SAND GREENS BOTHER GOLF
CRACKS All ilHUNlASVILLE

BROWNSVILLE, March IA. =
Thomasville and neighboring towns
sent large delegations to the local
country club Monday to witness a
golf match between Jim Barnes,
American, and Jock Hutchinson,
British open champions, and Jimmy
Rose and Tom Hucknall, of Talla-
hassee. The visitors won by nine
holes in a thirty-six hole match. They
planyed a wonderful game in many
respects, their driving being espec-
tally spectacular, but they were han
dicapped in making very low scores
by the sand greens of the local club.
Barnes turned in 80 on one round,
which is one above the professional
record for the course and is the equal
of the amateur record. Hutchinson's
lowest score was 33. Four hundred
visitors at the club watched the
match.

CURB MARKET
FORGING AHEAD
Farmers Learn What To Bring
And How To Put 1t
Up

The fifth curb market will be open
ed at the court house curb Wednes-
day morning, at the usual hour of
$50, continuing until 1890. All
Americus housewives, particularly
those pledged to attend and patron
ize the market for the first four
weeks, are urged not to forget to be
on hand.
Last Saturdays market from many
standpoints was the most satisfactory
yet held. The farmers, learning the
extent of the demand and the char
acter of produce most desired,
brought in smaller amounts, put up
in better and more attractive condi-
ton, and sold out cleaner than be-
fore. The result was better satisfac-
tion on their part. The buyers were
present in good numbers, but the late
comers went away empty handed in
many cases, not being able to find
products they desired. The earlier
shoppers found a splendid array of
attractive goods for the Sunday din
ners.
The curb market appears to have
become an institution already. The
farmers have been sufficiently sue
cessful to guarantee a regular sup
ply of farm products. All that re-
mains to make it permanent is for
the housewives not to neglect to visit
the market regularly when it is pos
sible for them to attend it.

Helps in Shipping

Prompt daily reports on the fruit
and vegetable markets enables the
farmer to determine when and where
farm products are most needed and
to arrange his shipments according
ly.
A sudden frost may kill an entire
fruit crop. By radio, warnings of
severe. temperature changes or of
storms can be flashed instantly to an
entire district.
When thousands of tons Of food
products are threatened with de-
struction by impending storms or
floods; ordinary methods of com
nnunicating warnings are too slow.
Market news to be of greatest value
should be received the same day.
III this is possible by radio. 1t en-
ables the farmer to keep in instant
touch with weather, crop and mar
ket news necessary for his business
it gives for his information sum-
mary of important news happenings;
It brings to his home, for all his fam
lily to hear, lectures, concerts, and
other entertainments heretofore only
accessible to the city dweller.
Radio puts the farmer in direct
touch with the wohle world.

COART ON STAND PLEADS UNWRITTEN LAW
RADIO TO REVOLUTIONIZE
FARMING, SAYS u. S. CHIEF
Weather, Crop And Market News
Now Being Broadcasted
Daily
Ey w. A. WHEELER
Chief, Radio News Service, u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture

WASHINGTON, March IA. -
Adaptation of radio communication
to the use and service of agriculture
will, in my judgment, do more to
revolutionize life on American farms
than any other single factor that has
ever been known.
Radio can bring the farmer
those things the lack of which has
done most to make farm life both
difficult and distatsteful - news,
market information, amusements
and instructive entertainment.
To my mind, there Is no SINGLE use
of radio except the protection of life
at sea and in the air that should
take precedence over its utilization
for the benefit of agriculture.
There are more than $4,000 600
people on farms, comprising nearly
one-third the total poulation of the
United States. Most of these are
located where they are practically
cut off from immediate contact with
the outside world. The radio is the
only means Of getting to them quick
ly either the economic information
necessary in the proper conduct of
their business, or the general news
of the day. .
Six Radio Stations
The Department of Agriculture
broadcasts weather, crop and market
reports from six radio stations of the
Postoffice Department.
Daily market reports on the live
stock, grain, cotton, hay, feed, fruits
and vegetable markets are broadcast
over virtually the entire United
States. Farmers located almost any
where can receive them either direct
of through the assistance of amateur
operators.
A number of state bureaus Of mar
kets and agricultural colleges are
also broadcasting both local and ma
tional market and crop reports by
radio telegraphy and radiophone.
With regard to the broadcasting Of
music and entertainment, anything
in the way of entertainment that
will afford the farmer even slight di-
vertisement from his daily labors
will immeasurably rebound to the
OCiICliC VI lIG WllOlt iidIiOn. Inc
farmer is as much interested in the
daily gossip, financial or sport news
as anyone. In many instances, the
only entertainment of which the
farmer can avail himself is that
which comes by radiophone.
The time element in dispatching
weather, crop and market news is a
big factor affecting the value of such
reports.
In cutting hay or harvesting
grain, for example, an hours delay
in the dispatch of weather reports
may mean loss of several thousand
dollars. An early morning report on
weather conditions and the estimat-
ed receipts at the market that day is
of great value to the live stock grow
ers about to ship a carload of hogs to
