NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 20.-All Blgns point to perfect weather over head' and a Blow field under foot for the Harvard-Vale football game to morrow. The coaches fear clear Billen have como too late to benotlt the gridiron, which tonight was soft and hi ipi. cry as a result of heavy rains. The slowing up of the turf, it is thought, will check Yale's open play formations and the lit nc has reced ed a point or two in the wagering odds. Quotations tonight ranged from 5 to 4 to 10 to 7 on Harvard and Yale money was not abundant. Thousands of spectators were ar riving tonight. It was the largest night bofore crovd that New Haven has seen in ninny years and the task of accommodating them assumed puz zling proportions long before mid night The hotel registers contoined thc "Sines of per???a fruin every State in the uniom Canada, Mtxi?o, Hawai ian Islands and even Europe. The gathering tonight was consider ed but the vanguard of thc rush that will set In at daybreak tomorrow. There ls every indication that thc gathering will be tho largest am phitheatre will be the largest and most representative that ever witness ed an intercollegiate game In lhe United States. Former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft have seats reserved on opposite sides of the field. Slr George Punish, the English financier, will be present, together with a host of famous Yale and Harvard alumni, government of ficials and representatives of the social sets of the principal cities of the East. South and West Tickets wore scarce and there were a constant demand for coupons which could ot be supplied Even large offers of large premiums failed to bring forth the tickets, since the spec ulators appeared to have failed en tirely in their efforts to get them. The day was s quiet one for the rival squads. The Yale placers bad an hour's signal drill on Yale field .followed by punting and dropklcklng sessions in the "bowl" after which thc (dd uniforms and harness were burn ed In accordance with time-honored custom. The Harvard squad, seventy Btrong, was quartered in New London and will not arrive here until an hour or two IK fore tho contest The Crimson schedule for the day consists of an hour's signal drill at Plant Field, fol lowed by a blackboard, talk on the new plays and the defensive tactics to be employed again Yale.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Middle western football practically will end its season tomorow. Of the halt dozen games ot im portance, the Illinois-Wisconsin and Nebr?ska-Iowa contests stand out as bearing on championship claims. Be cause ot the traditions surrounding them, there will be widespread Inter est lu the Chicago-Minnesota, Kan sas-Missouri and Indiana-Purdue games. In tho Badgers, thc undefeated Il linois team meets the last obeiooie in Its path to the conference champion ship. Illinois hae beaten Minnesota, which trounced Wisconsin, and Chi cago, which played a tie game with Wisconsin. The Badgers, however, bav? a fighting team and will pit a strong line against Illinois tomorrow. Nebraska's claim to the mid-wes tern championship wilt depend largely on th?.outcome of tomorrow's game with Iowa. The Iowans gave Chicago and Minnesota terrifflc battles. Eastern Garnett. NEW YORK, Nov. TO.-Two gamea stand out preeminently in the eastern football schedule tomorrow.. At New Haven Harvard* and Yale will meet or their annual In ter-varsity contest, while the 'powerful elevens of Dart mouth and Syracuse play at Boston. The'result of these games will have a direct bearing on the final ranking of the,eastern college teams. Tho contest at New Haven probably will make football history,"since thc 4, . m ' . . - - - .s. RTS :: combinations appear unusually well matched. Each i? the master of a spectacular and diversified attach and the possibilities of one eleven as teen from certain angles are balanced by the ability of the opposing team along other lines. Judging from previous contests the Eli's favorite attack is tho loose-ball, open formation game. If the heavy rain of Thursday penetrated through tito straw covering and soaked the newly-turfed gridiron to any extent, a considerable percentage of the effi ciency of that attack Is sure to be lost. Harvard has relied on a noffenslvc campaign, which, while it called or much shifting of the ball, is but a modern typification of the old mams formation attack. On a wet and sllp ncry field this method would have a decided advantage. It is hov, aver, far from certain that either Yale or Harvard haB shown Its full omenBivc strength up to this time. It ls not unlikely that the Blue has a lin? plunging, tackle skirting attack which can be used effectively If weather conditions do not warrant Rugby and basketball play. That Harvard ls not unfamiliar with the lateral and bullet-like forward pass has been demonstrated several timos. So far as can be judged from pre vious games, the Harvard defense ap pears stronger and more cohesive than that of Yale. Yale, on tho contrary, has shown In several games that her line was not invulnerable. The New Haven coaches, however, have spent' much time pre paring for the Crimson's close line drives, Io the kicking department of play the two elevens appear to be evenly matched. LeGore, the Yale fullback, drives the ball further than either Manan, Hardwick or Franke but his punts are not BO well timed or effec tively placed. Neither eleven holds itu opponent lightly, and the coaches all predict a battle royal with nev and sensational plays. Quarterback generalship and tile element of luck are two impor tant factors which will have a decided bearing on the outcome. Much the same type of contest may be expected at Boston where Dart mouth and Syracuse meet. Both elevens have splendid records and powerful combinations for the day's play. It wou? appear from the rea son's work that the Hanoyorans are a trifle stronger In general allround attack and defense. Tho principal games of tho day are.

