1t is significant that Chinese who

every year. It would require a long
period before all of the fields in the
rotation would be in alfalfa, but the
manure produced when the alfalfa
hay is fed can be applied to the fields
on which alfalfa has not been grown,
to keep up the organic matter
On account OF a lighter rainfall and
the low water holding capacity Of
some of the western soils. 1t Is neces-
sary to grow q larger proportion of cul-
ttvated crops in the rotation. In some
Of the drier states one-half of the farm
is summer titled each year, but for
North Dakota most of the evidence
thus far indicates that corn can take
the place of summer tillage and that
two fairly good small grain crops can
be secured after the land has been in
corn or potatoes one year and good
cultivation given.

NORTH DAKOTA SOILS
Two Distinct Regions Found

Dy r. G. DONEGHUE. Professor Of
AGronomy, North Dakota Agricultural

In North Dakota we hsve two dis
tinct regions from the standpoint OF
crop adaptation. The eastern part OF
the state, and more especially the Red
River valley, has relatively fne tex
tured soil and slightly higher rain
fall than the western part Of the state
The soils Of the western part Of the
state do not contain ~ much organic
matter and, in general, are q little
coarse in texture than those OF the
extreme eastern part.
In the eastern part clover and tim

q nurse crop, while In the western part
Of the state the dry period which often
follows the harvesting Of the nurse
crop kills the young plants. AS alfalfa
has shown itself to be 20 we'll adapted

used as a legume crop In place Of

Driving With Brassie Small Disad-
vantage.


When I see a golfer foozling his
drives from tee after tee through fail
ing to get the ball up and away clean
ly so AS to clear the rough grass or
hazard, / often wonder why in the
world he doesn't have sense enough to
take out his brassie and perhaps get
much better results.
AS a matter of fact James Braid,
many times British open champion
and today n of the longest drivers
in the world. frequently uses his
brassie off the tee for weeks at a time.
10 the nan temporarily off his
drive the added loft to the brassie
face yields just the degree of rise to
chance to fly. 1t is much more ra-
tional change than resorting to using
iron clubs, which take so much more
out of a MAJ seeking to get a re-
spectacle distance.
a decided advantage gained by the
use of the brassie from the tee is the
practice of driving from a very low
tee or none at all. The lower the
tee the longer the ball in most cases.
short from the tee is that they try
to hit the ball away from the top of
a high mound Of sand and hitting
far under the back center of the ball.
scoop it way for an arc-like flight
instead of getting the go and pene-
tration of the properly hit ball.
Nearly every golfer has noticed that
he frequently gets A longer ball with
a hrassie through the green than on
his tee shots. The reason is above
stated.
AT the present time 7 am doing all
my driving with a brassie and getting
a longer hall than ever before, both
as to carry and roll. I am not using
the brassie because ] am off my drive,
but a few weeks ago. in using the
brassie to cary a sharp hill 100 yards
ahead Of a tee. / got a hall that went
away so beautifully and far that 1
stuck to the brassie from the next
tee, n for some reason or other am
confident that l get better balls from
the tee than at any previous time.
Many years back when first got
a wooden club fairly working in nv
game. I remember that IT was a bras
sic that first enabled me to get even
a respectable ball from the tee with
enough consistency to be called driv-
ing.
Don't be afraid to try your brassie
once in a while from the tee. 1t may
provide the tonic you need.
