RENEW THIN PASTURE SPOTS
Little SEED Scattered Over Weak
Places Every Spring and Then
Narrowed Will Aid Greatly

There are weak spots in almost all
pasture fields which do well when re-
seeded. A little seed scattered every
spring over these thin spots and har-
rowed in with the harrow teeth set at
a slant of about 40 degrees, will help
these spots greatly.
A top dressing of fine stable manure
has a stimulating effect on such re-
tarded grasses. 1t is unreasonable to

Fielder Jones says SiSler IS as great
as Cobb ever was.
George Davis. once manager of the
Giants and White Sox, is with the
Browns as head coach and scout.
The veteran Terry Turner gets into
the game occasionally for Cleveland,
and he Still is high-class fielder.
Uncle Robbie is longing to get his
fading champions into the first di-
vision. 1t shouldn't be difficult task.
Jim Corbett has again picked the
Giants TO win. Which caused the
bookies to lay bigger odds on the Reds.
Maybe Connie Mack would lend his
white elephant to the Siamese army.
But it would be an awful blow to the
allies.
More and more people are becoming
more deeply concerned about the price
of eggs than about Ty Cobb's batting
average.
Branch Hickey, president of the
Cardinals. is elated over the acquiSi-
tion of Goodwin, the pitcher obtained
from Milwaukee.
The Browns made seven errors In a
ball game the other day. Fielder Jones
would have been pleasant guy TO talk
to after the game.
Jawn McGraw probably couldn't see
the joke if Matty, Rousch, Groh and
a few gre Giant cast-offs should beat
him out of the flag.
Eddie Laftte. who was with the
Brooklyn Feds and who has hurled for
the Paterson Silk Sox of late, has quit
baseball to enlist in the army.
President Wilson has announced that
he wants baseball to be continued for
the rest of the season at least, which
