LESPEDEZA.

Our folks are putting their les
pedeza seed crops in market condition
and the movement of seed to market
will begin early with the new year.
1t is still too early to state definitely
the quantity of lespedeza seed produc-
ed in Rowan this year, except to re-
fleet that our early estimate of a
million pounds was under, rather than
over as some thought. Information
comes to the office that one seed
cleaner in the county has already
cleaned twenty thousand bushels OF
seed whichin itself is one half million
pounds. 1t is important that all seec
be thoroughly cleaned if it is to BE-
offered for sale thru the seed trade
and in that connection Rowan arc
fortunate in having several first clas:
seed cleaners in operation at this time
and doing a first class job of cleaning
A Seed Laboratory report on one or
one lot of very badly infested dodde1
seed coming to my office reads a
follows; purity 1915 per cent; iner'
matter ~; other crop seed, none
Weed seed .O2. The weed seed con
sisted of 80 crabgrass seeds to thu
pound. This illustrates the manner ii
which our seed cleaners are operat-
ing on seed proper condition to clean
A seed Laboratory report on another
lot reads as follows; purity 1896 pei
cent inert matter 1.56; other CROP
seed none; weed seed 4.48. The 4.4S
per cent of weed seeds include $50
seeds of Dodder per pound of sample.
This lot of seeds could not be sold on
any seed market, either in or out of the
state on its analysis and the trouble
here was hal the seed was not in
proper condition for cleaning when
taken to the cleaner.
POULTRY.
The State Department of Markets
will operate a poultry car thru Sails
bury in early December and again be-
fore Christmas if there be sufficient
demand for this service to warrant
its operation. The Department of
Markets operats these poultry cars
only where these is evidence of a
surplus over local demand and never
in competition with strong local de-
mand for the poultry of the surround
ing territory Our office will be glad
to cooperate in any way with the most
satisfactory market arrangement if
any need be made local demand.

Railwaymen
Have Lost Positions

Washington.-During the bust
ness depression railroad executives, act
ing for the owners of the railroads.
have removed 100000 railway en-
ployes from the payroll.
In addition, the railroad executives
have used bor~-displacing machinery
to put 100000 railway workers in
the jobless army.
This is the tabloid picture of the
economic conditions under which rail-
way employees live exhibited by B. D.
Robertson, president of the Brother
hood of Enginemen and Fireman, in
his testimony before the .LaFolletta
subcommittee of the Senate consider
ing the advisability of establishing a
National Economic Council.
Mr.. Robertson said the number of
railway employees in the last few years
had dropped from 100000 to l.
100000, and that another 10000 or
10000 would be jobless now if the
amount of available employment had
not been prorated.
He said railway employees had made
proposals to the railway executives
for stablizing work, but the executives
had turned a deaf ear to the employees
and had proposed nothing themselves.
His own organization, he explained,
had received no cooperation from in
dustry in retaining men rendered job
less by chronological advances.

Harvard Men Laud
 Princeton Proposal

Cambridge, Mass, Jan 20.-UP) The Harvard Crimson, undergrad uate daily, in an editorial to-day, urged Harvard student leaders to follow the lead of Princeton students Tn expressing desire for athletic com petition between the universities in all sports but football.
 Harvard as well as Princeton men are anxious that the two uni versailles meet on the athletic field" the editorial said. "Mr Bingham (director of athletics) has already officially signifed Harvard's eager ness to meet Princeton in any or all sports.
 "As an added gesture of sincerity and friendliness, the Harvard un- dergraduate leaders might well fol- low the example of the Princeton students Given a mandate from their student bodies to schedule each other in all sports except football it would be the clear duty of the athletic officials to put aside their football differences and realize that football in the undergraduate mind is not the end-all of Princeton Ilar- yard sporting contests"

EAGLES BOWLING NOTES

The boys have passed the mid- way mark in the four-lap tourna- ment and more than expert opinion favors Seery as winners in the Ma tional League and Enhorning's out fit in the American. What a post series classic that will be.
 The season has been big success for Captain Johnny Ryan. His boys kayOcd Joe COurtncy's "GalIoping Ghosts" the other evening and JOhnny's expansive smile became as MT Courtney has declined to speak for publication.
 Pat Sullivan of Yum Yum" or Wrigley fame is on the sidelines. His famous right arm has become just an ordinary soup bone and Pat decided to take rest. Here's note, but whether it's social or sporting item will be announced later. Brother Demenske, the ca- nous "Ar' and his Here Comes Help sign has taken Pats place.

Aces and Cadets, Undefeat= ed in Nine Starts, Play First Out=Of=TOwn Games Monday

The annual home and home series between Father Kane's St. Peter midget and junior basketball teams of Danbury and Fritz Klambt's Boys club Cadets and Aces will be re- newed Monday night when the local quintets invade Danbury for the first set of games.
 The Aces are to meet the St. Pe- ter Darochial school alumni while the cadets will do battle with the present parochial school team. Last year the two club teams banged out two close wins over the Mad Hat ters at the club gym. but Monday night it may be a different story as the Danbury high school gym is much larger than the Cottage place court.
 The Aces will take the floor with Captain Johnny Griffin, Mike Exar- hou, Arevley Minor, Carmen Rosa. Frankie Day, Tony Rembish and Rocco Rinaldi while the Cadets will depend on Cliff and Howie Lough- lin, Gen Dabelio, Joe Markowich, Pug" Pugliese, Pal Pelegrino, Doe" Champagne and "Weenie" Zenick. Both the Aces and Cadets have yet to be setback in nine starts.

