Yet, even though it took one minute and two seconds of the third round before he could convince a trembly-legged, eyescarred, thirty-three-year-old veteran that he had enough, this falling short of perfection should not be held against Joe. He did the job assigned to him and probably the whole Vassar Daisy Chain team could not have done it any better or quicker. Whether he is, by any chance, the same gifted athlete he was before

the Schmeling mistake is something that need not be gone into here. Certainly he entered the ring more blithely than for any other New York appearance up to date. Even before he got his first glimpse of that dreadful Shark- : ey man, who, by the way was the | round-heeled riot of

two rounds and 1.02 later, he was grinning. That, of course, may have been because he was getting his first glimpse of Leon Kettchel, the human beanpole who some day may be stood up to be bowled over in the same alley and under the same benevolent auspices as last night. It also might have been because a youngster, whose best ballyhooers had been doing masterpieces about his “shellshocked” reactions, was at last coming to realize that instead of going into a battle he was facing a pink tea. Anyhow it hardly matters. Keeping his right up high, as he did not against the fairly young and fairly agile Schmeling, Louis started slowly. Perhaps a punch into those whiskers he has never yet had time to grow might have caused him some inconvenience and slowed him up even more. But, even though the leaden-footed, half-bald Sharkey made some motions, which indicated that Joe still has a bit to learn before being better than even money against such two-legged gents as Ettore, Pastor and John Henry Lewis, nothing much happened. Sharkey went through the first round as if surprised that the bad news was so long delayed. So, he pawed his bemused way into the second round, scarcely landing a blow. He went down from a right to the jaw, got up and went down again shortly thereafter from a right, a left and a feeling of futility. In the third round he again was bowled over twice, once sprawling over the lower strand of ropes. After this he got up. He was not as badly beaten as was Louis in the Schmeling fight and it is probable that he expected to go on. But Referee Donovan had already counted ten. So that was that. The battle of “What Does It Prove?” was over and, even though the radio and movie concessionaires may squawk to the high heavens, there will be no rematch. Sharkey now can go back to Boston and impatient customers who have been screaming can get some service again. Sloughed Sailor Need Have No Regrets While explaining how he held the Brown Bomber to a mere count of ten kayo three years after the stalwart Camera won the championship from him by means of a slashing, lone uppercut, the sloughed sailor need have no regrets, though. He got a very handsome 530.928 for his scant moments of light exercise. So he departs with the pleasant feeling that in a town where 6,000,000 people take daily chances of being bowled over by autos, merely because they cannot afford carfare, at least 6,000,000 people are envying his pretty opportunity M nd his bright reward. • • • Not in the Box Score: Dartmouth football fans are worried about Mutt Ray, who recently underwent a back operation. The crack center is far from right and chances are he will see little action this fall. The two star guards, Latta McCray, severely injured in a skiing accident, and Joe Hanrahan, who was stopped by the June exams, also may be unavailable. Since the center trio was largely responsible for the Green’s good showing up to P aceton time last fall, Coach Red Biaik now has that worried look two months in advance of the usual date . . . There's a new Princeton miler (the Bill Bonthrons hope) coming with the stork in November. George Watkins of the Dodgers collects a tidy royalty on each pair of sun glasses sold to hall players.

NOT IN THE BOX SCORE: TJITSY GRANT'S European tennis tour cost him $250, exclusive of incidental expenses. His partner in the insurance business, who was supposed to take care of his renewals, fell ill while Bitsy was away and let a number of policies lapse ' . . . Bobby Riggs and Wayne Sabin, the young California doubles combination being touted for next year’s Davis cup competition, have been parted by Jack del Valle, their “angel.” The break came during the Rye matches and Del Valle explained it by saying he believed Sabin’s influence on Riggs was not beneficial. It probably will be patched up before the national championships. Although the Giants are in the midst of one of the most magnificent pennant drives of recent years gossipers still operate on them. The latest lowdown is that Hank Leiber and Harry Gumbert will be traded to the Cards for Jim Collins next winter. The whispered reason for this is that Terry and Leiber do I not “get along.” Another keyhole item is that several Giants’ offij cials consider Mel Ott to be “an overrated player” and will peddle him to another club in 1937 if Terry agrees. Pop Warner and Gil Dobie will be personally matching their foot-

ball coaching wits for the first time when Boston college i meets Temple in October. This is Warner’s forty-sec-ond year as a coach while Dobie has been on duty for a mere 35 seasons . . . Eddie Borden, the sports writer and fight manager, will shortly publish a new boxing magazine tagged Bang .

Buckeye track athletes, here for the World Labor meet, reported that folks around Columbus feel the Violets are going to be so tough that there is practically no betting money in sight . . . Yale men refuse to talk about gridiron prospects but there is a persistent rumor that Ducky Pond will surprise the nation with a powerful team this fall. Especially if some of the scholastically doubtful sophs regain good standing . . . Don’t expect Lou Little to be overactive at Columbia this fall. Reports from his Leominster, Mass., home town are that his injured hip still pains him mightily. George Varoff, the high-soaring pole vaulter, will stay away from sports until after Christmas.

