FIGHT HAS FINE
 SUPPORTING CARD
Preliminaris to Delaney.SolO- mon Bout Better Than Average

Hartford, April 24,--Beneath the Jack Delaney. King Solomon bout set for Monday night in the Hart ford State Armory, Matchmaker George Muligan of tho Connecticut A. C. has a supporting card of bet ter than average quality.
 The semi-hna,, for instance, brings together one Of tho leading welter- weights In tho country in Paul Doyle, who will take on Irish Tommy" Jordan. who is blasting his way to recognition among represent atives of this division.
 Doyle is q fighter with world Of color. Ho has been going to the post for about twelve years. and truth to tell, seems to be fighting better than ever.
 Not so many weeks ago the veteran Italian carried off decision ovcr Jack Ziyic in Pittsburgh and his record sparkles with victories over others of the top flight.
 There is talk In New York Of matching Doyle with Benny Leonard for the first bout in the comeback planned by the retired lightweight champion. Doyle would welcome such a match as it would undoubt- edly net him q neat financial re- turn and at the same time would afford him a. chance to battle one | of the greatest fighters the ring game has ever boasted.
 In Irish Tommy Jordan, Doyle should encounter a worthy foe. The Brooklyn boy has been making rapid strides in tho ring the last six months. His most luminous vic- tory within this period was that scored over Larry Estridgc at Albany.
 Jordan, it must also be noted, has already met Doyle. The two mixed about q year ago at Newark, N. J.. in a no-decision bout, which most of the newepapermen called a draw If Jordan comes through with the stuff his past performances would indicate he owns, Doyle is in for one of the toughest bouts arranged fol him in some time.
 In an eight-round tilt, Johnny Breslin, stablemate of Jack Delaney has drawn Ruby Ozark Cloud) Brad ley of Holyoke for his opponent.
 Bresln is hailed as a comer ant If he whips Bradley, as he dop' seems to point that way he vii have taken the measure of a gooc little sCrappcr, It took the fans long time before they came to re
 gard Bradley a.s the real stuff, bu
 now they all pronounce him plent

Manley went out and looked at his
new registered calf that he had
named Onward Boy and he went in
and studied the calf's pedigree and
saw what a good producer his near
ancestors had been. Then Russell
came along and suggested for the
forty eleventh time that they buy
some registered cows
1t was a mighty poor time to
spend money on high priced cows
when the potatoes wouldn't pay for
the fertilizer bill, but Dad was con-
WINGED that he had to do something
and something he did. He made in
quiries and found that Ed ToWle
over in Winslow was doing Register
of Merit work and had some cows
that were producing over 500 pounds
of butter fat year. SO he went
over and Ed sold him registered
Jersey COW with good blood in her
veins.
Manley brought his new cow home
and he weighed the milk from each
cow in the herd and kept the weight
on blanks that he got from the
Farm Bureau, and Russell made
monthly tests for butter fat. The
result was that he had sold all of the
old herd but one or two, and has
bought six more purebreds from Ed
ToWle and one from Ed Page over
near Bangor.
Another result was that while a
year ago last winter the weekly
churnings of butter from IS grade
cows averaged about so pounds, last
winter the Cummings ran as high as
IS pounds from eight cows.
One of the registered Jersey
heifers that Mr.. Bailey bought from
Ed Towle is named Success. There
is more to it, but that is enough to
live up to. Success gave 97.44
pounds OF butter fat on Register of
Merit test in 81 days, and in the
nine months that Manley has owned
her she has produced 29S.34 pounds
of butter fat. Another young heifer.
Lady. is pressing hard on the heels
of Success, having produced 293. Al
pounds of butter fat in the same
period.
Another heller. Fanny. grand

Needless to say that Manley
Bailey's attitude toward cattle has
completely changed. He is now en-
| thusiastic and real Jersey man.

