MISS BISHOP CHAMPION.
Twenty-one Holes Required to Decide
 the Metropolitan Honor.

Knollwood Country Club Links, May 24,-Miss Georgiana Bishop of the Brooklawn Country club of Bridgeport, Conn. is the champion of the Womens Metropolitan Golf association, having beaten Miss Julia R. Mix of Engle- wood in the final round here to-day by one up in 21 holes.
 The match was a good one all the way through, and to a majority of the gallery it seemed as if the final result would be brought about through the superior strength of Miss Bishop who was much more rugged and better able to stand the pace of such a hot con- test. Miss Mix was better than her rival on the green, but Miss Bishop had the best of it in driving, getting a longer distance.
 Luck played part in the match, for Miss Bishop should have won the home hole and the match, but her drive just kissed the bunker, whereas had it cleared absolutely she would have been dead to the hole and would have won the match there. On another occasion she did the same thing and lost on that occasion. Several accidents happened to her at other points in the match. Miss Mlxs chief misfortune was at the 21st, when she sliced from the tee into the rough, Miss Bishop getting the hole by to f. The cards were:

Guinea Grass.

Mr.. B. A. Thrasher, of Gainesville,
believes that he has solved the prob
lem of feed for cattle in Florida in the
discovery of Guinea grass, the seed Of
which he obtained in Cuba.
This grass was introduced into Mari
on county about thirty years ago, and
was extensively advertised, and our
people, like COL Thrasher, thought the
cattle feed problem was solved, but un-
fortunately this grass will not stand our
winters. It is very tender and Sue
culent and has made the pastures in
Cuba famous, but we dare say there is
not sprig of it left in Marion county
1t seems to us that if the round-1eaf
coffeeweed makes forage that stock
prefer to all other feed stuffs that the
forage problem is already solved in
Florida.-Ocala Banner.
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-10-30

of the DeSoto County News, to an
article copied from the Gainesville Sun:
A double column head line announced
a New Forage Grass a God-send to
Florida" and one declared to be the
best thing for Florida stockmen that
has ever been "discovered.' The name
of this wonderful grass is Guinea
Grass" But it is not new, even in
Florida L have grown it on my home
place in the lake region of South
Florida for a dozen or more years.
But not from seed; when l got the
clumps Of roots from, | do not recall,
save it was from some one in FLORIDA
who, at that time, was selling the roots

therefore, renders alfalfa an untavor-
started rapidly and, after the first or
second season, we cut three times,
finding when the stalks were young,
and therefore tender, that horses ate
it readily, as we'll as COWS, as we learn
ed when cattle 1eaped over wire fences,
attracted by the rich green color. 1t
grows best during the rainy season, and
[ question it's value as winter crop.
The Gainesville Sun article gives it
as an original product Of Cuba. But
| this is not so, as [ saw it in Central
| America in 1892, in the coast country OF
Spanish Honduras, where the Caribs
grow it to feed their COWS with.
With hay at prices now ruling it is
imperative for every farmer in Florl-
da to use homemade forage; but
Guinea grass will not fill the bill,
though a patch of it might be useful.
1t may be true, as the editor of the
Sugar Planters Journal says, that, GAS
the Puritans sought New England, the
Dutch the valley of the Hudson, the
Cavaliers the tide waters of Maryland
and Vigirnia, and the Huguenots the
Caro1inas, so now the tide of men,
women and children from the Old
World, especially from the Medlterra-
mean states, begins to flow into our
American Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf
Of Mexico. Of this tide New Orleans
and the state of Louisiana are seeking
their share" But what is Florida doing
| to get it's share?