In spite of his many years of campaigning he still enlists in the clubthrowing ranks when the breaks go sour . . . For a lad who’s had a taste of Hollywood, Buell Patrick Abbott, the Californian who recently won the national public links title, has mild aspirations for a movie career. “All I want,” he says, speaking of that fabled city where salaries always are quoted in the higher G’s, “is a contract for $350 I or S4OO a week for four or five I years. Then I’ll quit.” This has been a singularly unfortunate summer for Bill Cook, captain and future coach of the Rang- , ers. His mother died two months ago, just after the popular hockey veteran had moved his family east to the new house he bought near Hamilton, Ont. His two children had to have their tonsils out and. although that’s ordinarily a simple operation these days, his younger daughter had a relapse and had to return to the hospital.

Poultry Wf »»SL SERIOUS FEEDING TIME FOR TURKEYS Growers Should Be Putting Pounds on Birds. ; j By L E. CLINE, University of Nevada Agricultural Extension Division. —WNU. Service. Turkey growers who want to make profits at the business are putting the pounds on their birds as fast as possible these days. The four or five months of the summer feeding period are the most vital to making profits. The first six weeks of the turkey’s life is a very critical period, but little weight is put on. The finishing period just before marketing the birds is also important, but in it likewise little weight is added in proportion to the large expense for feed. But during the in-between period, i according to Cline, the rapidly growi ing turkey adds pounds economii cally because it converts, at a rapid j rate, large amounts of a relatively ; low priced feed into a high-priced I commodity to grace the table dur- : ing the fall and winter. During this . fast growing period a relatively | small proportion of the feed given is needed for maintenance while a ! large proportion is available for j growth and profits. When the average turkey is two months old, it will weigh about 2.5 pounds. This weight is put on at an average rate of 2.15 pounds of feed per pound gain in weight. A month later the turkey will weigh 5 pounds, and will be gaining one pound for approximately each three pounds of feed eaten. At the end of the fourth month, the j turkey should weigh at least 8.25 ' pounds and is turning feed into turj key meat at the rate of 3.5 pounds I of feed to one pound of turkey. Good gains may be made also during the fifth month, but thereafter the ratio of pounds gained to feed consumed declines very rapidly, until it takes 5.6 pounds of feed to produce one pound of turkey in the sixth month and approximately 10.7 pounds of feed for one pound of meat in the seventh month. After that the feed often costs more than the net price which will be received for the additional pounds of turkey. While feeding in adequate quantity is very important, the composition of the feed is equally important. The two must go together if the most pounds of turkey are to be put on. Turn on Electric Lights I to Increase Egg Supply : The normal decline in egg pro- • duction which follows as summer’s ) advance can be checked somewhat • by the use of artificial light, reports C. S. Platt, associate professor of poultry husbandry at the New • Jersey College of Agriculture, Rutgers University. During the last two years, he , says, artificial light has been used at the New Jersey egg laying contests. The result in both years has been a slight increase in production over a period of two or three weeks following the introduction of the light. Lights are turned on at 4 a. m. daylight saving time and turned oft at sunrise. Don’t continue artificial lights on old hens after late October. Weak-Legged Chicks Leg weakness in chickens may be caused from a number of things. One common cause is lack of cod liver oil or sunlight, something which will provide the necessary vitamins to offset this form of weakness. There should be no difficulty with this ailment, states an authority in the Montreal Herald, as letting the chickens out into the sunshine should correct the affliction. Feeding cod liver oil at the rate of ' about 114 to 2 per cent in the mash should correct it even if the chickens are kept indoors. Internal parasites might also cause leg weakness. ’ In this case it would be advisable to have a post mortem made of ’ ! some of the ailing specimens by ! ; a pathologist to find out if internal J parasites are present. ! Chickens Must Have Water , I Hot weather sends the poultryman ! to the well many times during each • ; day for a refreshing drink of cold > water. He must remember that his layers get just as thirsty as does he, ■ and they need water just as much i as he does, or even more, because • of the body functioning which he expects of them. The water supply • in the summer henhouse should be extra clean—for it is hot weather—always abundant, cool, and fresh. Never let the supply run dry.— Preserving Infertile Eggs Infertile eggs preserve better and longer. If fertile eggs are to be used they should be candled. Water glass solution is prepared by mixing one quart water glass to nine quarts boiled water which has been cooled. A one-gallon container will hold 40 eggs and 3 pints, 10 ounces of the mixture. A five-gallon container has j a capacity of 200 eggs using 18 pints of the water glass mixture. Best results are obtained when fresh, clean, infertile eggs are used. Skimmilk for Poultry On farms where liquid skimmilk is available it will be found to be an I economical source of good pro- | teins. When liquid milk is not availj able a condensed or dried skimmilk • or butter milk may be used for | poultry. When liquid milk is available it should be used as the only drink for the first three or four weeks. The liquid milk may be fed I from earthenware, tin, aluminum, or granite fountains.

