BETTER FARMING HINTS
Station Produces Wilt Resistant
 Tomatoes

Thirteen varieties of wit resist ant tomatoes have been developed by the University of Arkansas Experiment Station. Three of these varieties have proven to be especially fine. and should prove to be of especial value to tonla- to growers in the suthern part of the state, who during the past few seasons have lost thousands dollars because of wilt.
 All three of the best varieties are fine quality of tomato. hay ing round fruit Of solid color. The tomatoes ripen evenly and are good producers. The best va riety has not yet been named 7: the second best is the Norton: and the third best is the Marvel. Further information can be SC cured by writing to the depart ment Of plant pathology.

 Keep Cotton Free From Trash
 "0ne of the most important factors in grading cotton is cleans liness. says T.. \. Hodson. assist ant professor of agronomy with the College of Agriculture. Uni versity Of Arkansas. Therefore the vital thing to watch in pick ing cotton is to keep 1t free from trash. Professor Hodson adds that 1t is important that cotton be picked dry. If t is necessary to pick 1t wet, then it should be thor oughly dried before being stored. Cotton should be picked before it begins to fal on the ground. as dirt - especially clay soil = stains the cotton and thus lowers the grade. The first picking should be saved for seed. as this tends to induce an earlier strain. Another reason Is that frost tends to lower the vitality of the seed.

Winter season legumes, such as spotted bur clover, hairy yeteh, and crimson clover should be giy- ell preference where the condi- tions warrant.
 If winter legumes are not avail able for planting then by all means plant a small grain crop winter cover. For cover crop purposes winter rye is the safest and will do well under the wid- est range of conditions. Wheat may be used as cover crop and practically never winter-kills. Tennessee winter barley makes an excellent winter cover when seeded on well prepared fertile land in early October When small grain cover crops are plant ed in early fall a considerable amount of pasture may be obtain- cd during mild winter weather and in early spring.

Golfers Apt to Magnify
Distance on Tee Shots
Anderson Cites Figures to Show Average Is Less Than
Generally Believed Conditions Here
Better Than Abroad
~ JOHN @. ANDERSON.

There Is a very instructive article by
Harold Hilton. former open and amateur
! champion Of Great Britain, in a recent
issue Of British Coli Illustrated treating
of the average length of drives from tho
tee. Golfers all along the line not only
believe tnat they average well over two
hundred yards on their drives, but also
that professionals such as Brady, Ha-
gen, Barnes, and especially Mcdonald,
with Kerrigan not far back, in most of
their rounds average ESQ yards at least.
Hilton points out a number of striking
incidents which would seem to prove
that the long hitters of Great Britain do
not come within twenty-five yards of
that distance. and we are inclined to
the opinion that there has been vast
amount Of exaggeration concerning the
length golf ball is driven.
There are many reasons for doubling
the distances as chronicled, since at
least a third Of the links to-day in this
country have many holes overmeasured.
That was the great feature of seven or
| eight years ago, when distance was the
prevailing synonym for excellence But
1t is different to-day. we may remark
in passing, for we have come across
several links where a hole which was
| 37b yards has been put down as 345,
with tho consequent result that wrong
| club would be used the first time over.
And often higher scores result than are
anticipated. especially when there are
three or four of these in the course of
| q round
That is a trick way Of making the
par of the course seem simple, but proves
| most difficult. Ten years ago It was
the rage to have high par as indica-
| tive OF a tough series of holes. But
| nowadays Il is the endeavor OF the
, linksman to have low par VII, -
great q yardage as the maximum. 49,
| distance for each hole permits, and
| wherever possible to squeeze in a couple
Of hundred yards without a tally, but,
as we intimated before, the course
which pads it's distances Is the one
which has given the most publicity to
long drives.
A certain hotel in a small town in New
Hampshire regularly drew a certain
amount of publicity when Mr.. So-and-
So. rather we'll known golfer, drove

A LEGLESS SWIMMER

Severe Handicap.
LEGLESS SWIMMER

Few swimmers appreciate the all inns
portant role played by the head IN
swimming the various styles Of crawl
strokes. Yet it's correct carriage Ia est
sential to success. particularly In cons
petition. Many faults of action may b
traced directly to It.
One sees a contestant zigzagging all
over the course and attributes his SER
pentine progress to unbalanced arm
movement, but in nine cases out OF ten
It is the head which causes the trouble,
for in bending It to one side or the other
the arms unavuidably swing In the sans
direction. individuals founder along
awkwardly and one wonders why they
assume such impossible positions but
mark how their heads are held and you
usually will find the head is responsible,
It's carriage and usage influence the ems
tire stroke.
The head should be kept erect always
and merely twisted for the act OF
breathing. as II It swung on a pivot. like
a weather vane It should never be
raised or lowered, nor bent to either
side.
Especial attention should be paid 10
timing its movements accurately. II
must be turned to inhale as the top
arm leaves the water In recovery. and
not turned back to normal until the
same arm has entered for the drive. II
Il is turned to inhale, or back, before
the arm II Is turned from has applied
pressure on the water the shoulder on
that side Is bound to dip heavily and
leave the arm pointing upward at full
reach. Then the first part of the follow
ing drive will be wasted completely, for
the power exerted does not become eff
fective until the arm has attained n
downward slant. Turning from either
arm while said arm is still in recov-
cry leads also to crossing at the catch
and consequently crooked swimming.
In endeavoring to take advantage of
the hydroplanlng principle swimmers
should start by studying the position of
the head. Unless II is held and moved
correctly II is impossible to plane ade-
quately.
