Figured through a span of years
Old Man Cactus Cravath is so far
ahead of all other sluggers there
is no one else as good as fourth.
Ruth has had one great year, and
50 at times have Schultz, Baker and
others.
But where no one else has reach
ed the century mark in home runs,
Cravath has padded along to the
vicinity of 100 OF these circuit af-
fairs. a lone slugger still slugging
along through the twilight OF his
career.
Cravath has turned in 116 home
runs up to this season, and he lost
no great amount of time adding to
his long list. He is the only one
left who has turned in more than
700 extra bases, and in a great part
OF this time he was not a regular.
Each year in the way of extra
bases he has averaged ten more
than Ty Cobb. He isn't fleet of foot
nor cyclonic around the towpath-
but he can hit the bally ball SO far
that walking is good enough to take
him where he wants to go.

FACTS
VALUE OF BULL ASSOCIATION
Farmers Enabled to Cooperate In
Purchase and Use Of Sire at
Lowest Expense.

By r. ". CLARK, Colorado Asricuitu-
raj College. Fort Collins. ColoJ
The bull association Is strictly a CO
operative enterprise. Five, eight. or
ten farmers m neIghborhood unite In
the purchase and use Of a bull. The
number OF farmers In community
proposition like this depends upon
the number OF cows each keeps and
proximity to each other. A local or
ganlzatiOn like this is called "block."
There may be other "blocks" In the
same township or county, all operat-
Ing under the same constitution and
bylaws. After bull has been used
two years or so In one block" he IL
exchanged for another bull In one OF
the blocks.
Through this kind Of an organiza'
tion. the purchase price OF the bull per
farmer Is low. The cost OF the keep
Of the bull is distributed among
larger number Of people only good
bulls are used and in.breedlng is
avoided.
Farmers should look into this prop
ositiOn. IL means much TO them.
