World Flood

The ancient tradition common
among all primitive peoples Of q
worldwide flood is now thought by
scientists to have been sound. The
cause Of the oceans rise may have
been the melting of the ice-cap at
the North pole at the end Of the
last ice age, which occurred about
10000 years ago. According to Sir
Edgeworth David, famous AustraF
ian geologist, the level Of the en-
tire ocean would be raised 80 feet
II the whole antarctic barrier melt
Cd. Practically every seaport
town would then be under water.

Whistler Didn't Hold Job

James McNeill Whistler, famous
artist, once was q craftsman In the
United States coast and ge0detic
survey, but he could not hold Job.
The painter and etcher insisted On
decorating the maps and charts
assigned to him to make, with
pretty little drawings scattered
along the margins. Because Of this
and the fact that he insisted on
doing all his drawing In his own
way, Whistler did not remain long
IN the service Of the United States
government.

GamewOOd Plantation
MOtoriZes Cultivation

Gamewood plantation, one OF homes
larger delta hill plantations, owned by
George S. Beall, Jr., and his son, John
Howard Beall, who manages the place,
has introduced an innovation in farm
ing practices by the purchase OF two
latest models of the Farmall tractors,
and will utilize the machines in the
cultivation of 80 acres of land the COM
ing year.
The Farmall is new type of tractor
and cultivator, states Mr.. Beall, that has
met with wonderful success in planting
lines, under checking system that al
lows the machine to handle around 35
acres of ground in one day. Beginning
with a system the machines plant
methodcally in manner that is later
cultivated with attachments made especi-
ally for the purpose, the tractors doing
the work of mules.
Fifty acres of oats and lespedeza are
being planted this week, states Mr..
Beall, and more feed crops will be added
later in the corn and cotton plans.
Another machine will be added later,
continued Mr.. Beall, to handle demands
of the plantation.
Gamewood plantation is one of the
model farms of this section and with
the management under the direct super
vision of John Howard Beall, gradual,
agriculturist of A. & M. College, the
farm is rapidly assuming an aspect OF
large operations under efficient cult
yation methods of practical economy.
The owners of the plantation have
spent much time investigating the Farm
'aalls in the delta sections used and after
seeing the work accomplished and re.
suits obtained, added the system to theil
planting operations.

feating Canton at every stage of the
game and local supporters who motored
over to witness the affair sat comfor-
tably throughout the games without
straining themselves to follow the
scores.
The boys team led by Captain Povall,
and ably assisted by Henley, Holloman,
Herbert, Pickens, CHM, Lawshe and
Bailey, performed like veterans in their
respective roles and Canton was out
played and out-generaled on the floor,
obtaining but few chances to toss goal.
while the Lexington quintet continued
to add to their figures with clock-like
regularity. When the referee sounded
the final whistle, Lexington had chalk
ed A points to their opponents 13, Civ
ing them a fast clean game of basket
ball and sportsmanship combined.
