One Of the main worries in golfi
which seems to harass or bother
innumerabIe players of average
ability concerns the location of the
feet in regard to the ball.
And this is an extremely import
ant detail in connection with the
swing and the relation of hands
and club head as the ball is hit
Is II better, We have been asked
frequently, TO play the ball on the
left foot. in between, or from the
right foot? There are star exam
Piles for all three methods. but We
rather think the majority of hne
players will be found playing the
ball on a line midway between the
heels rather than from a position
distinctly off the left heel or dis
tinctly on the right
A. Good Test.
One day last summer We ran
across a golfer whose swing seemed
to be fawless in every way. and
yet who was getting. astonishingly
bad results.
This golfer in question was play
ing the ball we'll advanced to the
front on a line with the left toe.
Selecting a place where the turf
was cropped We asked him to swing
with the ball removed: just to take
a natural swing. After perhaps
eight or ten of these swings we
found that he had worn away one
bare spot where the club head
grazed the ground before starting
upward-and this bare spot was on
line that was exactly between the
two heels. neither on the left or
right foot. Also this worn spot was
at least twelve inches back OF the
spot where he had been teeing his
ball.
His natural swing called for a
stance with the ball midway out
between the two heels. Naturally in
hitting at ball twelve inches fur
ther front. he had either TO alter
his natural swing on the way down
or else to catch the top Of the ball
as he was coming up.
This matter of taking eight or
ten of them in succession when
working out a fault isn't a bad way
OF finding just how the feet should
be placed. For you can then tell
by the spot worn down by the club
head just where the ball should be
in relation to the position Of your
feet.
Other Positions.

play the ball of the left heel,

In this granary there are corn crib

extending up to the roof. On the sec
ond floor immediately above the drive
way are the bins for the heayiei
grain. The spout of the elevator can

The building is % feet wide and sc
feet long. The drive is 10 feet wide,
and each corn crib is s feet wide.
This is the propitious time to build
corn crib so as to be ready for the
harvest when it comes around. The
wise farmer is aware of the deadly
inrOadS of the millions OF rodents,
pests, etc, and will not be caught like
he was last year. There is no sense In
working hard all year only to put the
fruits of your efforts in shack built
of few boards as the only protection
against bad weather The constant
| exposure to the rain, frost and snow
will play havoc with the corn and cut
down its market value considerably.
This structure will be a valuable adj
dition for any farmer who raises a
good crop, and is doubly attractive be-
cause of its economy in construction.
Moreover, because of the installation
of the elevator it will be splendid aid
to. him in keeping help on the farm
satisfied. One of the big reasons for
the difficulty in keeping help is the
hack-breaking work which they have
to perform. In this case one Of the
hardest tasks has been made easy.
Only through the construction of
such buildings and the installation of
the most modern labor-saving equip
ment can the modern farmer hope to
stem the exodus of the young men to
the cities. When the work is made
attractive they will stay. And only
by building substantial corn cribs and
granaries can the farmer hope to reap
the. profits which should be his.

most monstrous showing ever made in