COrnville Farmer Who
Believes In Alfalfa

Mr. Chester Wood of Cornville,
probably one of the biggest farmers in
the county, is one of the men who
have become convinced this year OF
the value to be obtained by growing
alfalfa. Three acres have been seed
ed with a nurse crop of barley.
Mr. Wood is and has been some
what of an experimentor. so instead
of planting just one variety of al
falfa, has used three. They are:
Grimms' Northern Grown, Cossack.
and Canadian VeriGated. All three
varieties are doing exceptionally
well: are Of good height and color.
Four tons Of lime was used and the
land had been well dressed pre-
viously. One field has number of
alfalfa plants which were seeded
many years ago, which are still
thriving. The seeds were planted
one by one, being dropped by hand
by an owner on the farm now rented
by Mr.. Wood. The success of these
plants leading him to believe that
alfalfa could be grown successfully
If the methods approved by the Ex-
tension Service were carried out.
Mr.. Wood has been on his present
farm II years and has since bought
one other adjoining and rented still
another. He has IS head of cattle;
keeps milk records, using an adding
machine to total his figures at the
end of the month. There is total
crop acreage of Sc acres; % acres
of oats. IL acres of barley, IL
acres of enSilage corn. 10 sweet corn,
8 alfalfa. l of potatoes. l millet,
Indian wheat, yetch, and IL acre of
peas.
A tractor is one of the indispensa-
bic pieces of farm machinery owned
by the Woods and is in almost con-
slant use.
To help carry on the farm business.
he is especially fortunate in having
almost his entire family at home,
something quite uncommon on most
farms. There is Carl, who Is the
Oldest, followed by Ruby. Addison,
and Helen. Then there is one mar
ried sister not at home. The last
three have been in club work during
the past few years. haying' finished
their projects in fine shape every

O. D. Dean of Scion, Crops Pro-
ject Leader for the County. eX
perimented during the past two
years with Sweet Glover. The value
Of lime and potash were very poor
ly proven to him this Spring es
pecially in growing such crops as
Sweet Glover and Alfalfa In the
Fall of 1925 very fine stand OF
Sweet Glover was secured. This
Spring, with the exception of about
two So. rds.. the acre seeded was
far inferior to the previous years
crop. The two So. rds. mentioned
had some years ago stack OF
straw located there, which was later
burned. This returned considerable
lime and potash to the ground on
which it stood and an excellent
stand of Sweet Glover resulted.
Mr.. Dean has cut one crop and
plans to pillow in the second growth
after applying medium application
of manure, and plant corn the com
ing year. Mr.. Dean also has an acre
of alfalfa seeded this year that is
doing exceptionally well Two tons
of lime was applied to the acre and
when the soil was tested by the
County Agent only the slightest
trace of acidity was found.

A number of men have seeded to
sweet clover in Somerset County
but probably Ansel Newton of
Skowhegan, has been the most
successful of any man planting this
roughage in the county.
First the land was very carefully
prepared in previous years for the
starting of such a crop. In 1922
the three acre plot was a pasture,
well filled with moss. In the Fall of
1922 the pasture was piowed up and
in the Spring of the following year
about 25 loads of manure were ap-
Piled per acre and a combination of
900 lbs. of Acid Phosphate and
Potash applied 1t was then seeded
TO oats. In the Fall of 1928 it was
again plowed and like prepare
ton made as the year before. 1t

the reader may see from his picture.
Then something else happened
Russell, the son, came home on a
vacation from the University OF
Maine where he was taking a course
in the College of Agriculture. Rus
sell had learned how to test milk for
butter fat and he thought he'd like
to try his new knowledge out on
Dads herd. The result was a real
surprise. Manley had known for
some time that there Nas a screw
loose somewhere and when Russell
made the first test, he found the
screw. Most of the cows tested re-
| markedly low in butter fat.
Then another thing happened
Seems that Shakespeare was right
when he said that troubles come in
battalions. The bottom dropped out
of the potato market with a dull
sickening thud.

, was then seeded to Japanese Millet
which grew better than six feet.
In the Spring of 1925. 600 lbs Of
Acid Phosphate and $500 lbs. of lime
was applied per acre. 1t was then
seeded to Sweet Glover and regular
grass seed mixture. The crop grew
to good height and was estimated
to yield about two tons of Sweet
Glover per acre.
This season it took about five
days to cure the crop. which was
made III the cock. Although Mr..
Newton is well satisfied with the
growth and yield, he does not feel
that it is good crop to be grown
for hay, although as a soil builder
or possibly a pasture, it can not be
excelled. Mr. Newton also has
tried alfalfa and appears to have a
good catch this year. Alfalfa can
safely be seeded on fields pre-
viously growing Sweet Clover

Paris Stores Close
For Months Vacation

Paris, --(P)-"Fermeture annuelle'
Is a sign on many of the small
stores of Paris during August and
American tourists are astounded that
SO many Frenchmen in business shut
up their stores for a month and go
away on vacation. Stores of all
classes which are family affairs just
lower their iron shutters for a month
and the whole family goes to the
seaside or mountain resort
The American may take his vaca :
ton, but he sees that business as
usual continues in his store. The
Frenchman believes that the family
should get away to the country OF
the sea for a month and they
all go together. He is sure his
clients will be back with him when
the store re-opens, and, anyway, he
argues, many of his clients are away
on vacations so why should he keep
open for the few who remain.
