Midwest Conf. Cage Tournament
In Nashville, Tenn, This Week
Jackson College Faces Tough Opposition
To Hold The Championship

GRAMBLING, La. - Especially
Eight sinister black vans bear
ing Midwest conference basket
ball teams will invade Nashville,
Tenn, Feb. 1920 for the annual
loop meet.
High echelons at Tennessee ex-
pect capacity crowds for the three
day battle. The tournament will
q be staged in Tennessee's spacious
new gymnasium which seats 5000.
Action is expected to be as wide
open as Mr.. Joe E. Browns mouth.
Jackson college is the loops
hauble-bearer, but Texas Southern,
Tennessee State and Lincoln uni
versity will enter the fray deep in
talent and favored to hack proud
heads from strong necks.
However, they will encounter
difficulty trying to trip the switch
against such gifted clubs as Ken
lucky State, Central State, Hous-
ton Tillotson, Jackson and Gramb-
ling.
All the clubs have war-tough-
ened skeletons and nobody is ex-
pected to 60 into the tournament
completely overmatched.
Favorite TSU, currently running
hot streak of 10 straight games,
is one of the nations highest scor-
ing clubs. Ed Adams five-legged
Tigers, gifted at running and
shooting, are also magnificent
down the backbone.
The Texans have hit the century
mark eight times this season and
boast bench deep in talent.
Tennessee, always a desperate
clutch hand in tournament play,
has push-button direction and the
squad is cut from championship
fabric.
Last spring the Tigers won the
NA1A district-at-large tournament
and participated in the National
Tournament in Kansas City.
Wolfish Robert Hopkins of
Grambling, the nations highest
scoring Negro college eager with
TIA points, heads the list of stel-
lar stars slated to see action in
the tournament.

Negro USDA
Worker Gets
Award For Labor
Saving Device

WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. Is
Especially - The award of salary
increase of $50 a year has been
given to John A. Weems, a laborer
at the Beltsville, Md, Research
Center Of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, for designing
device for pulling sheet piling.
Adoption Of the device, which
makes it possible to pull up shtN
ing from ditch banks IL times as
fast as with chain or cable, will
cut the cost of this work on the
12,0O0-acre research farm by about
$500 a year, says Wade H. Roby,
superintendent Of mechanical shops.
The square cornered, U shape
device with a loophole attachment
on the side for being hooked to a
crane cable is simply slipped around
the boards which have been driven
into the ground to shore up ditch
banks. Pull of the crane cable
causes the device to grip the
board and pull it up.
Mr.. Weems lives at Beltsville
and has been employed at the Re-
search center since 1851. The with

GrambIing Takes
1870 Game
From AIcorn

ALCORN, Miss. (SpeciaI-The
Grambling Tigers ended week of
bleak despair here Friday night by
working up a fresh set of horrors
to torture the Alcorn Braves, 1910.
Unzipped earlier by Texas Sou
thern and Bishop in three of four
outings, the underprivileged Tigers
arrived in Mississippi stepped in
morose gloom and living on a poor
mans diet of bread and water.
Eddie Robinson's piteous Serfs
harvested their biggest Jumps of
the campaign in losing to TSU,
81-44 and 67-62, and continued the
sickness skid by bowling to Bishop,
6O-59 before Robert Hopkins asked
for a new deck of cards.
With the smell of gore hot in
his flaring nostrils, big Robert
personally hit Alcorn fore and aft
with 25 points to help stroke the
boiler back to normal pressure.
'Lil' Abner's" thunderous job
raised his season total to 7O3 points
for 81 outings.
Grambling made brisk starts
against TSU but Ed Adams pre-
mier five was superbly equipped
for the skirmishes and frightened
all the Gramblings but Hopkins
right out of their silk scanties.
TSU couldn't hit "Lil' Abner's"
fast breaking stuff with a barn
door and he flung in Is points in
the opened and increased his &C
curacy to whopping SO in the
finale.
John Barber took popularity
honors by logging 81 points for
TSU. Cliff Crawford flipped in
16 in the final winning exhibition.
Bishop tackled the Tigers with
lion-like fury Monday and sweated
out a one-point advantage in a
contest bereft Of ingrowing bore
dom.
Grambling shackled the Blues
1868 the following night.
The Tigers riddled Alcorn on
both flanks Friday and battered
the center with a simmering fast
break. Osborne Jordan kept the
Braves from a state of total col
lapse by looping II points.
Joe Johnson and Payne Mont
gomery grabbed runner-up honors
by sinking their spurs for Is points.
The Grambling girls crushed AL
corn 57-24 and battered TSU 1928
and 1920.

In 1913, the Farmers Union Central Ex-
change purchased a refinery in Laurel, Mon
tana. The photograph at the right shows it
in 1858, after a SIS 900 900 expansion and
modernization program has been completed.
'tBiack gold'' or crude oil from wells in
Wyoming and Montana is it's raw material
and from it more than $12 ,0O0, 900 worth of
petroleum products are refined each year.
Gasoline, Diesel and oil burner fuels, pro-
pane gas, and asphalt flow from it's huge
storage tanks to farms and cities in Mon
tana, North and South Dakota.
The Laurel refinery converts a natural re-
source into essential products . creates
wealth within the state. In itself, it makes
a healthy contribution to Montana's econ
omy, but its benefits are widespread for an
other reason. The refinery is owned by
1000 farmers and the earnings that it
makes belong to and are returned to them.
Since the refinery started operations in
1943, $11 100000 has been distributed to
those who own it and buy it's products. The
net result is a big SAVING to the farmer who
is using more and more petroleum products
as he mechanics more and more of his farm
operation.

higher attitudes near the mountains
This is the priceless ingredient"
found in such high percentages in
all Montana soils and extends south
and north from Montana along the
mountains down to attitudes of about
1000 feet in this states latitude.
When domestic cattle were intro
duced to this region, like their pred
ecessors the buffalo, they too drank
the water in the small pools" on
the prairies. The reason is the water
in the streams flowing from the
mountains is largely snow water.
When the animals are accustomed
to the water in the pools" (buffalo
wallows) the pure snow water is flat
and tasteless to them. The lime in
the soil where their food grows and
again in the water they drink is
largely responsible for the remark
able strength" of the grasses in
these regions.
Today, the higher rainfall in
the lower attitudes, the longer and
more continued cropping of the
soils, and the stirring and tilling Of
the soils when they are cultivated
causes this and other soil elements
to leach out and down as well as
being lifted by crops. For this reason
the older regions which have been
settled and farmed much longer, now
have to replenish some of these ele-
mentS.
Railroading 10 Farming
Building railroads in the 1905
was almost as 1aborious as pushing
pirogues up the Missouri River in
1906. Most of it was done by man
and mule power. AS Montana is over
600 miles long east and west and a
lot of cross lines were built about
the same time a large number of
laborers were needed. They were
largely men from Europe, men who
came from agricultural pursuits in
their native countries.
These men knew soils and as they
were digging in these soils every
day looking over the vast plains
they were hungry to push a pillow
into them. The railroads were anx-
ious to see the prairies producing q
more paying freight in great volume
than the cattle industry. AS these
laborers dropped from the pay rolls
and some of them while they were
part-time employed by the railroads
they began to do little farming OF
some piece of land they acquired
Then came some change in law,
which favored the settlers. By the
time the. first 100 years had beer
completed in 1905 to 1906 there wer,
scattered fields of wheat in the NOR,
favored spots. In 1909 only 25O,0OI
acres were planted to wheat in
state that harvested 6,056,000 acre
in 1858 and which produced ia, 174,
900 bushels.
The first 100 years of development
in Montana were past and the prog