CULTURE IN ANDERSON CO HS TY. My purpose In writing this article ls to impress with all the. emphash possible the supremo importance o' oowing wheat darin*, the presen: month in order that we may be well supplied with braad stuff during thc coming year, 'Dr God only knows what is to happen to us before another year rolls around, to bring anothei Bowing season. The war In Europe may continue indefinitely. In fact if you have kept up with the war news, that is thc exact words used?by tho correspond ent who says, "Wo are prepared tc carry on tho war indefinitely." Wo should profit by this expres sion, and arrange our affairs in such way as to be independent of other countries and sections of this coun try. . Wc are now being made to pay "war prices" to Xho> west for corn, wheat, oats, hay, flour and the ' hog products, and should we neglect to pr?vido a supply of these staples for ourselves and tenants, we may go hungry before another crop is gath ered. My father's wheat house stored the grain to supply the* family, and he. sold sufficient besides to pay the bills for tho family. . I recall for years after the war Mr. Sam Jones and Dean Stevens brought chelr wagons loaded with flour to An derson and sold it for the money to pay their year's purchase of supplies o sod by their families, and my recol lection is that Mr. Iones told me that he made his start on the farm by growing grain on the hills around Hardscralble in this county. My opinion ls tba-, there ls no bet ter place on earth to grow grain than on the clay lands, along the Piedmont belt of South carolina, and I venture the prediction that our farming peo ple will never enjoy true, real pros perity until every planter tur fi s his attention to growing first, corn, sec ond wheat and oata and then cotton as the last consideration. This is absolutely necessary for the farmer, and bis tenants, and there should-be a clear : understanding be tween tue two on this subject now. Yon can grow all bf these crops at the same time, grow all the cotton necessary besides under the Improv ed manner of farming and fertilizing, tho lands and after the third year you ' will see the increase tn the. fer tility or your ?-?ll gs well as tho in crease in yield. Let me Insist upon your prompt attention to this matter for the time is eL?rt in which to sow small grain. Use your cotton seed as a fertil iser, use blue stone with hot water pouring it over the wheat just before cowing. The idea that we could not grow corn on uplands wa.* the talk a few years ago. tho same is said about wheat, which Is likewise untrue, then let ns get busy and so.ve the bread problem for. all Uni? to come, and then we will be on the road to real wealth . and independence.

Fr>om eastern North Carolina: 'Next year will be ray first attempt it farming in this coastal section. Tue money crops hero aro peanuts and cotton, backed up with too little .ora.' This farm has been rotated in leanuts, cotton and corn, and ' the Text crop of peanuts will c?ino where ho cotton and corn wero this year. The tenant on the place says the land ans never been flat broken, but rows have been simply run off and limed and ' a list plowed and the middles cleaned out with cotton plow. He contends that this prevents lt, becom ing boggy after a rain. I am of thc opinion that the water runs off' on the hard pan he has formed, and the crops suffe. in dry weather. His cot ton and corn this dry season look like this. Do you think .that breaking and subsoiling this land in winter will be too deep for the peanuts next summer? How would you treat pea nut land for corn when hogs run on lt till February?" There is no doubt that a deeper breaking will help the Isnd, which from what you say, evidently needs draining. I would sow rye on the land now and turn lt under early in spring before it .gets strawy, ana would use basic slag phosphate liber ally on the pear .is, and if you can -;et tobacco stems at a reasonable prioe use thent broadcast, a? they carry over 8 per cent, of potash, which will be hard, to get now. Peanut land that is hoing gleaned by hogs and Is Intended for corn in spring should have-the bogs II?ken rm before February, or before the ?soil gets wet, because the tramping will puddle it and do barm. While lt ?S desirable to have the bogs plean tho field, I believe that it would be far better to take them off early enough to sow a winter cover r.t rye on the land to be turned for the corn. Then ?ow peas .among tho co-n, cut and shock the corn at maturity, and disk down the peas or pea stubble if the peas are rank enough to mow. Sow winter oats in September, follow these with pea-i for hay. and grow nler.ty of roughage for feeding stock and making manure, and leave out cotton one season. But for all crops plow the land woll and not leas than six inches deep.

Well, you can hard ly understand the legal aide of the question then. Yesterday afternoon James T. Rob erts, probably tho most famous fox hunter in thc whole, shining world, blustered into Magistrate Broadwcll'n offlco and complained to that official that he had boen swindled out of $6 on a fox trade. Mr. Roberts was ac companied by two members of the carnival company now exhibiting in Anderson. One was a "down east yankee" and the other was a Dago and between them they began to ex plain to the magistrate that a mani named ."Rock" (that was his only name, so far as they -know) had sto len one ot ther foxes, had taken it to Mr. Roberts and sold it for $G. They demanded that Mr. Roberta return the fox and ho was willing tv> do this but he felt a great yearning for a Bight of the man with the V-spot And there's where the trouble be gan. Thc magistrate searched through every law book on his shelf. Ho four*.* that it was a misdemeanor, to steal chickens, eggs, butter, geese, hogs, horses, mules, cows and almost every i known -kind of animal and product but nowhere in his books could he (Ind any' mention of it toing a crimo to steal a fox. He searched undor every heading In the book, but noth ing doing. No reference was made to foxes. Thereupon ? the magistrate de manded that some 1 more completo uamo be furnished him for .tho want ed man than "Rotky." The magis trate opined that this was no sort of name to use on a warrant and he wanted to know more. The affair fin ally came to an end when the magis trat o issued a warrant for "John Doe," alias 'Rocky,' charged with the larceny of a quadruped v?f the carniv orous type, commonly known as a fox." '' The warrant waa turned over to of ficers of tho sheriff's offlco but as yet "Rot'ty" is still bresthing the breath of a free man and has not felt the prison walls closing around him. It is hardly possible, say some ot the officers, that the fox was never stolon and that there may bc some thing behind tho suspicious actions of thc carnival men, but whether or not this is true remains to be seen.
