Last evening in the Cage, Skip expressed himself as quite pleased with prospects for this spring's lacrossemen, who play their first game on April 5 against Penn. Only three regulars were lost by graduation...

Because it has always been done by hand labor with a hoe, this thinning is called "chopping." From April to June every year the South's cotton fields are full of an army of choppers, each doing about an acre a day.
