CASTOR BEAN EXPERT
THINKS INJUSTICE
DONE GROWERS

And now it's the castor bean con-
Gtroversy.
Hear also what the superintendent
of Castor Bean Association saith, in
reply to an article in the Seeley Sen
tinel, of late issue:
"El Centre, Cal, Aug. IA, 1918
The Seeley Sentinel had an article in
the last issue, placing the whola
blame for the poor stands of castor
beans in that neighborhood on the
quality of the seed furnished, ard
would like to correct this, as it is not
the case at all.
I'VE know the seed is not as good
as we would have desired, but it was
all the government could secure, and
was not by any means so bad that
perfect stands We're impossible, as is
proven by the number of such stands
throughout the entire valley and in
the Seeley district as well.
Il am very sorry to have to say
that from my observations, in going
over the paintings, that the true rea-
son for the poor stands was absolute
neglect of this crop, in favor Of the
cotton and corn. In other words, the
money crops were cared for, and I'm

many.
IN every case where the heart was
in the crop, replanting done promptly
and wedding and irrigating attended
10, the stand is as near perfect as car
be obtained and the character of the
soil with the exception of the very
hardest alkali soil had nothing to dc
with the result 1t was simply the
result of honest, patriotic effort, anc
it won.
/ "The poor stands are, in 90 pei
cent of the cases, the result of neElect
and lack of patriotism.
/ Il am sorry to have to write this
but in justice to the castor beans tht
truth should be told. This is coins
to be a valuable crop for this valley
and those who have given their bes
efforts are satisfied of this fact.

CHOPS HIS BALL
THROUGH OBSTACLES
therefor.
(By Associated Press)


Chicago. Aug. 14.-Despite the nu-
merous rules of golf, situation fire.
quently arises in an important match
that cannot be satisfactorily decided
under the letter of the golfing law.
Many decisions are made by inverse
deduction from the precepts of the
game.
For example, enc rule provides that
after the ball is in play, nothing fixed
or growing shall be moved, bent or
broken, except in taking the stance,
or in the regular swing at the ball
This is held to forbid practice strokes
after the player leaves the tee.
Another rule, which came up fer de-
cision at recent Red Cross tourna-
ment at the Ridgemoor Country Club,
and. not being decided, caused Pat
Doyle of Deal, N. j., to cut away a
tree branch with his niblick, provides
that nothing shall be done to improve
the lie of a ball in all hazard. The
compilers of the rules probably did
not figure on the contingency of find
ing tree limb, blown off by storm,

in the precincts Of bunker.
That was what Doyle encountered
when his long drive from the thir
teenth tee found a bunker. A storm,
which had interrupted the play, had
blown a leafy branch of nearby oak
into the trap. Doyle was barely able
to see his ball under the limb. While
some of the onlookers thought the
limb might be removed under rule
which provides + dropping the ball
away from a hole made by the green
keeper from ground opened for repair
Doyle decided to play the ball as it
lay.
The plucky Irishman gave a fine eX-
hibtion of woodchopping and pitching
when he chopped clear through the
branch and lifted the ball high across
the fairway.
