NEW YORK. May 3O-soms time ago a
professional once remarked, Show me

but Il In not always an infallible guide.
In fact, there are more ideas aB to this

When the remark above quoted was
made, Che speaker proceeded to lllustrate
his point by showing how many OF the
really good players carry few clubs

heavy luggage In this respect; in fact.
he carries only eight or nine clubs, This
number, however is no fewer than the
average.

said that as n rule the best players
carry comparatively few weapons and

committee is preparing plans Tor prac-

are William NJ Johnston, the schoolboy
champion, and Clarence ]. Griffin. al
though there is a probability that Thomas

come cast.
II Is the desire OF the international COM
mittee to let Mclaughlin devote all Of
his energies to the singles. and this makes
a difficult task to find n pair strong
enough for the doubles, There is no one
OF real strength In the east to select.
and that may mean that the west will
again be called upon to help out In the
difficulty. In which event the Pacific

THE DAY OF DIVERSIFIED
FARMING

The time has arrived all over the
United States when a more diversified
system Of farming must take the
place of the old rule of thumb meth
dds now employed. Instead of the
large ranches, experts have demon
strates that the omre lucrative sys-
tenn of working plans is to take small
Ter bodys of land and bring out all
there Is in it to be found. In certain
parts Of the United States, and Ne
yada is no exception TO this rule, men
can be found owning vast ranches of
land, and good land at that who are
veritably l%and-poor. They have
enough land to make a dozen farms
and because they are unable to prop
erly cultivate the large area, they do
not get half the yield they should out
OF the land. The cry of modern farm
ing is for smaller farms and more
concentration. And Blko County is
the ideal spot for this system of farm
ing. Almost any part of this county
Is available for dry farming and with
a dry farm Of say, 300 acres, more
money can be made than can be off OF
a large tract of land half tended. Mr..
Sohlman, Of the>state dry farm in this
county has stated that the ideal farm
for this section of the country is a 300
acre farm and that the larger farms
are not producing the amount OF farm
products they should. The time is
coming at the present rate of settle
ment which Is going on in this state,
when these large ranches and farms,
now 80 common all over the state,
must be cut up into smaller places
and a more concentrated system OF
tillage be employed. 1t is coming
apace and the time is not far remov-
cd when this must happen. Tht great
cry OF the whole country is a more
concentrated system OF farming, 1T
has already pervaded the east and the
south and slowly but surely the west
lie coming to the point when 1t, too.
must adopt these more modern meth
