one of the best ways in the world
to learn golf is to take one club out
and find just what that club can do.
Work with one club until you get
on friendly terms with il, until you
know just what distance it can cover,
until you feel used to it
In playing a round of golf one never
gets the chance to uSe-any one club
often enough. He hits drive, then
takes an iron or a mashie,-and then
a niblick or putter-
In this way he is constantly con-
fused and generally guessing
If he could only hit thirty or forty
consecutive shots with the same club
play With One Club.
The best way-to play or to practice
now with the winter coming on is to
take out one club
There are always chances to play
thru the winter, even tho the game
itself on winter courses and winter
greens isn't quite up to the summer
standard.
But the average player can do his
game a world OF good ana nave Just
as much fun. even more fun. by taking
out a midiron, jigSer lnashie and
plaving every stroke with this club
He can find a friend or so willing to
do the same thing and have keen COM
petition along this line.
And while he is doing this he can
soon come to have more than distant
acquaintance with each club in his bag
If a player has three hours for prac-
tice he should give at least two and a
half hours of this to iron play and
only thirty minutes to driving. He
usually does just the opposite.
Take the case of Chick Evans.
Chick has always spent a lot of his
time practicing and playing with his
irons. He used to take a midiron or
mashie and play four or five holes
each afternoon, and then finish off
with an hours practice with one club.
It is a great thing in golf to know
what each club can do and to have
some confidence in the ones you have
to use.
How to Work It.
Suppose you take out midiron for
your winter round. 1t will surprise
YOU to find the number of things you
can do with this club. You will find
it useful for getting good distance, for
shots, for putting and
even for playing out of bunkers.
Try first holding with a lighter grip,
standing Just a trifle closer to the ball
Try not TO take too much turf, but to
catch the ball more cleanly. only
skimming the surface below the ball.

Building Up Your Game
By JAMES NJ BARNES
Former Open Golf Champion of the U. 6
Copyright. 1892 New York Tribune Inc)

For full shots hold the club near
the top of the grip. But for the shorter
efforts grip nearer the bottom OF the
leather. always making habit of hit
ting firmly thru
L Never start a full swing and then
ease up. Hit thru. once you have
started. 1t is a great habit to get into.
Even if you go too far 1t is much better
than forming the habit of quitting on
the down swing
If YOU take a midiron out one day,
try a jigger or a mashie iron the next.
And after that a mas41ie. The nashie
is a great club to know. And you will
never know it by hitting a shot every
ten or fifteen minutes with 1t.
BY playing an entire round with a
fnashie YOU soon find just what dis
tances you can get on your different
swings. and these remain in your mem
ory. Later on you don't have to guess
and break your concentration.
When the weather is too bad for
outdoor play I am a firm believer in
the winter indoor schools. There are
no mental hazards here and so tits
easier to concentrate. There is no
better play to learn the value of bal
ance at the top of the swing, position
of the feet and other details that are
needed TO make a decent score
One can acquire in the indoor
school the habit of keeping his head
anchored without looking up, and
there is no finer habit in golf to work
for. There is no reason Tor looking
up indoors, and the habit once de-
veIoped of keeping the head in place
will be 4 big help later on.
After all. in golf it is the shot to
the green that counts. There is no
doubt of this. 1t is the big scoring
stroke of the game. So if you can get
your midiron and your mashie under
pretty good control you will be get
ting on. always a hard man to set
down. I know that when my midiron
and mashie are working in the right
way never have to bother. In work
ing with either on a full swing or at
practice, always make sure that your
right elbow is in place against your
body and that your left arm is straight
but not stiff. In playing the iron you
don't have to pivot quite as much.
and that means that your left heel
barely leaves the ground. In taking
out one club at a time always i axe
a study of it in place of merely hitting
the ball without any thought. And it
is especially necessary to work most
with the club you play worst. If you
are off with any one club, never over
look an opportunity to play or prac-
tice with that club until the faults
are corrected.

Hays, Kan. Dec. 23.-One of the

agriculture in western Kansas, rests
primarily, in the production of crops

The Fort Hays station is constantly
trying out new sorts and whenever one
is found which has exceptional merit.
it is given field trials to demonstrate
any superiority which it might have.
Following such trials. If the variety
is worthy. the seed is made available
to the farmers of the state.
According to L. c. Archer. superin-

Spaulding of Minnesota, will have a
formidable nucleus about which to
build his 1928 Gopher eleven.

Farmers Must Raise
Good Crops and Must
Receive Fair Prices

We are all looking ahead to pros
porous times. Farmers, business
men, great corporations, and the
citizens of every village and city in
the country are in he position Of the
boy walking past the cemetary on a
dark night, they are whistling op-
timism, which is good and whole
some, nevertheless the return of
prosperity in Idaho depends on just
two things, first that the farmers Of
the state raise good crops, because
all new wealth comes out of the soil
and live stock, second that he re-
ceives cost Of production plus a
profit.
It is an evident fact that the
majority of our farmers are one or
two crop men, which is all we'll and
good if he is raising crops for which
there is an active demand and sells
above the cost Of production plus a
reasonable rate of interest on his in
vestment over a term Of years, but
the farmer who raises hay and grain
as his major crop will find that he
is on the wrong side of the ledger.
The twelve principle crops in Idaho
only brought sixty-four million dol
lars in 1921 and those crops on a
whole were produced at an actual
loss to the farmer and n Of the
! reasons for this situation is, the
farmers persist in raising one or
two crops, the remedy is diversified
ton, inte~nsification and rotation OF
crops, live stock, the COW, the pig
and the hen.
There are two counties in south
ern Idaho that are reasonably pros
porous. The majority of their farm
ers have a monthly income, the
banks are in good shape. They have
the money to finance the production
Of this years crops. Some of them
haven't a dollar of rediscount paper

and hogs brought into n of these
counties $4,000, 900 last year. Ash

Market Assured
We know how to grow sugar beets
after two decades of practice. We
have the machinery, the labor; we
know how to treat the soil. We
have an assured market. This year,
for instance, we may feed our po-
tatoes to the hogs and cattle. No
one knows. The high prices of last
year may, as usually happens, con-
vert the growers to plant a large
acreage Of potatoes. If the east does

may have a poor market for u po-

may occur. No one with any regard
for his future would dare predict a
price for potatoes or any other such
crop. And that is just the point
that sugar beet growers should re,
