DALLAS. Texas, Aug. 2.—The
South has dropped the one-crop sys
tem and is beginning to feed Itself and
help th»* rest of the nation, thus put
ting an end to the story about a Texas
farmer who bought his beans in Bos
ton. his furniture in draml Rapids,
liis food in Kansas City and raised
onl> cotton and a pack of hungry
dogs
The war. according to authorities,
has done more than years of advice
in bringing about the present situa
tion in tin* South, where large quanti
ties of food now are being raised. The
immediate and impertant effect, mem
; bers of agricultural departments say.
is the sharp decrease in the drain on
the North and West, which now per
mits of greater overseasc shipments
from those sections.
Fixed government prices, insuring
a fair return, encouraged planting ,
Agents of the agricultural depart
ments and agricultural schools pointed
out to the Southern farmers the bene
fits of a varied crop, and the excellent
weather brought crops that authori
ties say will result in still greater,
acreage of wheat and oats next year
The ideal weather resulted in an early j
harvest
Texas, deorgia, Alabama. Louisiana.
North Carolina. Florida and Virginia
I w ill harvest greatly diversified crops
this year One striking result is
shown in a shipping report from Ala
bama. Until four years ago, from sev
enteen counties in the state not nt
single carload of hogs was shipped. In
the year ending April 1, 191H, hogs to
fill 2,352 cars were sent front the
same counties The value of the hogs
now growing in these counties was
estimated at $4.Oho,quo. Formerly the
sec tion raised little except c- tteii.
A summary recently issued b the
Federal Reserve Rank of the Elev
enth Federal Reserve distru t dwelt
on the prosperity following the plant
ing of a varied c rop in the largest \
state in the Union.
"Authorities whom we consider e»
tlrely conservative estimate the
Texan wheat crbrT a» from “
to 12,000,000 bushels, and the oats
crop at approximately 50,000,000 hush
els," the report said “The yield is
greatly curtailed on account of un
favorable conditions in the Panhandle1
sections, where, in normal times, the!
grain is extensively produced lilt
more favored parts of Texas, the
north, northeast and central portions,
the yield is far above normal. The
acreage sown in peanuts and other j
feed crops in all sections of the Elev
enth Federal Reserve district ha- been
unusually large, and correspondents
advise these crops are doing nicely.
"Some sections ot West Texas
which for two years and more have
suffered a terrific drought, almost
completely demoralizing the little
business, are again coming into their
own.
"The outlook in the cattle industry
has shown much Improvement in the
last month," the report continue "A
large area of the range country has
received line rains, and there is a
belter feeling among cattle and sheep
men. Ii is still very dry in portions
of New Mexico, and the cattle inter
■ ests are suffering. In the Panhandle!
section of Texas conditions are much |
improved. Recent rains have made
plenty of grass, and the shipping of
cattle to pasture in other sections is
no longer necessary."
The fruit crop has been good,
peaches in particular being plentiful.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2. As the result
of a decision by the French military
authorities. (Jeorges Carpentier. the
European heavyweight champion, will
not take part in any further bouts mi
til after the war. This means that
Carpentier will meet no more rising
American soldier pugilists until after
the dec laration of peace. The French
pugilist has been in the haldt of tak
ing on some of tile aspiring Fnited
States army heavyweights, and so tar
lias demonstrated a marked superior
ity over ail comers
Promoters had begun negotiations
for staging a match between Carpi ri
tier and lUink MeClosky. tin- Phil t
delphin light-heavy, who recently out
pointed Albert Lurie, a promising
French heavyweight, in a bout at Ror
denux 'lii** military authorities took
up the matter and decided that it was
inadvisable to stage any more pugil
istic- encounters between the- Euro
pean champion and others before the
end of tiie war
Francis Descamps, Carperit ier's
peace-time manager, has promised all
the army aspirants plenty of his
champion s matches as soon as the
task of defeating tin* Hermans is over.
Reports from France indicate that
the war training Carpentier has un
dergone has greatly improved his ath
letic ability Apparently he has de
veloped into an excellent all-round
athlete, having shown tine form and
speed in track events. in a recent
set of games held at Paris Carpentier
was nosed out of first place in the*
trial heats of the hundred meter sprint
in a classy field Had he been a step
faster he- would have been entitled to
compete in the final of this event. Hi*
did succeed in winning third place in
the* running high jump, and showed
well in several other contests.
Among the* American athletes com
pel i tig at this meet were Lennon, for
merlv of the Cniversity of Pennsyl
vania; .Jack Eller of the* New York
Irish-Americau A. C , and several col
lege track stars from the Middle
West. While the reports do not spe
cify Dial Carton tier competed n gainst
any of these performers, it is evident
that the general entry was high-class
and his work must have been above
the ordinary to place him in any of
the big events.
