confidence in America's champion.
Two more opposite types, in play
as we'll in personality, have sell
dom been brought face to face in a
battle for tennis honors of the world.
Suzanne, temperamental to an unus-
ual degree, and nervously on edge,
plays a dynamo, brilliantly versatile
game. Helen, cool and self-reliant-
she has been nicllnamed Poker face"
depends upon the steady and cons
sistent power in her strokes, deliver
ed with almost masculine severity.
To sum up the chief qualifications
of each, Helens stroking pace" is
her greatest asset, plus keen fight
ing spirit and steady nerves, while
Suzanne's advantages lie in her speed
of foot, strategy and experience, sup
porting an unusually effective and
accurate bag of strokes.
Tennis fans who expect to "listen
in" for the result of the Wills-Leng-
len match probably will have to com.
bine it with their radio setting up
exercises tomorrow morning. The
contest is scheduled to start at II a
M, Riviera time, or a. m. eastern
standard time and will be completed
between Z and 8 a. M, when such
broadcasting stations as are on the
air will be devoting their time to

(By plspatcn A. P. wirs,


NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Flooded with
invitations to appear az track meets
in all parts of the country, Charley
Hoff, of Norway, worlds pole vault
record holder, has stated he would
write to athletic authorities in his
home land for an extension of his
permit to compete in the south, the
far west, and Canada.
The popular Norwegian, who has
thrice exceeded the American indoor
record since his arrival, said he was
anxious to respond to as many of
the requests as possible, particularly
as he wants to see America from
coast to coast. Some of the fifty
invitations he has received, how
ever, cannot be filled, owing to con-
flicting dates
Hoff, speaking through an inter
prefer, said he would continue the
practice of bettering his own indoor
record of 1S feet, 11z inches by an
inch or two at each meet
Texas and Washington may be
the first states to see Hoff in out
door performances, since the mar
vellous Norseman has been invited
to compete in the former state dur
ing March and on the Pacific coast
in May. His next appearances in
doors will be at Wilcox A. c., games
here tomorrow and the Norwegian
Turnverein meet next Wednesday.
He then plans to compete at Balti-
more on February 27
Hoff said he had obtained new
sixteen foot pole which he hoped to
use during the outdoor season. The
shaft on which he is now leaping
to indoor records is a fourteen-foot
pole, with a two-foot extension at

| NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Not much
more than four years ago a littl,

From the mass of opinion and pre-

Rotation Is Advisable
in Producing Tomatoes

In the production of tomatoes crop
rotation is advisable regardless OF soil
type or locality. BY this means losses
caused by Insects and diseases are ma
terlally reduced. In m ideal rotation
tomatoes will not follow tomatoes nor
will there be included potatoes, pep
pers. or egg plant. because Of the dan
ger that the latter crops mag transmit
diseases affecting the tomato. In gen
eral, tomatoes should be grown IN n
rotation covering at least four years
and Including one cultivated crop In
addition to the tomatoes and one or
more soil-building crops.

Points to Observe
in Raising Baby Chicks

true one In regard to baby chicks, ac-
corGing to j.. w. Lumb. Kansas state
agricultural veterinarian. a danger
chicken disease, bacillary white
diarrhea. is transmitted through the
egg of the mother hen TO her or
spring, according to Lumb, and while
the infected hens show no visible
symptoms of the disease tie germ is
present and affects the young. As "A
rule the noninfected hen will produce
30 more eggs annually than will an
infected hen. While the eggs Of the
former have n higher percentage Of
%hatchubility and the per ceut of liv-
able chicks from the noninfected
hens is our times as large as the
number of chicks from diseased hens.
Cardinal points TO observe in either
Matching, buying or raising baby
chicks are:
l. Procure eggs or chicks from test
ed nocks or flocks known to be free
from disease.
.. Do not hatch eggs from tested
and non-tested nocLs In the same in

B. Dlsinfect i~ncubators, breeders and
houses.
4. Raise chicks on ground not used
for that purpose the previous year.
8. Follow a carefully @worked-out
system of broodlng and feeding and
thus maintain all the natural resist
unce OF the chicks TO disease.

Value of Lining in
Improvement of Soil
Productivity Greatly In
creased by Application.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricultural
The productivity of many soils can
be greatly increased by the applica-
ton Of lime. Lime acts various ways;
1t helps to break down organic matter,
it corrects acidity, and it improves the
physical condition of the soil. BY
Fastening decomposition of the organ-
ic matter, lime helps to make such
matter available as plant food for
whatever crops may be grown. Lime
Mould not be applied to soils deficient
in organic matter, however, especially
in warm humid climates, without tax
ing steps to maintain or increase the
supply of this essential ingredient, as
otherwise the outcome will be II de
cline in yields. The best way to in
crease the amount of organic matter
in the soil is to apply manur or turn
under green crops, such as crimson
clover, cowpeas, soy beans. red clover,
and hairy vetch. On some low-yieid-
ing land the turning under of Il good
growth of crimson clover has doubled
the yield of the succeeding crop.
Lllut Is frequently uStu " tolltNl
acidity, a condition widely found in
the eastern part of the United States,
and detrimental to the growth of GER
tain crops.
Another result accomplished by lin
ing is an improvement in the physical
condition of the soil. Soils of IA com-
pact nature are rendered more per-
meable, in consequence of which they
become more ~retentive of moisture,
less likely to wash, and more friable.
Sandy soils also are benefited, being
made more retentive of moisture. APP
plication Of lime is particularly bene-
fetal in the case of leguminous crops,
such as clover and alfalfa. Lining
may also increase the availability of
other minerals, such rs potash, by rem
dering them more soluble.
Detailed information relative to
lining soils may be obtained from
state agricultural colleges or the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.

Legumes Check Erosion
by Heavy Root System

Legume crops may check soil ero-
sion in three ways "a by furnish
ing n cover crop, ~ by the addition
of a comparatively large amount OF
organic matter to the soil, and CD
by a heavy root system which tends
to hold the soil. according To a. II,
Karruser Of the agronomy depart
ment, college OF agriculture, unlver-
sity OF Illinois.
Any legume may serve as a cover
crop, but some legumes are especially
adapted to forming a over crop which
will, TO n large extent, prevent erosion
on hill lands. Clovers such as red,
alslke, mammoth. sweet and alfalfa
make excellent cover crops. These
cover and protect the land during the
seasons when erosion Is most likely
10 occur. These legumes are espe-
cially valuable in preventing sheet
washing.
The above named legumes may nc
handled In such n way that they Will
add n large amount OF organic matter
TO the soil and this In turn will help
cut down the possibilities of erosion.
The organic matter In the soil tends
TO absorb the water and In this way
cuts down the volume Of runon. The
organic matter also enriches the soil
and reduces the hazard In growing
cover crops.
The root systems Of the legume
crops play u big purt In checking ero-
sion. The roots hold the soil pnrtl-
Giles together, make the soil more re-
tentlve Of moisture and add organic
matter directly To the soil. The heavy
root systems Of sweet clover and al
falfa are well adapted to this func-
tlon.
