WILL mm y mh 5rt JWA RESTA AND DE PA1MA EXPECTED XO MEET IN CINCINNATI EVENT. Lovers of auto speed contests may look forward to another duel between Dario Resta and Ralph Da Palma in connection with the Second Annual International Sweepstakes race, to be decided at the Cincinnati Speedway on Decoration Day, May 30. Unlike former contests between these two famous drivers, the battle this year will be fought out with American-made cars, a fact which will add' zest to the meeting of these international star3. Soihe time ago -it was announced that Resta had decided to retire from the racing game, a report that was deplored by all lovers of speed contests because of the prominent place occupied by Resta in the racing game. More recently it was reported that, R6sta had joined the staff of the Mer-1 cer Motor Car Company, and this news was further intensified yesterday when the officials of the Cincinnati Speedway ;were informed that the Mercer company had secured reservations in a local hotel for a crew of ten men, who will arrive on May 15 for the purpose of getting the Mercer entries In the big race into shape. The natural inference from theses 1 reports is that Resta has been induced to reconsider his resolve to retire from racing, and that he will come to Cincinnati on Memorial Day to drive a Mercer car. This will bring him ' into direct competition with his mostj formidable rival of many years, Ralph De Palma, who on Tuesday entered j his 12-cylinder Packard car in the ! 250-mile race. The 'fact that bothj Resta and De Palma will drive Amer-; ican-made cars will add zest to the J contest between these stars and the other great drivers in the race, a majority of whom will be seen at the wheels of ma chines that have originated in America. l585SnP WILL dec; Mm 1 i 1 NON-PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS WILL ENTER RACES AT SPEEDWAY. Definite announcement has been made by the Amateuij; Race Board of the Cincinnati Speedway, through, W. G. Welbon, chairmani of the exact classification of cars (that may start in the three amateur iSaces now being arranged in connection with the Second Annual International SweepStakes, to be decided on the Cincinnati Speedway on Decoration Day, May 30. The first race, which will be sent away immediately after the early aviation exhibition by Ruth Law, KatherX n Ci- ' . Tl 1. A J 3 n. . , J , l e t i will be a 20-mile contest for Ford cars exclusively. Three prizes will be offered, with the title of champion Ford driver of the Ohio Valley going to the winner. The second race will be for stripped stock car chassis over a course of 20 miles ten laps of the track. This race will be limited to cars having a piston displacement of from 231 to 300 cubic inches, and promises to be one of the most hotly contested events ever staged on any speedway. Three prizes 3iso win De ouerea m mis event. The third contest of the amateur program will be a free-for-all stripped stock car chassis race, open to any make or size of car, and bringing out a large number of eight and twelvecylinder machines. T FLYERS PEED WAY El! J8i RUTH LAW, KATHERSNE STINSON AND BAXTER ADAMS TO ; GIVE EXHIBITIONS. With the arrival of a contract for the appearance of Katherine Stinson, the noted international aviatrix, at the Cincinnati Speedway on Decoration Day, May 30. as an added feature to the Second Annual International Sweepstakes race, the officials of the Speedway feel justified in announcing the greatest aviation ever staged in this section of the cdantry. The acquisition of Miss Stinson to the list of flyers gives the Speedway three of the most nof-d air pilots in the world as a M -morial Day attraction, the contract of Ruth Law, who holds the woman's Irrs :-anoe flying record in a flight from Chicago to New York, having already been received, while Baxter Adams, reputed to be the equal of any airman in America in the matter of giving thrilling exhibitions, will be added to the list within the next few days. According to the .present plans of the Speedway officials the day's sports will be inaugurated with a series of thrilling aviation exhibitions by Miss Law, Miss Stinson. Adams and others, Following tlis there probably will bo one or more motorcycle races. The next feature will be the urcö raco3 for amateur auto drivers, after which a second aviation program will be given, the day's sport concluding with the 250-mile Second Annual Interna.tional Sweepstakes race, the contostants in which will' bo sent off promptly at 2:30 o'cIqcJc.

Are All Protptrous" Amerioa Fully Fifty Years BaJitad Europa. "Farming practices la vogue upon a great majority of the cultivated tract Harvey W. Wileyf former chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture. "In agriculture we are fully fifty years behind Europe, and the hotter utilization of our farm resources is one of the most important problems before the country. '01d fashioned, slipshod methods of producing wheat and cotton and corn are still in vogue In over 05 per cent of the country devoted to these Industries," said Dr. Wiley, continuing hit Impeachment of our lax farming DB. HA It VEX W. WILEY. methods. "The growing of theat crops until within a few years could not have been ranked as agriculture, but should have been described aa highway robbery of the soil. As a result the average production per acre of these crops has fallen to a minimum. "Farming, for one thing, must be made more attractive. It should b made more profitable. This will be ! done as our farmers learn more thor- ! oughly the principles of intensive culti vation and get a knowledge of tha methods of feeding the soil and of tha rotation of crops. "To this end I have been preaching for the past thirty years the gospel of the sugar beet "The production of the sugar beet requires the highest stj'le of intensive culture that seien has been able to suggest. The principles of feeding the sugar crops, the methods of culture and handling, the attention and skill of the workers, are such aa to create in every field and factory devoted to sugar culture an agricultural experl ment station of the highest type. Tha soil and climatic conditions in the greater part of the United Statos are thoroughly favorable to beet culture, and America Is the greatest sugar market in the world. "In the case of the sugar beet the crops which are grown in rotation with It yield very much larger returns than when the old fashioned system of agriculture prevailed. The reflex action of this influence becomes a benefit to American agriculture the value of which it would be difficult to measure In dollars and cents, j "Wherever the sugar beet is'culti- ' vated the farmers are all prosperous. uo matter what kind of other crop they raise. The beet generally Improves the productiveness of the soil in all kinds of agriculture. It causes tha employment of more labor and Inllriectly benefits commerce and transportation and produces in every community conditions of prosperity in agriculture which it -would be difficult to bring about In any other way. "The culture of the beet brings Into the neighborhood the large sugar factory using fuel and other raw mate rial,, with its complement of laborers and experts, thus giving a better and more profitable market to the surround ing farmers for all their products. "While there has been a general tendency toward the reduction of tariff duties, this tendiniy has not reached In many eases the estent of the abolition pf import duties altogether. In any changes of sort let as much as posthe farmer. In view sible be sarvi of the great Importance of domestic sugar production, to the prosperity of the American farmer. If tariff adjastments are to be made, I believe that this should be the last rather than th I first point at which to remove the customs duty. "One of the best things about sugar beet culture from the point of view of agricultural improvement is that It flta in so perfectly with dairying and stock ' growing.
