The Irish Lads of Wichita
Falls arrived in our city last
Thursday for a series of games
with the Boosters. Both teams
had reputations to defend, and
the games were the cause of
much speculation from every
viewpoint, up to the fifth inning-
it was a shut out for bpth teams
and the playing on both sides
Was the occasion of cheers from
all. The joys of the umpire
were very much in evidence, and
the visitors seemed to have him
so completely befuddled that to
all appearances he was solely
responsible for the two runs
made in the fifth.

had been handed a goose egg
nine times in succession.
The score by innings was:
Innings 123456789
Aspermont 00000000 0—0
Wichita 00012030 1—7
Batteries for Aspermont, Bur-
leson and Burleson, for Wichita
Falls, Morris and Gibson. Um-
pire, McCamant.
The Joye of the Umpire.
This was the thirteenth game
for the Boosters, they having
won twelve straights, and they
were no exception to the rule on
that boodoo number.
It was the unanimous verdict
of all who saw the first game
that the score should have been
2-1 instead of 4-1. The game
was a fiercely fought pitchers
battle from start to finish. Both
pitchers presented free trans-
portation, while Burleson almost
created an efnergency hospital,
putting one man on the mat for
the count.
The result by innings follows:
Innings 123456789
Aspermont 0-000 0 0 1 0 0— 1
Wichita 00002002 0— 4
Batteries: for Aspermont,
Burleson and Burleson, for
Wichita Falls, Bunch and Gib-
son. Hits off Burleson 3, off
Bunch 3. Struck ont by Bur-
leson 12, by Bunch 11. Umpire,
Hemphill.
The second game opened with
the Boosters to the bat, Roy
Robinson being the first up. He
slammed into the first ball that
came over the plate, and it
looked like a hit, but was caught
out. Lilly came up and got a
clean two-bagger. Guy Ay cock
followed and Lilfv scored. The
spectators were wild. Enthus-
iasm ran high. In the third in-
ning, an overthrow to first, fol-
lowed by another to third, gave
the visitors two scores. Then
followed a series of shut outs up
to the sixth, when the visitors
put two more to their credit.
The score by innings was:

rington and Aycock. For Wichi-
ta Falls, Myers and Gibson.

The third game was a com-
plete Waterloo for the Boosters.
Burleson twirled his best and
had the visitors shut out up to
the fourth inning. The Boosters
at that stage of the game, failed
to give him proper support, and
then their pitcher lost the lead
out of his shoes and went in the
air.
When the smoke of the battle
bad cleared away, the visitors
bad drawn 7, and the Boosters
Increasing Production.
The increase in agricultural produc-
tion has both an individual and com-
munity interest The farmer is vitally
interested in increasing the yield, as
it costs, no more to cultivate an acre
of land that produces two bales of
cotton than it does an acre of land
that produces one bale of cot-
ton, and the second bale is clear profit
to the farmer. The farmers who have
followed the advice of our agricul-
tural departments in selecting seed,
methods of culture, character of crops,
combating pests, etc., have been able
to double production. The farms of
Texas are yielding an average of
$1,540,000. per day, and by doubling
production in that portion of the land
now under cultivation we can produce
$1.122,678,000 instead of $561,339,000
per annum as shown in the figure be-
low.

Increase in Production.
A concrete example v/ould perhaps
be more satisfactory than an imag-
inary standard, says the Texas Com-
mercial Secretaries' Association, and
we will, therefore, compare Texas
with Illinois. Our lands are more fer-
tile, our seasons more reliable and
our climatic conditions more favor-
able to farming than in Illinois. In
Illinois the average farm contains 12-J
acres and yields $3.309 per farm. Ir.
Texas the average farm contains 35?
acres and yields $6S1 per farm.
The cut shown below illustrates the
growth the Texas farmer must make
to reach the Illinois standard.

The Farmer Must Grow.
To build up the Texas farmer we
must improvtí our public highways,
build railroads, build factories, open
mines, build cities, and otherwise in-
crease our markets and facilities for
reaching the market. We must look
to our Agricultural Department, A. &
M. Colleges, Experimental Stations
and agricultural agents to build up the
farm and instruct the farmer. These
institutions ought to be liberally sup-
ported by appropriations and co-op
•ration in their work.
