there are bargain hunters even in

phase in golf than most others, II
for no other reason than that the
player dislikes to be laboring under
a handicap. To use a ball that stops

to handicap ones self, consequently

The trouble is, Jones may happen to

AS all who have made even a

Before the cloud burst which soak

the course for the playing of the
national open championship. Walter
Hagen, in commenting on the condi-
ton OF the ground. stated that IL
the turf remained hard the steel
shafted clubs would have been of
advantage IN hitting iron shots.
Hagen explained that with the
ground baked hard, the steel shafts
would enable a player to cut through
the crust and get the ball up. where
as an iron club with a wooden shaft
would turn more easily when it came
in contact with the unyielding turf
The steel shaft holds the head of
the club firmly in its proper posi-

OF course the steel shaft will not

ground could be so hard that when

had tendency to give. as is the case
with wooden clubs
The same stroke played with

The Home Garden

Strawberries are very important
fruit for the home garden. They do
not occupy much space and can be
easily grown. The rows can be
placed close together and the plants
set close together. The amount of
fruit grown will depend to large ex-
tent on thorough cultivation the first
year: Another important factor is to
pinch off all blooms that appear on
the young plants the first year. This
has been found in many cases to more
than double the crop the second year.
Barnyard manure is the best ferti-
lizer. If it cannot be obtained use
commercial fertilizer with high per-
cent of nitrogen and acid phosphates.
Broadcast it over the ground and work
well into the soil.
Many hundreds of varieties are
grown and the selection of the best is
important. For the home garden only
two or three varieties need be used.
