practices as clean cows,
small-top milking pals, thorough wash
ing and steaming of utensils. quick
cooling of the milk or cream to low
temperatures. and finally quick and
frequent delivery to market.
Another section compares dairy
cows with single and double-track
railroad. AS the double-track railroad
does more than twice the business Of
a singletra railroad, so the COW that
produces 300 pounds of butterfat a
year yields more than twice as much
income over feed cost as the COW that
produces $50 pounds of butterfat n
year.

Advantages of Grated
Tree Over Those Budded

There are several advantages of the
grated tree, particularly for northern
climates. In the first place. the graft
ed tree is decidedly harder. provided
the scion is Of hardy variety. This
is due to the fact that the scion por-
tion Of the tree when grated is plant
ed several inches below the surface of
the ground while in the budded tree
the Seeding portion. which may not be
hardy, comes to the surface of the
ground and sometimes few inches
above.
Another point in favor of the graft
ed tree is that such trees are apt to
vary much less than budded trees be-
cause such trees are often scion-root-
ed, thus eliminating their variable
lty.
Authorities in northern sections are
giving considerable attention to these
advantages of grated trees for the
North.

Arou,1dN N
OrchardM
COVER CROPS MUCH
BENEFIT TO TREES

Cover crops, provided adequate
moisture is present for both the trees
and the crop. are of considerable bene-
mt to the orchard. If the crop is
leguminous, ii adds nitrogen to the
soil and in all cases 1t provides a ia.
vorable medium for growth Of soil or.
ganisms and improves the physical
condition of the soil
1t Is well known that certain bac.
terra grow in nodules formed on the
roots of legumes. These bacteria have
the power of fixing" atmospheric nj
trogen, that Is. changing It from q
form practically useless to the plant.
to one which is readily absorbed. The
addition of this element plays an i'm
portant part in maintaining q perma-
nent agriculture
1t Is not so generally known that
there are many kinds of microscopic
organisms that occur in the soil. These
are of many sorts. both animals and
plants being among them One of the
important kinds Is the ammOnifying
bacteria. These bacteria take the
complex forms of nitrogen compounds,
such as proteins. and digest them with
the production of ammonia. small
amount of ammonia is used directly
by the plant. A much larger amount
Is transformed to nitrates by another
group Of bacteria, and still another
group carries the process further to
the nitrate stage. This is probably
the form in which most nitrogen used
by the plant is absorbed
Besides these organisms working in
the soil on the forms of nitrogen. there
are many acting on other compounds.
such as those of sulphur, iron and
phosphorus. They also help to put
the elements into form suitable for
absorption by the plants. In order
that these beneficial processes may be
carried on in the soil. it Is necessary
that a proper environment be sup
piled. This is very greatly aided by
the use of cover crops.
1t has been found that the ability of
the soil to maintain desirable tex
ture is greatly Influenced by the
amount of certain materials present In
it. An important group of these mate
rials is supplied to the soil by the de-
composition of cover crops. They tend
to prevent pudding of the soil, espe-
cially heavy soils, where this is apt to
be serious. They also increase the
water-holding capacity of the soil,
which is especially important in re-
gion of prolonged dry weather.-E. L.
