FOR those VINO are able to spare the
necessary time to make this circuit
in the Southland, these tournaments
serve as preparation tor the opening
of the outdoor season in the Nor b,
the White Sulphur Springs fixture being
the final event before the start Of
the local season.
Edwin Fuller Torrey, former vice
president Of the L. 5. l.. T. A.; Howard
Wing, secretary OF the Palm Beach
Tennis Club. and George Agutter, pro-
fessional at both the West Side Tennis
Club and the Poinciana courts, have
always arranged a brilliant two weeks
Of play in the Florida championships,
which is sufficient guaranty that this
year the entry will not be lacking in
quality.
Richard Norris Williams I'd, former
national champion, won the mems
singles CHAMPIONSHIP last year, defeat
ing lchlva kamagae in the final round.
When Williams was In New York at
the recent meeting to
asked him if he intended to defend
his title at Palm beacn this III lon
and he said he was undecided at that
time, owing to pressure Of h"siness.
The former national title-holder is
very keen about the week on the Florida
sea coast, however, and Ii II is
sible to get away he will be on hand,
but his entry is doubtful.
kumagae VIII Not BE Present
kumagae, who held the title until
Williams wrested it from him, will
not be present, Of course. owing to his
absence in Florida, but Torrcy. the
present doubles champion, with "Itchy,"
will play. and probably S. Howard
Voshell, former national indoor cham
pion. There is a possibility that
Vincent Richards, national junior
singles and senior doubles champion,
will go down for the tourney, and he
would, indeed, create a sensation for
the Florida galleries.
Miss Phyllis Walsh, of Philadelphia,
is the present holder of the womens
title and she will defend her laurels
next week. Mrs. Rawson l.. Wood, a
former Eoldcr of the honors and run
ner-up last year. may not be able to
go down this season, but Miss Annette
Tilford, Miss Gertrude Conway and
Mrs. r. L. Hiscoe, all tournament play
ers of experience, are expected in adj
dition to good entry from other
prominent feminine stars.

WADE DRAKE, FARMER


Ten years ago most of this farm was
CALLED and quilted waste-some of
the fields cut with such deep washes
that it was impossible to drive a
wagon across them.
Since that time Mr. Drake has
raised two bales of cotton per acre on
19S acres OF this worn out" land. He
raises more wheat and oats per acre
than most farmers in that section
and has wheat and oats to sell each
year, as we'll as cotton. Alfalfa and
other lcgumes are grown in proper ro-
tation. He sells hay. and has green
crops TO protect the soil in winter and
to turn under. In fact, green manur
ing. with the liberal use of pulver-
lied limestone and commercial fer
tiliZcrS has built up his land to its
present high state OF fertility. He
mas been lining this land for sixteen
years and his system OF rotation has
supplied the humus which his soils
required and given him more than one
money crop. Much Of the credit for
this excellent example ui successful

Were it treated with Il masters

struggling against innumerable odds
and confronted by untold obstacles in
the pursuit OF the apparently simple

has come to be recognized by many

basis OF all successful farming.
