No Standardized Golf Ball.

An interesting point In connection
with balls is that tennis balls and
baseballs have both been standardized
much more than the golf ball. In golf
no particular brand of ball has been
adopted, but In the last year the rules
have been changed by the United
States Golf association and the Royal
and Ancient in Britain, to specify that
a ball not smaller than 1.62 inches
in diameter, nor more than 1.62 ounces
In weight be used in tournament golf.
1.-THE reason why no particular
make of ball has been selected as Of.
fetal In the golf field is that only one
player uses the ball In the course OF
the tournament" an authority said.
I'm tennis and baseball there has to
be not only a standard bali, but one
OF q particular make, because with
these balls the player Is asking his
opponent to use the same ball. Your
ball may suit your style of play yet
send him off his game.

HELP WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS
Farmers in Vicinity of Grove City,
Pa, Sign Requests to Have
Herds Tested.

The community at Grove City, Pa,
where the dairy division of the United
States Department of Agriculture Is
carrying on community extension
work, is active In tuberculosis eradfca-
ton. The owners of several hundred
herds signed requests to have their
herds tested and accredited; In fact II
appears that practically all the patrons
Of the Grove City creamery soon viii
have their animals teSted. This work
originated with the bull associations
operating In that vicinity; but 1t now
extends throughout the county, and
even TO the two adjoining counties.
An interesting feature of the situa-
ton is the springing up Of the Grove
City Accredited-Dai Cattle Show
and Sales association. composed Of
owners of accredited herds who wish
to take advantage OF the fact that all
their herds are clean, to cooperate In
improvement. and sell all their stock
on that basis. One member who has
q clean herd says that after his herd
was tested he sold some cows for $500
each, which. previously, he would have
parted with for half that amount. He
had actually offered them for $3.50
prior to the test.