 Someone has suggested 6 father and.sOn contest before the victory banquet is staged. We'll let's trot out the Ryans, the Stcins (nOt tho boys from Mainc) and the O'ROurkcs and let the fur fly.
 The boys said it with flowers at New Years. The bowling commit tee received a beautiful cactus bush and the secretary publicity agent alibi and out front man - poisoned ivy. Such tributes must be deserved.
 The season is not over by long shot, Opines Dr Murray, the Judge Landis of the tournament. One guess. You're right. The doc is starting to hit 'en on the nose.
 It was front-page stuff on the line last week. What an inky Lords team of in-and-outers took three from Sullivan. Maybe the popular P. J. had hunch some thing big was about to break.
 Marty O'ROurke was missed from the lineup last week, but the Eagles are roofing for the well known city electrical inspector to come through his present illness with flying colOrs.

Marbles From The Web Shop

Well, it seems like our friend, Pauline Doe" Dente and his league leading Rubber room bouncers will clinch the championship honors of the Web Shop bowling league in the next few weeks. Starting off the fourth series Dente's charges copped three from the Stampers, one of the three games were won by two pins by the Rubber Room outfit.
 Ken "Noisy" Strout was again the main factor in the Rubber Room teams success. getting high three for the night, with $50 average. In the second tusscl against the Stampers. he pulled a 147 score, and would have beaten Sammy Micale's high single of 1853 for the season, had not Strout fell down in the last two boxes, to deprive him of the hOnOrs.
 Although Toby Smoky" Calo punished the pins hard with aver ages of 94, 116 and 106 for an aver age of 316, beating his anchor man by two pins, the remainder of the Stampers failed to support him in his efforts against the Bouncers, and

The transforming party will make 68 stops in as many cities, villages and hamlets Tn each of these me- tropoi, villayets. and ciudads, Schmeling will do one of three things box three rounds with sparring partner, referee boxing or wrestling match. or just stand up in the mid- dle of the biggest auditorium in town and allow the populace to feast it's eyes on the fine face and figure of the heavyweight boxing champion of the world:
 Three Big Ideas.
 The purpose of the tour is three fold-first, to make the nation de- cidedly Schmeling- -conscious; sec ond, to enrich the coffers of the champion and his managerial board of control; third, to kindle an inter- est in the forthcoming Schmeling- Stribling heavyweight championship fight.
 The itinerary of the boxing en- tourage reads like the route of 1rans- continental milk train, and is undoubtedly the most inclusive transforming tour since the No 3 road companys of Uncle Toms Cab in started in Maine and wandered here and there until stranded.
 The tour begins in Baltimore on the night of February 10. Schmeling .& Co will hit 15 states. the District of Columbia. and Cuba on the trip The states to be honored by the champion and his party include Maryland, North and South Caro- lima. Georgia, Florida. Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Mis- eouri, Oklahoma. Iowa. Michigan and either Indiana or Ohio.
 More states may be added later on. Joe Jacobs. Schmeling's man ager, said.
 Pretty Good Money.
 My desk is filtered with tele- grams asking that this and that city be included on the tour. We will visit all if humanly possible
 Jacobs is confident that the trip will be a financial success.
 We have been guaranteed as high as $7,600 by one city and $5,OO0 by several others. We figure the average will hit something like s2,- OO0."
 Besides Schmeling and Jacobs Bill McCarney, Max Machon, the champions trainer. Eddie Jackson and several sparring partners will make the trip.
 We asked Jacobs If he planned to oArry the same sparring partners all around the circuit.
 "Of that we are not sure. Jack. son will handle the sparring part ners, and he may see fit to pick up fresh consignment here and there"
 The exact date of Schmeling's de- parture for this country will not be known until tomorrow. Jacobs said.

 Scoville made his debut in world championship competition last night with a surprise 50 to B victory over Johnny Layton of Sedalia, Mo, the defending title holder

Princeton, N. l., Jan 2O-UP)- R pr n a tive undergraduate opinion Tt Princeton, Judging by a letter which appeared in yesterdays issue of the daily Princetonian, is in favor of resuming athletic rela- tens with Harvard in all sports eX- cept football.
 The letter, which was signed by the presidents of the three upper classes, 1S captains of athletic teams and the chairman of the undergrad tate council, read in part:
 Tt is our opinion that athletic relations. football excepted, should be resumed with Harvard not at some distant date, but in the imme- diate future. Realizing that the problem involves many intricate de- tails, we on the other hand, feel there is no reason whatsoever to postpone scheduling contests Tn other sports.''
