The harvest season out In the
wheat field Is nothing 10 the harvest
OF golf balls that will be gathered
when the cane field on the east of

player has one or more balls hidden
In the heavy growth. Likewise the
plum bush patches are rather rich in
balls. So

under usual conditions get on the
green in the same number of strokes.
Then comes the most ticklish time In
the game-the sinking Of the ball.
