"Foolproof" Timepiece
for Football Officials

The "foolproof" timepiece, con-
structed for use by football officials
and adopted recently at Western con-
ference games, has gained foothold
in the East. For the first time, the
new watch was introduced at a Har-
ward contest when Horween's eleven
met Indiana. J. j. Lipp, the designer,
was one Of the officials at the game.
The timer consists of two separate
mechanisms, one for registering the
time of play and the other for record
ing time out. The watch has To-
minute dial, representing the four 10
minute periods and the 15-minute in
PERMISSION between halves.
In addition, notationS appear on the
dial to remind officials of their duties
under the rules at specific intervals.
There is lug control for starting and
stopping each movement, the snap
back to zero is by a stem press with
safe licking device which prevents
losing the time even if the watch Is
dropped or hit by the ball.

Increased Quantity of Weed

The quantity of weed seeds In
spring wheat shipped to market has
been increasing so rapidly the last few
years that the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is trying to in
duce wheat growers to eliminate the
losses that result. In the case of fax
the proportion of weed seeds, or dock
age" is even larger. The primary
and principal loss is, Of course, in the
fields where weeds cause a loss of
wheat due to crowding and to the
plant food and moisture the weeds
take in competition with the crop.
But the losses do not stop with the
growing crop. 1t costs as much or
more to harvest and thresh weeds as
grain. The common practice is to
send the weeds to market with the
wheat. Hauling 1t to market is ex-
pensive and directly or indirectly the
farmers also pay the freight on weeds
as well as wheat. At the terminal
market the wheat is likely to be grad
ed lower if it is full of weed seed, and
in any event the dockage is deducted
before the wheat is paid for. The
seller is paid only for the wheat.
Dockage is not suitable for milling,
but 1t does make very fair feed for
animals. The value of Screenings"

AWARD JUDGMENT
TO DICK BUTLER
Given $500 for His Efforts
in English Fight.

An echo Of the Tom Gibbons-Jack
Bloomfield fight at Wembley stadium,
London, in August, 1924, resounded in
New York fistic circles the other day,
when Dick Butler, well known in
pugilistic and political affairs, was
awarded a judgment of $500 against
Eddie Kane, manager Of Gibbons and
Sammy Mandell, lightweight cham
pion.
Butler claimed the $4,000 as COM
mission or fee for his efforts in the
early negotiations, which resulted In
making the match. Judge Harmon
Black of the Supreme court agreed
with Butler without sending the case
to the jury, despite the earnest testi-
mony of Charles Harvey, manager OF
Tom Heeney, on behalf of Kane.
The Butler judgment adds another
unfortunate "break" to the long string
suffered by Kane and Gibbons in their
invasion of England three years ago.
Gibbons was to have received $4,000
for fighting Bloomfield, but according
to Kane's testimony, the most he got
was $4,000. 1t was reported at the
time of the bout that Gibbons and Kane
only received $4,000.
The Bloomfield match fell
far below expectations, both as hight
and financial venture. British experts
believed that Bloomfield might break
the rules of the Beckett school and re-
main erect rather than horizontal
while in the ring. 1t was thought that
Bloomfield could sleep in bed which
had not been sprinkled with resin
dust to make him feel at ease.
In his training camp he passed the
test of hearing the clang of doorbellls
and alarm clocks without crashing in
stinctively to horizontal posture. In
the first two rounds against Gibbons,
Bloomfield remained perpendicular, but
this was largely because Gibbons man.

At the opening of the third round

Then he smacked Bloomfield on the
chin and another British heavyweight
was in his natural position of repose,
his shoulder blades on his canvas mat
tress.

Morgan Mare Owned by
Government Wins Race

Covering so miles of mountainous
roads in the remarkable time of 8
hours and 561s minutes, the registered
Morgan mare, Jana, won first place
among eight contestants In the endur-
ance ride held this year at Brandon.
VT.
Jana is a ive-year-old chestnut
mare owned by the United States Nor
gan horse farm, Middlebury, VT, hav-
ing been previously used in farm work
and trained only a short time for this
ride. She was ridden by one Of the
boys on the farm and finished In ex-
cellent condition. The distance was
covered in two consecutive days, 40
miles out one day and the same dis
lance back on the next.
This contest was held in place of
the 300-mile endurance ride which had
been an annual horse event of promi-
hence held at Brandon, Vt. Owing to
the death of Chauncey c. Stillman,
the principal sponsor of the event, no
funds were available for the extern
sive five-day contest of 800 miles. New
England horse enthusiasts were not to
be denied the thrill of an endurance
contest, however, and locally spon-
sored the shorter ride for this year.
The S0-mile ride, over rough and
mountainous roads was considered a
worthwhile event to test the speed
49,
saddle horses, and the time made con-
stitutes a record for an event of this
kind.

1t is possible to eliminate sinking

(2) Be careful about purchasing seed

policy is to treat all seed when there

where winter wheat is grown should
be planted to corn or oats for a year.

ucts Of known quality are essential

clared. National programs for eco
nOmic production or for efficient mar
keting, to be of greatest value to the
poultry industry, must be nationwide
in scope and provide a co-ordinated
program for industry improvement.
This Improvement, if 1t is to be of
greatest benefit, should extend from
the producer to the consumer. 1t
should serve to stimulate an increased
demand for more uniformly graded,
higher quality product. 1t should
carry the benefits which accrue to the
consumer and for which he pays back
to the producer, there to serve as an

'The agencies between the producer
and consumer also should be bene-
flied because a healthier, more stable,
more orderly situation would result.
The risks and losses of the middle
man would be minimized and thereby
better results could be obtained by
them. Such national program Of
poultry and egg standardization in its
ultimate or complete stage of develop
ment would require: g

basis for the purchase of eggs and
poultry from the producer and the
payment of prices with a proper price
differential between the different
grades.
''2. The marketing of eggs and poul-
try through the various wholesale
channels Of trade on the basis of es-
tablished national grades.
"3. The ultimate sale of eggs and
poultry to retailers and by retailers to
consumers on the basis of established
retail grades"
Laws Regulating Sales.
Mr.. Potts pointed out that Califor-
MIA and New York already have passed
legislation which makes mandatory
the retailing of eggs in accordance

sold, compares favorably with oats.
Agricultural advisers suggest that it
would be profitable either to clean the
wheat on the farm or at the country
elevator, in this way retaining the
feed value of the screenings. Seed
wheat, in particular, should be cleaned
carefully SO that weed seeds will not
be planted with the wheat. The an
nual farm feed value of the dockage
produced in North Dakota alone is
estimated at more than $5,OOO,OOO.

Excessive Fattening Is
Not Essential for Test

Cows that are to be started on test
during the winter should be dried off
soon enough as to give them about
eight weeks of rest. Cows that are
just finishing year records should
have the full-time rest; cows that are
in fair to good condition may not need
the full eight weeks to get them in
proper condition. Cows to be put on
short-time tests should be fat at calv-
ing time. Excessive fattening is not
so essential when COWS are to be car
ried through for the longer testing
periods.
