Most shippers in the irrigated Sec

are almost always based upon the
claim that the hay Is not up to grade,
but occur almost entirely upon de-

Hail Long Jim" Barnesi
Ten years ago, when a westerner

little attention was paid to the mat

1t was Jim Barnes who was re-
ferred to by the western golf en-
thusiast; Barnes, then mere youth,
just over from Cornwall, who was
serving in the capacity Of profess
sional at one of the western clubs.
Later he came to Sunset hills, and
it was while there that he attained
national prominence as one of the
stars of the golf world. Since 1872,
when he played in his first open
championship at Buffalo, Barnes has
striven for the honor that finally came
to him, says a writer in the New
York Times. For several years he
failed, finishing far behind the lead
ers, but during the last few years he
had come to be more and more feared
by the other professionals.

SKILLFUL SHORTCUT
ARTIST Is EXPOSED.
Tough Pitcher Finds Way to Stop
CrookednesS.
Lands Stunning Blow on Runners Jaw
as He Attempted to Take Cutoff
for Second Base-Umpire
Saw This Short Turn.

Cotton Tierney, persistent story tell
er with the Pittsburgh Pirates, says
that on team he played with in a
certain minor league, there were two
or three other sharps who made
practice of cutting bases and getting
away with it pretty often, since only
one umpire to the game worked in this
league. Rival teams howled, but the
shortcut artists were clever and the
umpires always alibied they didn't see
the base cutting.
In one game one Of these persist
ent base cutters singled and as the
umpire ran over toward third to take
possible play there the runner cut
first about ten feet and landed on
second. The opposing team howied
as usual, and as usual the umpire
had missed the play.
The opposing pitcher was tough
guy and he was mighty mad about
it. He told the blind umpire:
you're going to see it if another
one of these dudes tries to cut
base, for l am going to fix him so
you'll have to see it."
About three innings later one of
the base cutters hit, the chance for

Smashed Course Record.
Upon his return to American shores,
however, Barnes looked like a new
man, and when the tournament start
ed at Washington he gave an indi-
cation of what might be expected by
breaking the competitive record for
the course in the opening round. The
lead that he gained over the remain

stead, for, playing in the manner that
he was, there was no chance of his

FIX FARM INCOME BY
VOLUME OF BUSINESS
Must Be Margin Above Annual
Maintenance Charge.
Size of Business Is Most Important
Factor to Be Considered in Select
ina a PIace-Three Things
to Remember. Z.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
It requires a farm business Of at
least fair size to provide an income
that will merely cover maintenance
charges and these charges are
relatively higher for small farms
than for large ones, say special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture. A farm may be OF
such size as to furnish most living
needs Of the farmer, such as vege-
tables and fruits, as well as enough In
come to pay the taxes and running
expenses, but unless there is mar
gin above this annual maintenance
charge no progress can be made to-
ward accommodating a surplus.
This point is often overlooked, and
thousands of men fail to understand
why they do not get ahead faster,
when, as a matter. OF fact, the
size of their business is such
that there is only slight pos
sibility of any margin being left after
obtaining bare living and paying
absolutely necessary running ex-
penses. Often the income is INSULT
cient even to do this, and the farmer
and his family have to go without
some of the comforts of life.
Thus it is that the size of the farm
business is one of the most impor-
tant, if not the most important, factor
to be considered in selecting a farm

The irrigated areas of the south
western United States can produce a
high market grade of alfalfa hay, but
there are several difficult problems
that must be solved in order profita-
bly, to market the hay, say specialists
of the bureau Of markets and crop es-
| Inmates, United States Department Of
Agriculture.
Method Of Baling.
The first step which has a direct
bearing upon the marketing of alfal-
ia is baling. The rainfall in the South
west is exceedingly light during the
hay-making season, and for this rea-
son much Of the hay is baled out Of
the windrow or cock.
When hay is baled from the wind
row in sufficiently green state to save
oil the leaves, it cannot be pressed
tightly because Of the danger Of
heating, and shippers therefore fire.
quently experience considerable diff
Guilty in loading cars with the mini
mum weight for which they pay
charges. Hay which has been stacked
and allowed to dry can be baled more
compact, but in baling stack hay many
Of the leaves shatter because Of the
dryness. According to the application
by many inspectors of the present
grade rules, this hay is of lower
grade than when the leaves cling to
the stems, Notwithstanding the fact
that the leaves may be contained in
the bale.
Sources of Trouble.
Bleached hay, together with weeds,
causes considerable trouble in mar
keting alfalfa. 1t Is well known that
alfalfa hay bleaches quickly when ex
posed to bright sunlight, but there is
wide difference of opinion as to just
the amount of nutrient that is lost
in bleaching.
Commercial. grade rules, however,
are based in part upon this factor.
Producers and shippers in these sec
lions contend that too much weight is
given the color factor in the present
commercial grades for alfalfa and not
sufficient weight to its feeding value.
From Investigations recently made
by the bureau Of markets and crop
estimates, it appears that when the
present grading rules are rigidly and
technically applied, as is frequently
the case on declining markets, it is
impossible under the most ideal condi-
lions to produce "choice" grade alfal-
ia.
The presence of weed, a blade of
grass or of bleached stem will pre-
vent bale from grading choice" and
it is practically impossible to obtain
hay which is entirely clear of any Of
these things Considerable hay is
bought and sold on this grade, how
ever, but the use of it, and sometimes

entirely drying up, is never to be seri-