Farm Drainage Is a Timely Subject ■ — Properly Maintained System Is Especially Needed, Says an Expert. By H. D FRITZ, Extension Specialist, University of Illinois. WNU Service. Although Illinois farmers have an investment in public drainage systems and private drainage improvements estimated at $150,000,000, this investment in recent years has been taken for granted by the average farmer, and the maintenance of drainage improvements has been neglected. Proper maintenance of drainage systems is especially urgent now if farmers are to make the most of the soil improvement practices advocated under the new soil conservation program. In the new program legumes occupy an important place, and these crops must have a well drained soil. Application of limestone is another practice recommended in the new plan. To be of maximum benefit in making a good stand of legumes possible, limestone applications must be preceded by good drainage. Individual farmers can improve and aid in maintaining their farm drainage systems by careful inspection and correction of any defects that may be present. Most damage to crops from lack of drainage will be avoided if the outlet channel into which the drainage system discharges is open, is large enough and has sufficient fall to carry away flood water and surface water. An inspection of the tile drain outlet will reveal any damage by freezing and thawing, erosion, silting and stoppage by any cause. Surface inlets and catch basins also require periodic inspection. It : is recommended that each farmer learn the location of his tile drains, as he is then better able to check for sink holes and wet spots. Greater productivity from highly fertile lands that previously were thought to be worthless has proved the effectiveness of the drainage systems. Maintaining the drainage systems will aid in maintaining the productivity that has been obtained by drainage. Strip Crops Hold Soil When Wind Whips Field Strip cropping, one of the best and most economical methods of checking erosion by water, also is valuable in checking wind erosion. Whether planted on contour lines or at right angles to prevailing | winds, strips of sweet clover, alfalfa, sorghum, sudan grass, or sunflowers not only stop soil that starts to blow, but also break the wind as it sweeps across the field. It is small soil particles carried by a high wind that produce the scouring effect known as wind erosion. Strip cropping stops drifting soil in the same way as fences and weed clumps. Another advantage of strip cropping is that strips may be shifted from year to year. The top growth j and roots are plowed under and add humus to the soil. This is one of the best preventives of “blowing.” Soil with a good content ot organic matter is much less likely to blow than soil cultivated year after year until most of the humus disappears. Holding Expenses Down The good farmer knows how to do the various farm operations with the least expenditure iif time, energy, and money, but with es- : fective results. He has a knack, developed in youth or acquired in later life, of doing things well. He strives for perfection in every operation, for he knows tha‘. failure to do one operation properly will result in trouble in other opera--1 tions later. If the ground isn't broken well before the crop is planted, cultivation will be difficult and harvest small. The good farmer has good habits of work.— Hoard’s Dairyman. Agricultural Notes Simple country life on a farm is declared the most hazardous. • • ♦ Hides retain their leather making qualities indefinitely when stored under proper conditions. • * * Permanent pastures may be treated with fertilizer and lime any time until the ground freezes. * * * When animals gnaw bones, eat dirt, or show other signs of abnormal appetite, an unbalanced diet is a probable cause. ♦ ♦ * Rapid continuous growth is essential to develop good dairy heifers. which depends on uniform ' feeding. • * * | Deductions made by live stock I buyers for bruises on lambs cost the growers two cents per lamb for every animal sent to market. ♦ ♦ * Wheat growers of Australia want the government to offer $250,000 reward for the discovery of a meth- . od to kill the skeleton weed. • ♦ ♦ Science Service places the average span of life for a mule at 18 years, or three years more than that generally credited to the horse. • * * Some dairymen still need additional hay, green feed, or pasture. At this late date, the only solution is to sow a catch crop. • • • It has been estimated that 300.000 box cars of weed seeds in a year are eaten by all sc 'd-eating birds in the United States. ♦ ♦ ♦ Any idle space in the home garden may be used for a second planting of such crops as beans, beets, carrots, lettuce, or some other vegetables.

SEEING IS FOUND MOST IMPORTANT OF FIVE SENSES Scientific research discloses that i the eyes receive 87 per cent of all i impressions we receive. Our ears . receive but 7 per cent; our sense i of smell, 3.5 per cent; touch, 1.5 ; per cent; taste, 1 per cent. These five senses form our sole । contact with the world and the people in it. All that we know comes to us through our senses. Though the eyes represent our most priceless physical asset, most of us subject our eyes to needless abuse. That this is so, is seen in the fact that 22 per cent of all children in the country have defective sight. These statistics are the more appalling when we consider that our own carelessness is largely responsible for these deficiencies. Yet it may not be so much of carelessness as a lack of understanding as to what causes eyestrain. Os all the abuses to which we subject our eyes, poor lighting is , said to be one of the greatest. I Oddly enough, this is also the easiest cause to prevent. It is significant perhaps that defective eyesight is comn» o n i among farm families. This is thought to be due to the fact that I there are still several million , farm homes to whom the advantages of electric lighting are not available. Yet if this is so, it again reflects a lack of understanding of the need for good light, for there are available today, types of portable lamps that provide daylight brilliance for every night-time task. Perhaps the most popular of these are the gasoline and kerosene pressure mantle lamps. For reading, sewing, and all the after-dark pursuits which require prolonged and close use of the eyes, abundant light is imperative to those who would protect that greatest of God-given gifts, the eyes. And this is more especially important where there are children in the family. Children’s eyes are much more easily strained than those of adults. i
