Rrof. Morgan said that his re-

to the knd of farming, thp founda-

tribute to this section of the coun-

spects ,+liyliar to the meeting in the
afternoon was held at R. E. Smith's
farm east of the city.
.1. R. Cole was chairman of the

ducedofudge Kone as his friend for

well as the town folk, are taking a
great deal of Interest in fine poul-
try and much of it lias been raised

*• Another tiling that"is very ini
spicious for the show, is the fact

that for years and years those who
tilled the soil were looked upon as
a degraded class, hut it is now rec-
ognized that there is more in car-

anything else.
The trouble is that the farmers
try to fight their ways alone, and
do not organize themselves for

In all other walks of life, hot mean-
ing that they should organize

Ibis Vegas, N. M„ July 3.—'Visi-
tors from many parts of the country
have been coming turouglrout the day
to see the battle for the world's pu-
gilistic tchami/bnkhlp 'between the
present holder of the 'title, Jack
Johnson, and Jim Flynn of Pueblo,
Colo., and interest in the contest ex-
tends to all class as. From t»e,4rei«-
itig quarters of the rivals the an-,
nouffeement has beeu made that, hotli
men are in perfect physical condi-
tion and ready for the struggle to-
morrow afternoon.
The promoters of the mill expect a
large attendance. They disposed of
many tickets In advance and count
•upon the late arrivals from a dis-
tance and the eleventh hour rush
from Eas Vegas and vicinity to swell
the crowd at the ringside to propor-
tions that will leave them something
after all expenses are paid and the
fighters given their share. Among
the old-tiiuers, however* it is tlie be-
lief that the crowd tomorrow will
fall far short of that at the Jef-
fries-Johnson .battle at Reuo two
years ago, both numerically and fi-

merit of agriculture,
remarked that there is an institute
here and a large one, but. the trou-
ble is That meetings are not held
regularly. He suggested that social-
features he introduced to make It
a gathering place for entertainment
as well as instruction. To ex-
change thoughts is the only way to
learn.
There still remains some people
on Jlie farm who will'say that they
are not interested in scientific
farming, or hook-farming as some
say. Science is merely a fact found
out. So applying that to farming
it is simply an application of the
metnods and conditions that have
actually been Investigated >by the
state and federal government. ft
is no longer an experiment, as it
really was many:’years ago.
A mistake made is that farmers
keep too close to one crop, and It is

iiancially.
As a betting proposition the tight
does not promise much. To date
very few dollars have been placed on
the result. There are many persons
who think well of Flynn's prowess
as a fighter and a vastly larger num-
ber who wish him all the good luck
and success possible when be faces
tlie champion in the squared circle,
hut there are cpmparatlvely few who
think well enough of his chances to
hack him with cold ca3h. At the
same time there, are some who are
willing to bet oil the Pueblo man
at the liberal -odds offered. They
remember the odds offered on‘Jef-
fries two years ago and also the
result of the fight, when the sports
who had the nerve to hack Johnson
pulled down some btg money. They
figure out that if the btg negro has
gone back during hi* two years' ab-
sence from the4 ring, the contest to-
morrow may be roptltlon bf the af-
fair at Reno.

Johnson looks the winner, and, as lie
himself says, he ought to score a
knockout tong before the limit of tlie
