July 30.—Crop rotation Is becoming of increasing importance on many Texas farms, not only because of Its value in producing larger yields but for various other practical rea sons also, E. A. Miller, agronomist of the Extension Service, A. and M. College of Texas, pointed out in addressing the farm crops division of the Farmers Short' Course here Monday. Advantages of a good ro tation or cropping system, in ad dition to increased yields to the acre, were cited by Mr. Miller as follows: Aid in the control of in sect pests and plant diseases, help in keeping down weeks, use of a legume or soil building crop such as cowpeas, soy beans, sweet clover and the like, and better distribution of labor on the farm. Experiments by the Texas Agri cultural Experiment Station at the blackland substation near Temple showed big increase in acre yield and +he largest net profits in the rotation of cotton, com and oats, Mr. Miller said. “In this rotation” he added, “the average yields to the acre over a period of 10 years were 276 pounds of lint cotton, 34.3 bushels of corn and 32 bushels of oxts as contrasted with 142 pounds of lint cotton, 19.3 bushels of com and 27.3 bushels of oats with con tinuous cropping. Every acre in the rotation made an average profit of $15.96 whereas continuous cotton made only $7.33 profit an acre.” A four year rotation of cotton, cowpeas. com and oati at the main station at College Staifon, produced an average annual yield over a per iod of 13 years of 223 pounds of lint cotton, while cotton planted on the same land year after year made only 182 pounds to the acre, the speaker said. The results of these and other experiments cited prove conclusively that a farmer can well afford to establish a good cropping system, he added in con clusion. Charges Commission ‘Grabs’ Best Seats CHICAGO, July 30.—(;P)—A re bellion against the adm ted prac tice of the Illinois state boxing com mission in demanding choice seats for boxing shows was started today by Paddy Harmon, director of the Chicago Stadium company. Harmon made public complaint to the press that the commission had "grabbed” 959 of the choicest seats for the sammy Mendell-Tony Can roneri lightweight championship fight at the stadium Friday night. “The stadium hasn't received a cent for these tickets and the prac tice has become so serious to pro moters in Chicago that the time has come for a showdown,” Harmon said. “For this coming fight, the commission has taken C 39 seats, worth more than $8,000. without paying a cent for them. What could we do but give them to the com missioners? If they didn’t get them. It would be too bad for us. We have to get dates frc.n the commission.” Harmon said he would request the commission either to return the tickets or pay for them. Paul Prehn, chairman of the ring body, said the large number of tickets were requested to fill the de mands of politicians and friends of the commission.

SCOUT FOND DRIVE OPENS Brownsville Committee Will Seek to Raise $3600 Quota Setting as their goal $3500 and starting this afternoon toward at taining their objective, Brownsville leaders in Boy Scout work are planning to give every citizen an opportunity to contribute to a fund which will be used to finance lo cal activities, to help defray the expense of the Valley-wide council, to pay off a part of the debt on Camp Perry and possibly to erect a Brownsville Boy Scout hut at the camp on the Arroyo Colorado, near Rio Hondo. Arrangements for the drive were made at a meeting at the chamber of commerce building Monday night, E. E. Mockbee, manager of the local telephone exchange, was named chairman of the drive and assistants include H. L. Faulk, W. O. Washington, J. L. Abney, Capt.. Sterling, Sgt. Sanderson, Bascom Cox, Stuart and W. E. Collins. The city has been divided into 12 districts and a committee has been assigned to visit every person liv ing in each of the 12 districts. The sum sought includes $2500 as Brownsville’s portion of the annual Valley-wide budget and $1000 which was not raised on the budget for 1928. “This is an investment in future citizenship that we are asking ths citizens of Brownsville to make,” Mockbee said just before the drive started. “We are not asking for gifts, we are asking people to buy something—to make an investment which will pay rich rewards in the future of pur city, county, state and nation. “We hope by this drive to be able to interest enough men in Boy Scout work to enable us to really organize the boys of Brownsville. There now are four troops in Brownsville. There should be at least eight. The boys are clamor ing to enroll and we have no lead ers to put at the head of the troops.” San Benito has raised her quota of the Valley budget and has it in the bank waiting for other Valley towns to do likewise, Mockbee said. He also said Edinburg and other towns already had subscribed their quotas.” Some of the towns have failed to raise the money needed and as a consequence the Valley council is in financial straits.” $15,000 Needed Among those interested in the scout camp are A1 Parker, Lamar Gill, John Shary, R. B. Creager, Blake Seay, John Gregg, I. M. Club, Lloyd Parser, A. Y. Baker, W. B Sellers, Finley Ewing and others. Approximately $15,000 is needed to put Camp Perry out of debt. When completed, this will give Val ley scouts one of the best lodges in the whole United States, officials state.
